Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall

"The Great War is here."


Hello everyone!

Even at the seaside, I can't resist the lure that is Game of Thrones. I mean, come on, who could?

Definitely not me. 

Besides, there's something incredibly poetic about watching a big-ass dragon torch anything and everything in front of him while I'm sitting on the large terrace listening to the sea on the beach not too far away.

But I digress.

The penultimate episode of the season left us with one big-ass WHAT just as the episode ended (and you can see I love the term big-ass; I'll be using it a lot when it comes to the dragons, sorry-not-sorry!), but also with a sense of ... hey, guy ain't fooling around no more.

Beyond the Wall promised a lot - and delivered.

Tome Thursday: Santa's Secret


Hello everyone!

The last of my movie-and-book blogs that's related to the holiday season, I swear! By January, I'm going to go back to my regular schedule and reviewing what comes my way in terms of non-Christmas-y and non-holiday spirit related.

Or so I hope, at least.

But in all honesty I couldnt resist adding this particular book to the pile because I was fortunate enough one afternoon in early December to be bored out of my skull and feeling the itch for some contemporary romance, in which case scenario I tend to turn towards three authors who have never failed me thus far: Kathryn Shay, Noelle Adams or Serenity Woods.

That afternoon the choice was Serenity Woods, and since it was December and I had made a pledge to myself to mostly read Christmas books this month, my pick for the day was Santa's Secret.

And boy, did I make a good decision about THAT.

It quickly became obvious (as in, about three subsequent rereads later) that this might be my favourite Christmas book.

DCs Cross-over Event: Heroes v Aliens

"Best. Team-up. EVER."


Hello everyone!


So, like I promised this past Tuesday, I switched up the line-up for my blog posts because of the awesome and amazing thing that was happening during the week. Because why would I want to spend a long time developing and writing a blog post about a movie that can wait when we had that cross-over to look forward to?

Okay, yes, heads up, I'm a DC comics fan. And a Marvel fan.

I am firmly convinced you can like both and not have to glare daggers at either camps because, let's face it, all the superheroes and villains in there are for our entertainment.

They probably wouldn't want to be the cause of disputes (if they were real!).

But then I can totally hear Mick Rory already snarling a very trademark 'Speak for yourself!'

Anyway, as you can tell, I'm a fan, I geeked out this week while it was happening, and now that it's over and done with I can finally review it!

Beam me up, Scotty!
