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.

Book Review: Zero Days by Ruth Ware
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.

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!
Read moreBook Review: The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
New Riley Sager!! I’d be so happy if this guy manages to pump out a new book every year, mainly because they’ve all been thoroughly enjoyable. And honestly, I’m a little surprised I’m saying that about his newest release, The House Across the Lake, but you’ll just have to keep reading to find out why. And on that note, just know there are some SPOILERS ahead.
Read moreBook Review: All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews
Well I must say, the film adaptation of Miriam Toews’ All My Puny Sorrows, was actually quite faithful to the source material. Even after reading this book though, I still have no clue how someone read it and thought it should be adapted. Not that it’s not good! It’s just extremely glum.
Read moreBook Review: Landline by Rainbow Rowell
Given that I’ve really enjoyed all of the other books I’ve read by Rainbow Rowell, I’m surprised it took me this long to read Landline! I would consider this an adult novel compared to her Simon Snow trilogy and Fangirl, but it was just as great and easy of a read!
