I feel like I didn’t read enough last month, but I think I always feel like that. So many books, so little time! My favorite read for September was, hands down, Take the Lead by debut author Alexis Daria. I could not put it down. This electric, sexy, Dancing With the Stars-meets-Alaskan Bush People contemporary… Read More Mala’s September 2017 Hot Reads
With season seven of HBO’s Game of Thrones wrapped and season eight denied us until 2019, I would just like to say one thing: I told you so! Sort of. Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) took their fraught political alliance to a very naked level in the season finale — but… Read More Will Game of Thrones Season 8 Sink the Jon and Daenerys Ship?
A month involving new books by Joanna Bourne, Tessa Dare and Kit Rocha is definitely a good one!

For those new to the show, which is airing its fifth and final reason right now, here’s a revelation: All of those characters… Read More Sestras Before Misters: Orphan Black’s Rah-Rah Sisterhood
There are more dragons than there are black people in the core cast of HBO’s Game of Thrones — a show on which at least six people die before breakfast every day. So, you might understand why I’m petrified that the achingly beautiful Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) and Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) will bite the dust… Read More If Game of Thrones’ Grey Worm & Missandei Die, We Riot!
Earlier this month, Disney announced the cast of their upcoming live-action Aladdin: Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Naomi Scott as Jasmine, with previously announced Will Smith as Genie. We need a lamp and a genie of our own to wish this travesty away. When I was a kid, the only Barbies I had were the… Read More Aladdin’s Casting Isn’t One Jump Ahead—It’s Steps Behind
