Tome Thursday: Dance for Daddy

 

Hello everyone!

 

Something a little less conventional from me tonight.

 

Or, unconventional, rather.

 

Then again I kind of ran across this author completely by accident, I think. I don't even fully memorize how or when I pick something up in terms of books, so this one either got me through Instagram, a recommendation, or someone on Goodreads reading it from my friends and me thinking, why not.

 

See, every once in a while, I pick a book up that's more smut than plot.

 

I call it a brain reset.

 

It doesn't require more from me than sitting there leafing through it, and the plot, however little of it there is, is brief enough that it doesn't make me bend over backwards to understand anything.

 

That's exactly what happened with tonight's book of choice.

 

Without further ado: Dance for Daddy.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl

 

"It's the circle of life."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Tonight, I have a very special blog post for you.

 

And no, it's not because it's really long, or intricately detailed, or hyperlinked into outer space.

 

It's because it's so nostalgic.

 

Or at least, it's generally nostalgic, I should think, and should be for pretty much anyone who opens it up to read it, unless you've just crawled out of your diapers and need time to learn this subject some more, in which case come back in a couple of years.

 

But I digress.

 

Disney Plus being what it is - big corporation background aside - you can watch pretty much anything and everything your heart desires on it. Tonight's choice is no exception.

 

So without further ado, let's travel down memory lane, with The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl.

 

Tome Thursday: G is for Ghost

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm on an afternoon shift after a while and I'll tell you what, writing this blog post in the wee hours of the morning feels a little strange after having done this every afternoon for about a month haha.

 

But we're back with a cozy story tonight!

 

I've been a fan of Dina Marie since I accidentally picked up the first book in her series, Going Ghost, and I haven't stopped since.

 

Sure, is her main character sometimes comically silly?

 

Does she make some of the most ridiculous mistakes that look positively cartoonish on occasion? Also true.

 

But that doesn't detract from the general vibe of these books, wherein you get to visit Salem, look around the landmarks a little, meet some interesting people, catch up with favourites, and overall have a pretty relaxing time, even while there's a murder investigation going on.

 

That takes some skill, honestly.

 

So let's hop right back into the Salem Spirits series with G is for Ghost.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Outlaw King

 

"No more chivalry. Now we fight like wolves."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Tonight's choice has been floating around for a while.

 

And honestly, I had EVERY intention of watching it just as soon as I could, and then ... then, IDK what happened.

 

But on a random whim this past weekend, I finally flicked through the Netflix movie library to unearth this one, though I have to admit that I didn't even remember the correct title, accidentally landing on The King first before I bounced to this.

 

In my defense, there's a lot of kings running around the silver screen! LOL.

 

Without further ado, let's travel back in time to Scotland - ah, bonnie Scotland.

 

We'll be having a look at a failed rebellion, a successful one, wondering where Mel Gibson went off to, and plenty other subjects while also trying to discover why we need a full frontal nude shot that makes about zero sense, all wrapped in one movie package.

 

Which movie, you ask? And I answer: Outlaw King.

 

Tome Thursday: Magicom

 

Hello everyone!
 

Welcome to this week's bookish blog post.

 

And apologies for missing last week's. Unfortunately, RL conspired against me so I had to be responsible for a bit and skip some of the things I otherwise love dearly.

 

Don't you just hate when that happens?

 

Either way, I'm back tonight, and unless there's more unforeseen problems on the horizon, I'm hopeful I won't have to be skipping anything else any time soon!

 

Onwards.

 

Tonight's choice of book is another ARC I was very kindly sent by a lovely Goodreads author, which I totally wasn't expecting, by the way. I generally don't jump around waving ARCS AHOY THIS WAY! haha.

 

But I picked it up, and was very easily and quickly hooked. It's just that kind of a great book, you see. So why don't we take a brief look what I'm talking about with Magicom?

 

Talkie Tuesday: Eyes of Wakanda

 

"For Wakanda."

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome back to the MCU, featured on this blog.

 

I used to do a whole lot more of these posts, but I've kind of fallen off the bandwagon since then, so to speak.

 

Then again, I'm firmly convinced that the MCU already had its golden age during the Infinity Saga, but that's just me.

 

I'll definitely be seeing SOME movies still, but I'm just not as into it as I used to be, you know?

 

However, I love me a good anthology.

 

Disney Plus tends to release them every once in a while, and this one was definitely no exception to the rule.

 

So hold on tight as we travel through time with the Hatut Zaraze in Eyes of Wakanda!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Tales of the Underworld

 

"Don't be afraid - be ready."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to another tale out of the galaxy far, far away. 

 

Tonight's choice is third in this new format Disney's been producing for a little bit now - or well, I say third, but it's actually been since 2008 with The Clone Wars that things have been in motion.

 

Every once in a while, they take a look at someone who's not necessarily a Skywalker, too.

 

Or a Kenobi, come to think of it.

 

Tonight, we're headed back into the belly of the beast to look at two of the fandom's favourite characters, who're potentially either morally grey, or straight up evil, depending how you look at it.

 

When all's said and done though, they're awesome characters and it's no wonder the fans love them so.

 

Without further ado, let's take a look at Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld!
