Tome Thursday: If Kisses Were Snowflakes

Hello everyone!

Today has been a rather busy day for me, but that said, I've been looking forward to sitting down and typing up this blog post, because it features one of my favourite books.

I think you may be sensing a trend here.

I don't believe I've ever run into more than one or two books written by Serenity Woods that I didn't like - and even then, it wasn't that I really didn't like them, I just didn't connect well enough with a character so I felt out of whack with the entire thing, and therefore missed the experience.

But ALL of her books are guaranteed to make you smile. Scout's honour!

I've been on a Woods reading binge ever since December began, going through her Three Wise Men series (I still have to read Matt's book one more time) and generally just picking up her Christmas-y titles.

This one is DEFINITELY one of those, because believe it or not, it's part of her Christmas Wishes book series, a set of standalone books that are all set in Christmas time.

As they say, If Kisses Were Snowflakes - I'd send you a snowstorm.

Talkie Tuesday: Warcraft

"Is war the only answer?"

Hello everyone!

Okay.

I will admit. I'm a bit of a fantasy nut.

I can honestly HEAR people who know me going 'Oh, REALLY?' in the most sarcastic tones ever, but really, I haven't actually sat down to write something very, very fantasy-like in a while now.

And then I remembered this gem I decided to watch some time ago.

The movie itself is already a year old, so to be honest I'm out of the loop and definitely late into the game, and it's been a while since I've seen it so there's been a lot of back-and-forth for me to remember just what, precisely, was going on back in the thing itself.

Also, I have to be honest with you: my main reason for trying this on for size was the fact that Travis Fimmel was cast in one of the lead roles.

I mean, have you seen Vikings? You probably have. If you've seen the show, you know you NEED to see anything and everything Fimmel does in his career, because he's just that good. And, yeah, okay, I wanted to see if his accent would be different to the one he had as Ragnar.

Ergo, without further ado, allow me to introduce Warcraft!
