    Ep 19 - The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

    Welcome back for another episode my lovelies! This week we return to my first love, a book discussion! We’re talking about The 7 (½) Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, a murder mystery type book that took the internet by storm.  In this novel, our protagonist wakes up in a body and situation he can’t remember, but all he knows is Evelyn Hardcastle is to be murdered tonight unless he can solve who’s behind it. But the thing is, every time our protagonist wakes up, he’s a different guest in attendance at this Blackheath Manor. Can our guy figure out this mystery and break out of this murder loop? Tune in to find out!  Intro and outro music provided by Joseph McDade (www.josephmcdade.com).

If you couldn’t tell, there’s a LOT going on and I'm passionate about it! Loads of spoilers, so beware. As always, thank you for the love and support, and enjoy!

    Ep 17 - Attack on Titan Season 4 does TLOU2 Better than TLOU2

    Girl, what is you talking about?? Yes guys, this episode is the definition of "when world's collide"! In this episode, we are diving deep into why I think Attack on Titan does the story that The Last of Us Part 2 attempted to tell a thousand times better, and why it is the superior story. Didn't think these two things were related? Well, think again! And sorry guys, if you haven't finished both of these games/anime, you'll have to sit this one out.  Music Provided by Joseph McDade (www.josephmcdade.com) Follow me on socials!
