Nerd Chillin: intro

Intro: Christine :)

Hello there, this is Christine! If you scroll down (or up, I don't know...scroll somewhere) you'll see Lizzie's intro. It only seems fitting that I need to make one as well, considering I'm the other half of this blog. As you will eventually find out, I'm a MAJOR fangirl over the strangest of things, and my obsessions do change quite frequently, but I tend to need to rant a lot. This is that place to do it!

I'm going to put the PSA in my intro as well: Lizzie and I, while sharing many of the same fandoms, do have different interests and fandoms that we are a part of. We'll specify who is who in the title, but just warning ya'll! :)

My posts will have something to do with any of the following topics:

Books~ I'm going to try to review most of the books I finish reading...just give my general opinions and thoughts on it. Like Lizzie, I won't really have a time schedule on this, especially since I'm so busy this summer, but I'll try to do it as often as I can!

TV/Movies~ I admit that I am a huge screen freak. I have the random-est (ugh, not even a word...wow Christine) assortment of movies and shows that I like to watch, but every now and then I'm going to be posting reviews, rants, or general fangirly behavior towards a show or film on here. Here's a list of the TV show fandoms I'm involved in:

Doctor Who
Alias
Criminal Minds
The Fosters (Guilty pleasure :P)
Gravity Falls
Daredevil (Need to watch past pilot, but it was really good so far!)
I feel like I'm missing something,...I can't remember!

Theater~ I'm a huge thespian, especially when it comes to musicals! Every now and then I might have a play review (we'll see.) So, that's another thing to add to my list. :)

Ramblings~Who knows, I might post tags that have to do with books, or writing stuff. Maybe I'll consider doing rants on things I hate in certain book genres, or decide to just blog about an obsession I have with something random! Only time will tell!

Intro: Lizzie

Hey everyone! I'm Lizzie- one half of this new blog. My friend Christine and I created this blog because we are both giant nerds, and somewhat lack an outlet. We've both been big fans of the booktube community for maybe two years now, and I've always wanted to try it. However, I wasn't sure that it would be the smartest move to put my face on the web. So here we are! Blogging instead of vlogging.

Christine and I will probably blog about different fandoms, so the important thing to look out for is the title. We'll try to add a colon and then whoever is writing afterwards. We both have similar interests, but there are, like I said, things that differ. Here's my intro.

My posts will fall into the following categories.

1. Books. Every time I finish a new book I'm going to try to review it on here. This will have absolutely no time schedule since I could end up reading two books a month or twelve. Christine will probably review books as well, but I don't how she'll do hers.

2. Superhero Sunday? (Name may be subject to change.) Thanks to Marvel's Daredevil I've started to venture out into the comic universe. I'm new at this, so don't get your hopes up for a spiffy comic know-it-all. I'll review the graphic novels I've gotten my hands on, rant about the upcoming movies and TV shows, and more. This first Sunday will also include a brief intro to let all of you know what I'm most into, and what I'm lacking in.

3. TV. I didn't used to be that big on TV until Christine introduced me to Doctor Who. Speaking of Christine, she may not be into comics, but she watches just as much TV as I do, so you can bet that she'll blog on this too. But just so you know what you can expect from me, here is what is I've watched and what is on my Netflix watch list: *could be discussed on SS

Doctor Who (watched)
Sherlock (watched)
Lost (watched)
Daredevil* (watched)
The 100 (1st season)
Arrow* (currently watching 2nd season)
Flash* (to watch)
Clone Wars (yes, it's on my re-watch list. Haven't seen this show in forever!)
Gravity Falls (watched)
Firefly (to watch)
Turn: Washington's Spies (may watch)
Agents of Shield* (to watch)
Agent Carter* (to watch)
Revolution (finished pilot)
Coninuum (on season 1)

So yeah. Don't expect something like Family Guy or Gossip Girl.

4. Movies. Most of this will be on book to movie adaptations, Marvel movies*, and Disney. Rarely to I care about anything else. (Jurassic World is my current exception. That was perfection.)

5. Web series. I really loved "Nothing Much to Do" and "The Lizzie Benet Diaries" (is that how you spell Benet because what that looks wrong spell check what are you doing?). I'm looking forward to watching Jules and Monty and Lovely Little Losers!

So yeah! That's my fandoms! Hope to see some of you soon, and I hope you enjoy!
