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.

Book Review: Ice Station

Let’s get down to business, because this is arguably my favorite book of all time …

Action, Action, Action – this book does not quit. Think Fast and Furious, but in book form. There are very few breaks in the drama, but rather than feeling exhausted, Reilly leaves you invigorated and wanting more after each chapter.

The plot gets deep into military conspiracy theories, and I swear you’ll walk away thinking you just took a crash course in the CIA. You’ll want to start using words like “recon,” “maghook,”and “assault position,” in daily life
