Holy cow! How to Get Away with Murder just delivered an insane mid-season, fall finale! It was packed with a lot of answers and a lot of questions. Let’s unpack.

The Weekend Keeps on Going Movie Review
I told you all there was more to come! In order to make up for my abysmal viewings in September, I felt I needed to step up my game this first weekend to make it count. So with that, I started off with and oldie, but a goodie, Disturbia.
Read moreBook Review: The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz
September is turning out to be a lot busier than I anticipated! All I’ve really managed to do is read, which is good, because fall TV is gearing up next week! With that, I got my hands on the latest Girl With the Dragon Tattoo novel by David Lagercrantz, who took over for Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Lived Twice.
Read moreBook Review: The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
I’m sure I said this a few posts back, but I feel like I’ve been reading like a fiend these past couple months, and it continues with The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware! I was a huge fan of her first novel, In a Dark, Dark Wood, so I’m always excited to see what she’s got next. Earlier this year I read her latest installment, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, and that sucker stuck with me. Needless to say, I was very surprised when a new novel dropped just a few months after finishing that up – but it was a happy surprise!
Read moreLock Every Door by Riley Sager – Book Review
I feel like I’ve been ripping through books recently, and I’m not mad about it! Especially when my friend let me borrow newly released Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. After his prior two novels, Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied, I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book! And let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Compared to his other two outings, this one sounded the least like the other two. Yes, it was told from a female’s perspective, but the tone and cadence reminded me more of Ruth Ware’s The Death of Mrs. Westaway.
Read moreMovie Review: Ready or Not
A few months back when I saw the trailer for Ready or Not, I thought to myself, “have I seen this before?” And with a little bit of thought, two movies actually came to mind, You’re Next and The Invitation. Both movies focus on a night of survival from attackers, but while those two films were their own thing, so was Ready or Not, and I was definitely ready to see it!
Read moreNetflix Movie Review: Secret Obsession
I should have known that with a name like Secret Obsession that this new Netflix film was going to be rough…like Lifetime level rough. And it was! The fact that it was also starring basically dormant actress, Brenda Song (of Disney fame), should have also tipped me off. My sister was dying to see it, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. It’s an hour and a half I’ll never get back, but sadly, I have seen worse.
Read moreBook Trilogy Review: If I Run by Terri Blackstock
In the past month, I’ve managed to get back into the swing of reading (by the pool anyways), and have finished Terri Blackstock’s If I Run trilogy. I bought the first novel for cheap at a bookstore, and I thought it was pretty intriguing and not a super taxing read, so I decided to continue on. Truthfully, when I looked up Terri Blackstock to see what the other novels were called, I was surprised to discover that she is a Christian author, mainly because faith was discussed so little throughout the first book.
Read moreBook Review: Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes
Over the weekend, I finally finished Hidden Bodies, the sequel to You, by Caroline Kepnes. I’d been putting off this book for a while mainly because I read the book very shortly after finishing the television series after it originally aired on Lifetime. I just felt like I wanted to take a breather before jumping back into the world of Joe. Based on how season one of the show ended verses how the book ended, I do wonder if the second season will follow Hidden Bodies plot at all.

Alliterations aside, it’s true. I think I watched the most random array of movies this weekend, and in my book, they were all winners. For wildly different reasons, of course.
