Twenty One Pilots – Scaled and Icy Album Review

It really doesn’t feel like that much time has passed since Twenty One Pilots’ last album, Trench, came out but then again, 2020 was a bit of a blur. Indeed, it has been three years since that release, so of course quarantining in a pandemic spawned the duo’s latest effort, Scaled and Icy. While a lot of the content on here is new territory for the band, there does seem to be a fair bit of throwback in it, too. Let’s dive in!

Fan Art Spotlight: Twenty One Pilots

One would have to think Twenty One Pilots were the obvious choice for this week’s fan art Friday. But in case it’s not, I’ll let you know that the band has a new album, Scaled and Icy, out today! On top of that, they are also doing a live stream performance this evening! Check back in tomorrow for a full review of the new album (sadly, I won’t be around to watch the live stream). Enjoy!

Book Review: Paradise Valley by C.J. Box

I’d say I’m moving through The Highway book series by C.J. Box rather quickly! A large part of that is attributed to my morbid curiosity of seeing how well the show, Big Sky, is relating to its source material. Well, I can say that by the end of the third installment, Paradise Valley, they really aren’t following the storyline. Now, I will say based off the second novel that the show totally deviated from, I didn’t really think that this novel would be followed either because the blurb made it sound like a direct continuation of those events.

Average Movie Weekend

This is perhaps the least amount of films I’ve watched in a given weekend since the pandemic started. I must admit that makes me a little sad. Sad because I love movies, but I suppose not as sad because I am starting to (safely) get back to normal a little bit. Either way, the limited choices in films I made this weekend were mediocre at best, but for the most part enjoyable to watch. Sometimes you can’t ask for more then that.

MTV Movie & TV Awards

As cool as it is that anyone can vote for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, it also becomes painfully obvious that the general public just doesn’t watch much beyond Marvel’s catalog and Netflix young adult romances. That makes me sad inside, but I guess there’s got to be something for the average viewer. With that being said, let’s jump into the somewhat predictable results of the show!

Book Review: The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

It’s been a good couple years since the finale of Shadowhunters aired, and just about two years since I’ve last read anything about this wonderful cast of characters, so when I saw I’d been sleeping on the release of the second book in the Eldest Curses trilogy, The Lost Book of the White, I immediately went to my local library to rent it out. It was a quick read, given how much I love the series, and this adventure was just as fun as the first outing of the trilogy!

Book Review: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

Are you really at all surprised that so soon after watching the first two season of A Discovery of Witches that I would start reading the books? It really should come as no shock. Seeing as I burn through shows and movies as quick as I can, I figure if I like something enough I want to read the book before too many details escape my memory. That’s why as soon as I saw it was available I went to the closest library to rent the first book in Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy, A Discovery of Witches.
