  • EXPeriencing Netflix’s Daredevil

    Image via Newsarama. I have four words for you regarding Netflix’s Daredevil series: Go watch it. Now. Seriously, it is so. good. My husband and I binge-watched the whole season (as you do with Netflix shows) a few weeks ago, and just wow. I am hooked. First, let me share two quick disclaimers: 1.) I love the Marvel cinematic

  • Running to the Nerdist Podcast

    Cover image via Nerdist. (I have discovered a serious downside to posting once per week on the weekend. When I only have time to devote to one predetermined post, I can miss a lot of opportunities to talk about other things. For instance: new trailers like Jurassic World and Star Wars (“Chewie, we’re home” = chills) that are

  • EXPeriencing ‘The Mistress’ by Tiffany Reisz

    First things first, when an erotica novel makes you cry (multiple times) because of All The Feels, you know you’ve got a good book on your hands.

  • Becoming a Star Wars Fan

    When I started this post, it was meant to be a review of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But by the time I had finished my intro and even begun talking about the series, I was at nearly 400 words and the post about the show itself was only going to get

  • EXPeriencing Book Madness 2015

    The amount of anguish some sports fans feel when filling out their March Madness brackets is comparable to the anguish I feel when filling out my Out of Print Book Madness bracket. It truly makes a difference when you care about the subject matter of your bracket. Do I care if North Carolina State beats LSU

  • Traversing “Monument Valley”

    I almost never spend money on apps. Case in point, I’ve owned an iPhone since 2011, and I’ve only spent money on two apps: a Couch to 5K running trainer app and “Monument Valley.” I had never heard of “Monument Valley” until my sister texted me a screen cap of the intro screen (above) saying, “YOU
