Tik Tok Book Recommendations For You

When I got hired at TGON I had every intention of just being on the book side of our site. I ended up branching out and trying new things, as one does, and got away from books for a while but I missed those articles. A couple of years ago I started doing a book club with my sister-in-law and it made me realize how much I missed reading. Last year I really started to get into Kindle Unlimited and…

Celebrating 20 Years Of Mean Girls

It has officially been 20 years since Mean Girls 2004 released and it has become a cultural phenomenon beyond its wildest dreams.

It’s hard to believe that something as timeless as Mean Girls (2004) is already 20 years old this year.
