Saturday Talkie Tuesday: Shadowhunters 2A

"This is the hunt."

Hello everyone! 

So this week, admittedly, has not been the best in terms of what I'm doing on my blog and which posts I'm typing up for anyone who's reading this. I do apologise. I promise, this Tuesday is going to be back to normal with the review when it's supposed to be, although if it's true and there's a musical cross-over happening between Supergirl and The Flash, I may just have to review that one instead of a movie!

But I digress.

What happened this week was that Shadowhunters had its winter finale and OH MY GOSH everyone, but can I just say how amazing this show is?!

I never would have imagined it after a slightly rocky start in season one, but they're firing on all cilinders now and the only bad thing about it that I can think of is, well, that it's been broken up into two halves.

Season 2A has just finished, but we aren't getting to see 2B before JUNE.

That's right, JUNE. So, let's review what we know of Shadowhunters so far, okay?

Tome Thursday: The Bane Chronicles

Hello everyone!

A good friend of mine, who is just as much a devout Shadowhunter fan, convinced me I need to go back and sit to the second trilogy in the Mortal Instruments series, which is how I remembered, because I'm like that, that I had never, in all actuality, finished reading the collection of short stories concerning Magnus Bane.

THAT kicked me into super high gear, because Magnus might just be one of my all-time favourite characters, and coupled with Alec Lightwood it's easy to figure out just why I like him so much.

But he's quite likeable of his own accord, too!

Anyway, I first got into Cassandra Clare's books on a whim after starting Shadowhunters, and deciding I wanted to know more about this world of hers.

Then I realized I'd already read some of her things, those hilarious short diary entries about Lord of the Rings characters, and I fell with gusto on her original writings. I have to say I've enjoyed the lot of them so far even though it shows they were written for YA.

Some of the teenage stuff that happens in the books is ... well.

But with Magnus, there's a whole OTHER set of problems!
