So…didja watch it? What did you think? Tell me everything! Amanda: I’m putting my thoughts in a spoiler, just in case you may have started it and not finished it. Or if you haven’t read the book yet, as most of my issues came from the differences between the movie and the book. Okay, I’ve done a lot of complaining! I think if you’re going into this movie without prior knowledge of the book’s events, … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club! →
Bridgerton season 3 is here! My plan was to leisurely watch one episode a week over the month between the first episodes dropping and the June 13 arrival of the final four episodes. Instead, I devoured all the available episodes in one night and have been soothing myself with Bridgerton thirst memes while I wait for the finale. Anyone else counting down the days? In the meantime, I’ve been rewatching the series, yet again. I … Continue reading Bridgerton, Season 3 →
Welcome to Wednesday Links! A Toast update! We installed a cat cam in the spare room, just to see how much exploring Toast was doing. That boy loves gazing out the window and looking at himself in the mirror. This weekend, we have plans to open up the second floor a little bit (which is just a bathroom, master bed, and spare room) and put a gate up at the top of the stairs. Linus … Continue reading Links: Graphic Novels, Dungeons and Dragons, & More →

A recent Rec League on tortured love spawned a SBTB discussion about Asian dramas, which often have lots of pining in their romantic arcs. Not all of these are romances, but Shana and I really want to geek out about Asian dramas and hear about your recommendations too! We’ve done a few guest reviews and suggestion posts previously, but we’d love some newer options! Most, if not all of these, are available through Viki to watch. … Continue reading Stuff You Should Be Watching: Asian Dramas →
Hey! It’s Wednesday Links! I am back in New England. I know a few of you wanted to know how traveling was. Well, my flight down was delayed because a man wanted to curse out the plane for wearing masks. I should also note that the plane was going to Orlando and was mostly full of families with young children. If you follow me on social media, you may have seen the video I took. … Continue reading Links: Special Editions, Shrek, & More →
It is deeply rare that all four of the humans who reside in my home enjoy the same piece of entertainment. I think the last time this happened, we were watching Good Omens. Thunder Force is nothing like Good Omens except that all four of us had a terrific time watching it, and I was as immensely pleased with myself for selecting it for our Friday night pizza and a movie. It is ideal “watch … Continue reading Netflix Rec: Thunder Force →
To quote Kate, one of the hosts of What Would Danbury Do?, a podcast examining the Bridgerton world, the marketing for the Netflix Bridgerton show has been very subtle. It’s not as if it has it’s own hashtag icon, or that publications like Architectural Digest of all places covered it. Wait, no, it was everywhere and so many of you asked us about it. We were watching? Oh, yes. Over the holiday break we’ve been … Continue reading Bridgerton →

I don’t even know what to title these things anymore. There is no theme to this collection of stuff. It’s just…stuff. Tarot cards, fun videos, virtual book events.
