Tome Thursday: Bewitching Winter

Hello everyone!

As I settle back into my usual routine and work on blog posts, I swear I keep getting distracted by all that I come across. It can be another book, a TV show, a movie, you name it, I'll probably turn all ADD and go OH LOOK!

This is what happened to me today, as I continue on with the After Cilmeri series and I can't seem to put the first proper book of it down. I mean, I get it, it's time travel, it's Wales in the Middle Ages which is another one of those tempting things, but I'll also admit the book has flaws, so why did I have to literally pry myself away from it to write this post?!

Who knows.

It's the same with Agatha Christie's Marple series - the show had to switch actresses halfway through and the new one isn't quite the same as the original, and yet I find myself rolling around the bed laughing like an idiot each episode I watch.

But I thoroughly digress. This blog post is about a book - continuing with Serenity Woods again, it's the third in her Four Seasons saga, Bewitching Winter.

Talkie Tuesday: Assassin's Creed

"Your destiny is in your blood.

Your blood is not your own. It belongs to the Creed."

Hello everyone!

A regular movie review for you this week, and I picked one of the newer ones I watched, though even this one couldn't exactly be called BRAND NEW, either.

That is to say, I picked it because I very recently watched a trailer for another movie entirely and the wordplay reminded me of this one. But I can't help myself - I accidentally stumbled across Dylan O'Brien and his trailer, saw a glimpse of David Suchet in it, and watched until the very end to try and figure out why, specifically, all these names and happenings are so familiar to me.

Of course then it turned out to be American Assassin, which, for those who don't know, is the first in the series of Mitch Rapp novels written by the deceased Vince Flynn.

At which point, I squealed.

I'm not ashamed to admit it! But that being said, I will share my endless enthusiasm for Mitch Rapp at a latter point, as right now we have a movie to review. Namely, Assassin's Creed.

Tome Thursday: Daughter of Time

Hello everyone!

It's Thursday and time for another book review.

This week, I went back in time - no, not literally, of course. Although wouldn't it be neat if someone did in fact figure it out? I'd probably totally go and visit, but staying there would be a bit of a catch. Unless, of course, someone invented some sort of machine that not only went back in time, but went into an alternate reality, because then you can bet all you own that I'd be off to Middle Earth before you could say Frodo Baggins.

Ahem.

My time-travelling episode came from picking up book one in a series I didn't realize I would end up liking, but it sounded like something to will away the time, so I thought to myself, why not.

See, I'm kind of wary of time travelling books, mostly because I've read Outlander, and nothing so far has been able to quite compare.

Daughter of Time by Sarah Woodbury, though, comes quite close.

What else is there to say this week?

Tome Thursday: Tempting Autumn

Hello everyone!

Back with another book review this week, and I also have to say I have FINALLY figured out how to schedule my blog posts.

I know, I know, where have I been living all this time, right?

Well, unfortunately, I don't usually have to think about scheduling in any event because I'm right by the computer in the evenings and I can press the 'publish' button without any kind of problem. But when I'm off with my friends or doing something else, then things might get a little bit difficult, so I tested it this Tuesday and TA-DA! It works!

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning haha!

Now on to what I'll be talking about here, which is another book by Serenity Woods, this one titled Tempting Autumn, the second in Ms Woods' Four Seasons series. 

And since it's basically autumn now, what better way to commemorate it?

Talkie Tuesday: Underworld Blood Wars

"There is no beginning, there is no end. There is only becoming."

Hello everyone!

So, alright. I kind of messed up with the whole 'I'm going to switch my Tuesday and Saturday posts' last week. 

I'll admit, it completely slipped my mind and also, with the rain we've been having (nothing even remotely close to Irma or what's happening to our neighbours in Croatia, however) it's been kind of difficult to focus on anything specific, outside of just slowly regrouping and gathering all the things I may need in the coming weeks.

Anyway, I'm back with a proper movie review this week, and I've chosen one of the older ones for the time being (or well, semi-old really) as opposed to the newer I'd watched while away at the seaside. I'll do one of those next week though!

Moving to the actual theme of this week, I picked Underworld: Blood Wars because I have an affinity for these vampire movies, mostly because I thoroughly enjoyed the first, humoured the second, loved the prequel, and had a love-hate relationship with the Awakening one.

I put all that aside for Blood Wars, however, because THIS was a proper Underworld movie.

Tome Thursday: Seducing Summer

Hello everyone!

Finally back on my usual blog posting routine, sort of, and I return with another set of goodies! I got the boxed set of Serenity Woods' Four Seasons a long time ago but never actually sat down to read through the books until very recently, so I decided I'd write up the reviews as I go along.

After all, as I've said before, Ms Woods is one of those people whom I usually turn to when it comes to needing a healthy dose of real life romance stories that don't leave me tearing my hair out.

Of course, there can always be hit-and-misses - I had one with Kathryn Shay the other day and I usually LOVE her books, as well - but I have yet to be disappointed in Ms Woods, something I'm profoundly thankful for seeing as I truly need this kind of pick-me-up occasionally.

So, without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the first of the four books - and it's actually fairly fitting that, as we say goodbye to summer here, I'd be talking about that season with the chosen book.

Seducing Summer, after all, rings a bell somewhere.

Talkie Tuesday ... oops

Hello everyone!

I've been busy just cleaning and unpacking and getting back into the usual routine I have here at home since arriving from the seaside and my late vacation, so I decided not to force this Tuesday's blog post but just to enjoy the day, and write something up by Saturday!

Hopefully this won't deter anyone from reading.
