Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – Two Movies for the Price of One?
I walked into Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them expecting I might have a few problems.

Scholastic, HarperCollins, and Insight Editions have all signed up to publish book “inspired” by the film, projected to be the […]

Cuddli hosted a Waffle Party Singles Brunch for Geeks at Meltdown
I was scrolling through my Twitter feed when I noticed Meltdown Comics tweeted a sweet picture of maple syrup bottles, butter, and waffle makers on Saturday. The image was accompanied with “#Waffle party prepping with @CuddliApp. Singles mingle, 11AM.” Naturally, I jumped from my mattress off the floor and got ready to eat some waffles in […]
