  • Where is the Love (2016 remix) by The Black Eyed Peas

    [Chorus: will.i.am] People killin’ people dyin’ Children hurtin’, I hear them cryin’ Can you practice what you preachin’? Would you turn the other cheek again? Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin’ on Can we all just get along? Father, Father, Father, help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got…

  • Friction by Sandra Brown

    I initially picked this up thinking I’d slip it in under No.22 on my challenge, but since it’s probably the least explicit Sandra Brown book I’ve read (there are only like, three steamy scenes in 416 pages), I’m going to hold off until I find a book worthy of the Erotica genre. In other news, Friction is the perfect book for soaking in…

  • The Danish Girl

    Eddie Redmayne is wonderful in this film. Incredibly well cast, he does a fantastic job portraying Lili Elbe, one of the first people to undergo gender reassignment surgery in the 1920s. I believed him as Einar (the male body in which Lili was born), and, even more so, I believed him as Lili. And I believed him…

  • The 33

    I hate to say it, because this truly was/is an incredible story—and heart wrenching to boot—but honestly, the first half hour and the last fifteen minutes are all you really need to watch. And though I wish it were not the case, here are a few things that you could do to pass about an hour in…

  • The Love that Split the World by Emily Henry

    I bought this book solely for the cover and I’m glad I did—Emily Henry really is a gifted writer. An imaginative time-bending teen romance, The Love the Split the World is jam packed with quick wit and sarcasm—which, of course, I love—and it kept me captivated enough to keep reading in the park well into twilight, until my straining…

  • Quoted: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

    I had just come to accept that my life would be ordinary when extraordinary things began to happen. (Is this not the greatest opening line ever?)

  • If I Had A Heart by Fever Ray

    I’ve been binging Vikings—which means I’ve listened to this song about a million times—and I still can’t get enough.    If I Had A Heart This will never end ’cause I want more More, give me more, give me more This will never end ’cause I want more More, give me more, give me more If…

  • Neighbours 2

    This. Is. Gold. ABSOLUTE GOLD. And by that I mean that it’s raunchy and vulgar and ridiculous and totally inappropriate (it’s not rated R for nothing), and absolutely hilarious. What’s more, the men are vapid and objectified and the women are smart, unapologetic, and crafty as hell! So, ring a ding ding. Also, I’m going to…

  • Changeless by Gail Carriger

    It took me a lot longer to finish this second book in the Parasol Protectorate series than it did the first, and I’m not entirely sure why it didn’t hold my attention as well (vacation, friend visits, work, summer?), but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The same cast of oddballs and eccentrics returned with a few extra…
