Talkie Tuesday: The Perfect Bride Wedding Bells

"Who's ready to get married in six weeks?"

Hello everyone!

It's time for another movie review and YES, I know, I know, this one isn't very autumnal either, but it connects back to last week's and I couldn't just do one without the other, right? 

Right.

In any event, Hallmark has pretty much been showing all the extra special fall movies that will apparently more or less wrap up with the Good Witch Halloween Special (which I am VERY excited for!), and then it's off to count down until December.

Yes, that's also super fast, but it's Hallmark. 

Back to the topic at hand, however, this is going to be one of those wedding movies again, but I'm telling you it's probably one of the stronger sequels I had the chance to watch.

Normally, second movies are the weakest link. The Perfect Bride: Wedding Bells, while not a masterpiece, certainly wasn't bad, either.

Tome Thursday: A Discovery of Witches

Hello everyone!

Once again, I'm late to this bandwagon.

I swear I get this feeling that I'm ETERNALLY late to everything when it comes to fans and fandoms and stuff.

But anyway.

I discovered this particular book series through sheer accident - aka I saw a post on Instagram in which Matthew Goode was sitting on a big black horse and Teresa Palmer was beside him on a gray one.

My interest sat up with a vengeance.

Firstly, Teresa Palmer is a bae and I've loved her in pretty much everything. Secondly, Matthew Goode is notoriously underappreciated. Which means I was obviously paying attention to the #ADiscoveryofWitches tag anywhere I could get it, as the show loomed near.

Meanwhile, in the BOOK version of A Discovery of Witches ...

Talkie Tuesday: The Perfect Bride

"There's no such thing."

Hello everyone!

So while our powerplant is sending out smoke signals into outer space - because why the heck else wold there be such a big cone of smoke there? - I'm sitting here watching the monstrosity and typing up my blog post. 

As it's October, I figured I could probably do something autumn-related, but instead I found this cutesy movie review I'd done a little bit ago.

I'll be doing a Halloween themed post, I promise, but I'm waiting for the premiere of Good Witch for that one.

In the meantime, though, Hallmark does indeed provide a viewer with HEAPS to watch even when you think there may be nothing.

You may think so, but they'll prove you wrong.

As they did with The Perfect Bride.

Tome Thursday: The Kane Chronicles

Hello everyone!

As we cheerfully start our way into October and the first week of it is drawing to a close, I figured I could probably dust off some oldie-goldies when it came to books.

Let's face it, there are some that you pick up and read again and again.

If they include hilarious teenage-god encounters, that happens even more often!

The only thing better now would be to have Lucifer on speed-dial for the sarcastic remarks, but I suppose if you can't get him then any old god will do.

In this post, I continue my trek through Rick Riordan's books, as I tend to do every once in a while when I'm feeling especially down about something, because inevitably it'll be one of his deity representations that makes me giggle like a lunatic and feel better.

Tonight, that honour falls to Horus & Co.

Talkie Tuesday: A Summer to Remember

"A new lease on life."

Hello everyone!

Well, that's it. Summer as officially said goodbye, because on the TV this morning, we could already see that some higher-lying cities in Austria have been graced with snow. 

Some cameras were completely snowed-in!

As far as that goes, I'm quite happy to live in a place where we can have a bit more of autumn before we transition to winter again, but that being said, I thought I'd celebrate with a really summer-y movie review just because.

It's one of those things I plucked off a list of Hallmark movies and ended up enjoying, despite the fact that I don't really see myself watching it again this season. Maybe next year, but by then I'm sure there'll be a long list of other summer movies to watch!

The movie I'm talking about is aptly named A Summer to Remember and stars Catherine Bell and Cameron Mathison.
