Brooke Pawling Stennett is a college student pursuing a degree in Multimedia Journalism and Creative Non-Fiction in the old Windy City. She tends to lean toward the obsessive side of the tracks when it comes to books and music. She's an avid concert attendee (or at least she tries to!) and rambler. She'd like to travel the world and write about it, but in the only ways she knows how: sarcastically and full of internet jargon. Her opinions are her best ones, especially if they involve boy-bands and Netflix. . .even though she doesn't even have her own account. You can tweet her at @br_stennett and tell her how ridiculous (and totally great!) her opinions are.

TV Recap: Empire (2×12) “A Rose by Any Other Name”

And we’re back with an even bigger bang . . . well, let’s make that two.

Book Review: The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney

The Nest has everything from intoxicating fleshed out characters, hilarious anecdotes, accurate real life settings, to smart dialogue and alarmingly likable secondary characters.

TV Review: Empire (2×11) “Death Will Have His Day”

Nothing comes between Lucious and his throne as CEO. It’s chilling, disturbing, and the most beaten to the ground plot point Empire uses. Spare us, Lee Daniels.

Book Review: “The Great Hunt” by Wendy Higgins

This isn’t Wendy Higgins’ first book, but I hesitate to pick something up to compare it to. While The Great Hunt isn’t the worst YA fiction released (yet), it sure won’t be on my end-of-the-year lists.
