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!

Olive 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!
Read moreBook Review: The Dry by Jane Harper
Based on how awesome the movie The Dry was that I watched a couple weeks ago, I knew I had to get my hands on the debut novel written by Jane Harper. Because the movie was so well reviewed, I just knew that the book would be equally as awesome if not better. It is quite rare for a film adaptation of a novel to do so well, and in this case, be so faithful.
Read moreBook Review: Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
It took me a little while, but I finally finished the second book in Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy, Shadow of Darkness. Now, similar to the second season of A Discovery of Witches, this book wasn’t really my favorite, but there were still parts to enjoy.
Read moreBook Review: Paradise Valley by C.J. Box
I’d say I’m moving through The Highway book series by C.J. Box rather quickly! A large part of that is attributed to my morbid curiosity of seeing how well the show, Big Sky, is relating to its source material. Well, I can say that by the end of the third installment, Paradise Valley, they really aren’t following the storyline. Now, I will say based off the second novel that the show totally deviated from, I didn’t really think that this novel would be followed either because the blurb made it sound like a direct continuation of those events.
Read moreAverage Movie Weekend
This is perhaps the least amount of films I’ve watched in a given weekend since the pandemic started. I must admit that makes me a little sad. Sad because I love movies, but I suppose not as sad because I am starting to (safely) get back to normal a little bit. Either way, the limited choices in films I made this weekend were mediocre at best, but for the most part enjoyable to watch. Sometimes you can’t ask for more then that.
Read moreBook Review: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Are you really at all surprised that so soon after watching the first two season of A Discovery of Witches that I would start reading the books? It really should come as no shock. Seeing as I burn through shows and movies as quick as I can, I figure if I like something enough I want to read the book before too many details escape my memory. That’s why as soon as I saw it was available I went to the closest library to rent the first book in Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy, A Discovery of Witches.
Read moreBook Review: Badlands by C.J. Box
I told you it wouldn’t be much time before I got my hands on C.J. Box’s second novel in the Cassie Dewell series, Badlands. After the first book, which the show Big Sky followed more closely than I anticipated, I was really curious to see if what’s happened in the second half of the season so far follows Box’s second novel just as closely.
