TV Thursdays #1: Stranger Things

Hey Everyone!!

So any Stranger Things fans??!!  Of course there are!! Who isn't right??!! 😉

Well I'm super excited, because I'm going to Universal Studios today for Halloween Horror Nights!  I am a bit nervous, because I don't like being scared, especially in horror film situations, but I am very excited because Stranger Things has a maze this year, so I'm going to be rocking my Stranger Things t-shirt, with a butterbeer in my hand, and walking around trying not to pee my pants!

So we were pretty late to the Stranger Things game, because we started the show early this past summer.  But man, did we get hooked!!!  We have of course finished it now, in fact I'm already jonesing for the next season...and season three JUST CAME OUT!!!

But while we wait for Season 4 to come out, my husband and I have started collecting Stranger Things Pop Vinyls!  Any Funko fans??  They are sooooo adorable!!!!  My Harry Potter collection is growing too, but that is for another day, and another post!

It's become a bit of an obsession, but has been really fun to collect!

Here's what our collection looks like so far:



Those are only Stranger Things Pops!  Like I said, it's become an obsession 😁.

So if you're in the Southern California area, and you are a Stranger Things fan, then remember Halloween Horror Nights is happening right now at Universal Studios!

Wish me luck tonight!

And remember you can Stream Stranger Things on Netflix now!!  If you do not have Netflix, then Target carries Seasons 1 & 2 for pretty cheap there!  I picked up Season 1 on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack for $10, and Season 2 is I believe $16.99?  Under $20 for sure!  Season 3 isn't out yet though!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
