Talkie Tuesday: Mary

 

"Love will cost you dearly. It will pierce your heart.

But in the end, love will save the world."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Something a little different from me to you tonight.

 

I don't usually watch or consider movies with any type of religious message, although granted I suppose Quo Vadis could definitely land on that list ... but I digress.

 

This one kind of fell into my lap completely by accident because I thought the trailer screenshot looked nice.

 

Then I watched the trailer and decided, hey, I could watch this.

 

This weekend was the time I decided I was actually going to watch, and I have to say I enjoyed it, as a casual viewer who only has the most basic knowledge of religious tenements, and who was never brought up religious. 

Without further ado, then, let's have a look at Netflix's version of Mary.

 

Tome Thursday: Addie and the AI Boyfriend

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the blog for another interesting ride tonight.

 

I first stumbled over this author on BookSirens when I randomly chose a book of theirs that talked about vampires - I know, cliche, right?

 

But I ended up liking their writing style so I figured, when I got the notification that they had another ARC up to choose from, I could take a second look.

 

Turns out, their contemporary stuff is even better than their historic fiction one!

 

And I'm not even joking.

 

You might look at the title and think to yourself: oh this is some Avengers stuff. You'd be right, too, BUT it's still a fun thing to read through and you have tons of fun while trying to figure out what's going on.

 

So without further ado, let's hop right in and see what exactly Sarah Saponiara has to say in Addie and the AI Boyfriend.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Beauty and the Beast

 

"Tale as old as time ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I honestly can't believe I've never put this one on my blog. I'm not ENTIRELY sure what happened here, but I've pretty much covered about a dozen other topics that are somehow connected to this, and yet never touched the OG.

 

Or, the OG as my generation knows it, at least.

 

This past weekend, I was playing Dreamlight Valley and working my butt off to get the two main characters from tonight's movie choice to my village. After succeeding, I felt so inspired and nostalgic that I had to pull up Disney+ just to watch the movie.

 

... I did then follow it with the live-action from 2017 as well, but who's counting?

 

In any event, make sure you have your tissues ready, that you've locked the doors from any and all silly suitors, and that you're prepared for adventure that you can't find anywhere else but in this story.

 

Because we're headed to an enchanted castle to meet a beast, and free him from his curse. Beauty and the Beast a la 1991, everyone!
