    Thrillers and Mysteries you should be watching—Season 2 Ep. 9, November 2025

    In our Reality TV Rant, I need to just start calling it a rant because I really have nothing nice to say, I talk about RHOSLC, DWTS, and Ghosting—my new favorite reality tv show that only streams in Canada, but you can find it on YouTube. As promised: The Trailer And: An Episode you have to watch to see what I mean. And head to Instagram to see the clip I posted so you can see what I’m talking about. In our Book-to-TV television recap we discuss Long Bright River, streaming on Prime Video, and The Woman in Cabin 10, streaming on Netflix. Then in Regular TV we briefly discuss my disdain for Stranger Things once again. We talk Eras Tour doc and A Very Jonas Christmas. And then I give a brief little House update. Stay tuned for Gift Guides coming the next two weeks. If you want to see last year’s guides you can look here: Gift Guide #1 Gift Guide #2 Thanks so much for the privilege of your time, talk soon!

Then we talk book to screen adaptations, The Life List, My Oxford Year, and the big finish, The Summer I Turned Pretty! Thanks so much for the privilege of your time, talk soon!

    Hi! Back from our month off! Here to tell you about way too much TV that I watched over the last two months. Old Book, Old Show: I Know What You Did Last Summer. Oh, do you? Shocking. Did read, won’t be watching and I tell you why. Our old shows are two absolute gems that I don’t think I’ll ever tire of. New Book, New Show The newest book was full of buzz and hype and it was all cap! I’m joking, half of it was cap, the other half was pretty decent! The new shows are here in a hoard because I’m a sucker for new TV. One you’ll surely love and one you’ll surely hate, and two mids. (Am I 13?) BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen) N/A lol Final Surprise So much reality TV you’ll hardly be able to stand it. Bachelor in Paradis, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season Two, The SLOMW Reunion, and more! See you in a few days for the Young Reader’s Bite. It’s Contemporary Fiction month, perfect kids summer reads and some fun new books that’ll keep them busy for at least twenty consecutive minutes!

    The Crumbs—Season 2 Ep. 5, May 2025

    She’s quick, she’s snappy, she’s out of time. lol. It’s been a bizzee month over here so this is coming out late, obviously, but at least we’re here together now. Here’s what we discuss in each segment. Old Book, Old Show: Wait, you mean to tell me I had more to say about that stupid book, Dark Matter? In three minutes I compare Blake Crouch to a disturbed second grader. Our old show this month is Big Bang Theory and some musings on why you know everything about the show but have never watched it all the way through chronologically. New Book, New Show May the odds be ever in our favor as we discuss my brief thoughts on Sunrise on the Reaping (pretend to be shocked that I love it). THREE new shows! I can’t help myself. A new Shonda Rhimes show, a scary doc, and the Mormon Wives are back, baby! With literal new babies. And a whole lot of other crap. BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen) The trailer for We Were Liars was released. Does anyone care? Final Surprise Five, yes, FIVE new boo-to-screen adaptations you didn’t know about because I didn’t know about them. And I know everything. See you in about 28 hours for our Young Reader’s Bite—we’re doing nonfiction (is it even possible??) so bring your real life, true as tea, factual and fun stories!

    The Crumbs—Season 2 Ep. 4, April 2025

    Season 2, Episode 4 is here! Here’s what we discuss in each segment. Old Book, Old Show: Dark Matter thoughts and thoughts on why so much sci-fi is written by men in first person POV with a MMC. It sure is a thinker. I tried to watch the OC again, again. New Book, New Show I have a dark epiphany about the book Mickey 7 live on the air. Brace yourself to be disturbed. The Electric State was good! Would watch again, maybe. BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen) The Pride and Prejudice news swept the nation this week! Some were un-phased. (It was me, I was un-phased.) Final Surprise My thoughts on the two biggest TV finales of the year, both occurring within the first quarter of the year so it looks like its downhill from here. See you in about a week for our Young Reader’s Bite—we’re doing sci-fi so bring your science, your research, and your unrealistic devices and discoveries!
