After Riley Sager’s abysmal The House Across the Lake, I kind of have trust issues with him, though his last book and the latest, Middle of the Night, have him squarely back in the same camp as before. Actually, I’d like to think that Sager was able to get just a little bit of the supernatural shoe-horned in here. A compromise I can live with.

Dead Boy Detectives Season 1 Review
Though the name Dead Boys Detectives has a super corny ring to it, that was exactly what brought my attention to this show.
Read moreTrue Detective: Night Country Review
You know, I’ve owned the first season of True Detective since it was released and I’ve still never watched the whole thing. I know it’s the best season out there, and it was basically at the very beginning of the reintroduction of the “golden age of television,” but I just haven’t mustered the desire to finish it yet. And for whatever reason, two bad seasons later I decided to tune in for Night Country.
Read moreApples Never Fall – Miniseries Review
Back in the day I was real hot and heavy with Liane Moriarty’s books. I’ve since fallen off, which is why I never read the book that this miniseries is based off of.

Read moreBook Review: Some Shall Break by Ellie Marney

Read moreThe Night Logan Woke Up
Ahhh! I have been searching high and low for this Xavier Dolan series, The Night Logan Woke Up, after watching the first two episodes during Sundance this past January. Finally, the French Canadian series found its US home on Netflix.
Read moreBook 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!

Although I don’t know whether or not Rian Johnson’s new series, Poker Face, was intended to be more than one season, I can tell you now that I’m pleased it’s getting another.

It was another week in a different state this month, so that means I didn’t have an excess of time to dedicate to movies, but there were still a couple that I made count.
