Well, this might be a first. I was under the impression that the 2018 movie, Midnight Sun, was based off of a book given the fact that I’ve seen this book around since I saw the movie. Sometimes that happens where I don’t realize a film or show is based off of a book until after the fact. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be picking up a book that is based off of a film?! Also, please let me know if I’m wrong, but from what I can tell, the film version of this story is actually based off of a 2006 Japanese film called A Song to the Sun. Crazy!

Mediocre Movie Weekend
This time I don’t mean that the quantity was mediocre, but the quality sure was! A lot of stinkers, and then I finally threw in a couple tried and true films to turn it around a little bit.
Read moreSummer of Dramatic Television
Just because it’s summertime doesn’t mean there’s nothing on TV! It probably also helps that the pandemic severely delayed some shows. For instance, I get new Animal Kingdom and Roswell, New Mexico because of it! Not that I’m all that happy that things got delayed, but I’m glad everyone stayed safe, employed, and managed to produce some good television at the end of it all. Let’s get into it then, shall we?
Read moreBook Review: Geography Club by Brent Hartinger
Several years ago I watched a movie called Geography Club, so imagine my surprise when I learned it was based off of a book! That’s right, and even more interesting, is that this novel is the first of four featuring the same characters written by Bren Hartinger! I definitely have some more reading to do!
Read moreBook Review: You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes
Truthfully, I wasn’t sure there was going to be a third novel in the You series by Caroline Kepnes, but she surprised me by dropping You Love Me earlier this summer! So let’s delved into the psyche of one very creepy, Joe Goldberg.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Animal Kingdom
New season, old drawings. But you heard me right! Animal Kingdom is back after about a year and a half (thanks for nothing, pandemic), and I couldn’t be more excited! In honor of its return, here are drawings of my two favorite characters, and power couple, Deran and Adrian. I can only hope Adrian comes back after that gut-wrenching break up at the end of the fourth season. That ship isn’t done sailing yet!
Read more4th of July Movie Weekend
Now, I wouldn’t say any of these movies were patriotic, but the holiday weekend did provide me with more time to watch movies! So for that, I am thankful – ‘Merica!
Read moreOlive Kitteridge
My mom is the one who originally brought this miniseries to my attention, and after way too many years of living life HBO-less, I’ve finally made the viewing of Olive Kitteridge a priority in my life. Honestly, it was worth the wait!
Read moreLove, Victor Season 2 Review
I know almost two weeks have already passed since the second season of Love, Victor dropped on Hulu June, 11, but I promise I watched all of it the weekend it came out! Watching all ten episodes over the course of three days was certainly not the plan, but it was just so darn good I couldn’t help myself! There’s love, betrayal, and a serious cliffhanger, so let’s get into it!
Read moreTribeca Film Festival (At Home) – Pt 2
Another week virtually participating in the Tribeca Film Festival! I know I said this last week, but I’ll reiterate how pumped I am that I can participate in this festival. The pandemic may be good for almost nothing, but it did somehow afford me this opportunity. Especially now that things are slowly beginning to morph back into normalcy. Well, enough of that – let’s get to the rest of those movies!
