Valentine's Day: Favorite Fictional Couples!

Happy Valentine's Day: Favorite Fictional Couples! Let's celebrate the holiday of LOVE with my favorite fictional couples!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I know that everyone has different opinions and feelings about the holiday alllll about love. I know I hated it when I was single, pretended I was super above it in my old relationship because that’s what my ex thought and now, I just sort of use it as an excuse to have a fun date with my husband. This V-Day is our first one celebrating as a married couple and I’m…

Short N'Sweet Book Review: Well Traveled by Jen Deluca ~~~ #jendeluca #wellmetseries #welltraveled #review #NOSPOILERS

Welcome to the Short N’ Sweet Book Review! For the ten years that I’ve been reviewing books on this blog, I’ve written long, wordy reviews that, let’s be honest, not a lot of people are probably reading. I’ve recently  decided to shorten those reviews and get straight to the point – what is this book about, who wrote it, where you can find and a short review on what I loved, liked and maybe…

Books, Movies and TV Shows I'm Looking Forward to in 2023! What are YOU looking forward to this year?

The best part of a brand new year is knowing all the new things that are THAT much closer to you. All those movies and tv shows and books that said COMING 2023 felt so far away but now it’s 2023 and they’re almost here! There are lots of great things coming this year and here are some of the ones I’m most looking forward to! I’m sure there are SO many more that I’m missing so if you notice one…

Sara's Goals for 2023

Sara’s Goals for 2023

It’s that time of year again – the time to make brand new goals. I know that people are often sort of pessimistic about New Years resolutions or goals but I like them. I like the idea of a brand new year. I like the idea of a clean slate. I know that there’s no difference really between December 31st 2022 and January 1st 2023 but I like the IDEA of it and I love making goals and I love making…

Sara's Favorite Reads of 2022!

Sara’s Favorite Reads of 2022!

All right, let’s be real guys – I didn’t read much in 2022, not when compared to other years. In previous years, I’ve reached an end of year count as high as 200 books in one year. This year? Well, not so much. I ended 2022 with 51 books under my belt and a good chunk of those were re-reads. There was a LOT on my mind in 2022 – my wedding, transferring at my job and transitioning to a full time…

I've Been Watching One Tree Hill for the First Time...

I’ve Been Watching One Tree Hill for the First Time…

And guys, I’m kind of obsessed. One Tree Hill is like most teen dramas of the time, telling the chronicles of several teenagers in Tree Hill, North Carolina, mostly Lucas and Nathan Scott, half brothers who have basically hated each other their entire lives. Here’s the thing – One Tree Hill was one of the many dramatic, soap opera-esque tv show that came out during my formative teen years and I…

Holiday Romance Movies Aren't Good...But That's Okay!

It’s that time of years, guys. Christmas! Hanukkah! Kwanzaa! Winter Solstice! ALL THE GOOD THINGS! And while everyone is gearing up for the end of the year and whatever that might entail for you, everyone is also fighting that one little devil that seems to appear every winter when the days get shorter and the nights get colder – SAD. Oh yeah. Seasonal affective disorder. I live in California,…

Overturning Roe Vs Wade - Nerd Girl Is Ready to Rage

This blog has always been about nerd things, mostly books, but this blog has been around for ten years and I’ve never hesitated to share my feelings about the things going on in our world. As much as I love to escape real life and disappear into fictional and fantasy worlds, I still always have my feet firmly planted in reality and I am always here to fight for justice and to fight against…

Love, Victor Season Three - Thoughts and Reactions

Love, Victor Season Three – Thoughts and Reactions

If you didn’t know this, I’m a HUGE Becky Albertalli fan and have loved the Creekwood universe pretty much since the moment that it existed and I devoured Simon Vs the Homo Sapien Agenda. While I’m still sad that we never got an adaptation of Leah on the Offbeat with Leah and Abby because that book is my jam and absolutely perfection, I’ve still been super happy that the world of Creekwood has…

Ms Marvel Episode Three – Thoughts and Reactions

We have reached the halfway point of Ms. Marvel season one and a lot has happened in episode three to really open up the story and tell us what to expect, what could happen next and where exactly we are going with Kamala’s story and I know I keep saying it, but I’m super enjoying it, guys. I’ve already been a huge Ms. Marvel fan for ages. I finally got a new shirt this week – took forever to get…

I'm Stuck in An Endless Loop of Re-Watching and Re-Reading!

Recently, I’ve been watching Criminal Minds for the first time. I’m a huge true crime kick – I’ve always been fascinated by it and read a lot of true crime novels growing up since it was something my mom read and young adult novels weren’t totally a thing for me growing up. I’ve been pretty much exclusively listening to True Crime Obsessed, Once Upon a Crime and Crime Junkie. I knew Criminal…

Obi Wan Kenobi Episode Four – Review and Reactions!

I just watched episode four of Obi Wan Kenobi. It is fresh in my mind and I have thoughts but not many. This one might be a little shorter than my previous recaps. As always, there will DEFINITELY be spoilers for the episode. My book reviews? Spoiler free. My TV and movie reviews? NOT spoiler free. You’ve been warned (more…)

IT’S FINALLY HERE! After what feels like about a million years, Ms Marvel is finally here and I’m so beyond excited!
