I just really, really like the way Rainbow Rowell writes. I think I have officially read every novel she’s written, and I just find comfort in her prose. Heck, even the 1999 setting of Attachments filled me with a happy nostalgia rather than annoyance.

Book Review: Mister Magic by Kiersten White
I have to say, sometimes compelling cover art is all it takes. Well, that and the two other books I was looking for at my local library weren’t on the shelves. Thus, Kiersten White’s latest novel, Mister Magic, with it’s hot pink sleeve and rainbow static television was tempting enough to pick up an read the blurb. And then that blurb sounded creepy as hell, so I was all in!
Read moreBupkis -Season 1 Review
I’ve been really slacking on the Peacock shows while I still have the platform for a good deal, but I did finally get around to watching Pete Davidson’s show, Bupkis. Thankfully, his comedy gig got postponed, because I would not have had this show’s first season done in time.
Read moreBook Review: For You and Only You by Caroline Kepnes
I…think I’m kind of over the whole You universe brought to us by Caroline Kepnes. It’s in that weird stage now where the show is a season ahead and not at all what the latest novel, For You and Only You, was about. Granted, I have no clue what Kepnes’ involvement with the show is and I realize that most adaptations don’t follow the source material closely at all, but still. It’s odd.

I still don’t know if anything will beat In a Dark, Dark Wood for me, but Ruth Ware has continued to release strong novels ever since her debut in 2015. That’s no exception for her latest, Day Zero.
Read moreBook Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
There’s been talk over the last year or so about the screen adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s insanely popular novel Red, White & Royal Blue, and I just couldn’t remember for the life of me if I read this or not. The premise sounded familiar, but with the now promise of a film hitting Amazon Prime in mid-August I decided now was the best time to find out if I had.

I know I’m still not totally caught up with Grady Hendrix’s entire bibliography, but I jumped at the chance to get his latest, How to Sell a Haunted House, at my local library the second I could. Coming as no surprise, it did not disappoint.
Read moreBook Review: Below the Line by Howard Michael Gould
I suppose it comes as no surprise that I’ve already read the next novel in Howard Michael Gould’s Charlie Waldo series. Below the Line offered up a similar mix of intricate crime in sunny LA as its predecessor.
Read moreThe Boys – Season 3 Review
I am severely disappointed in myself with how long it took me to watch the third season of The Boys. Even though it still ended up being a stellar season (as expected), for some reason I just wasn’t as hype to watch it as the other two. I think a part of the reason is that I should have watched the episodes as they aired, instead of waiting for them all to watch at once. While fun, the show is intense.
Read moreBook Review: White Noise by Don DeLillo
So look, back almost a year ago to the day I managed to land some work as a background actor in the upcoming film adaptation of this Don DeLillo novel of the same name, White Noise. Other than the basic premise that was described in the casting call, I didn’t know anything about this story. Thus, after filming, I decided to give this novel a try. And just in the nick of time I’ve finished it! The final film product is due to hit theaters (and Netflix) at the end of December!
