Recommended Movies/TV

The Handmaid's Tale

I know I'm late to the party on this one but I finally ditched cable and got the Hulu. I've only watched the first few episodes but this show is so terrifying and very, very frightening in these crazy times. Are the upcoming seasons this good? Will it break me? 



That's all for now. Read some books, watch some bad films and have a relaxing weekend, everyone!

      You do! They're excellent. I've only found a few "meh" but it wasn't due to the writing, the particular storyline didn't appeal to me.

Tackling the To Be Read List (1)

I was going to create a little feature where I'd have you vote on my next TBR book because I am still determined to read at least one of them this year but someone else beat me to it. This works perfectly for lazy me because now I can just sign up for Michelle @ Because Reading's meme instead! If you want to join all of the rules are here. I grabbed three random books from the top of the most embarrassing pile. So, what do you think I should read (or attempt to read) next? Let me know in the little poll down below. Also, please feel free to let me know if these are not worth reading! Remember this is the year of the DNF (at least for me!). Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow 3.76 Rating @ Goodreads Jill Kismet. Dealer in Dark Things. Spiritual Exterminator. Demon Slayer. Not everyone can take on the things that go bump in the night. Not everyone tries. But Jill Kismet is not just anyone.
