Talkie Tuesday: Padmaavat

 

"War in the name of beauty."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Back to Bollywood tonight.

 

Honestly, I'm pretty pleased with myself.

 

A while ago I made a list of movies I really want to watch, and I've so far managed to trim it down to only a few left!

 

Of course I also keep adding new ones as Netflix adds them to their movie library, but that's obviously a problem for another day LOL.

 

Still, when the streamer gave me advance warning that THIS particular movie was about to launch on their service, I was stoked.

 

It was definitely on my list! And now I could watch it with subtitles and not have to worry about sync and whatnot.

 

So hold on to all you hold dear, lest someone take it: it's time to head back to historical India in tonight's epic, Padmaavat.

 

Tome Thursday: Stay Until Sunrise

 

Hello everyone!

 

Long time no see with one of these, eh?

 

But here we are again.

 

As if I could ever NOT have a Serenity Woods book on my blog every now and then!

 

It just so happens that she's a wonderful contemporary romance writer that's still going strong, even after writing as many books as she has.

 

And she's got a brand new, sizzling romance coming out VERY soon, that has nothing to do with the particular series I'm going to talk about tonight, but it's still going to be exciting.

 

I mean, it'll have a billionaire and there'll be surprise babies and the works.

 

You know how it goes. But it'll be done RIGHT this time!

 

Enough of that. Let's jump into what we've got going tonight, shall we?

 

It's time to Stay Until Sunrise.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special

 

"Hey, you, it's younger you;
When you're standing on the stars,
Just don't forget who you are ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm finally back after the insanity that was Easter - I mean, I love the holiday, don't get me wrong, and it's a great chance to spend some quality time with family, but, in all seriousness ...

 

It's exhausting.

 

LOL.

 

Plus, when you're working at the bakery, you're guaranteed to lose at least part of your marbles over the three days leading up to it.

 

Thankfully this is now over, we have plenty frozen goodies, and it's now time to finally just get back on the grind and do what needs to be done!

 

In this case, that would be the blogs of course.

 

So without further ado - we're celebrating tonight. 

 

We get the best of both world, baby, with the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special.

 

Tome Thursday: Knight's Fire

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog post.

 

I was incredibly lucky to be chosen for an ARC of this book, and, honestly? I really, really hope more people pick it up.

 

It's not just the fact that the writer writes SO GOOD (which, she does, believe me), but it's the story she tells.

 

The stories she's already told.

 

I have to go back and read the previous two books in the series, as, of course, I literally stumbled into it at the end LOL, or middle, really, but that'll come in time.

 

Tonight, we'll be talking about number three in the series.

 

And yes, you can actually read it without needing to have read the first two, which is a rarity these days. Normally, authors will say you can, but by the time you get to it, you realize nope, you have no clue. This one isn't like that.

 

So sharpen those swords, and let's get on with Knight's Fire.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Lady and the Tramp

 

"And they call it bella notte ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog post.

 

As you can see, I've moved away from Bollywood yet again (though you can always count on the fact I'll get back to it at some point, my list of movies that I still haven't watched is long, but distinguished haha). This time though, I've gone in the opposite direction and right into the golden era of animation.

 

Aka, the Walt Disney one.

 

Say what you want about the man - and opinions are certainly divided - but his company knew how to make movies back in the day.

 

They didn't even need to be all that complicated either, as we're about to witness.

 

All you really needed was a couple of protagonists, a very realistic situation, and boom you had a story.

 

Even if the main characters were dogs - or possibly BECAUSE of that.

 

We're heading back to the 1950s in Lady and the Tramp.

 

Tome Thursday: The Death Ring Mystery

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to our deliciously steampunk-y and fun world of ghost talkers!

 

Yep, you read that bit right.

 

We covered the FULL series by Byrd Nash before on this blog, but we've now spun out to the spin-off that she's releasing at the moment.

 

I say this even as the latest release, the third in the row, is supposed to hit shelves on March 24.

 

Mark those calendars, people!

 

Lots of bookish stuff is happening then.

 

But before we get to THAT, we have to first chew our way through this little mystery.

 

And boy, it's one of those ridiculously FUN ones.

 

Buckle up, don't put any strange rings on your fingers, and let's take a look at what's happening in The Death Ring Mystery.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Avatar

 

"I see you."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the blog.

 

This week, we're taking a little break from Bollywood so that I can backtrack to some other favourites I have.

 

To be honest, I'm actually going to be diving into Disney again pretty soon, if I'm looking at some of my scribbled notes correctly, er, reading them I mean, though it does look like chicken scratch.

 

But before that, we have to go back.

 

And I mean, WAY back.

 

Seventeen years back, to be exact, which is ... something. Then again, the LOTR trilogy is hitting those 20 year milestones, and I'm sitting here like WUUUUUT.

 

Without further ado, let's go back in time, back into space, and back into sci-fi, bby!

 

There's more than one movie now but, back then, it was only the one Avatar.
