Tome Thursday: Gray Lady

 

Hello everyone!

 

A full April spent perusing and browsing through a single book series.

 

What could possibly be better, I ask you?

 

While the previous three books could be picked up on BookSirens - the lovely, lovely online resource for readers and writers alike when it comes to exchanging ARCs and reviews - this one was only available to the people lucky enough for Ms Nash to specifically choose for her team.

 

I count myself extremely honoured and humble to be a part of it.

 

And I am LOVING this series.

 

Like, seriously!

 

When all is said and done, this is a magnificent slow burn paranormal-based romance, and I truly wish that everyone would pick up a copy to read. It's just THAT good.

 

So without further ado - we return to the realm of ghosts tonight, in Gray Lady.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Mandalorian

 

"This is the way."

 

Hello everyone!

 

And I hope you've enjoyed the ride which Disney+ was so happy to arrange for us over the past two months together.

 

Of course there's people out there who are unhappy and a ton of rumours are bopping around.

 

It happens with anything and everything these days. Social media and the internet in general seem to be starved and take even just someone casually turning their head to the very next level of OHMYGOD THEY'RE GOING XYZ!!!

 

I swear I sometimes think I'm living in Bizarro world.

 

BUT that said, I know I absolutely loved the past two months, and can't believe they're already over.

 

How does time fly by SO fast?!?

 

So without further ado, let's not waste any more of it. Because we have a lone gunslinger in the wild, wild West of a galaxy far, far away and his baby to check in with, in the third season of the acclaimed hit series, The Mandalorian.

 

Saturday Snippet: Appreciation

 

 

The guy needs some appreciation after all the f-ups.

Tome Thursday: Spirit Guide

 

Hello everyone!

 

Yes, yes we are back to spirits and ghosts and some poltergeists to top it all off.

 

I'm honestly super stoked about these novellas, or should I say short books because I don't think all of them qualify for novellas, but truth be told it's about what's in them rather than what the actual length of the book is.

 

And I've fallen in love with the characters.

 

Not just the main one either!

 

The supporting cast is absolutely stellar in my personal opinion, you have a core group and then some who flit in and out depending on when and how they're needed.

 

It's a smart decision not to overwhelm readers, I think, because sometimes you get books that introduce far too many people and then attempt to juggle everyone without losing focus. It doesn't always work out, so this is a much better logic.

 

Also, yes, it's an ARC! The first three were available on BookSirens. 

 

So come along with me and let's discover everything there is to find about Spirit Guide.

Talkie Tuesday: Jurassic World Dominion

 

"If we're going to survive, we'll have to trust each other."

 

Hello everyone!

 

A year after this was released in cinemas, I finally got around to watching the last entry in the Jurassic saga.

 

Then again, I haven't watched Episode IX yet either, and I think that one's been some time ago.

 

What can I say? Apparently, I sometimes need a LOT of time haha!

 

But I do actually love the dinosaur movies. I was a big fan back when I first accidentally stumbled over Jurassic Park on television at some point in time, and I've continued being a fan since.

 

Oddly enough, I also think that my parents really like the sequel trilogy as well, which can't be said about the originals because I'm reasonably sure my father was never the biggest dinosaur fan, but for some reason is okay with these three.

 

To each their own, right?

 

Without further ado, let's just jump straight in, because we've got some ground to cover. Jurassic World: Dominion has the last word to say, too.

Tome Thursday: Delicious Death

 

Hello everyone!

 

Back again with another really, really good book, and I can tell you right now straight off the bat that I'll be doing a speed-run through these that have already been published until I run out of material.

 

The best part?

 

There's two more still to come.

 

Or at least it's projected to cover six novellas and we're supposed to get a conclusion this year, which is always exciting, because I feel that as readers we do often have to sit and wait for what feels like forever to get to a certain point (looking at you, Martin and Rothfuss).

 

Byrd Nash isn't like that. She's also a lovely woman to chat to, so if you haven't picked any of her books up yet, I highly suggest you do so.

 

Last week we started on our journey with Ghost Talker, so this week it's only right and proper that we keep on keeping on with its sequel.

 

After all, ghosts - and ghouls - don't usually wait for anyone, so let's see what Delicious Death has to offer.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Wheel of Time Origins

 

"The Wheel of Time continues to turn." 

Hello everyone!

Honestly, I can't believe I didn't review these sooner.

Like, I know I'm usually behind stuff and all that jazz, but, come on now!

I suppose I re-discovered them after digging around the internet a bit about whether or not we might see the second season of Wheel of Time at any point soon, considering.

Then I read that another batch of these webisodes was supposed to start dropping back in August 2022 - and nothing happened!

I swear, at this point I have no idea what Amazon's doing.

Their marketing strategy seems to be all over the place, and incredibly bad about some stuff. Have they never looked at other giant corporations and how they do it? Disney? The works??

Apparently not, because let's face it, announcing a season three before season two airs, dropping a teaser trailer, and then going radiosilent is NOT it, chief.

So let's drum up some hype on our own, looking back at The Wheel of Time: Origins instead!

Tome Thursday: Ghost Talker

 

Hello everyone!

 

We're starting April off properly, with a good, old bang.

 

As you all know by now, I tend to meander around BookSirens and usually have between three to five books in the works from that particular site - because they're awesome like that.

 

I've mentioned them multiple times before: they're an online cross-roads where authors can list their ARCs up for grabs and readers can get them for free in exchange for reviews. It's honestly a really, really great site to have on your list if you're like me and love to read, but don't always want to head on down to the library or buy something you aren't sure of.

 

I tend to buy about three quarters of the e-books which I first have a look at on the site, though.

 

This one tonight is no exception!

 

I was suggested this one in one of their 'books you might like' e-mails, and because I'm a fan of whodunit mysteries it was a no-brainer, really.

 

Especially since it also promises a slow burn romance!

 

So here we go, everyone. Ghost Talker is the first novella of this six-part series, and tonight's reading of choice.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Next 365 Days

 

"Sometimes, the truth is complicated."

Hello everyone!

Urgh.

I kept putting this off as long as I possibly could, but when an April Fool's reminded me that there COULD be a part four, I figured I couldn't really keep away for much longer.

Then again I STILL haven't seen Episode IX so I'm really, really good at not watching things I don't want to.

This one was a so-so for me, because while I did in fact want to see the trainwreck, I knew it was going to be one and didn't think I needed it on a good weekend.

But I had some spare time this past weekend and decided, you know what? I can probably do this.

I barely could.

However I'm now all caught up which DOES say something about tenacity (or plain-ass pig-headedness) I suppose.

Because I survived The Next 365 Days. And I swear, these keep getting worse.
