After reading Karen McManus’ prior novels, One of Us is Lying, Two Can Keep a Secret, and One of Us is Next, it seemed like a no-brainer that I’d be getting my hands on her latest release, The Cousins. Actually, my sister got her hands on it as soon as it released because McManus’ books are some of the few she’s devoured this year. And for good reason! They have all been twisty and irresistible to put down.

Holiday Movie Review
I would dub this a holiday movie review because most of what I watched was related to this time of year! Perhaps the only good Christmas movies I know got watched, but I’m warning you that the number is low. There are also some sad films in the mix, because everything happy probably always has a little bit of sadness, too.

Well, one of these new movies might be taking the crown for my favorite movie of 2020, so keep reading to find out which one of these new titles is the winner!
Read moreAlbum Review: Blaqk Audio and 5 Seconds of Summer
Blaqk Audio’s Beneath the Black Palms and 5 Seconds of Summer’s Calm were both drastically different listening experiences, but enjoyable in their own ways. Yes, this means I am still trying to make my way through some 2020 releases that have been on my list this year.
Read moreThe Queen’s Gambit Miniseries Review
Since The Queen’s Gambit came out a couple months ago, I have yet to see a bad or even somewhat disappointed review for it. Now I understand why! This was one of the strongest series I’ve ever watched and it was something I know next to nothing about: chess! This, coupled with Ted Lasso, proves that if a show is written and acted really well, then it doesn’t matter how seemingly boring your subject matter is. If you would have told me at the start of the year that the best fictionalized television I would watch was about soccer and chess I would have laughed in your face. They have proven me wrong.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Arcade Fire
I think it’s no big reveal that I’ve been obsessing over Arcade Fire for most of quarantine. In honor of that of course I decided to draw the whole band for the first time in almost ten years! Their album Reflector has really been my jam this past month, so I’m glad I found this to draw! Again, can’t wait for new music and hopefully the chance to see them live soon.
Read moreThe Undoing Miniseries Review
I’ve only recently been able to enjoy what HBO Max has to offer, but so far it has not been disappointing! Yes, I missed the initial run of this superstar miniseries, The Undoing, when it first premiered on HBO, but I’m really not that far off the rest of the world so kudos to me. The six episodes had me guessing, and that made for a very entertaining ride.
Read moreBook Review: The Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver
Wow! The Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver might be one of the best books I’ve read this year! It had me guessing until the big reveal, but the drama had me hooked from the start.
Read moreBastille & Foster the People – EP Reviews
Two of my favorite bands released new music the past couple weeks and I’m here for it! Neither Bastille nor Foster the People have put out a full length record for quite a few years, so I’m at least thankful to the pandemic for getting me some new tunes from them!
Read moreMid-Week Movie Review: Awards Season Contenders
As I mentioned with my last movie review, I recently became a member of Film Independent, which features a lot of independent films. Those are usually the Oscars’ favorites, and they’re mine, too! It’s sort of crazy the amount of content that’s available for Film Independent members, and you’ll definitely catch me taking advantage of it. That being said, most of these films are available to me before they are to the general public, so I’ll keep these reviews as spoiler free as I can!
