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.

 

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.
