Tome Thursday: Juliette and the Billionaire Boss

 
Hello everyone!
 
Apologies for missing Tuesday's post, but, unfortunately life just hasn't been cooperating this week. I'm sort of back in the groove of things now (I hope!) and I'm aiming to bring you a pretty neat beast come next Talkie Tuesday, so fingers crossed for that.
 
In the meantime, let's have a look at another book.
 
As we usually do, of course.
 
And this week is a pretty huge deal BECAUSE, it's the end of a long-running series, called A Boss in a Billion, by Serenity Woods.
 
This trilogy's titled The Christchurch Billionaires, and man oh man have they been amazing to read.
 
Now with Henry and Juliette's story, it all comes to an end, in the best way possible of course.
 
There isn't any other way when Ms Woods is the one writing these books!
 
So let's look at Juliette and the Billionaire Boss, then.

Tome Thursday: Scorched Redemption


Hello everyone!

Welcome back to another interesting book we're reviewing tonight.

Well, in all fairness, I've read and reviewed it on other platforms a while ago but, I had some others lined up that REALLY needed to be put up for viewing first so, here we are!

Sometimes, you just need to juggle a whole bunch of lemons altogether, and hope that you get either a lemonade or a martini out of it by the end, not just some lemon splat on the floor.

Rebecca Hefner is one of those authors I stumbled on completely by accident, and yet I've now managed to keep tabs on her for quite some time.

I'm not all that into her vampiric series BUT when she writes dystopia?

HOO BOY! She writes it BUT GOOD.

So here we go one more time, for the second book in the current dystopian tale, Scorched Redemption.

Talkie Tuesday: Tales of the Empire

 

"Long live the Empire.


Hello everyone!

Let darkness reign, let hearts quiver, and let us take a look at some of what went down during the reign of probably one of the most-known Empires the fictional world has ever seen.

I'm talking, of course, about the GALACTIC Empire, ruled by none other than Darth Sidious.

Back in 2022, Disney graced us with the animated Tales of the Jedi, and everyone around the world rejoiced.

Then they dropped the absolutely spectacular news that in 2024, we'd be seeing the OTHER side of the coin.

Aka, the Dark Side.

As if anyone would need any MORE invitation to watch this May 4th; hide your Force sensitivity, and let's have a look at Tales of the Empire.

Tome Thursday: City of Mirth and Malice

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome to a book feast.
 
And when I say feast, I MEAN feast.
 
Even though, for some inexplicable reason, I apparently DON'T have the first of this duology on my blog here.
 
Which I only JUST discovered, and how the HELLS it happened, I have no clue.
 
I'm going to rectify this mistake in the very near future and post about that as well; apparently I was missing some brain cells when I was reading the book last autumn and somehow didn't think to put it on here.
 
It makes zero sense, because I loved it so much, and now I love the sequel too, but there you have it.
 
Not everything always makes sense.
 
Without further ado, then, let's jump right into City of Mirth and Malice.

Talkie Tuesday: Romance with a Twist

 

"The moment you wanna quit is the moment you've gotta just keep pushing even harder."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome back to another movie review, and yet again we've chosen one of Hallmark's.
 
Why?
 
Well, because every once in a while, for the most part, I kind of wander back to my old ways (the days when I would watch copious amounts of Hallmark Channel movies aren't that far behind me yet!) and want to see whether or not there've been any changes.
 
There haven't, not that many in any event, but at the very least things are pretty amusing for the most part.
 
That was what happened this past Sunday as I was picking a movie to watch for Tuesday's blog. And the only real reason I chose it was because I'm intrigued by the whole, dancing around on silks thing, as well as Jocelyn Hudon, who I feel is a magnificent find to stardom.
 
I just can't wait to see her in more cinematic pieces!
 
Until then, without further ado, let's have a look at Romance with a Twist.

Tome Thursday: Ghastly Mistake

 
Hello everyone!
 
Well, we did it.
 
WE DID IT.
 
I say, as if I were single-handedly responsible for getting these books out. HA. I wish.
 
Better words to use would be that Byrd Nash did it, getting all six parts of her gaslight romantasy series out into the world at large, and with such ample success too!
 
I accidentally stumbled over Madame Chalamet on BookSirens, but then after the first three books discovered the author would actually be doing ARCs personally as well, and got myself hooked up to that.
 
Because there was no way, NO WAY, I'm telling you, that I would be missing out.
 
Elinor Chalamet is everything you might want in a female hero, and I was going to hitch myself along for the ride to witness her story come to a satisfying conclusion.
 
And boy, did it!
 
Time to talk to ghosts one last time (for now) in Ghastly Mistake.

Talkie Tuesday: One Bad Apple

 

"Never underestimate a baker."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome back.
 
After taking a bit of a break last week, I decided to sink my teeth into a deliciously yummy murder mystery for you all for this week's blog post.
 
What can I say - I'm an amateur sleuth at heart. It all goes back to watching Hercule Poirot on TV with my parents when I was younger.
 
Tonight's choice might not be QUITE as sophisticated as Agatha Christie's little mustachioed detective, but, that aside, it has an amiable cast and a fairly easy plot to follow, so I'd say that's a pretty good choice for anyone to watch.
 
They also managed to make the switch in male stars rather seamless. Ish. So hopefully that bodes well for the future!
 
For now, put on your aprons and get those apple peelers. One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, is up next.
