The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt
It’s the sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit and it’s just as amazing. I mean, look. He changes his name to Esteban! The kidlets are getting this one, too.

The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt
I don’t care how old you are, you’re going to love this. Honestly, one of the funniest children’s books I’ve ever read. It’s downright hilarious. And Oliver Jeffers’ illustrations make it just that much better. I can’t wait to give it to my niece and nephews.

Thank goodness—it would have been terrible for Nancy if she’d had to…

This is my first encounter with Vonnegut. Yes, it’s a classic. Yes, it’s satirical and anti-war. Yes, it’s very good. But holy Batman is it odd. I was not expecting Tralfamadorians. So it goes. No. 19 on my challenge. Not because I didn’t read it in high school, but because my teachers should have assigned it in…

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.
