Remember when we thought 2020 was the worst of it? Wow, we were ever wrong! Reading slumps, writing slumps, life slumps… Not really sure what 2022 will bring us but hopefully it’s better than this past year. *Knocks on wood.* Like many people, I turned to all things Marvel to …
How is it November already? That being said, I’m going to keep this short and sweet since we’re all super busy writing for #NaNoWriMo, right? Well, we’re trying. We love non-fiction and have written blogs about our favourite memoirs and such. But I wanted to give you a list of …
Finally! It’s Autumn! There will be afghans, sweaters, knitting, hot beverages, and reading. With the breeze getting crisper everyday, I feel life in my lungs again. I ended up reading 3.5 of the 5 books on my summer TBR list and, considering the heat waves killing my brain, I take …
All this time in quarantine got me thinking… About ways to be creative, and a nagging idea for a short film. Yes, by now you all know I went to film school so it’s about time I made something that wasn’t a silent, black and white, 16 mm actual celluloid …

Can you believe it’s basically summer? I almost feel excited this year but I think that’s just because we’ve been inside for nearly 15 months. In reality, you know Gen and I are vampires and hate summer and the sun. BUT that doesn’t mean we don’t get excited for summer …
Are film adaptations a genre? They should be. And whatever they are, I love them. Yes, I’m aware how controversial that is in the bookish world but I’m coming from the film school world. It started with a class called “Film and Literature.” We weren’t always reading the exact book …
It’s happening. Another birthday in lockdown and this one is a big one. I’m not always excited about my birthday but this one was going to be special. I was going to go to New York City and celebrate my 40th birthday in style. I, however, will be celebrating at …
Can you believe we’ve been in quarantine for a year? Ugh. Thankfully we have Instagram and the wonderful Bookstagram community to fill the hours with awesome bookish content.
