An Introduction

I am a book nerd. Have been since forever. So I decided to take my vast knowledge of excellent reading material, and make some of it known to the world. Thus, here I am. At this point in time, I plan to post reviews/recommendations/general fangirl rants about books. I shall try to avoid spoilers. Maybe people will actually use this. Maybe it'll just be me keeping track of all the books I read. No matter. If you're reading this, please enjoy.

CPH Internship Week #5: Of Missions and Musicals

Hello again! This was a fantastic week of CPH, though it was a very tiring one! I felt like I was doing a little bit of everything my job could entail, and I loved it. Monday was probably the slowest day of the week. I spent most of my time on Monday at my desk, working on various documents and dealing with the more logistical side of Miraculous Mission . The rest of the week held a lot of ups and downs! On Tuesday we began shooting for our Song Action Videos at a park in the suburbs of St. Louis. My fellow intern Adele and I got to come into work late because we would have to stay late for the video shoot. We were praying all day that we wouldn't be rained out. Instead, we drove to the park in torrential rain through construction! All of the kids for the videos still showed up and we got two of the songs done between storms. At about six, the deluge began again, soaking us all, and leading to another stressful drive through the rain. I was very thankful for dry clothes and a war...

It's Not the Best Christmas Ever

Every time I turn on the radio or the TV, all the ads scream variations on the same thing: " Make this the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! " We all simply MUST have that new piece of tech or toy for the kids or perfectly quirky little object to put on a shelf. Otherwise, how could we possibly have the " BEST CHRISTMAS EVER "? But here's the deal, people. Come on, lean in close. Closer! I'll whisper it in your ear. The best Christmas ever already happened . Whaaaat? I know, it's crazy. Surely having a bigger tree and more lights and more eggnog can make this year  the best Christmas ever? But alas. There is no way that we could ever, ever top the real, true Best Christmas Ever. Could it have been the year that you got that bike you really wanted as a kid? Or the year your family vacation went perfectly? What about last year, when everyone liked the gifts you got them? Nope. The Best Christmas Ever, the one we can never top, took place over 2000 years ago. A car...

Sarcasm in Space

Hello, everyone, from a post-Cursed Child world! I have been reading a lot lately, but it's mostly been rereads of Harry Potter and then my first reading of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. (I didn't do a review of it because I'm not a spoiler-y monster.) But now I'm back in the real world, so I took a trip to space in the form of The Martian by Andy Weir. I loved it! On humanity's third manned trip to Mars, Mark Watney is the crew's botanist and fix-it man. All is going smoothly, until an emergency evacuation leads to disaster- Mark is accidentally left on Mars while the rest of the crew rockets back to Earth. Completely alone, he is thrown into a battle for survival on the barren Red Planet. With his botanical background, mechanical know-how, and razor wit, Mark becomes the hero the human race never expected. His every move is captured by NASA, sent to Earth, and analyzed by every news station. He becomes an intergalactic MacGyver on a survival mission. An...
