It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey are collectively known as The Bellinger Sisters series. Today I am going to be giving you my spoiler-free rundown of this romantic comedy/contemporary romance series. Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers and a few things in between, this series could have everything a...
Knives Out, a surprise 2019 hit from director Rian Johnson had a massive and incredibly A-List cast including Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, the late Christopher Plummer, Ana de Armas and of course Chris Evans (it couldn’t be included in Chris Evans season without him).

A novel about acceptance, with a number of themes that can be interpreted in multiple ways, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is a surprise. A book with LGBTQ characters in a fantasy world based...
An episode in which I make something smutty VERY PG! Believe it or not, all romances are not created equal. At least, that is what I am discovering. Of course, a lot of it has to do with personal opinion and that’s why, this week, I am taking a look at a historical romance based...
