Tome Thursday: One Night Before Christmas

 

Hello everyone!

 

Merry Christmas and warmest wishes for the holidays for you and yours, and hopefully you've spent these past two days or so with the people you love the most, doing all the things that make life with them special.

 

If nothing else, despite their occasional cheesiness, holidays usually remind us that we should sometimes slow down and stop, to just EXIST for a heartbeat or two.

 

I know I'm definitely guilty of running around like the world is ending tomorrow, so these two days have been a godsend!

 

Now back to the bookish business.

 

As you know by now, Serenity Woods is my go-to contemporary romance writer, and in fact, I've actually been SLACKING because I haven't done my usual holiday reads of hers this year yet.

 

Shame on my family and my cow!

 

I'll be working on that, and in the mean time, I invite you to enjoy her latest holiday release, aptly titled One Night Before Christmas.

Talkie Tuesday: Eurovision

 

"You're stuck on me like a tattoo."

 

Hello everyone!

And welcome to a very short little fluff piece about the previous week when we once again saw the biggest European music competition come and go.

Seeing as it's a yearly event (that only got cancelled once in 2020 for obvious reasons), it's not like it was a one and done or anything, but each year usually brings something with it we haven't seen before.

I can't decide what this was during this current year besides the very obvious, but we'll do our best.

I also managed to completely conk out right after the competition part of the show, so I missed the fun bits!

It's never about the competition so much as it is about the accompanying acts that come one, come all.

Considering it was hosted by one of the "Big Five", it makes sense that the spectacle was something to see.

So without further ado, let's have a quick look at this year's Eurovision.

I'll have some impressions for you all come Tuesday!

Talkie Tuesday: Coronation Weekend 2023

 

"God save the King!"

 

 

I'm kinda-sorta cheating this week, but truth be told I wasn't paying attention to much else (besides family) while the coronation weekend was happening in the United Kingdom.

 

So I leave you with a collection of images from these last couple of days!

Tome Thursday: Faking Love with the Billionaire Boss

 

Hello everyone!

 

I hope you'll be just as excited about this week's book selection as I am, because I've read it twice by now and I cannot WAIT to get it in paperback edition.

 

I'm circling back to my one true love, books written by Serenity Woods, as you can imagine.

 

The great thing about finding an author who you genuinely enjoy as much as I enjoy reading Ms Woods' books is that, if you're extremely lucky, they may be writing and writing and writing, and you know you have SO many more books to look forward to in future!

 

Take this one, for example.

 

It wraps up a tentative trilogy - though I don't think it was initially planned that way - while also introducing us to the hero of the NEXT trilogy starter, all in one go.

 

Not to mention it features all of our favourites from the first two books as well as my absolute favourite characters of them all, really.

 

So enough about me just chattering about this, and let's just get on with it, shall we? Our choice tonight is Faking Love with the Billionaire Boss.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Yorkshire Vet

 

"It's the best job in the world, really." 

Hello everyone!

Tonight's blog post is a spotlight on a show that's become very near and dear to my heart, but ti's also a bit of a work-around, to be honest.

I ended up running out of time due to a situation in my family, so I couldn't really spend two or so hours watching a movie which I would then review here on the blog.

Things SHOULD be back to normal, or normal enough at this point, that next week, when February starts, movies should be making a come-back here on the blog. I have a nice line-up to go through and am definitely looking forward to sharing them!

Or catching up with them. Either way!

For tonight though, it's something different and something that's more educational than it is amusing - though there's enough amusement in it for everyone's taste as well.

I'm talking about The Yorkshire Vet.

Synopsis Saturday: The English Billionaire

 

Hello everyone!

 

As I promised on Thursday, here is the blog post that didn't make it during the week.

 

I might have been able to squeeze it in, but at the same time I was quite busy and also the official release of the e-book isn't until today, so I figured I'd postpone the whole thing and just publish it on the actual date to be safe.

 

So here we are!

 

And if you're wondering about the book, well wonder no longer.

 

It's one of Serenity Woods', once again, but what were you expecting?

 

I think it may be quite obvious by now that Ms Woods may be my favourite contemporary author, and that's saying something considering how much I read on a general basis.

She's releasing the next book in her Billionaire Princes series, so obviously we're jumping right back into the land of New Zealand, handsome, kind men, and the women who fall in love with them.

The English Billionaire, here we come!

Talkie Tuesday: SAS Red Notice

 

"Psychopaths are incapable of love."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I have FINALLY stopped to watch this movie, even though technically it's been out in the world for a little bit now and most of the promotionals and reactions have already surfed about the world wide web up until this point.

 

But I was effectively busy with a lot of other stuff and other reviews until this weekend when I sat down to give it a go.

 

Now the thing here is that I mostly wanted to watch it for the lead actor, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I did find some of the supporting cast enjoyable to watch as well, but I'll admit that I wouldn't have been too fussed if some of them had been changed around. Either way, the lead was my ticket in, and that's about it!

 

Then again, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought along those lines lol.

 

If you've ever looked around the internet, you'll see that fan groups are probably one of the biggest banes in existence if you're not careful. This one at least seems mostly civilized for the time being.

 

But enough of my chattering! Time to dig into the business of this movie.

 

SAS: Red Notice is up.
