Unreliable Narrators: What I Read in February 2019
I read 10 books in the month of February, and so many of them had unreliable narrators... maybe it's a theme for the month of love?
What I Read: October 2018
For some reason, October was a weak reading month for me. It started with the double whammy of homecoming week and the end of the first grading period falling in the first 10 days of the month, and I struggled to get any reading done at all. I finished my first book of the month … Continue reading What I Read: October 2018
Suspicious Characters: What I Read August 2018

That got me thinking about how AWESOME 2014 was for Books-Turned-Movies, with The Fault in Our … Continue reading Books Turned Movies in 2015

After reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed back in October, I was itching to see this movie! Luckily, I had my awesome cousins in town for the Christmas break and they were able to come watch Cheryl's adventures on the big screen with me! Of course, us being, well, us, we ended up having to sit in … Continue reading Wild Hits Theaters
