Todays topic: The horror genre in film! I loooove horror. I love creepy, dark stories. BUT…I am very picky. I do not scare easily at all, and I find 95% of the horror out there comedic rather than scary. I also don’t have a weak stomach. The gorier, the better! [edit: I also don’t get nightmares. Ever. The only movie that ever gave me a (kind of) nightmare is The Notebook, because it reminded me of my past and I dreamt […]
Hello loverlies! As you can see, ASR is sporting a shiny new design! I quite liked the teal design, but I have some MAJOR changes happening this month for my 2 year blogiversary and I want to ease into them slowly so I don’t confuse my readers. There is a point to the squiggly line, I promise ;) To celebrate (and help spread the word), I’ve decided to host a giveaway! For my regular readers, please take a moment to […]

I tend to read the first book and never continue! It’s not necessarily that I don’t want to read […]
This is my replacement for IMM. Nothing exciting to report about the Brandon Sanderson signing – I went after work so I missed the whole panel. Just went to get a couple books signed, and the line was HUGE! We had to get number tickets and I was #56 in line. We were there for an hour and a half just waiting to get books signed, it was ridiculous! I haven’t even read anything of his, that’s the sad part. […]
