Watch. Read. Obsess. Repeat.

I'm Catherine, an avid reader and a self-declared professional binge watcher. It's not uncommon to find me re-watching a series or movie for the umpteenth time and still be crying into a box of tissues. When I'm not hiding in my closet (where else do you go to hide from your kids?) to read or watch a show or movie, I am a wife, mother, and, in my spare time, a lawyer.
