Feelings All right. Okay. Calm down. Let it all seep in for a minute. Breathe. I understand what you’re going through. Coherent thought has also left me in a lurch this morning. I just keep seeing aggressive tongue wrestling and shirt ripping. Also, I keep thinking I heard someone say something about a weird, new…

Florence + The Machine “Lover to Lover”
Fire & Water I’ve been losing sleep. I’ve been keeping myself awake. I’ve been wandering the streets for days and days, and days. Going from row to row, bed to bed, lover to lover, and black to red. But I believe. I believe . . . there’s no salvation for me now; no space among…
A Very ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas
The Ice-Men Cometh ‘Twas one month before Christmas, when all through the house, not a sound could be heard, except the click of a mouse. She shook as she heard The Doctor on screen. “The trailer is here!” She shrieked and she screamed. Away to the computer, she flew like a flash. “I must tell…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes”
Make Believe Hello, everyone! I told you not to worry about me. I’m fine. My run-in with Stefan and Damon last week couldn’t have gone better. They’re harmless, I assure you. It was a good thing I had some vervain with me, though. They couldn’t compel me into giving back their diaries. Those poor fellas;…
Trailer Talk: Warm Bodies
Written In Reverse At Kim the Fangirl, we love our fictional characters (Hunters, Hybrids, Vampire soulmates, etc); the sparkling, the romance, the uncomplicated lines of cheesy dialogue. However, if you didn’t already know, we also share a fondness for those impossibly slow-moving, ever so hungry creatures of the living dead. There’s been a lot of…
Random Rambling: Black Friday, Breaking Dawn, and The Host
Three Rants for the Price of One Black Friday Black Friday will be here next week. I’m guessing you already knew this, of course. But for you unfortunate fangirls overseas, this is the time of year – the day after our Thanksgiving – when Americans get up at ungodly hours of the morning, and freeze…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “The Killer”
Dear Diary . . . I Effed Up Psst! Hey. Over here. Hi. I hope you enjoyed last week’s Story Time with Kim. As you can see, I’m not there to talk with you about the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries. I’ve been, um, detained, as it were. There’s a lot to talk about too:…
Press Play (Wednesday Edition): Ryan Adams
“It’s Only Gonna Make You Love Me More” Welcome to a very special installment of Press Play! I’m glad you could make it. You might have noticed this isn’t our usual meeting place; those special Fridays we had reserved now overrun by vampires and hybrids. It’s just not right to let you go without, so…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “The Five”
Sympathy for the Devil Our story begins on a night such as this . . . Chapter 1 1110 A.D. Thunder cracks and the wind howls, as overly muscular men stand in a circle, while the witch casts her spell. Immortality, she whispers. Fire ignites; their swords become aflame. Long lines of intricately woven ink…
Book Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
If I am a connoisseur of anything, it is having an unpredictable attraction to stories of the spine-chilling, mysterious variety. A curious relationship, yes, but one I’ve always known. So it was without hesitance, after spying Miss Peregrine’s distinctive cover, that I went forth and removed the novel from the seller’s shelf. Hoping to find…
