Spoilers, kind of. Maybe don't read if you haven't finished the episode. Since House of the Dragon ended, my Sunday nights have been pretty dry television-wise. Desperate to find something, anything, to watch, I put The Last of Us on my TBW (To Be Watched) list for one reason, and one reason only: Pedro Pascal.… Continue reading The Last of Us S1E1- Thoughts and Reactions
Y'all... I cannot with this show. I just... can't. And I mean that in the absolute best way. Shit's gotten so real. My head is still spinning. Let's get into some of my initial reactions from House of the Dragon's fifth episode (as of typing this post the episode's title hasn't been released. I might… Continue reading House of the Dragon: S1E5 – Thoughts
THRONES, Y'ALL! I'm not going to lie, after the shitshow that was Game of Thrones' final season I lost a LOT of interest in the goings on of Westeros, so when I found out HBO was going to put more money into the franchise with a spinoff, I was spitefully uninterested and didn't for a… Continue reading House of the Dragon
I tried. I really did. After the mess that was season 6, I knew Orange Is the New Black's final season was either going to blow me away or leave me feeling empty, but I was surprised to find that it did neither of those things. It just annoyed me. I finished those thirteen episodes… Continue reading The Tragic End Of An Iconic Era – Orange Is the New Black S7
(I need to preface this post by saying Queenie should win some kind of award for its cover. I mean LOOK at that art! The nanosecond I laid eyes on that cover I knew I had to read this book, I didn't even bother reading what in the world it was about.) If you're looking… Continue reading To Be Young, Self-Destructive, and Black
As someone who spends way too much time on Twitter, I've been plagued with reading countless arguments about whether it's a good thing or the "right" thing for a woman to continue a relationship with a man who goes to prison. Each side of said argument thinks they're right and the other is wrong, naturally,… Continue reading An American Marriage
I finally got around to reading Crazy Rich Asians! Kevin Kwan's novel, the film adaptation of which took Hollywood by storm this past August (and I still haven't seen) has been on my to-read list since around October, but I kept pushing it back because my method of choosing books to read is literally eenie meenie monie… Continue reading A Crash Course In Couture
Imagine a mashup of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, the musical whimsy of 2016's Academy Award-winning La La Land, and heroin, and you get Heather O'Neill's The Lonely Hearts Hotel. This rather unique love story set in Depression-era Montreal is the most perfect balance of sadness and fantasy with a touch of humor that someone with as… Continue reading Whimsy and Despair Clash in Canada
Here it is! My first review as a grad student! A LOT has been happening in the last seven weeks since I made my move to Baton Rouge, which explains the lack of blog activity, but I'm technically still on top of my "one book a month" goal, so let's get into it! My latest… Continue reading Walking A Mile In the Shoes of A Dead Woman
Let me start this post off by saying there will be spoilers. For any of you who may have lived under a rock for the past five years and aren't familiar with Netflix hit Orange Is the New Black (I'll be referring to it from here on out as OITNB or Orange for simplicity's sake), the show follows… Continue reading Vengeance, Kickball, and Sheer Disappointment: Orange Is the New Black S6
