Book Review: The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

I’ve finally taken my own advice again and read a book AFTER I’ve watched the movie it’s based on. Although in this instance, I don’t believe it really would have mattered.

Fandoms, Interviews, and Zoom Panels During Quarantine

Look, COVID-19 has prevented a lot of cool things from taking place this year, and I imagine it will continue to steam-roll the rest of 2020.

Sad in the way that I was bummed I never experienced it live, and really bummed that it only lasted three seasons. Even though I’ve only just finished the first season’s thirteen episodes, they’ve been really amazing!
