It’s no secret that there’s a bunch a readers here at Speculative Chic. Asking our writers what their favorite read of 2017 seemed like an easy task, but it wasn’t. When you read as many books as we do, how do you pick just one? And did it have to be a book published in 2017, or just a book…

It’s the first weekend of the new year, and I hope the first week of 2018 treated you kindly. Here at Speculative Chic, we wanted to start the new year off with a bang, so let’s take a look at all of the awesome content this week, and see what you might’ve missed!

I know. It’s a sad title — all those poor, unwanted books that appear on Christmas morning. Kind of like the Island of Misfit Toys. But January is the month of returns in the retail world. Books are unwrapped only to find their owners unexcited at their arrival. Maybe it’s because grandma misjudged your taste; you’re a fan of Star…

Last year, a handful of our writers embarked on a Speculative Chic Resolution. As with all resolutions, we started out with the best of intentions, but as 2017 progressed and wound down, well, you can see how we fared here. But the lure of a New Year is that clean slate, a chance to start over, and a chance to…

We’ve shared our 2017 Disappointments with you, so now it feels only appropriate that we share what we’re most looking forward to next year. There’s a lot of amazing content being released, and for a lot of us, it was hard to narrow our picks to just one. Nevertheless, we managed, so without further adieu, come see what the writers…

You know what the trouble is when you look forward to something? Inevitably, it just might let you down, and then something you could’ve shrugged off otherwise becomes a bitter disappointment. So while we at Speculative Chic love celebrating our favorites (seriously, have you been reading our My Favorite Things column?), we also think it’s important to talk about those…

In 2016, your Editor-in-Chic had what she thought was a brilliant idea: why not make New Year’s Resolutions, but make them spec-fic related? So I asked my contributors: What’s something you’ve always wanted to read/watch/play/attend that you keep putting off? A handful answered me, and so, The Resolution Project was born. The plan was to write up our own individual…

The weekend has arrived, and I couldn’t be more grateful! It was a long week for me, so I’m glad for the chance to finally relax. I’m going to have to take my own advice and catch up on all of the posts that our contributors served up this week. It’s snowy in my town today, so staying inside sounds…

For 2017 my resolution goal was to finally watch Day 5. I suppose it’s fairly appropriate that I viewed the first episode of Day 5 at 4:00 am after pulling an all-nighter at work. After getting home I simply wasn’t tired and, after trying to find other ways to amuse myself, finally thought what better time to begin a series…

We get it. 2017 has been, by and large, the year of suck. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you believe in, it seems like everyone we know has been dealt a terrible blow this year, and it’s been hard to see something good when every time we turn around, we’re given more and more bad news. But…
