Hey everyone, Pride Month officially starts on Friday! This is pretty exciting because I have a whole host of posts that I am excited to share with you. To say goodbye to my mini-May-Pride, I would like to offer a recommendation of a web series that is pretty awesome. It is a mash up of …
I recently listened to the audiobook for Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman. I have been a bit obsessed with this story since I first heard about it. When I got the option to listen to it, I jumped at the chance. I also immediately requested the movie from the library, so I …
Hey folks, Welcome back to another week of recommendations. This week is going to be different from most because I am not recommending anything.

Williamson's The Pagan & The Jew: The Jewish Rebellion against the Roman Empire. I …
