Tome Thursday: The Ruby Circle

Hello everyone!

Back in February, I wrote a quick little review about The Silver Shadows, the fifth book in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series, and obviously I was late in doing so because it took a while for the physical book to arrive (I did have the electronic version, but truth be told I enjoy reading these ones in their original forms). Which meant I was pretty much just weeks away from the publishing date of The Ruby Circle, the sixth and final installment in the series, as well as the much-anticipated grand finale of the whole saga begun with the Vampire Academy years back.

Cue my excitement!

I can't even remember how or why I got into these books in the first place, I know for Twilight that I honestly wanted to know what the hype was about, and A Song o Ice and Fire was introduced to me on a weekend trip, but these books? No idea. I started reading Bloodlines because I loved the Vampire Academy series, and so it was sort of bitter-sweet for me to pick up the very last book (or it's last according to the author).

Talkie Tuesday: The Originals

Hello everyone!

So I'm cheating a bit today; my last few days have been spent running around or driving people and such, so watching movies wasn't exactly doable, but I did manage to catch The Originals this week on its actual date and not, like, five days after. In some ways, TV shows are so much more fun than movies because they have a continuity going on and last longer in a sense, but then again, a movie will always be a movie ... still, I believe I couldn't have picked a better show to talk about in this blog post. Unless it would have been Game of Thrones, but since the premiere of that is still months away ... let's just focus on the best, dysfunctional TV family that's graced our TV screens for the last couple of years, shall we?
