Today of all days it is important for people to have entertainment as outlets. I am not talking about the “entertainment” that is the news nowadays. I am talking about the entertainment of movies, books, television shows, music and radio.  These pieces of entertainment give us an outlet for an hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, however long we need to feel safe and secure. I found myself watching the Red Sox last night and already this week I have watched more Red Sox than I did all of last year. When every other news station is blaring out one unconfirmed lead after another you become immune and numb to it all. You need a release, something to take you to another world for a little while, while you decompress and return to normalcy.  After the Red Sox won I immediately went to another piece of entertainment – my book of the moment, Masquerade part of the Blue Blood series by Melissa de la Cruz.  It isn’t the most intelligent and thought provoking books in the world but it is a supernatural fantasy book, a perfect place for me to go for an hour when the real world is just much too handle.  When you are engrossed in any of these mediums, you forget about everything except the world and lives you are watching or reading.  That is what happened to me last night and I couldn’t have been happier.  I went to bed feeling refreshed and calm despite what was going on in my favorite city.
But the town will survive. We are resilient and we will fight until we have nothing left.  As our sports teams and people have been saying you “messed” with the wrong city.  We will come together, we will fight together and we will stand together until this is over and even after.  They tried to take away our city and our innocence. What they didn’t realize is that they just made it stronger.

Don't Lose the Magic: Shadowhunters Season 1

By
The Shadowhunter world is powerful. Not because of magic, steles, demons, or potions but of the emotions tied to every single character.  Cassandra Clare wielded such heartening characters in her books that bringing the world to the big and little screen seemed almost too much.  When the movie came out, it didn’t live up to the hype of many dedicated fans. Now with the show having gone through its 1st season (and the 2nd season on the horizon) the question is the same: can the producers of the show keep Clare’s world in tact and please everyone?  That is a resounding no. When the news first broke that The Mortal Instrument books series would be turned into a television show I was optimistic.  The feature film had a lot of buildup and hype. Unfortunately it did not live up to the majority’s expectations and fell flat when it was released.  I enjoyed it from a movie and entertainment viewpoint but when comparing it to the book it left something to be desired...

How Many is Too Many Books?

By
215.  The number of books I have read (which is probably more but I can’t remember every book I read during my school years).  385.  The number I have on my to-read list as of March 22 2016.  With both those numbers, how many books is too many books? Can someone have too many books on their shelf that they are currently reading, waiting to read, or read? Is that even a question? I have asked myself this question every time someone asks me what I am reading. I answer with the current book I have in my hand or on my Nook and usually follow up with how many I have on my to-read list to give people a picture of how diverse my reading interests are. I have everything from crime novels to young adult fantasy to historical fiction on my to-read list. Reading for me started when I was young, way before I found the magic that came out of the light box as my niece used to call it. Reading would take me away from my world and inject me into a place where an...
