Amanda Leduc’s The Miracles of Ordinary Men (2013)

2014-07-11T16:38:15-04:00

When the angels invaded the plotline of "Supernatural", I stopped watching weekly. I prefer stone rabbits and hedgehogs in my flowerbeds, over white winged statues.

Two Chilling Reads: The Dark and Secrecy

2014-05-13T15:03:24-04:00

David Gilmour’s Extraordinary (2013)

2020-07-30T14:34:28-04:00
