The best Halloween Episodes/Shows on Disney+ 2021
This week I’m going to do something a little different from what I usually do. In honor of Halloween coming up next weekend, I’m going to be making a list of Halloween shows/episodes that I really enjoyed on the Disney+ streaming service recently (just an FYI: most of the episodes are animated, though I’m adding one live-action show); and since Halloween isn’t for a few days, I may add to this list as we get closer to Halloween. Also, a lot of these shows might be for young kids but I think, as I’ve stated in my bio, that people should hold on to the inner child within them (and…

The Candymakers
Author: Wendy Mass This week I’m going to review a book that I really enjoyed. The Candymakers was written back in 2010 and, while I can’t seem to find any data from book critics, it seems to be well-received by audiences (at least according to most of the Goodreads reviews and to the popular author, Judy Blume, who endorsed it).

Cinder
Author: Marissa Meyer The book that I’m reviewing this week is one that I think is pretty cool. Cinder is actually a retelling of the fairy tale Cinderella with a sci-fi twist.

When Cinder was released, it was a bestselling book and received positive reviews, most especially for its strong female characters. Meyer wrote three more books in this series, which is called The Lunar Chronicles. I really enjoyed reading this book, most especially since it reminded me of the fantasy/sci-fi shows I like to watch (like the Mandalorian);…

Turtles All the Way Down
Author: John Green Since I have been on a reading spree (perhaps even more so than usual due to the pandemic), I’m going to take a little break from reviewing movies and share some book reviews with you instead. This week I am going to review a book that I actually just finished last weekend. John Green is one of the most popular authors in the YA world, and his books have sold millions of copies and have been made into several movie/TV adaptions (sadly this book isn’t one of them quite yet). When it was announced that Turtles All The Way Down was going to be published, people were…
