Personally, I’ve found that the characters I have a penchant for tend… Continue reading Close Reading: “cheating”
Several years ago, I read a book that advertised itself as a historical mystery, when in actual fact it was a Christian historical romance. That was not the book I wanted to read, so even though it wasn’t badly written and it didn’t have a terrible plot or message, I didn’t like it. I could… Continue reading NOT a Book Recommendation

I ended up watching the movie- Netflix’s Nimona– after I had already scheduled the post, and I didn’t want to wait a whole week to talk about it, so… Continue reading Monday Mini-Post: Nimona
Star Wars Visions is back, and so my mini reviews are also back! Reviews will contain spoilers, so reader discretion is advised.
I mentioned a while ago that over the holidays, we did a “famous literary places” puzzle that included famous buildings twenty-something (I think? Maybe low thirties) works of classic literature. I had read most, but not all, so I vowed that this year I would read the remainder of the list. And I did! So… Continue reading Reading Challenge Book Reviews

It’s not going to be explicit in any way, but if you’re not interested in reading anything like this, feel free to skip it (as you’re always welcome to skip any of my posts, or unsubscribe)! There are three films in the Magic… Continue reading The Epic Highs and Lows of the Magic Mike Franchise
