Talkie Tuesday: Sweet Revenge

 

"It could be nothing ... but it could be something."

 

Hello everyone!

 

See what's happened?

 

Yep, I'm back on that Hallmark channel grind, as I always seem to be as the fall months start coming in and whatnot, though I will admit I might have chosen some other movie to wrap up the summer blogs with.

 

However, I'd been waiting to watch this particular one for some time so I figured, why the heck not?

 

I enjoyed the original series and am looking forward to see what this new rebrand looks like; originally, it was called Murder, She Baked, which was a cute play on Murder, She Wrote, but for some reason the channel execs have decided to go for Hannah Swensen Mysteries from now on.

 

To be clear, as long as we GET some new mysteries, I'm down for it being called whatever.

 

I feel like this used to be a staple in programming, and I'm really happy it's back.

 

Sweet Revenge: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, is up next!

Tome Thursday: God of War

 

Hello everyone!

 

As you can see from the title of tonight's blog post, we're once again venturing into the land of Spartan rage, fickle gods, and the mortals who serve them.

 

I always enjoy looking up novelizations of certain videogames because they usually offer up additional information on a character, their story, and of course the central plot you can get familiar with if you play the game.

 

So when I fell head-first into the God of War franchise, I ended up finding not one, not even two, but THREE novelizations of three game titles.

 

I got into it with the latest installment, which means I'm really interested to read about it from that particular point, but that said I have a slightly OCD mind, and so if I see there are other books prior to the one I want in a series, I have to read those first.

 

I just ... I can't lol.

 

Which also helps me in a way as I learned a whole lot more about Kratos than I knew before I watched that gameplay on Youtube! So without further ado, here we go with the first book of God of War.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Quest for Camelot

 

"A knight's strength comes from the heart."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I finally return with an actual, movie-related blog post, which has been a bit lacking since I fell into the black hole of gaming on Youtube.

 

But never fear, I still have a list of stuff waiting to be watched, including but not limited to Black Widow, so here we go! Tonight's one is a blast from the past more than anything else. I mean, the movie IS 23 years old, which is as long as someone's lifetime.

 

Then again all the good movies seem to have the longevity to them at the end of the day so I'm not even remotely surprised that this is what happens.

 

Anyway, I'm rambling now.

 

Why don't I stop with my babble and jump straight into the important bits?

 

Aka, you know the story of the Sword in the Stone - but do you know, or do you remember, the story of the Quest for Camelot?

 

Saturday Snippet: Transition

 

This is basically what's happening now ... especially with cherry trees.

Man they're pretty when they bloom, but the falling leaves are 😂😅

Tome Thursday: Atlantis

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things with these blog posts and decided to pick a really, really good book for the first returning book blog after my summer vacation.

 

If you've been paying attention to this blog, you'll know I've definitely included works by this author in th past.

 

However, I've never ACTUALLY sat down and focused solely on the series he has going with his characters, which by now spans ten full books (and I have yet to read the last one, because for some reason I haven't gotten to it yet).

 

Anyway, I stumbled on said author rather randomly, I will admit, but since then have become a massive fan and I need to get physical copies of his books eventually.

 

For the time being, suffice to say that this is going to be a really good starting point for the rest of them, including the two I'd already done in the past.

 

Because it's all about history - I'm into history these days - and potentially alternative history too.

 

Brace yourselves, everyone. Atlantis is calling!

 

Talkie Tuesday: God of War 2018

 

"We are not men. We are more than that. The responsibility is far greater."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Yeah okay, I keep on sort of cheating in this section. SUPPOSEDLY this is where movie reviews go if you look, but I haven't had time to watch many movies consistently in a little bit.

 

Ergo, I have to make do with the rest.

 

And I mean it's not that I'm complaining here, given the fact that the reviews I do eventually post are pretty darn good if I do say so myself, in terms of the topics I choose and the eventual format they take on once I'm done with them.

 

So tonight, as my first official blog post upon my return from vacation, here we are.

 

With another game review, potentially one of the best games of all times released in the recent decade or so.

 

I'm not the only one saying it, by the way, there are others saying the same thing.

 

God of War, the 2018 edition and fourth major installment in the franchise, is here to Spartan Rage.
