Book Review: Panic by Lauren Oliver

I was so taken by Lauren Oliver’s book, The Vanishing Girls, that I decided to give her debut novel, Panic, a go! I’ll be interested to see what her other novels are like, because I could definitely tell this was a first go at publishing a novel. Especially compared to the almost perfection that was The Vanishing Girls. This book wasn’t the best thing I ever read, but I enjoyed how Oliver wrote the relationships between all of the characters.

The Boys – Season 2, Episodes 1-3

The Boys are back and I am so excited to get back into the lives of these degenerates! Luckily, I had a much shorter wait than most of the fans who watched the first season when it was initially released, but that doesn’t mean I was any less anxious for new content! And even though the first three episodes are all that’s at our disposal, it was plenty to keep our minds occupied until this coming Friday.

Packed Tight Movie Weekend

In less than 72 hours, I’ve managed to squeeze five movies into my life without feeling like I’ve neglected any other area of my life. That is quite a feat! I also managed to accomplish this after cleaning up a bunch of glass off of my kitchen floor (courtesy of my cats)! As in the past few of these, rather than bore you with the details, I give my quick-take and a general summary of the films’ events in the hopes of helping you make some choices in your viewing leisure.

Abandon Ship! Shows

You know, I watch a bunch of shows, and while 98% of them are satisfying (because I do some research), there are still just a few that fall through the cracks. It’s not necessarily that they are bad, but they just don’t hold my interest, which I’m sure is the case for many people. Maybe it’s because I have all this extra time not spent at the movie theater this year, but I’ve found a few shows that literally pained me to watch, so I just decided to…stop.
