Welcome to 2023, friends! It's time for writing, reading, and doing reviews, so here's my first of the year.

Podcast Review: Death By Unknown Event by Pamela Adlon
This is so wild - every time I thought I'd gotten to the worst part, it took another turn. I listen to a lot of podcasts - in all kinds of genres. Some of my favorites are No Such Thing As A Fish, Twenty Thousand Hertz, Lore, Vanished, and Serial - amongst others. And since... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Murder On The Orient Express by Agatha Christie
The very definition of a murder mystery! I'm sure if you looked up mystery in the dictionary, you'd find Agatha Christie there, if not this exact novel as an example. I grew up watching David Suchet's version of Poirot and though I don't even remember which ones I've seen, I remember loving them. It was... Continue Reading →

As an... Continue Reading →
