  • It's About Getting Real in Relationships: Alice Osman's "Heartstopper Vol. 3"

    There's nothing wrong with not saying "I love you" two days into your relationship. But not saying "I love you" while in Paris, France with your first love?! We've got to draw the line somewhere. Fortunately, there's a lot of cafes and museums around to soften the blow of life's harsh truths. Nick's Parisian dad is hard to reach; notice I don't even mention him in the episode, and Charlie's a ball of nerves about his relationship. Hopefully, the Mona Lisa is worth the trouble. Enjoy the art crawl in today's newest episode.

  • It's About A Nightmare: Neil Gaiman's "The Annotated Sandman Vol. 1"

    I can't tell you how much I've been wanting to read about Dream, Desire, and Death. I've heard so much about them, and I've even met Death a couple times. In front of a car, food lodged in my throat, turkey leg by way of Disney World. You know how it goes. But a Dream unmet isn't always a bad thing; you could be avoiding disappointment in the long run. But not here if you tune in to tonight's episode. Sweet dreams!

  • It's About Childhood Romance: Alice Osman's "Heartstopper Vol. 1"

    Nick and Charlie are living out my life without much of the anger or ferocity that comes with age. Take me back to a nonexistent time where I've met a love of my life and endure personal demons to see a greater worth in myself; or maybe just when Auntie Anne's cinnamon pretzel bites filled that hole inside. Tune in for some warm, gushy feelings, and an arguably good accent, in today's episode.

  • It's About Getting What You Want on Halloween: Vampire Maman's "A Man Should Have What He Wants"

    Happy Halloween! It's a special time of year when the moon is nigh-visible in the night sky, the omens are beckoning, and your spirit yearns to come alive. Man becomes aware that time has slipped by, and in our desperation, we fix our attention without caution. Craig flew too close to the belfry, and death is awaiting its newest tenant. Cackle with me at his misfortune in this new, macabre episode! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  • It's About Being Killed or Not Being Killed: Charlaine Harris' "Dead Ever After"

    We've finally made it, everybody! Sookie's reached the ending of her story. It only took several kidnappings, multiple deaths with knives, a couple betrayals, and one fine man after the other showing up to marry Sookie. It sucks that we can't end a love story without a little jail time, but life's funny that way. One prison for another. I kid, but Sookie does need that bail money, and an exorcist. Tune in to the final episode of our southern vampire mystery saga!

  • It's About A Little Resurrection on the Side: Charlaine Harris' "Deadlocked"

    Tell me something: after you've successfully stopped your stalker, do you go to work the next day? We know Sookie did. It's all work and never sit down process those traumas because the next one shows up. Family's staying over and betrayal hangs heavy in the air as Sookie figures out what do with all her wealth. You'll just have to tune in and see what happens!

  • It's About Killing or Being Killed: Charlaine Harris' "Dead Reckoning"

    Know that in my heart, I should be a good person. But whoever said that that was going to keep me alive? I figure Sookie must be thinking something along those lines. Because some would say plotting a murder is bad. Some would say avenging yours and your friend's lives by bashing your stalker's head in was unnecessary. Just wait until you have hitmen showing up to your job on a shift where you aren't getting any tips. Gotta find satisfaction somewhere. Tune in to the newest episode of our mysterious saga.
