Tome Thursday: The Fallen Bloodline

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the blog.

 

Tonight, we're taking a look at a book that's getting its second release day just next week!

 

Yep, you read that right.

 

The books, The Fallen Bloodline and The Old Serpent, have previously been published separately, but the author went back and tidied the texts up, polished them a little bit (they truly didn't need much, I can promise you), and is now re-releasing them under one single title.

 

It's an omnibus edition and she's currently hard at work writing the third - and I think final - book in this series!

 

Honestly, I'm of a mind it can't come soon enough, though of course, OF COURSE it's at the author's discretion naturally.

 

But the story is just so good I can't wait to see what comes next!

 

So without further ado: The Fallen Bloodline Omnibus.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Alpha

 

"The first. The fastest. The strongest."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back.

 

And happy return to the YRF Spy Universe!

 

Man, I was waiting for this movie's release. Like, stupidly waiting, because I was looking forward to a female-led action movie in this line, especially as said lead is definitely young enough to be able to eventually continue the series onward once the oldies retire, should they wish to pursue that angle.

 

Not that I'm in a hurry for it, because Salman, Hrithik and SRK are a joy to watch on screen.

 

But REALISTICALLY, every old agent WILL eventually retire, or be put in the ground, so.

 

Anyway.

 

My excitement reached peak performance when Netflix really hustled to get it onto its streaming services, and you know I watched it almost the second it landed.

 

So without further ado: Alpha.

 

Tome Thursday: The Wrong Billionaire

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back, and, I know what you're thinking.

 

Most of you are probably shaking your heads, rolling your eyes, or saying FINALLY.

 

I mean, how many bloggers do you know who'll write about all the other books in the series and THEN realize, hey whoops, I never actually talked about the one that started it all?

 

There's a first time for everything, I guess LOL, so here we are.

 

... or is it the first time? I have a feeling I've done this before!

 

The thing is, I read so much, and review SO much, that I might THINK I've done something, only to find out I actually only thought about it, and never put pen to paper.

 

Or, fingers to keyboard in this case.

 

Eh. Life's short, so YOLO, right?

 

Without further dithering from me: The Wrong Billionaire.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Mandalorian and Grogu

 

"This is the way."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to a galaxy far, far away.

 

Tonight, we're buckling up and heading back into one of the most beloved corners of the franchise, well, at least that's what I think.

 

Based on responses online prior to this release, it used to be!

 

I still feel like it is.

 

Then again - and I may be in a minority - I could sit and watch several seasons of Dadalorian and his little green frog-eating spawn traipsing around the galaxy getting in trouble and figuring out how the heck to get out of it again.

 

I mean, if we can have over twenty seasons of Grey's Anatomy ...

 

But I digress.

 

Grab your lasers and dust off your Force skills, we're looking at The Mandalorian and Grogu!

 

Tome Thursday: Starting Over

 

Hello everyone!

 

Tonight we're taking a look at one of my more, er, shameful moments.

 

You see, the way things happen in my life is that, every once in a while, life literally happens.

 

And I don't have much of a say in it.

 

I was SUPPOSED to read this book waaay before tonight's post, and review it MUCH sooner too, to boot. Unfortunately, like I said, life has a tendency to happen to me when I'm quite literally looking elsewhere, and so here we are now.

 

The book released back in April, so I think I at least beat the solid half a year later mark if nothing else?

 

God knows!

 

But I swear, I WILL be better about the third one in the series, because overall I'm liking the vibe from these books as well as the writing style. Angela Day has her way with words, and I enjoy diving into these character-driven stories.

 

So without further ado: Starting Over!

 

Talkie Tuesday: LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian

 

"This is the way."

 

Hello everyone!

 

You didn't think I was going to miss out on this, did you?

 

I mean, The Mandalorian is, by and large, at the very least for the seasons it ran on television, the best thing that's come out of Star Wars since 2015.

 

So I mean. METHINKS I SHALL NOT PASS.

 

Ahem.

 

The minute I saw the first teaser trailers drop, I knew I was in for a grand ole time, because I already thoroughly enjoyed watching Mando mando-ing his way across the galaxy with his little green frog-eating child.

 

By the time I actually sat down to watch it, the hype was real, since I hadn't seen the latest movie in cinemas (but did in fact watch it on streaming, and WILL be reviewing next week).

 

Without further ado: LEGO The Mandalorian!

 

Tome Thursday: Dragon Descending

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the continuation of last week's blog post.

 

Because, of course, I AM going to talk about Phoenix Rising's sequel, since I feel like it's even better than the first one, which is a hard thing to do, honestly.

 

Following up a release is always a tough act, but whoooooo boy, does Ms Provost manage!

 

If you were even a little bit hooked by Lochlyn and Rosalie's story in Phoenix, then I can promise you right now that this one is even better.

 

Why, you may ask?

 

Because we have everything of the initial meet-ups and get-to-knows already behind us, we're right in the thick of the story, and the biggest revelation that's ever reveal-ated drops before the book ends, dropping jaws alongside with it.

 

That's why!

 

So without further ado: Dragon Descending.
