Kate: Update: I have still not seen anything nominated this year. Except Black Panther. Erica: I have yet to see movies from last year’s awards season. And the year before that… Kate: Oh, same. I even *almost* didn’t want to watch this. Almost. Erica: I almost didn’t. We got a puppy Saturday. She’s currently attired … More Gothic Fairy Barbies (SAG Awards 2019)
Yep, still only seeing comic book movies in theaters. Oscar nominees? Nah. Fun chick flicks? Seldom if ever. DC or Marvel stories I had never heard of until five years ago? Fandango, here I come! Ok, but I had an extra-special reason for seeing Aquaman: Jason. Momoa. It’s been eight long years of mourning the beloved … More Aquaman
So I joined a book club, kind of. We’ve only read two books and I don’t know if we’ll ever read a third, but the first one was pretty interesting and weird. Sing, Unburied, Sing is a jarring story about a very poor family in the south. The main character, Jojo, is only 13 but trying … More Sing, Unburied, Sing

This (mostly true) story follows author Michael Lewis from college to interviews to working at a famous … More Liar’s Poker
As someone who has a great deal of trouble making any kind of decision, from the dumbest little sh!t like what to wear to work to the biggest sh!t like, oh, say, having kids, I had really high hopes for this book. I was seriously disappointed. Thinking In Bets is supposed to be all about how … More Thinking In Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All the Facts
Needing a break between a few serious/nonfiction/very long books, I picked up what I thought would be a fun chick novel by Lauren Weisberger, but I just could not bring myself to care about anything going on in this story. Charlotte “Charlie” Silver is a young tennis star trying to make a name for herself … More The Singles Game
Kate: I am only going to know the TV show aspect of this year’s Golden Globes; I really do not see any non-comic book movies anymore. Erica: It’s okay; TV is the new movies. Kate: True. But that doesn’t mean I can’t judge everyone on the red carpet from the comfort of my own couch … More If It’s Not Based On A Comic Book I Didn’t See It (Golden Globes 2019)
Not only have I been slacking with this blog and reviewing movies/books/shows, I have also been slacking with actually reading books. I swear I don’t even know myself anymore. I know I’ve said this before, but I promised myself I would make a more serious effort to read books outside my comfort zone/books that actually … More Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
