NEW BLOG: Slow to the Show

Hey guys! I just wanted to do a quick little plug on here for my new blog Slow to the Show.

The premise is that I’ll be watching a bunch of old shows and giving my thoughts on each episode. I’m starting out with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and will move on to other shows from there! I’ll still be working on this site as well, but if you’re interested in television as well as books, go give me a follow!

If you check out my About page you’ll find a list of shows that I’m planning on watching. Let me know if there are any I need to add to my list!
