Sansa and Daenerys
Before I begin my analysis of two characters I want to admit that I did not read the books that George R.R. Martin wrote. My analysis is based only on my fanship of the H.B.O. show "Game of Thrones". I was obsessed with the show and had all of the DVDs in my personal collection. I thought the dialogue was brilliant and always looked for wisdom from all of the characters that Martin introduced us to in this epic.

The Eye of the World by: Robert Jordan (review)
Cons: 1. Loooooooooong. And I don't just mean on the size of the book. You can see how long the book is going to be by how thick it is, but there were moments in The Eye of the World where I was praying for something to happen that would keep me interested to keep going forward. Trust me, length of books are not a problem, I read the Stormlight Archive by: Brandon Sanderson. But length, for me, has EVERYTHING to do with keeping me interested. Keeping me wanting to read more or continue. This book lost me a few times. A few too many times in that it took me a year to finish this book. Truth be told, I've tried reading this book twice and listened to the audiobook once. I had to read it twice because the first time, I stopped halfway through and to much time had passed before I picked it up again, so I decided to start over. This second time, I read about three quarters of it and then spent nearly 9 months before I picked it up again -- and FINALLY finished it.

Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
"In 1969, during the same summer as Woodstock, a different music festival took place 100 miles away. Over 300,000 people attended the summer concert series known as the Harlem Cultural Festival. It was Free to all. The festival was filmed. But after that summer the footage sat in a basement for 50 years. It has never been seen until now." These are the opening lines of the best musical documentary that I have ever seen.

My Review of "Summer Of Soul (...Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) is a piece of American history that has been swept under the carpet until now. It speaks about the Harlem Soul Festival of 1969. The footage of the festival was recorded and thousands of people were in attendance. It makes you wonder how and why this festival went unnoticed for over 50 years!

A Xennial’s Review of Netflix’s “Fear Street Part One: 1994”
Growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s was terrifying. It was only natural that we gravitated to the fictional spooky when our young lives were filled with real-life Big Bads like creeps in white vans and teenagers who tried to force us to smoke crack in the park (or so the ABC Afterschool Specials foretold).
