I was supposed to review, but I just can't bear to. <br /><br />I will also skip 'From the Dark.' You know for once I wish people in horror movies were smarter or even slightly smart. The first horror movie I've seen in which the woman was reasonably intelligent and resourceful was "You're Next." Have you had a chance to see that one yet? msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-54527480258949307082015-08-16T13:12:39.174-04:002015-08-16T13:12:39.174-04:00Melissa, you can rejoin anytime.

I had heard of box socials but knew nothing about them. I actually would love to find a lizard in my box social box!<br /><br />And about the Fantastic Four movie--- the TV promo seemed kind of dismal.

I had no idea lizards did that. Maybe it's some kind of mating call his own variation of a box social. Since he's beige colored, I'll pick the beige box!<br /><br />Congrats to AA and Sean for their new releases!<br /><br />I really liked the IWSG graphic with the suggestions.

Yep, just my luck to miss by a minute. <br /><br />Box socials sound like being picked for the baseball team when you are a clumsy, shy, girl standing there embarrassed and chosen last. Thanks for reminding me of the good-old school days! Lol Hmm, do I sound bitter? No, it is my brand of humor. Bitter humor. But I'm not bitter. No.<br /><br />Loved the book trailer. I think it is the second one I've seen. Really draws you in.
