Miracle: The Most Quotable Movie of All Time

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?! YES!!! Guys – Netflix just uploaded a new batch of movies, and included was one of my absolute all time favorites, Miracle. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a docu-drama about the 1980’s US Olympic Ice Hockey team – the team who beat the Soviet Union in a medal round famously dubbed the “Miracle on Ice.” The movie stars Kurt Russell (swoon) as coach Herb Brooks, and includes a slew of other early 2000’s hotties you’ll be sure to recognize. So as I’m watching this movie, and literally shouting quotes at my fiance throughout, I realized it might just be.. for me.. THE most quotable movie. I mean literally, there is something for every situation… just look…

Now that we’re a few weeks into the new year, I thought I’d take a few minutes to tell you all a little bit about me! My name is Megan, but I like to go by my alter ego Basic White Book on social media. I’m 29 years old (30 in two months OMG), and live in Chester County, Pennsylvania. I graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Organizational and Community Leadership, and I’m finishing up my MBA at Penn State. I work at Bentley Systems as a Marketing Programs Manager, and I’ve been there for … I can’t believe it… ten years! I started as an intern, and through a lot of twists and turns, found the job for me.

Movie Review: Bird Box

Let’s take a bit of a break from reading to discuss 2019’s first major meme-able movie: Bird Box. Beyond the fact that it’s taken the internet by storm, Bird Box is a science fiction thriller, where a mysterious force has decimated the population. Coming at you in the form of.. well we’re not really sure but in the movie it looks like a darkish cloud… this entity shows a person their worst fears, forcing them to commit suicide. It’s a Netflix original, based on a book by the same name, AND the first funny thing to happy in 2019.

Book Review: Time’s Convert

Where are my All Souls fans!? Because I. HAVE. ARRIVED. Last year, a friend of mine introduced me to A Discovery of Witches, and I’ve never been the same. I’ve added it to the now ongoing list of life changing series’ (talking to you Sarah J. Maas…), and lucky enough, I started right as a new book was coming out.

Welcome to 2019

Welcome to 2019 my lovely bookish friends! It’s a new year, and I’ve decided to migrate over from a joint blog (you will be missed Nine to Twenty-Five!) to my very own space. For the newbies visiting here, my name is Megan and I’m your average nerd trying to get on in this life. I love to read, write, boat, and generally live life to the very fullest. A few years ago, I started a bookstagram account to showcase some of those loves, which then morphed into writing a bit more. Here I’ll talk about everything from book reviews to general almost-30-year-old word vomit. Welcome to my site - poke around a little (I’ve added some retroactive blogs from my previous blog), and enjoy!
