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.
