**SPOILER FREE*** As I mentioned in this past week’s Heartbeat Weekly, we finally got internet. On Saturday I was perusing Netflix and stumbled on the Stranger Things, which looked intriguing. I watched the intro of the first episode, and I was hooked! I stopped it and waited for Aaron to get home so that we could watch it together. And you know what? We binge watched THE WHOLE DAMN THING. IN ONE NIGHT. Seriously, we were up until 3 am […]

Before I picked this book up, I was in a massive reading slump. (No seriously, I’d picked up like 5 different books in succession with no luck, I didn’t finish any of them.)

The Keeper I didn’t really get much out of this one, since it was stuff we already knew about, but it was kinda cool to get a bit more backstory on Scarlet’s grandma and her time spent hiding Selene’s body. Mostly it just gave us insight into how Cinder was named. Not much else I can say about it! Cinders. Embers. Ashes. Michelle hoped that whatever strength had allowed the child to survive the fire all those years ago was a […]
I recently had a Harry Potter marathon with my boyfriend in which we watched one movie every night for 8 days, and even though I’ve seen the movies several times, I still can’t help but think about all of the amazing little things from the book that were left out. Let’s be real here. ALL the major differences pissed me off, and I’m sure everyone who read the books can relate. It’s something that all Harry Potter fans will always […]
