I feel like I’ve been ripping through books recently, and I’m not mad about it! Especially when my friend let me borrow newly released Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. After his prior two novels, Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book! And let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Compared to his other two outings, this one sounded the least like the other two. Yes, it was told from a female’s perspective, but the tone and cadence reminded me more of Ruth Ware’s The Death of Mrs. Westaway.

Movie Review: Ready or Not
A few months back when I saw the trailer for Ready or Not, I thought to myself, “have I seen this before?” And with a little bit of thought, two movies actually came to mind, You’re Next and The Invitation. Both movies focus on a night of survival from attackers, but while those two films were their own thing, so was Ready or Not, and I was definitely ready to see it!
Read moreConcert Review: Slipknot
That’s right folks, you read correctly. My sister and I went and saw Slipknot this past Friday. It’s a once in a five or so year opportunity, so my sister made sure we jumped on those tickets as soon as we could!
Read moreFan Art Friday/New Movie Review
You know, I wanted to do a full movie recap of The Peanut Butter Falcon that I had the pleasure of watching last night, but I realize there was so much in there that can’t be converted into words that I decided this could also be an appreciation post for Shia LaBeouf! I’ve grown up with Shia starting with Even Stevens, so seeing him make very indie, but incredible film choices over the years has been really fun to watch. Sure, his social life is a little odd, but wasn’t Louis, too?
Read moreWhere’d You Go, Bernadette Movie Review
Saturday night, while my sister and a friend went to go see 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, I went to go see, by myself, in an empty theater, the newly released Where’d You Go, Bernadette. A lot of people would be very uncomfortable with that, my sister included, but I think it’s sort of awesome! And the fact that it’s happened to me twice in one month (The Art of Self Defense) means that people are sleeping on some pretty good cinema!
Read moreBook Review: Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer
I feel like I’ve been living in the young adult novel world for most of the summer, but truthfully I don’t mind it. They’re easy and most that I’ve picked are quite good, and that includes the latest, Call It What You Want written by Brigid Kemmerer.
Read moreSummer Concert Series: Korn/Alice in Chains
Hey all! While it was a slow start to the year with concerts for me, summer has been making up for it generously with some legit tours! And riding into that awesome wave was the co-headlining tour of Korn and Alice in Chains that I had the opportunity to attend last night! The crowds were wild and the music was blaring, so that means I had a great time!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Highly Suspect
In honor of Highly Suspect finally releasing new music today in the forms of singles, “16” and “Upper Drugs,” off their upcoming third full length, MCID, which is due out November 1st, here is a pretty ambitious pen drawing I did of Johnny Stevens from back before he had his face tats.
Read moreWestern & Southern Open: ATP & WTA Tennis
Earlier this week, my dad and I traveled down to watch some professional tennis at the Cincinnati Masters! I know that this is technically not a concert, but it’s the only sport and sporting event that I watch and attend annually, so it’s getting documented. Sadly, my favorite player, Rafael Nadal, wasn’t in attendance again this year, but I still saw a ton of great matches and up close and personal to other top players!
Read moreTV Rewind: Animal Kingdom, Seasons 1 & 2
So now that I’ve finally gotten into the swing of TNT’s drama, Animal Kingdom, based off of the Australian film of the same name, I figured I’m safe to finally write about it! I should also note that I’m doing the same thing I did with Gotham, in that I am watching the older seasons while also watching the newest episodes…not confusing at all.
