Talkie Tuesday: Mardaani 2

 

"Every woman goes through the test of fire every day."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I have a treat for you tonight.

 

It's quite a potentially disturbing one, however, so please read with caution.

 

Because apparently, I stumbled upon cinematic masterpieces that STILL somehow manage to describe situations that should be brought to light much more often.

 

I'm truly a fan of those types of things.

 

Which means that, tonight, we're headed back to India and its Bollywood industry.

 

I promise that's definitely not all I watch (I'm currently obsessed with Pursuit of Jade, for example), but it's certainly a massive portion of what I DO watch for entertainment sake.

 

And when I find a niche I like, I tend to stick to it, because it usually has a lot to give me.

 

Which is why we're continuing with a movie series, and heading into Mardaani 2.

 

Tome Thursday: The Last Gospel

 

Hello everyone!

 

Returning to my beloved Jack Howard series tonight.

 

And when I say beloved, I mean it.

 

I think I read the first six books front to back countless times, loving every single adventure Jack and Kostas ended up in. When I finally got the chance to own the books outright, I LEAPED.

 

I didn't even double check the landing.

 

I just did.

 

Now my mission is to gather them all here on the blog for your reading pleasure, because I understand some might not have the time for the books in full, some might not know about them, and some need reminders before going into the next one.

 

That's okay, I gotchu!

 

We won't stall anymore at all, but dive straight down into the depths of this mystery that's about to unfold before us: The Last Gospel.

 

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.
