Risqué Reads is a new subscription box for fans of romances with some heat! I love seeing new romance novel subscriptions boxes because my roommate gets a ton of YA subscription boxes and I’m a little jealous. NB: This box was sent to me free of charge and I’m not being compensated for this review. The box comes with two books and a small piece of swag. The price of the monthly box is $10.99 … Continue reading Risqué Reads Subscription Box →

If you haven’t read Carrie’s review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I highly recommend doing so before reading this review, as I don’t plan on rehashing the plot so much. My quick and dirty summary is that a wizard (Newt) enters New York with a case full of fantastic beasts. Said beasts escape while an unknown force is terrorizing the city and a bad wizard is making the headlines. The beasts are … Continue reading Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them →
I truly can’t imagine a more biased review than this review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The only way this review could be more biased would be if J.K. Rowling took me out to lunch, signed all my books, called me her best friend, named a character after me, bought me a ticket to The Cursed Child, and paid me a million dollars. Let me count the ways in which I’m predisposed … Continue reading Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them →
This is a stressful weekend in the US, no matter how you cut it. The worry about “will the turkey be dry” or “my family likes to fight over who plays the hat in our annual game of Monopoly” or “I have to rely on public transit to get to dinner and/or get home” is real. Happily, Disney has a remedy for this, and the politely released it this weekend because it’s like they KNEW. Moana … Continue reading Movie Review: Moana →
Some people like to skip over Halloween and careen straight into Christmas, or so the mall would have me believe. But I like to extend Halloween as long as possible, if for no other reason than the fact that where I live Fall has just barely started. So yesterday I covered myself with a protective layer of cats (plus one dog) and watched the Netflix haunted house movie, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives … Continue reading Movie Review: I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in The House →
I subscribe to three literary subscription boxes: Lit Cube, Owlcrate, and Uppercase Box. Sometimes they all arrive on the same day and I’m all: The only person who loves subscription boxes more than me is Dewey, my cat, because boxes tissue paper vibrating cock rings Two of the subscription boxes I get feature YA books – Owlcrate and Uppercase Box. I’ve already reviewed Owlcrate so it’s Uppercase Box’s turn now. Uppercase Box is a monthly … Continue reading Uppercase Subscription Box →
Sarah: Watching Saving Face. On Amazon which means I’ll get distracted by the x-ray features where the screen tells me who is in each scene. Amanda: The x-ray features are so cool though! But yes, very distracting. Elyse: Okay, I have cider, I have pizza, let’s go! Carrie: “Nothing kills a romance faster than a mother’s approval” LOL Elyse: Oh the spaghetti straps of the early 2000’s. Actually the clothes and makeup look more like … Continue reading Smart Bitches Movie Matinee: Saving Face →

Book of the Month Club is a subscription book service that’s been around since 1926, but has recently been popping up all over my social media. At first I scoffed when an ad of theirs (on Facebook) claimed to deliver all of summer’s reading needs and had a picture of a woman with four books. Four. For a summer. Bitch, please. More investigation piqued my interest. At the first of every month BOTM reveals their … Continue reading Book of the Month Club →
