we're all mad here
This month just felt like constant chaos. I was tired more than I was not, and I know a lot of that had to do with NaNoWriMo, but I’m so looking forward to Christmas when I can just take a week off and not do anything. I didn’t get to read as much as I’d…

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON! I am never not going to post this gif during Halloween. I remember when this first happened, and I will love it until the end of my days. I read and watched a lot of spooky things this month, and though I am definitely done reading those kinds of books, I had…

Okay, obviously, today’s post is going to discuss a lot of hella scary movies, so if that kind of stuff freaks you out, don’t proceed! As in my discussion post on why found film horror works so well, I’m not going to be posting any jump scare gifs (no gifs at all, actually), but I…

This was supposed to be a post breaking down the entire Paranormal Activity franchise, and I was truly looking forward to rewatching the first few and watching the last few for the first time. I loved the first one so damn much when it came out even though it absolutely terrified me, and while I…

He is, for me, the father of all things spooky, and the reason that I started to look into more nontraditional…

I want to say that I am holy hell shocked that we’re here at the second quarterly check-in of goals, but this year is basically stuck in the space time continuum and doing whatever the hell it wants, so this honestly makes sense. It’s September? What??? ICYMI, I like to do two quarterly check-ins with…

What a damn good month! It’s been a hellishly long time since I had this many five and four star reads, and I’m just so stoked. I’m also 0% surprised that nearly all of these were fantasy. I read Fellowship of the Ring this month, and it just made me crave fantasy so much that…

Previously on An Adventure in Tolkien: Look, I did not ask to fall in love with Beowulf EVEN MORE, but here we are. Wow, it has been a Minute. I reviewed Beowulf back in June, and, before that, both Tolkien’s biography & his letters, but I haven’t read a book in the main legendarium since…
