Each Monday, we are pleased to present someone’s favorite things! We’re madly in love with so many things and we love sharing those things with the whole world. However, once per year, we convene to discuss the things that disappointed us. Perhaps it was something that we had been anticipating and we felt let down by its reality. Maybe it…

The year is nearly finished! You may recall that quite a few of us set ourselves some goals for the year with our 2018 Resolution Project. How did we do? Let’s talk to a few of our contributors and find out!

Hello all! Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA who celebrate it. The “official” winter holiday shopping season kicks off tomorrow (even though there are some businesses who have decided to open up today, but that’s neither here nor there, and nobody wants to hear me gripe about that). Either way, the gift-giving season is upon us! I asked our…

Without getting in too deep, the last few years have been tough on a lot of us for a variety of reasons. Many things haven’t exactly gone the way that we would like them to. People are even throwing around the term “the darkest timeline” in reference to the way the world is going. When we find something that makes…

Music is everywhere! Our favorite moments in movies, video games, and television almost always have some kind of musical accompaniment. From the hauntingly beautiful “Light of the Seven” which accompanied a crucial scene in season six of Game of Thrones (no spoilers at the link) to the plethora of musical tidbits from the highway scene in the first Deadpool (seriously,…

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…

Let’s be honest: despite the adage, we are all guilty of occasionally judging books by the cover. We know we shouldn’t, but sometimes, we just can’t help ourselves. This month’s roundtable topic was suggested by Nicole Taft, bookseller par excellence. She sees a lot of book covers, and wanted to talk about books that we, as readers, picked up simply…

Last month, we talked about our favorite superheroes. Everybody loves a hero, no? We covered a healthy spectrum, from the traditional (Spider-Man!) to the unexpected (Super-Administrator!), and had a lot of fun with it. So, naturally, I thought that we could flip the coin and take a look at the more complicated members of the fictional world. The villains are…

Infinity War is coming, Infinity War is coming! To say that some of us are excited would be an understatement. With this in mind, I asked our contributors something simple: who’s your favorite superhero? It doesn’t have to be one of the obvious heroes. I humbly submit that Buffy Summers is a superhero, for example. We’re most definitely not limited…

So, it’s been a pretty brutal winter this year in North America (our home base). Are you as absolutely done with it as I am? It’s blowing snow as I write this, and the forecast predicts another snowfall this weekend. Fortunately, spring is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. When I started thinking about what our…
