The Tastiest Tag I’ve Ever Done: The Waffle Book Tag

When the Hype Lies: Popular Movies I Did Not Like

Well, friends, here I go with another movie post on Wordy and Whimsical, this time, however, I brought you four movies I disliked. Not all of them were horrid, or even truly bad, but they certainly left a lot to be desired, and I'm mad the hype, and (in some cases) the positive reviews made…

{mini reviews} Books Outside of Our Comfort Zone

Hello friends! We've been struggling with today's Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) topic - we've both felt like (1) our comfort zones are pretty big, (2) because of that we don't really read lots of books that fall terribly outside of them. Because of this we twisted the topic a bit,…
