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!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Don't Go Breaking My Heart

 

"Broken hearts do heal."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I am back to my regularly scheduled movie reviews each Tuesday, now that Men in Kilts has ended and there is no more show episode in sight.

 

But I'm still in the throes of Hallmark films, because reasons LOL.

 

To be fair I've sort of picked out my favourites from the lineup they have this year, and I will say I think said lineup is actually much shorter and the choices narrower because of the pandemic, but it might just be my imagination.

 

In any event, however, there does seem to be less to choose from, and I choose every other weekend or so.

 

Mostly because this year has been a disappointment in movie choices, to say the least. Hallmark is either losing its magic for me or something else is happening! Who knows.

 

I'm just not as enamoured with everything as much as I used to be, though I will admit that there are still exceptions.

 

I just can't decide where Don't Go Breaking My Heart falls.
