Hello Readers and Followers. While my fellow reviewer has been uploading reviews for you all I've been over on our tumblr feed fielding a plethora of questions and "asks". It has come to my attention that there are a lot, and I mean A LOT of differing viewpoints on Sarah J. Maas's works. I would not normally use this review blog to answer these as I feel they take away from the works themselves and we do attempt to avoid spoilers whenever possible on here. However; the enormous amount of both Pro-Maas and Anti-Maas asks that I've received have prompted me to write this editorial. Now I do not speak for everyone nor would I presume to when I say that literature above all else should make you think. I will not be taking a stand on either side of this debate because in all fairness both sides have some good arguments that deserve to be heard. Rather this editorial is my attempt to show why I will continue to read S.J. Maas's work and review it on this blog. As yo...

We do a lot of books on here, but I decided to add something a little different. Since my kids are on a two hour delay this morning I decided now was the perfect time to shed some light on some shows that ended with just one season and with major cliffhangers. It's a freaking tragedy in some cases and in no particular order here we go. You can find this awesome show on Netflix, it is a teenage show but like all CW shows it is done well, with some minor issues. Very compelling and just 13 episodes. Yes, I just tortured myself and re-watched this the other week. It is a romance between a human girl and alien boy with major background plots going on. It deals with interspecies romances, treatment of aliens, and so much more! This is an older one and a remake. The original show aired for much longer, but I don't care about the original. I am all about the remake and this one was awesome! I couldn't stop watching it and back in 1996 when it aired I didn't know it was...
