Welcome to August (she said, several days late)! And, more importantly, welcome to the weekend! Have you had a nice week? I hope so. I, on the other hand, well…have you ever had one of those weeks that drains every single ounce of energy from you? That was me. That was the entire last month for me. Last night, I…

Remember, remember the fifth of November. You’ve heard that one before, right? I’ll be honest, I didn’t know that much about Guy Fawkes before I watched V for Vendetta a few years ago. After I watched the movie, I went looking for books about the Gunpowder Plot, but there wasn’t much out there. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover…

Greetings, amazing people! Happy weekend to all! It’s almost the end of July — can you believe it? — and I am so glad, as I am anything but a sweet summer child. But for those of you who love the sun, I hope that you get all of the enjoyment that you wish for in the back half of…

Good afternoon, all! It’s that time again! Are we all ready to go? You’re in for a treat! I’ve obtained Hagrid’s marvelous motorcycle for this week’s trip! Don’t ask how, I can’t talk about it. Have we packed up our snacks and found our travel buddies? Great! Hop into the sidecar (don’t worry, it’s bigger on the inside), put on…

Happy weekend! Have you recovered from the week yet? No? That’s okay! It was a long week for me, too. We are entitled to a little rest and relaxation. Take all the time that you need. Grab a drink, settle down, and let’s look at what the awesome writers here at Speculative Chic did last week!

Hello everyone! It’s that time again when we at Speculative Chic come together to discuss timely and important matters! This month’s roundtable was suggested by Kristina Elyse Butke. A little while after Kristina suggested this topic, Nicole Taft announced something on Twitter that I had no idea that I needed: Mortal Kombat was available to stream on Netflix. Readers, I…

Hello, fantastic readers! What a strange week it’s been! Wednesday was Independence Day in the USA. Sadly, no alien overlords came to visit. But, some of us got an extra day off from work out of it, so that’s good, right? Right. How was your week? Did you do something exciting? If you live in the USA, did you take…

You know how there are good things in the world that just aren’t for you? I experienced a massive dose of this lately. To preface, let me begin by confessing something: I am a fantasy reader who is very picky about epic fantasy. I didn’t like The Lord of the Rings. I loved the movies, but the books? I barely…

Welcome to June’s very last roundup! I used to love June. Such promise. Such hope for a long summer spent filled with adventures. Then I had to grow up, get a job, and such things became distant memories. Now, as a “grown up,” these months have ceased to have any of those things. As a thermophobe, I actively dislike this…
