  • Kingsman: The Secret Service

    Any movie with Sam Jackson (in my mind we’re buds and I’m allowed to call him that), Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Mark Strong, a dude sporting a jawline this sharp, and a chick with SWORDS for legs is A-OK in my books.

  • Transformers: Age of Extinction

    A few thoughts: – Stanley Tucci! – I miss Shia. – Product placement ahoy. – Mark Wahlberg is hilarious as an over-protective dad. – Mr. Boyfriend Driver Man’s accent is ridiculously sexy. – WAIT! Are those transforming dinosaurs? TRUCK YES they are! – Could this be any longer?

  • Still Alice

    I’m not at all surprised that Julianne Moore won an Oscar for this movie. She was amazing. I’m still scared of Alzheimer’s.

  • I have a new favourite thing

    So I was working (I swear) and I came across an amazing thing on Twitter: Sarah Wendell (@SmartBitches) is live tweeting her first read of Grey by E.L. James. I promise, it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed it would be. Exhibits A through K There’s more. Wayyyyyy more. And it’s just so good. And when you get your fill…

  • One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak

    Not at all what I had expected, but if I had a nickel for every time I said that… (inside joke for those smarties who have read the book). Very clever—entertaining with a few teaching moments thrown in. ps. click on the cover to see the amazing book trailer starring Mindy Kaling. No. 1 on…

  • Do You Think This Is Strange? by Aaron Cully Drake

    Originally posted on Consumed by Ink: In order for me to tell you I have nothing to say, I have to say it, which means I have something to say. Quite simply, I loved this book. Do You Think This Is Strange? is being compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night…

  • Book Challenge update

    Since it’s very nearly the middle of the year, I thought I’d update ya’ll (and remind myself) about my Book Challenge for 2015. These are the books that I have yet to read. I’m looking for suggestions for numbers 9, 13, 16, 21, and 25. 1. A book you own but haven’t read 5. A book…
