Talkie Tuesday: Disney Princess The Ultimate Concert Celebration

 

"Every wish begins with a dream."

 

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's little blog, and it is, indeed, going to be LITTLE, because the show I watched was quite short, or should I say, it was a CONCERT, that was short.

 

Short, sweet, and to the point, honestly!

 

It was absolutely magical, however, and I was SO excited when my sister showed me what I could watch.

 

As a Disney fan who grew up on princess movies (Mulan might have been the first movie I ever watched in theatres, period), it was basically a dream come true in many ways.

 

 

And I started bawling my eyes out just as soon as Brandy opened her mouth to sing the starting song.

 

I don't think the tears stopped until everything was over and done with.

 

I know a lot of people have issues with Disney, the princesses, the movies, all of it. Nobody's denying that. But another universal truth is also that generations of children grew up watching these movies, and while as adults we can now acknowledge what the problems were and what happened wrongly, we can also see them for what they are - beautiful and nostalgic.

 

Plus, the lineup was incredible!!!

 

Do yourself a favour and watch (I linked it below!), if only for the memories.

 

You won't regret it.

 

 

Once a princess, always a princess!

Tome Thursday: The Forbidden Billionaire

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to this week's book of choice.

 

As you all know, Serenity Woods is possibly the one and only contemporary author I have on my reading list who has never once failed me, and who I tend to reach for whenever I'm feeling a bit down and need a pick-me-up.

 

My favourite books of hers are like old friends, cozy and wonderful and just brilliant enough to snuggle down with, so I reach for them quite often!

 

But I also always read every new book she releases, and I can't state this enough, but I am so, so, SO happy and thankful to be part of her permanent ARC team. 

 

It's a dream come true, and while I don't always end up buying every book she writes, I've bought my fair share, certainly I own all of my favourites by her!

 

So without further ado, let's hop straight into tonight's story, shall we?

 

Billionaires in general wait for no man - or no woman in this case, all things considered, because the story IS about a woman in The Forbidden Millionaire.

 

Talkie Tuesday: House of the Dragon

 

"Then the storm broke, and the dragons danced."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Once upon a time there lived this blogger, who usually ended up taking FOREVER to get blogs of pertinent things up and running.

 

But not today.

 

NOT TODAY!

 

Because I made it a point and a priority to get ALL of these episodes under my belt, catching up during my vacation so that I wouldn't be too far behind by the time I returned, and now it's time to have a look at what this last season had to offer us.

 

I mean, it's definitely losing its strength, I'll give it that unfortunately.

 

For some inexplicable reason, despite having ALL the information, it's going down the weaker path, possibly because the writers are coming up with what they consider to be cool moment, and then bump the characters there without really paying attention to the how.

 

But ANYWAY: House of the Dragon!

 

Tome Thursday: Elemental Becoming

 

Hello everyone!

 

Despite the fact I'm pretty much a melted version of myself through this heatwave every single day as I return from work, we persevere.

 

And I've had this book on the backburner for the blog since FOREVER ago.

 

All I needed to wait for was for it to officially release.

 

Which it did - just this week! Monday, to be precise.

 

Ironically, it's also the day I had to go back to work after my vacation, so naturally this means that I was dead on my feet by the time it was time to do some happy dance posts about it, but that's just the way we roll, sadly.

 

Now, however, I've at least got SOME energy and strength left in me because I think I drank twice my body weight in water today, and got some sugar in me during lunchtime. That should keep me safe and sound for the time being, I think!

 

So without further ado, let's head right into the thick of the story that we're about to experience, shall we? Good books wait for no man.

 

And neither does Elemental Becoming.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Mardaani 3

 

"Whenever a monster is born, a goddess must be born as well." 

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the blog.

 

I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry for that. Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of rockstar superhuman who can deal with no vacation, but I can honestly say my vacation was PRETTY good, all things considered.

 

Some would even call it AMAZING.

 

And now I'm back home!

 

Catching up on different things and shows and whatnot, because of course I've fallen slightly behind on everything, naturally.

 

But I also managed to watch some pretty decent movies down there while I was at it, and one of them is tonight's movie of choice.

 

We're going back to India, baby, in Mardaani 3.

 

Tome Thursday: Rage of Krakens

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back.

 

This will be my last blog post until I return from vacation, because I really, truly, desperately need a bit of a break and I don't plan on doing anything but relaxing, swimming, and possibly reading when I'm not sleeping like a baby while I'm away haha.

 

So I'm going to try and make this one count!

 

Tonight's choice is a book that literally JUST released on Amazon and to retailers worldwide, which is somewhat of a feat for me because I generally don't get to new releases this quickly.

 

Normally, I'd let them sit there for a bit until picking them up.

 

But I was VERY lucky to get chosen for an ARC for this book, and because I'd already read a few works from the author, I was super stoked.

 

Juliette Caruso writes SO well, and I AM HERE FOR IT.

 

Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen: Rage of Krakens.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Enola Holmes 3

 

"The puzzle is always as devious as the setter."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm back at it again, and mostly on time as well.

 

I can't quite believe it lol, but apparently that's what you get when you actually pay attention to what's going on and everything that might be happening online.

 

I've been a fan of the great detective Sherlock Holmes since ... forever sounds like such a long time ago but, well, it HAS been forever.

 

I used to read the children-friendly, abridged works of his, then watched the show with Jeremy Brett playing the titular character. When Netflix started poking around the Holmes family, of course I was going to watch this, too.

 

And for the most part, I've been enjoying the romp!

 

So without further ado, let's jump straight into what's going to be happening tonight, which is a review of the third installment in the series: Enola Holmes 3.
