If you haven’t heard yet (you should’ve, though—I never shut up about this book), Internment by Samira Ahmed comes out in exactly a month! We had the pleasure of hearing Samira introduce her novel in person, but we want the world to hear and see her words, so we filmed it just for you. Bonus:…

Is anything more exciting than learning your favorite book has gotten a movie deal? Sure, there might be some trepidation, an anxiety that the filmmakers get it *just right* but whenever I hear about a book I love coming to the screen, I can’t help but get a little giddy! So here is a list…

There is an art and, dare I say, majesty to a truly well put together vine compilation, and now we step into the ring with our meager attempts to amuse. THUSLY I present—The Cruel Prince as Vines.  WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

Sometimes I like to put off a “couldn’t care less about love” vibe, but truthfully I’m a sap at heart.

YOU DESERVE A BREAK. All that working and studying you’ve been doing is really tiring you out. Unfortunately, not all of us can escape our daily lives right away (or escape this polar vortex UGH). So I’m glad that all I really need is a great book to relax, see new places, and take time…

If your family is anything like mine, you know there is nothing better for family movie night than a good Cold War spy story. Explosions, car chases, gadgets! But, while the movies are well and good, the real stories of spies during the Cold War are just as compelling if not more so. Sure, real…
