Tome Thursday: Breed for the Beast

 

Hello everyone!

 

Hear me out.

 

Before you roll your eyes, scoff, and close the window down because of just what the title of this book is, let me try and sell it to you first.

 

I promise, it's actually a hell of a lot better than what it sounds.

 

It does, of course, also have them sexy, smutty scenes, and there's a list of kinks and warnings right at the beginning of it, HOWEVER.

 

Like I mentioned previously, but going through these Irish mafia books, the plot keeps thickening and actually gaining momentum more than the characters having sex does.

 

I'd never have believed it if I didn't read it for myself, and the only reason I actually kept reading was because there keeps being more plot padding added to the stories.

 

This one's got the best of all so far, actually.

 

So why don't you stick along for the ride with Breed for the Beast?

 

Talkie Tuesday: Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

 

"Sometimes, the youngsters in the house show the right path to the elders in the family."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back ... again.

 

I'm not even going to apologize anymore.

 

At this point, it's safe to say that I'm in my Bollywood era, which means that I'm trying to cram as many of these into my psyche as I possibly can, within reason of being able to watch that is, since binge-watching anything is out of the question for me.

 

My eyes and head need breaks!

 

But this movie caught me right in the feels, and while I PROMISED myself I'd hit pause at the intermission (a regular, sure thing in these old Bollywood classics), I knew I didn't have work the next day so I kinda just ... kept watching. LOL.

 

I've since watched it two times already, and will probably do so again very soon. There's a reason this thing is called a classic! 

 

Let's have a look at Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

 

Tome Thursday: Letting Go

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back.

 

Tonight, we're going to take a look at a very special book that I REALLY wanted to talk about, but ended up needing to take a mini break because, well, life happened.

 

Anyway.

 

So most of you know (or should know, based on this blog of course) that I'm a religious fan of Serenity Woods and a part of her ARC team.

 

Well, she was spreading the word about a writing friend of hers, Ms Angela Day, who was going to be launching her first book in a small town contemporary series, and who at the time was looking for some readers to, you know, get things going.

 

Turns out she's an absolute sweetheart. And guess who got so very kindly sent an ARC of this first book of hers?

 

Ladies and gentlemen, Letting Go.

Talkie Tuesday: Long Lost Christmas

 

"Love's a risk, but it's the one thing that makes life worth living."

 

Hello everyone!

 

We only have a few days left until Christmas ACTUALLY arrives.

 

How crazy is that?!

 

I have no idea where the time has gone, but I'll say this: it obviously had a VERY good time, all things considered.

 

There's only about ten days left before the year turns as well, and I'm over here thinking to myself how and where.

 

But me maudlin will certainly not make this blog post write itself now, will it?

 

I've decided to finish off my Christmas movie marathon with the segment of Hallmark that I tend to enjoy more than Countdown to Christmas, which is Miracles of Christmas.

 

I don't know, the mysteries seem to get me!

 

And Long Lost Christmas might not have fired on all cylinders, but it definitely fired on some.

Talkie Tuesday: Black Widow

 

"Your pain only makes you stronger." 

Hello everyone!

Week two of our Marvel catch-up is here and we're back on the grind, but this time it's at least with a character that I've known and loved since pretty much the beginning of MCU.

Listen, I love me Peter Parker, too, but ... maybe not this particular one.

Black Widow, however, was one of those I always wanted more information about.

She was our window into SHIELD besides Coulson, and she was a total badass who managed to keep up with gods and super-soldiers just by being spectacularly trained, skilled and disciplined.

And yes, it helps that Scarlett Johansson pretty much NAILED the role once she was cast.

But having said all that - I'll say this movie suffers. A lot. And it suffers mainly from the incredibly ridiculous decision from the higher-ups, who didn't include this one in the chronological lineup of the Infinity Saga.

Before I get too far into that, though, let's just figure out what's what, shall we? Black Widow, enter, stage right!

Talkie Tuesday: God of War 2018

 

"We are not men. We are more than that. The responsibility is far greater."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Yeah okay, I keep on sort of cheating in this section. SUPPOSEDLY this is where movie reviews go if you look, but I haven't had time to watch many movies consistently in a little bit.

 

Ergo, I have to make do with the rest.

 

And I mean it's not that I'm complaining here, given the fact that the reviews I do eventually post are pretty darn good if I do say so myself, in terms of the topics I choose and the eventual format they take on once I'm done with them.

 

So tonight, as my first official blog post upon my return from vacation, here we are.

 

With another game review, potentially one of the best games of all times released in the recent decade or so.

 

I'm not the only one saying it, by the way, there are others saying the same thing.

 

God of War, the 2018 edition and fourth major installment in the franchise, is here to Spartan Rage.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Sweet Carolina

 

"Sometimes things don't go as planned."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So as you know, my general interest in Hallmark channel movies tends to show its face every once in a while because, really, as if I don't have OTHER movies I have yet to catch up on.

 

Sure I do.

 

Hallmark is just conveniently right there all the time.

 

To be fair though I could just not watch some, but that hasn't happened yet and I doubt it will, so here we go yet again.

 

Tonight's movie is actually the first one I was KINDA okay with overall, which is a spectacular bump upwards from the rest of them this 2021 movie year when they've generally disappointed me thus far for some reason.

 

And yet not even this one was completely acceptable, at least not to me, but maybe I'm becoming too picky or something.

 

Sweet Carolina, here we go.

Talkie Tuesday: WCTH Home for Christmas

"Home is truly where the heart is."

Hello everyone!

And so with my final Christmas-themed movie review, we say farewell not only to December, but to 2019.

Hopefully the year has treated you well, and you've made all the plans you need for 2020. Fingers crossed they all work out for you!

In the meantime, it's time to make a Christmas pit-stop one last time with our movies.

Come January it's back to Hogwarts (or not Hogwarts, as may be the case with the final stages of Mr. Potter's journey), so let's try and soak up all that's left of this Christmas spirit, shall we? After all, it'll be a full year before we can get into it again.

What better way to say goodbye than with When Calls the Heart?

The show that captured hearts around the globe with its message and persevering spirit, and which keeps going despite every obstacle and hurdle thrown its way.

Because even and especially in When Calls the heart, it's time to come Home for Christmas.
