Synopsis Saturday: Selena, the series Pt 2

 

"Always believe the impossible is always possible."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Well, we made it.
 
As in, if you've watched this show from start to finish at didn't at any point cry buckets or unleash a new river onto this unsuspecting world, you're a wizard.
 
And not the Harry Potter kind.
 
Netflix really hit it out of the park this year with its series lineup, but most especially with this biographical one, telling the story of the absolute fan favourite Tejano singer who unfortunately had her life tragically cut much too short.
 
I remember seeing the first part announcement teaser and being super stoked to finish it all up with the second ... until I realized just what that second part would mean.
 
But I persevered.
 
So grab your tissues and make sure you have plenty of time.
 
Because at the end of the day, Selena, the Series is all about love and family.

Tome Thursday: To Selena, With Love

 
Hello everyone!
 
As you can see, I'm wrapping this week up with another Selena appreciation blog post, this time with the book I picked up right after New Year's and probably devoured within a day or two.
 
Then again, I kind of wanted to read it before going into the television show, so I'd know some of what to expect!
 
And I have to tell you, it's good.
 
It's nothing complicated, it's nothing dramatic, and a lot of people might not find it interesting because it doesn't cover any massive, bombastic situations, but mostly Selena's normal, day-to-day life, specifically later after her marriage to her husband and how they went about their days.
 
I, personally, loved it.
 
And it's a different kind of pain to read about the husband's feelings after his wife is murdered. I think I bawled my eyes out over that chapter.
 
Anyway, this book needs no more introduction, so let's check out To Selena, With love, by her widower, Chris Perez.

Talkie Tuesday: Selena, the Series

 

"If you're too busy thinking about where you're going,

you don't really have a chance to enjoy the ride."

 
Hello everyone!
 
I've been binge watching like mad these past few weeks.
 
I also somehow managed to do something to my stomach in between, or I contracted something from my dad who had a similar thing happen to him last week or so, which has made me miserable as all get-out for a day or so but it LOOKS like I'm on the mend, finally!
 
And what else are you going to do when you're feeling poorly but binge watch, I ask you?
 
It's just one of those things, though tonight's blog post has been finished much, much earlier.
 
See I've now discovered Netflix, and this is dangerous. LOL
 
After finishing up Bridgerton I moved on to the other show I really wanted to see (there's a few more on there but I'll be taking my time with those), so I switched easily and just went through it in about ... was it two or three days? Something like that.
 
But then I've always been a sucker for good music.
 
Selena, the Series has that in spades!
