So far in January I’ve read 4 books which, obviously, brings me to 4 books for the year. I’ve made some progress on my reading goals too. I’m going to do something a little different this year and rank books as I read them. This will be both my first installment and, as I finish […]
I struggled trying to figure out what metrics to use when choosing my Oscar winners. Like, do I pick the movie I thought was most impactful for the movie I liked watching the most? The one I thought was more important or the one that was most visually stunning? In the end I employed metrics […]
In February I read five books, which is fine but I’m still behind by three books for my yearly goal. I’ll pick it up, right? Just have a wedding and honeymoon coming up, that shouldn’t take away from reading at all. I did make some progress on my 2018 reading challenges. Plus, you know, I […]
February was a busy, short little movie month for me. I was at the theater 12 times but only saw 5 new movies, thanks to several repeat viewings (Black Panther, 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and the Shape of water), several trips to see the Oscar nominated short films (more on this at the end), […]
Hi, friends! In the second half of January I read 6 books. Here they are, with my favorite first and my ickiest the last. Tiny, Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed. Holy cow. What does a person say about this book? One thing that’s true is that it’s a compilation of letters written to Sugar, an […]
Here we go again! Thanks to Movie Pass I was able to get to 8 movies in January, no big deal! Once again, here they are, in order of excellence. The Shape of Water. I can’t stop thinking about this movie. IT WAS SO GOOD. Like, magical good. Like, I will likely see it a […]
I’m a lucky girl and have Movie Pass, which allows me to pay $9.95 a month (I actually pay less because I got in on a special yearly pass for $89.95) and then go see movies in the theater up to once a day. In December I took advantage and went to the movies 17 […]
Hey y’all, long time no see! I’ve been buried under a pile of books over here but I’m ready to claw my way out. Personally, it will be hard to top 2017 for me: I went to Italy, got engaged, and brought in more income than I have ever brought in during my ten years […]
I loved this book so much that I got to the last 15 pages and then put it aside for days because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these folks yet. New People by Danzy Senna was sent to me in the August Call Number subscription box. It is the story of a mixed couple […]
I like the Thrifty Books box because it’s pretty darn affordable and it’s introduced me to some great books. I pre-paid for a year and it came out to just over $17 per box including shipping, which is on the lower end compared to other book boxes. You can read reviews of past Thrifty Books boxes here. The […]
