That’s right, two times the book reviews! Mainly because I read and finished two books simultaneously this week. That usually doesn’t happen, so for this rare occasion I will give my thoughts at the same time! They were two fairly different stories. One was a romantic drama, where two very different people work though in their own way why their relationship isn’t working. The other was a thriller about a woman feeling like her life is getting turned upside down when she learns secrets about her late husband and her current husband!

The 24 Hour Plays
What a cool concept the 24 Hour Plays is! In a nutshell, a handful of writers, directors, and actors have just 24 hours to come up with an original idea and then at the end of the day have it performed live in front of a streaming audience (myself included this time around). Normally, 24 Hour Plays take place in a live setting in cities all over the world and include plays, musical, and monologues. Since the pandemic started, they’ve adapted the concept into a streaming capacity, which I think is a great way to keep the creative going!
Read moreFargo Season 4 Finale
Eleven weeks have come and gone, and we all finally got to see the conclusion of Fargo‘s fourth season. Sure, overall it was my least favorite season, but that certainly doesn’t mean it wasn’t great television! It was a remarkable season in its own right and fit in well with the rest of the Fargo catalog. Here we go!
Read moreHoliday Movie Weekend
After stuffing my face with turkey (quarantined at my house), I made sure I left tons of time over the holiday weekend to watch as many movies as I could manage! Here they are, neatly reviewed for you.
Read moreBig Sky Episodes 1 & 2
Apologies for my lack of urgency with watching this new ABC series, Big Sky, but I did eventually and it was worth the wait! This crime drama is based off a novel called The Highway written by C.J. Box and follows private detectives with messy and entwined personal lives as they try and find missing girls kidnapped on a remote highway in Montana. Just so you know, there will be some serious SPOILERS ahead, so beware.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Marilyn Manson
I realize it’s technically Saturday, but you’ll just have to deal with this late fan art of the very talented Marilyn Manson! He posted this photo a month or so ago and I thought it looked cool enough to recreate!
Read moreBook Review: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Now that Halloween has been over for several weeks, it’s been easier for me to get my hands on some spooky novels! Also, ever since reading and watching the biographical but largely fictional, Shirley, I’ve found myself more interested in reading her works. I figured what better way to start than with her very popular, The Haunting of Hill House. Selfishly, I also chose to read this because I want to watch the series, but I have been too afraid to do so. I figure if I give it a read first it might calm my nerves about eventually watching it.
Read moreKidding Season 2
Unfortunately, the second season of Showtime’s Kidding is its last and I am bummed because the second season was a very entertaining ride. Luckily, that first season cliffhanger is right where the action picks up in the second, and we get to see this group of people seemingly further upend their lives.
Read moreTwo New Movies with Two Very Different Reactions
I think that title tells you what you’re about to read here, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, my reaction will not be all too different from the critics who have already seen these films. The other day, Netflix released Hillbilly Elegy, which was adapted from the memoir of the same name by J.D. Vance. The very next day, Hulu released the holiday romantic comedy, Happiest Season. Based on that very limited information, I’m sure your assumptions of what was good and what was bad is actually wrong!

Some new, some old, some new to me…a cornucopia of films this weekend! I’d say I’ve primed myself nicely for this holiday weekend’s viewing standards.
