Tome Thursday: Velvet Thorns

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the blog.

 

I know I unfortunately had to take a mini break this past Tuesday, but that's because real life just CONSPIRED against me, and I spent most of my time either at work, or sleeping off being work-tired.

 

Here I am now though, with a pretty banger of a book that literally JUST released.

 

Like, it released yesterday.

 

I can't be any more on the nose about it than that.

 

Lea Rose has quickly shot right up to my favourite authors list with Where We Burn, and I'm now determined to read her other books as well because, hello, when you find an author you really like, that's what you do.

 

I'll slowly but surely collect them all on here for your reviewing pleasure while I'm at it.

 

So without further ado, to tonight's book of choice: Velvet Thorns.

 

Sunday: Reunion

Talkie Tuesday: Jane Got A Gun

"You don't need a gunslinger - you need a goddamn regiment."

Hello everyone!

My movie blog this week is of a movie that's been sitting in my notebook for a while now. For some reason I kind of postponed it - okay, well, I know the reason. Game of Thrones happened right around the time when I watched the movie so I then decided to post recaps of episodes per week instead of doing regular movie blog posts. 

Now I'm back to my regular schedule after trying not to get a heart attack while watching the second season of Scandal (yeah, it's THAT good, really).

So I think the first time I got wind of this movie, Jane Got A Gun, it was in a movie theatre prior to seeing something else, and it didn't catch my eye because it had Natalie Portman in it (although that's reason enough, in my opinion), nor did it catch my eye because it was a western movie that looked as though it was plenty fun.

To be perfectly honest, the reason why I wanted to watch it was because, besides Portman, it had two other actors I knew: Ewan McGregor and Joel Edgerton. 

For those less movie-savvy: all three of the above-mentioned actors played together in the Star Wars Prequel episodes, so this movie was kind of a reunion for them.

(Saturday) Sunday Snippet: High School Reunion

Hey everyone!

Super late on this one, but I mean, I got in a bit later than I'm used to yesterday after my high school reunion. It was an absolute blast and super fun, it was so good to see everyone again! Well, almost everyone, but it was certainly a better turnout than whe expected it to be.

We had dinner, told stories, looked at old photos, and in general enjoyed one another's company.

And that's what it's all about, right?
