Life of a Reader
To Be Continued . . . Here we are folks! If you read my full review of Interstellar (2014) HERE, then you know I had some extra thoughts about the movie that had too many spoilers to go into the review. I won’t waste your time: let’s get into it. There are several things I need to explain first before I really […]
Music in the Air I don’t know about you, but I have a soundtrack for just about every mood, season, emotion, etc. I’ve got so many playlists on my YouTube I sometimes worry they might take away my ability to save any more music! Since spring is officially here (and already on its way out the door in southwest Kansas), […]
The Inspiration Continues I’ve been feeling inspired this week. Don’t ask me why, but I have suddenly had an expansion (and a large one at that) of my ideas for blog posts. My brain feels packed tight, so much so I’m not sure what to unpack first! Today I’m starting another new “segment” or “series” on the blog titled Live and […]
I’m Back Jack! Even after posting my March posting schedule update, I have failed miserably to have any semblance of order and organization here on the blog. I want to stop that buck here . . . hopefully! 😉 I’m making a calendar for myself that will have my blog schedule noted on it so that I can stop forgetting […]
I Thought It Would Be a Good Book . . . I haven’t read too many books that I regret . . . I don’t think. At least, in comparison to the entire list of books I’ve read, there are very few that I wouldn’t consider reading again. There are some books I’ve never finished reading. Those also are fairly […]
One Story, Two Soundtracks If pure nostalgia is possible to capture in a single soundtrack, Little Women did it in 1994. It’s arguably (in my mind) one of the best pairings between plot and music. But I’m getting ahead of myself. In 2019, Greta Gerwig attempted (and I do mean attempted) to re-do the classic story of a family in the […]
Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer Published in 2006 216 pages First in Enola Holmes Mystery Series Content: * * * * (4.9) There is not much wrong here! Possibly a few mild British cuss words. A few lightly suggestive comments that can easily be missed by anyone under the age of 16. All-in-all, it […]
No sentimental or moving quote from this book. This book is awful, disturbing, and ultimately depressing. Read the full review and see my take on how this thriller seems to prove the depravity of man. See you on the other side! – Megan You Talked Me Into It I did not want to read this book. In fact, […]
Memento (2000) Starring: Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano Director: Christopher Nolan Rating: R for heavy language, violence, and some sexual references Yes . . . Another Christopher Nolan In case anyone was wondering, I’m on Nolan #5 (for me personally). I’ve now watched Dunkirk, Interstellar, The Prestige, Inception, and Memento. I haven’t disliked any of these. In fact, you could say I’m a […]
