I watched new movies! Yay! And at the rate this year is turning out, I may be watching several more from my home, which I can definitely work with. A wide range of films this weekend, so prepare for randomness.

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness – Season Primere
As I just wrote about the book, the second season of The Alienist, is finally gracing our televisions after almost two years. This season, based off of Caleb Carr’s novel, is being called The Alienist: The Angel of Darkness, and is to follow the events detailed in that book. Look, after a little over a year I was getting nervous that this second season was never going to happen, but I understand that with the level of detail in the show it is necessary to have an appropriate amount of time to complete. Still, I am nervous that we may not get another season after this. Too soon to tell, I suppose.
Read morePacked Tight Movie Weekend
In less than 72 hours, I’ve managed to squeeze five movies into my life without feeling like I’ve neglected any other area of my life. That is quite a feat! I also managed to accomplish this after cleaning up a bunch of glass off of my kitchen floor (courtesy of my cats)! As in the past few of these, rather than bore you with the details, I give my quick-take and a general summary of the films’ events in the hopes of helping you make some choices in your viewing leisure.

I’ve done better and I’ve done worse in terms of quantity and quality, but I’ll consider this weekend’s movie prospects a success regardless. Your high level recap awaits!
Read moreBook Review: Never Have I Ever by Joshilyn Jackson
Yes, the title Never Have I Ever makes me think of that dumb game, but that’s the point. That, coupled with a fairly demure cover, had me seriously underestimating the twisted nature of this book! It was a serious thriller with lots of sharp turns that I never truly expected.

Coming at you a few days removed from the weekend, but still relevant, here is a brief recap of the somewhat mediocre films I watched this weekend.
Read moreBook Review: Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus
I know the title sounds reminiscent of Pretty Little Liars, and I totally agree. It doesn’t help that Two Can Keep a Secret is a young adult novel, but I promise you, this mystery novel by Karen McManus is highly entertaining. Also, unlike the other two books I’ve reviewed from McManus, this one is totally unrelated to that world.
Read moreBook Review: One of Us is Next by Karen McManus
Lucky for me, Karen McManus is awesome, and published the sequel to One of Us is Lying back in January, so that means I just finished reading One of Us is Next! It was as entertaining as the first installment, and it makes me just want to read everything this woman puts out. The text is easy to read, and her characters are described in such a vivid way that I almost feel bonded to all of them.
Read moreMemorial Movie Weekend
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.
Read moreBook Review: I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
I mean, straight off the bat the title, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, stood out to me, so it’s no surprise that I got my hands on Iain Reid’s debut novel. Again, title alone told me that this was going to be a thriller, and it definitely was!
