Tome Thursday: Angel on Watch

Hello everyone!

Tonight we're taking a look at a slightly different story.

A little while ago I was approached on Goodreads to join this new site that's still in the beginning stages, BookSirens, where readers and authors can come together and exchange ARCs and reviews.

Free books, you say?

Where do I sign up?

Since signing up, I've read a couple of books and decided that I wanted to post a few of those on my blog as well, because I want to share them with you.

The first one of those is going up tonight.

If you've seen the movie City of Angels, this particular book might be right up your alley.

Angel on Watch is, after all, about guardian angels.

Talkie Tuesday: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, P2

 

"Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived ... come to die."

Hello everyone!

Well, here we are.

After a great number of pauses, full stops and definite breaks while I was doing something else entirely, we've finally made it to the end of the Harry Potter franchise.

I consider Deathly Hallows to be the end, despite the whole Cursed Child debacle, because I haven't had the chance to see the show and I'm not particularly inclined to, given what I've read in the printed version of the script, anyway.

So this is where Harry's journey ends for me, and probably for a lot of others.

It's been a long and bumpy ride, and there's been some chaos along the way, but we're finally ready for the very last showdown.

After all, Voldemort is waiting. He's got what he's been looking for, and now all he desires lies within his grasp.

Why don't we stop keeping him in suspense? The Deathly Hallows, Part 2, is here.

Tome Thursday: Where Winter Finds You

Hello everyone!

As I mentioned in last week's book post, I have a few stragglers left from my Christmas reading binge that should have honestly been done in December, but since there's only four Thursdays you have at your disposal then, it's really impossible to fit EVERYTHING in there.

Tonight's topic is one of them.

It probably doesn't seem too Christmas-y though since there really isn't much mention of the holiday, but what it IS is definitely cold and wintry and filled with ice and snow, which is pretty accurate for this time, I suppose.

Or mostly accurate. We all know how the weather is at the moment.

Anyway, if you're lucky you have some snow, but if not then you just have frost overnight and some weird warm temperatures over day. The times when we got to frolic in the fluff are long, long gone, and I don't think they're ever coming back.

But before I get too melancholy about it, let's take a look at Where Winter Finds You, shall we?

Talkie Tuesday: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, P1

"Harry is the last hope we have. Trust him."

Hello everyone!

It's back to Hogwarts we go!

Or, well, that's the idea in theory.

Of course, considering it's been almost ten years since these movies were released, we all more or less know what's going on and who's going where, so we ALL know Harry Potter isn't going back to Hogwarts for his seventh and final year.

He said so himself at the end of Half-Blood Prince, anyway.

But considering everything that we have to cover in this chapter before ACTUALLY heading back to the old magical castle, we better take a deep breath.

This is the final stage before our resolution.

Patronus charms, enchanted lockets, travelling cross-country, heated arguments, a snake pretending she's alive, and that sort of ilk await us. 

The Deathly Hallows, Part 1, is calling.

Tome Thursday: White-Hot Christmas

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully you're recovered, or more or less recovered, now that it's January 2nd, but if not, well, then you really had a lot of fun partying.

Which I think is fitting, given that this is the start of a beautiful new decade!

I have a few plans for this blog as well as for some other things, but first off, I have a straggler (or two) from my Christmas book list that never made it into the December shelves because you can only fit four into the month.

And I know, I know - I promised I'd be reading other things soon. And I will!

But these stragglers are just begging to be talked about, so why not give them a shot, and then move on to different, maybe greener pastures given the weather is hopefully going to start warming up again soon?

Luckily for us, the first book is less chilly than it is hot. White-Hot Christmas even sounds hotter than the average one!
