Talkie Tuesday: Twilight

 

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Yep, we're going there.

 

I've honestly wanted to watch these and put them on the blog FOREVER, but never had enough time or I forgot, and then something else happened and totally distracted me.

 

Not this year, though.

 

Nope, this year, I'm doing things the only way I want to, which is to say, I'm watching these again.

 

It's literally been at least a decade since I saw them last in entirety, or on purpose. Used to be my mom would watch these non stop, so here I am doing this for her as well LOL.

 

You all know what I'm talking about.

 

Before we head into our Christmas blog extravaganza, we're heading back to Forks, bby.

 

And we're starting it off with Twilight.

 

Tome Thursday: Threshing Day

 

Hello everyone!

 

Ready to not die?

 

I'm super on time with this book, for once, because its release isn't actually all that far behind us, where I would usually take literal years to get to some of the stuff LOL.

 

But what can I say, I'm in love with The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros, and so I'm naturally going to grab whatever she publishes in this vein.

 

I'd also like to say something else here: WE WILL GET BOOK FOUR WHEN WE GET IT. This isn't a GRRM situation. We know she is ACTIVELY writing. This series is the biggest thing to hit publishing shelves since ACOTAR, and she knows this. LEAVE THE WOMAN ALONE AND LET HER DO THINGS HER OWN WAY.

 

Now that THAT'S out of the way ...

 

Ready to return to Basgiath War College and peer into the minds of some other cadets, not just Violet Sorrengail? Yes?

 

Then grab your flight leathers. It's time to get our dragons in Threshing Day!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Victoria's Secret 2026

 

"The biggest fashion show on Earth."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog post.

 

As mentioned last week, I'm absolutely taking a brief look at Victoria's Secret yet again.

 

And, yet again, I find myself in more of an 'eeeh' state of mind, honestly.

 

I don't really know what it is, because used to be, I was genuinely excited to tune in and watch the show, no matter when it aired, and I was paying attention to the models who would be walking, the Fantasy Bra news, that sort of thing.

 

This new-old thing they're doing, bringing it back and whatnot?

 

I really don't know. It's just not the same somehow, and I suppose a lot of it has to do with the times we live in as well.

 

So without further ado, everybody: the fashion show of 2026!

 

Tome Thursday: Emika and the Sekai no Kami no Kokoro

 

Hello everyone!

 

Something a little different tonight.

 

I actually wasn't sure whether or not I'd be reviewing this one on the blog - I always review any copy of a book I get or buy on Goodreads, because of course I do, but I read MUCH more than ever makes its way on here.

 

There's just too much!

 

And I have too little time for it all LOL

 

However, by the time I wrapped this particular ARC, I decided that I actually wanted to talk about it a little, as I've featured the author on here before, and so there's some reference points to be made.

 

Of course every book is different, and so is this from the previous one, but that's beside the point.

 

For the time being, we'll be diving into this new, fantastical world that H. L. Dawson has created. It's definitely worth a shot.

 

Come with me as I tell you a bit about Emika and the Sekai no Kami no Kokoro! 

 

Talkie Tuesday: Victoria's Secret 2025

 

"The biggest fashion show on Earth."

 

Hello everyone!

 

A little change of pace tonight on the blog.

 

I'm sure you might have seen this coming, if you know me at all.

 

I usually end up watching this show even if I initially say I won't - which I think I said after the 2024 one that left me distinctly unimpressed.

 

And yet, here we are. LOL.

 

But I figured, seeing as this year's show is literally just around the corner - it airs this coming Sunday, October 18 - I might as well have a brief look back on the show I already watched, but never reviewed.

 

Yes, unfortunately, this one also didn't hit the mark whatsoever,

 

Without further ado: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2025.

 

Tome Thursday: Tallow and Bone

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's book of choice.

 

It's one I am so very, very excited to be sharing with you!

 

Rhiannon Hargadon is an author you don't just randomly come across on a Tuesday, but that's pretty much what happened to me ...

 

... and it's been the best decision of my life to continue reading every. single. book. she releases.

 

Because they are wonderful.

 

They are glorious.

 

They're special in that, I also have a vested interest in seeing them do well in the world, as I get to be one of the first to read them during the pre-launch era.

 

So I'm not going to wax any more poetic (at this point ...) but instead, hop right into the book itself.

 

Tallow and Bone, everybody!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Chhaava

 

"Whenever terror and cruelty rise on Earth,

a great soul is born to protect it."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I owe you an apology first.

 

Unfortunately, working the job I do, sometimes my shifts are a little bit on the crazy side, and my sleep schedule suffers as a result.

 

That's not to say I physically CAN'T sit down and write, the problem is that my only writing times are either right before bed, or if I get up early enough so that I can whip something together and then post it.

 

And a lot of the time, I kinda need to not be sleep deprived since I deal with money at work LOL.

 

So last week was a bad bust on that account, and HOPEFULLY this week doesn't turn into the same chaotic mess!

 

That out of the way, I can now confidently sail into this week's blog post. 

 

Without further ado, we're heading right back into Bollywood, because of course we are, and having a gander at the historic epic, Chhaava.
