Review: 'Stillwater Dusk' by L.G. Castillo
I have read several books by L.G. Castillo, so when she sent me Stillwater Dusk, I was really excited to dig in. Because of school, I hadn’t had a chance to do a lot of reading the last year, but knowing how good the previous Castillo books were, I had to take some time off from my studies to sink into the newest creation of one of my must-read authors.

'Infinity War' Review
Probably one of the most anticipated movies of the year, Marvel’s Infinity War smashed box office records as people rushed out to catch the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). If you haven’t seen any of the Marvel films, then you have A LOT of catching up to do: ten year's worth. With the huge success of Black Panther earlier in the year, moviegoers were pumped up to see so many of the Marvel characters come together in Infinity War.

'A Quiet Place' Review
I went into A Quiet Place with a bit of reluctance. While the previews for the movie looked interesting, it also seemed like the movie would be slow. Also, I knew there would be a lot of reading involved with subtitles which I am personally not a fan of in movies (I love to read, but not in a movie).

'Rampage' Review
((This review may contain minor spoilers. While I try not to reveal more than the previews, I do not always succeed.)) It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of the Rock, so when I saw it was time for his next movie, Rampage, to come out, I was ready to go.

'Annihilation' Review
Very little was known about Annihilation when previews started to be shown before other movies. Even going into the theater to see it, I was not fully sure what the movie was about. However, there were several things in the preview that had me curious, so I decided to give it a try.

Smile, It's Not So Bad
When I look around, something I almost constantly see is straight faces often turned down and looking at a phone. While being engaged in social media and our virtual world isn't horrible, it does seem to cause a disconnect to the world around us. It is also keeping our faces turned down in a more stern and depressed looking disposition.

Leave Well Enough Alone
Winter has been long and cold, and not just with the weather. No, this year there was a lot of emotional turmoil going on in my life with the relationships I have had. It is through these difficult times which we find ourselves growing or backsliding.

Tomorrow Never Comes
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” It is one of the most famous quotes in the world, yet it is one we so easily forget. Humans are masters of excuses and procrastination. It can become so easy to sit back and say, “Oh, I can just get to it tomorrow.” However, when you fall into that habit, it is easy for “tomorrow” to never come.
