Red Rising is a book that is, in theory, right up my alley. It has everything I typically love. Action. Heavy sci-fi elements. A strong main character. Compelling story. A solid premise.

I like to read popular novels (and watch popular tv shows and movies) because I want to see what the hype is all about. In some cases, it works out (for ex

I love movies. Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved the magic that made film so enthralling. As I grew older, that hasn't changed. My tastes are varied and wide, running the gamut from sci-fi to comedies to horror and beyond. When I first started doing this blog, way back in the 2012-2013 days, I had a slightly different format.
