Talkie Tuesday: Reality Bites

 

"Inevitably, there are always surprises."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the delightfully delicious reviews that center all around Hannah Swensen and her moonlighting gig as a detective.

 

Honestly, the whole premise is cute, even if slightly unbelievable, but hey, we've seen way worse on this blog site.

 

The latest installment in the series FINALLY seems to establish a bit more ground in the romantic department, and here's to hoping the writing follows up on what's already been TWO invitations to a date, or else we riot.

 

I mean, Hannah's already basically said yes twice.

 

So without further ado and more jabbering from me, let's get right down to the nitty-gritty, and figure out why this one didn't land as well as the others before it.

 

The resident baker-sleuth is back in Reality Bites!

 

Talkie Tuesday: A Sprinkle of Deceit

 

"Not again."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I seem to be in a rather mysterious mood at the moment. Or, at the very least, in a mood to solve a whole lot of mysteries, judging by the book blog from last week and this week's choice of movie review.

 

Yes, yes, I know, the inauguration was yesterday, blablabla.

 

Not really in the mood. I'd prefer something a lot more drama-friendly!

 

So here we are, returning to one of my usual favourite sleuthers that I kind of tucked away by the wayside to return to at some point or other. The movie I watched this weekend actually aired, er, well, in autumn of last year. They're releasing the newest installment this February so I thought to myself, you know what? Maybe I should catch up!

 

So I did.

 

And honestly, I keep forgetting how much I enjoy this light-hearted kind of thing where you don't have to use so much brain energy and just have fun.

 

Hallmark Movies and Mysteries serves a lot of that in A Sprinkle of Deceit.

 

Tome Thursday: As Beautiful as the Bay

Hello everyone!

In between being hard at work on a translating project, I found some spare time to type this blog post up and return to the gorgeous setting of New Zealand.

I mean, come on, is there any place on Earth more beautiful?

My sister would probably say Malta, but at the moment she's kind of biased and this might change to a different location soon - she knows why haha.

But yeah, for me, New Zealand is one of those places on my bucket list to visit, not only because of Peter Jackson's movies which were filmed there, but also because it reminds me a lot of my home country and I feel like it could be home away from home.

And reading Serenity Woods books just makes me want to go, alright? That, too.

Last week I started this trilogy reviews and I'm following up on my promise to stick to book two this week, so here we go, lovely readers.

As Beautiful as the Bay, coming right up.
