This book was not on my to-read list until it was chosen for a book club I’m in, but I voted for it over a few others because it sounded equally intriguing and different from my usual. Sadly, I did not even come close to finishing it in time to discuss with said book club–I’m … More Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
I used to devour books with teen summer romances and supernatural star-crossed lovers; now I love reading about messy adult relationships and complicated family dynamics. Go figure! (But, let’s be honest: I still enjoy the first two categories from time to time.) With a notably more serious tone than many other Keyes books I’ve enjoyed, … More Grown Ups (+ Mean Girls, kind of)
So not only did I know the Oscars were happening well ahead of time, but I *actually* watched a nominated film the night before the awards and I’ve already seen two of the biggest ones, so I felt a lot more confident going into this show than I have in years/than I have this whole … More The Conclusion of Barbenheimer (Oscars 2024)
It is now standard operating procedure for me to have no idea an award show was supposed to happen until it has already started airing–such was the case with the SAG Awards on Saturday night. Someday I’ll get back to my old self (I think? I know the Oscars are on March 10…right?), but for … More The Barbenheimer Of It All Continues
It took me a l o o o o o o n g g g g g time to finish this book / get back into Reading Mode in 2024, mostly because I was only able to read one chapter (two max) before bed each night, mostly because that is literally the only time I … More Promise Me
I’m trying something new here: a slide show ^ of red carpet photos instead of all photos in one (seemingly) endless scroll–let me know what you (all five of you reading this) think! I learned that the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards broadcast was on approximately 32 minutes after it started. Yes, that’s right, something … More Barbie Girls in a Barbenheimer / Succession / Bear World (Golden Globes 2024)
I ended 2022 with such immense pride in how many books I read in one year, but I ended 2023 with kind of the opposite feeling. Don’t get me wrong, 20 books is nothing to sneeze at, it’s just not what I’d hoped for for myself–damn kids got in the way, and when they weren’t … More The Jolliest Bunch: Unhinged Holiday Stories
If you’ve known me for more than five minutes, you know that I absolutely love the following things: Bravo, wine, pasta, Italy, and Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday by far–Thanksgiving and Easter are relatively pointless, IMO; Christmas is full of stress (did I get everyone enough presents?! Have I done enough festive, Instagram-able activities?!) … More Halloween: 35 Years of Amazing/Terrible Costumes
