Unlike October, I have totally been slacking this month! Last week I didn’t watch a single film and this week I only got three in before my internet crapped out on me. A disappointing turn of events, but there is still time (and a holiday weekend) to catch up! Also, a fun fact about this trio of movies – they were all only an hour and a half! I love a good movie that can get their point across without dragging it past the two hour mark. It’s just not necessary sometimes and I think more filmmakers need to take note.

AFI Film Festival Continued
On the last day of the AFI Film Festival, I was able to squeeze in two more movies that I was itching to see. Both were strange in their own ways, but enjoyably unique.
Read moreBook Review: Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland
A couple days ago I finished reading the debut young adult novel Our Chemical Hearts written by Krystal Sutherland. Having watched the film adaptation a few weeks ago and being rather disappointed with how cringe-worthy it was, you’d think I’d be nervous about reading the source material, but I wasn’t! In fact, more than half way through the film both my friend and I agreed that this book was probably infinitely better, and it was!
Read moreBook Review: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
As you all know, I’ve fully embraced my nerd status, so why would I not want to read a cute romance novel related to a massive fan convention in Las Vegas?! And it was just that: cute. Annabeth Albert delivered all the frills and nerdiness in her road-trip romance novel, Conventionally Yours.
Read moreBook Review: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Look, if you read the title of this article and claim you have never heard of this book before, then I declare that you are a liar. Liar! Yes, Twilight was released 15 years ago, and it was a cultural phenomenon. Compounded by the movie series adaptation that was released several years later, and you could call this one of the most successful literary franchises that has ever existed. And for good reason! This young adult novel is so addictive from start to finish.

I had a three and a half day weekend to cram in as many movies as I could, and I totally think I succeeded! It was a broad mix of genres (and languages), so I’m sure you’ll connect with something I saw.

Aside from the two thrillers I saw in theaters this weekend, I also managed to squeeze in two other movies from my streaming services. Let’s review!
Read moreBook & Movie Review: Dream Boy
I’m reaching way back in time for this one, but it was a nice find on my part. I came across Dream Boy earlier this week, and decided to give the shorter novel a read before delving into the film. Here it goes!
Read moreBook Review: Find Me by André Aciman
While it’s been a relatively short time since I’ve read André Aciman’s novel Call Me By Your Name, I couldn’t get my hands on its sequel, Find Me, fast enough! Written in as beautiful a prose as the initial outing from twelve years ago, this read was smooth as butter.
