Alright marshmallows! After almost an entire year, I finally buckled down to watch the fourth season of Veronica Mars, and I was not disappointed! I mean, I read a lot of spoilers when it first came out because I knew I wasn’t going to watch it right away and I saw an abundance of outrage across the internet. I get why everyone was upset, but truthfully, I wasn’t.

Book Review: One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
I picked another young adult novel to follow up Fangirl, but this was a solid choice, I promise you. While I moved back a little age-wise, One of Us is Lying follows a rag-tag group of high-schoolers navigating through a thought-provoking thriller.

I guess I don’t mean “mega” as in blockbusters, I just mean I watched six movies in three days. That would be a mega achievement for almost anyone, myself included. I will say though, that most of these were pretty mediocre, but that’s just the way it is sometimes. I won’t bore you with the details, so here’s my fast-take below:
Read moreHannibal Season 2
I have just been devouring Hannibal episodes like it’s my job (it’s not) and I couldn’t be more happy with how the story is progressing! In a much shorter amount of time, I have finished the second season and I am fully anticipating the third and final season and what that will bring. Because a lot of stuff went down in this batch of thirteen episodes. SO. MUCH. BETRAYAL.
Read moreBook Review: Shirley by Susan Scarf Merrell
Did I just choose another book that got adapted into a film? You bet. Is it going to be creepy? It better be! Does it star Elisabeth Moss? Of course. I respect horror on film and in writing, and yes, I’ve read a few Shirley Jackson works in my time, but I was drawn to this fictional novel, Shirley, because it was a more subtle thriller delivered from the perspective of an outsider looking into the Hyman/Jackson home.
Read moreQuibi – The Stranger, Cont.
Okay, Quibi. I stand corrected. You did not totally disappoint me because I was fooled into thinking The Stranger was all but over after seven measly episodes, when in fact there were another six that aired! That’s right. Thirteen total episodes to tell the story. Where did we leave off?
Read moreMonday Night TV Round-up
As one show ends, another soldiers on. The show ending its season of course, is Prodigal Son. Will it get picked up for another? That remains to be seen. I will say, it was an impressive end, given how shaky I’ve felt about the second half of the season. Let’s dig in to both Roswell, New Mexico and Prodigal Son.
Read moreHannibal Season 1
For the last several years I’ve had the show Hannibal on my radar. For whatever reason, I never really heard of or watched this show during its three season run on NBC, and that makes me a little sad. 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!
Read moreBook Review: The Wife Between Us
I love thrillers, so I was glad to be reading a new one that more recently came out and already has the rights picked up by Steven Spielberg for a screen adaptation. In my mind, those are really good indicators of an excellent novel. And I was right! The Wife Between Us, co-written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen had so many great twists and turns that I tore right through this in a week!

Prodigal Son is back! And Roswell, New Mexico just keeps getting crazier. With so many shows ending or on hiatus, I’ve come to really enjoy my Monday night television.
