The world is a better place because Bryan Cranston is not a cop
•
When I think of memoir, “a little sucky” comes to mind. But this is not the case for Bryan Cranston’s, A Life in Parts. Not only was I in tears in the first chapter, I ran the gamete of emotions throughout the book. Educational and entertaining. I’ll admit, I listened to this book on…

A Higher Loyalty by James Comey (book review)
•
A higher loyalty, a HIGHER loyalty, a higher LOYALTY… I’ve thought of the title of this book a lot over the weeks.

Bitcoin Guide for Beginners (Blog and Book Review)
•
Bitcoin Guide for Beginners is just that, a great, quick book that lays down the basics of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. The title is a bit misleading, however; specifically the way cryptocurrency has been (not) performing this year. Making money in an hour could have been the way it was when the book was published,…

My Hong Kong Adventure
•
While scrolling through a cheap-airfare google search, my husband asked, “Want to go to Hong Kong?” Is there any other answer to that but YES! Him and I set off for the other side of the world to ring in 2018 in style. Konger style! Getting there is half the fun (JK) We flew…
