There has been a wealth of great books released this year already! I'm not sure if I've been more selective, but I definitely feel blessed to have lived in the worlds these authors created for us! Here are some of my favorite reads so far in 2019. FYI, they are mostly (but not all) 2019 releases.... Continue Reading →
Welp, I'm not happy and I'm not okay. So, I thought I would post a blog with sad gifs and memes just because I can. Say it like it is: For those who have trouble expressing their emotions: A job you hate can cause depression and apathy. When you need... Continue Reading →
This is when I really started liking the Marvel movies. Thor is my favorite Avenger. This was directed by Kenneth Branagh, and it is a superior movie.

Are you like me and started tons of trilogies, but never finished them? I'm talking about the ones you didn't decide to abandon, but REALLY intend to finish. You even read the second one! It's even been completed. But, you just haven't gotten around to reading that finale yet. Here are some of mine. ... Continue Reading →
So I may just be a grumpy, pessimistic old lady, but I can't stand Hallmark movies. I know several people who adore them, so I am not sure if it's me with the unpopular view, or if there are others like me out there. Here is a list of why I don't like them. 1.... Continue Reading →
