Tome Thursday: The Village Phantom

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog.

 

I'm having a slightly surreal experience in that I'm typing this up at a VERY different time of day than my usual one - because I've fallen into the hole of C-dramas, and that means I somehow binged through eight episodes of one yesterday, going to bed late.

 

... the irony that they talk about how you should try and sleep enough and be in bed on time in this very drama is not lost on me.

 

I'll be reviewing it on my blog in the near future, so don't worry! You'll get all my commentary and reports haha.

 

But first and foremost, the book for tonight.

 

We're going back into the field where I first cut my teeth as a young reader, with Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, except it's Scandinavian this time.

 

And I was very lucky enough to have the author reach out to me for a review.

 

So without further ado: The Village Phantom!

 

Tome Thursday: Fated Salvation

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome back one last time to this trilogy.

 

I say 'this' because, I'm fairly sure that Ms Hefner isn't going to leave us hanging, but she'll make certain that she returns to writing dystopia which she does SO amazingly well.

 

As I've said before, I couldn't for the life of me get into the vampire stories she writes for some odd reason, because I do enjoy her writing style. But these, her dystopian trilogies? Oh sign me UP and sign me up AGAIN.

 

I'm actually kind of sad that this one's now over, it's a rather unique take and could really be pulled right out from our own world somehow, as well.

 

But enough about me and my mind processes.

 

We need to figure out whether the world as we know it is actually saved, or if it falls to the hands of an evil dictator.

 

Fated Salvation solves all those mysteries, and leaves us thirsty for more!

 

Tome Thursday: Repressed Echoes

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the weekly musings on books which tend to happen whenever I have too much time on my hands and figure out reading something's the best way to kill said time LOL.

 

Or, in other words, the weekly book blog!

 

This week we're returning to an author that I got to know via BookSirens, and actually got an email from them about another ARC being listed, something I squealed about.

 

Why?

 

Because it's another post-apocalyptic story, which I LOVED in Prevent the Past, but this one hits a little bit closer to home in that it, one: mentions the pandemic that happened, and two: it's about gratuitous drug use and more.

 

So it comes with a bunch of warnings but, it's honestly really, really awesome, and explores some pretty interesting (dangerous) concepts.

 

Let's dive right into Repressed Echoes, shall we?

 

Talkie Tuesday: Ibiza

 

"We are going to party all night!" 

Hello everyone!

In a slight departure for me I have a different movie review for you tonight, and I say departure because normally I don't touch movies like these.

I mean, I can see the appeal of them for large market audiences, but the style has just never suited me and probably never will, if I'm being honest.

However, a good friend of mine recommended I watch it, specifically for Richard Madden, so I was like, you know what, okay, what have I got to lose, really?

Nothing much, because at the end of the experiment this is the kind of movie where you turn your brains off and end up hopefully laughing some while you're at it! Which in essence makes it a little bit similar to what Hallmark puts out, actually.

Now THERE'S a thought!

So without further ado, let's just hop right into Ibiza, shall we?
