We're out of March, which means that Chris Evans Season is over. So, this week I am talking about 2010's Easy A, starring Emma Stone and Stanley Tucci (love Stanley Tucci). I am also talking about a brand new (to me) author, Keri Arthur and her 2017 book, Blood Kissed. There's also a journey into a bit of my past that is rather painful.
