A couple days ago I finished reading the debut young adult novel Our Chemical Hearts written by Krystal Sutherland. Having watched the film adaptation a few weeks ago and being rather disappointed with how cringe-worthy it was, you’d think I’d be nervous about reading the source material, but I wasn’t! In fact, more than half way through the film both my friend and I agreed that this book was probably infinitely better, and it was!

Most Random Movies
I don’t know that anything I watched this weekend I planned on watching, but I have zero regrets about any of them. All were practically spur of the moment, with a few that I’d never even really heard of before. They also covered a wide array of genres which always makes for an entertaining time. I would say if you picked any of these films to watch in the future you won’t be let down. I promise!
Read moreHeroes of the Shadow World Convention
Well, just like most other events in the world, this year’s first and only Shadowhunters convention got pushed until next year. In an effort to please the fans though, Jalmics, the organizer of the event, roped together an At Home convention for this past weekend! I will say, despite the event not taking place in person, this experience was pretty sweet! As an avid fan of the show, I was particularly pumped about it.
Read moreThe Boys – Season 2, Episode 4
Alright, just starting this off by saying there will be SPOILERS about the fourth episode of The Boys‘ second season. There. You’ve been warned. I also wanted to let you all know that you technically don’t have to wait until Friday to watch the new episodes! Both this week and last, these gems were available on Thursday night, and not at midnight – several hours beforehand! So be impatient like me and get the up and up on everyone else.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Shadowhunters Edition
I mean this is really the Shadowhunters edition specifically featuring old Matthew Daddario drawings, but whatever! Doesn’t matter. What does matter is that the Shadowhunters Conversation at Home is taking place this weekend and I am pumped! I’ll be watching panels and interviews all weekend long and hopefully get to throw a few questions at the cast and crew myself. Not the same as being in person, but hopefully that can happen next year! Until then, enjoy some artwork.
Read moreConcert Throwback: Declan McKenna
Since I just reviewed Declan McKenna’s newest musical release, Zeroes, I figured I’d throw it back to the time I got to see him live! And at an incredibly tiny, local venue for that matter! Bliss. This guy is a true talent for his youth and I enjoyed every second of the performance. Even my friend who I dragged along with me had a great time! Once we’re out of this quarantine hell, go catch him in concert!
Read moreAlbum Review: Declan McKenna – Zeroes
I’m so mad at myself for waiting almost a whole week to listen to Declan McKenna’s new album, Zeroes. It’s been three years since his debut release, and then this record has had its release date pushed way too many times. Although, I suppose it was ultimately worth the wait because it was a spectacular listen!
Read morePoetry Review: Crush by Richard Siken
It’s been a little while since I’ve cracked open a book of poetry, but Richard Siken’s Crush just so happened to randomly enter my orbit, and I’m so glad it did! This is not your typical collection of poems, it’s essentially broken the rules to deliver something that is at times gut-wrenching and at others beautiful. It’s things like these that always keep my love of reading and writing poetry alive.
Read moreThe Boys – Season 2, Episodes 1-3
The Boys are back and I am so excited to get back into the lives of these degenerates! Luckily, I had a much shorter wait than most of the fans who watched the first season when it was initially released, but that doesn’t mean I was any less anxious for new content! And even though the first three episodes are all that’s at our disposal, it was plenty to keep our minds occupied until this coming Friday.
Read moreLabor Day Movie Weekend
So many movies over this holiday weekend! Overall, they were very pleasing, which is quite the feat especially given that some titles I had never heard of until about ten minutes before I decided to watch them. Below is a quick synopsis and my fast take on each of them. Enjoy!
