Reading Time: 2 minutes I thought to participate in the sweater weather tag in the hopes of sharing more about myself on here. Hope you like the tag! Favorite candle scent: I am not a fan of candles at all. Fire freaks me out. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? Tea all the way. What’s …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Today, a box of books appeared on our front step, which is probably the most exciting thing to happen to me (yet, anyway). I love reading because I get to meet different people and worlds, wrapped in beautiful words like truffles melting on my tongue. Never does it get old …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Another show with fantastic female characters is the BBC’s Musketeers. At first glance, one would assume the show would have weakly portrayed women because of its name. The series is focused on the relationships between the main four Musketeers. However, this adaptation does things differently through its portrayal of: Constance, Milady, and …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Paper Towns is one of my favorite stories. Like many of John Green’s works, Paper Towns involves a lot of complicated themes. In it, there is a discussion regarding analysis, imagining people complexly, and accepting the diversity of people. Wheels are Turning I find the beginning of Margo and Quentin’s …

Reading Time: 2 minutes One of my favorite series ever is Pushing Daisies, a show about a pie maker called Ned, who briefly raises people from the dead to solve their murders and bring them justice (and collect the reward, too. That can’t hurt, right?). This is his life until he has to unfold …
Reading Time: 2 minutes A Birder’s Guide to Everything is a small movie with many credits to its accomplishments of brilliance. Well acted, beautifully shot, and wondrously written, the film spans over 86 minutes full of awesomeness. I thoroughly enjoyed it, to put it bluntly, because I felt that the film was executed well, …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I didn’t realize the connection I had with Katniss and Peeta as they experienced grief outside of the arena and after the war. It has taken me a while to understand how PTSD works, how anxiety and depression truly function. But, now, I feel a closer tie to these characters. …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Having just revisited Middle Earth in movie form, it’d be fitting to talk about Tolkien’s work a bit on this blog. His work is valuable and offers great commentary about good and evil, temptation, and grace. The Ring The One Ring represents seduction to the evil of this world. Through …
