I recently mentioned the Mariana Trench at work, and was surprised to see that quite a few people had no idea what I was talking about. For anyone who isn’t familiar, The Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean, is the absolute deepest part of the ocean that we know of. Its deepest point is…
Book Review: The Haunted by Danielle Vega
Oh, hello, spoopy babies. It’s time for another spoopy book review. This time we are talking about The Haunted, the latest release from one of my favorite YA horror authors, Ms. Danielle Vega/Rollins (probably best known for being the author of The Merciless series). This one, like the The Merciless and Survive the Night, is…
Spooky Saturday: The Dyatlov Pass Incident
Imagine: you set out for a hiking trip with eight of your friends from school and an instructor. But a couple days into the trip, you’re not feeling well. You try to stick it out and maybe take it easy for a little while, but you’re not feeling any better. So you head back, leaving…

So naturally, I jumped right on…
Book Review: The Long Walk by Stephen King
Stephen King can be a bit of a polarizing author. I know some people who hate him and find him completely overrated. And I know other people who love every single thing he puts out, even if it’s pretty openly a brush fire. I, however, find myself firmly in the middle of the road when…
Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved With Under 2000 Ratings on Goodreads
So when I saw the Top Ten Tuesday topic of “Books I Loved With Fewer Than 2000 Ratings on Goodreads”, I knew I probably had at least a few favorites with a low number of ratings. Somehow, I always find myself really loving things that aren’t quite as popular, and also not always understanding the…

Bird Box: Book vs. Movie & Mini Movie Review
I talk about the biggest differences between Bird Box the movie and Bird Box the book, as well as a mini review of the movie & discussion of which one I think was done better. (As if you can’t guess.)
