It’s been a hot minute since I’ve watched Criminal Minds, but Matthew Gray Gubler was always my favorite member of the BAU, and he’s just a really cool guy outside of the show. He’s also been in some fantastic indie films, and used to be a model, so it seems sort of obvious that he would be my final drawing of 2020. Enjoy!
Read moreThe Rest of the Best 2020
You already saw what movies rocked my socks off and which ones totally sucked, but now it’s time to talk about everything else that ruled this year (and some stuff that sucked). So get ready to see what I read, watched, and jammed to this year that’s worth your time.
Read moreBest and Worst Films of 2020
We already know that 2020 was the worst, but that doesn’t mean movies let me down! Well…at least not all of them. I watched 245 films this year and there were certainly some stinkers, but for the most part, 2020 delivered some very impressive indie films (my favorite), and I unearthed some older titles. That’s one thing this pandemic has been good for: making time for movies I’ve never had time for in the past. Let’s talk about my favorites, my least favorites, and some bonus runner-ups!
Read moreTV Recap: Mrs. Fletcher & The Flight Attendant Season 1
Since getting HBO Max, I’ve been trying to burn through series like it’s my job. I’m also trying to stay on the up and up with what’s popular right now, and especially if that something is a mystery series. But first I wanted to revisit an older miniseries that was quite popular itself when it first came out. Let’s see what I thought about Mrs. Fletcher and The Flight Attendant!
Read moreBook Review: The Cousins by Karen McManus
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.
Read moreHoliday 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.
