Talkie Tuesday: The Six Thatchers

"The Game is on."

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year! 

I hope that you've all celebrated with your loved ones and had an amazing time during the longest night between 2016 and 2017. I'll admit mine was spent very lazily, at home, watching the Police Academy movie marathon and going to bed before one o'clock.

I know, I'm hopeless.

BUT.

That being said, with 2017 now firmly in our midst, the new series, and new seasons are finally beginning!

I'm looking at you, Shadowhunters, but before I even nip at that particular episode (because I still have to watch it) I'm going to go into a review of what is quite possibly the most anticipated show besides Game of Thrones and probably Walking Dead.

Ladies and gentlemen, our favourite detective from Baker Street is back!

Happy New Year!

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.

Talkie Tuesday: When Calls the Heart Christmas

"Christmas comes but once a year."

Hello everyone!

So it took more than just one day which it usually does for me to finally find a good working link where I could watch the Christmas special When Calls the Heart put up for this holiday season. 

Now I've already written about the show and the books, I think, but in any event I shall check and link all my older posts down below as is my custom when I'm trying to make sense of everything that's come before (and at this point, trust me, it looks as though the only way for me to keep track is by using keywords all around).

In any event, however, I managed to watch the hour and a half special which I had honestly thought would be shorter, but luckily for me it wasn't!

I've missed these characters and their everyday problems, because the thing that initially drew me to the show wasn't the drama or anything of the sort, but what a person would have to get through in an average day on the Canadian frontier.

Plus, I will admit that I have a bit of a crush on Constable Thornton.

Saturday Snippet: Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Tome Thursday: A Secret Parcel

Hello everyone!

Christmas is now LITERALLY just around the corner, and I can honestly say that it's looking to be a good one.

Then again, I suppose I have the benefit of my family all being at home already, all the family gatherings scheduled and arranged for through the weekend, and then some, and of course there's a whole lot of great stuff to catch up on!

But, since it IS Thursday, and I'm trying to keep up, here's a book blog post for all of you, in the Christmas spirit of course.

Because why would you want to read anything that ISN'T Christmasy when you can so easily get into the holiday cheer with the right book you can leaf through? Besides, I have a trilogy to wrap up so that I can honestly say I've finished yet another book series.

And I mean, I HAVE been talking about billionaires for the past three weeks or so, maybe even a bit longer. There isn't much that can beat that.

Without further ado, let's get into A Secret Parcel, by Serentiy Woods!

Talkie Tuesday: The Spirit of Christmas

"Twelve days isn't nearly enough."

Hello everyone!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Meaning, I'm overdoing it with Christmas movies this week. Tonight on the menu is one of my all-time favourites, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (and coincidentally the only Jim Carrey movie I can actually watch), but yesterday I was watching something else. 

You know this season is one of those when ALL the cheesiness comes out in spades, but then again this is probably one of the only times per year when it's actually allowed.

So yeah, I watched a semi-cheesy movie. Actually, talking to a friend of mine, we classified it as 'medium cheese' because, why not.

If I hadn't known any better I would have immediately said Hallmark was the one who produced it, but then Hallmark goes overboard with the cheese most of the time, and this one wasn't exactly there yet, though it was close.

All in all, however, it had a fairly reasonable female lead, a VERY good-looking male lead + glasses, and mystery!

I'm talking about The Spirit of Christmas.
