Talkie Tuesday: Poldark, cont.

"My true, real, and abiding love is not for her. 'Tis for you.

She will never come between us again."

Hello everyone!

This weekend saw the end to the second season of Poldark, and I have to say I'm going to miss these ridiculous people from Cornwall. Not only did they give us heaps of entertainment, they've also managed to tug on everyone's heart strings along the way and for me, personally, the fervent wish to bash my head against the wall a couple of times. 

Ahem.

That being said, the last five episodes of the season were a whirlwind of emotions, jagged edges and reality checks, which I did applaud and exult over.

After all, you can't necessarily live in the 18th century and act the way you do without some form of consequence, even if you aren't expecting it! Right?

Still, it's now time to hang up our tricorns and wait for season three to premiere, but to tide us all over there are eighteen episodes from start to finish of Poldark so far, and a preview of what's to come. For those even more impatient, you can read the books to find out what happens.

In the meantime, on to the review!

Tome Thursday: Poldark 1-4

Hello everyone!

I'm picking up the pace with my reading a little bit, because even though I've been working quite a bit in the past couple of weeks, I've found that reading does in fact help me relax a whole lot more despite my initial thought that I couldn't focus on anything beside the manuals and stuff.

But all the same, some of the books I've read have been very mindless, very easy, and definitely not as time-consuming as you'd think.

Of course, there have been exceptions to this rule. After all, rules (about books) were made to be broken.

I'm a bit behind with my watching of Poldark, I have yet to see the latest episode but luckily for me, I'm actually AHEAD of BBC in terms of reading through the books. Since season two is an adaptation of books three and four, and I've finished four, I think I have quite a good jump ahead on the lot, don't you?

This blog post will briefly cover the first four books in the Poldark saga, without going into too much detail since there ARE four of them, not just one.

So, without further ado, let's get into it!
