Tome Thursday: The Lord of the Rings, pt. 2

I finished this yesterday and bawled my eyes out.

Again.

Yes, I'm one of those.

Game of Thrones: The Dragon and the Wolf

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Well, we made it. Yet another season over and we all still seem to be standing. Okay, sadly, Thoros isn't with us anymore, and lamentably we said bye-bye to a lot of nameless extras who happened to tag along in just the right places to be conveniently killed, but you know what I mean. 

We're almost at the hail Mary for this show!

Game of Thrones has consistently delivered, despite perhaps not having the exact political bangs going on as it did while Martin was still actively participating and the episodes were based off his actual books. Which, to be perfectly honest, is not the show's fault. The producers can't be expected to wait FOREVER until the guy finally decides how he's going to untangle the mess he created for himself.

Also, he's still around, you know, giving commentary. It's not like it's not approved.

But in any event, The Dragon and the Wolf was an episode EVERYONE looked forward to - and pretty much everyone was stoked about by the time it ended.

Tome Thursday: The Lord of the Rings

I'm honestly just detoxing and doing a lot of: sleeping, eating, reading, sleeping, not necessarily in that order, so I don't have a book review to go up today. I probably won't until I get back home.

But I'm doing my annual Lord of the Rings summer read instead, so here you go <3

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: Beguiled

Hello everyone!

I seem to always have books to read, but that doesn't mean all of them will or would even ever end up on this blog, for different reasons. Some just aren't all that interesting, others are re-reads, and then out of those I decide to write about ... well, I can't put them all up at once, right?

Right.

I'm headed back to a trilogy I started not too long ago in this blog post, actually, as Joanna Chambers has quickly become one of my favourite authors in terms of how easily it is to sink into one of her books and forget about the real world for a little bit.

I reviewed the first novel in the Enlightenment series, Provoked, already, and the link to the post will be found at the end of this one.

For the purpose of this blog, however, I'm stepping away from book numero uno and moving on to book numero due, titled Beguiled, which continues the infamous love story of lawyer David Lauriston and Lord Murdo Balfour.
