Saturday Snippet: Short Hair

Hello everyone!

So ... this happened.

Every once in a while, I get the itch to chop off ALL my hair, and I end up with a short haircut. This one is officially called 'side swept crop', but mostly, it's just really short except for the fringe bit haha! Which I think is perfect for when the weather's warmer and I work a lot because otherwise my hair is all in a ponytail, all the time.

This one works much better at the moment!

Tome Thursday: Lover Enshrined

Hello everyone!

I am, apparently, on a vampire binge. I keep thinking I need to go back and rewatch the first three seasons of Vampire Diaries (which I absolutely adored, might I add, before Elena got turned into a vampire, because afterwards it became a trainwreck of epic proportions) yet haven't had the time to actually get down to business about it. I'll probably work it in at some point when the rest of the shows I watch wrap up for their current seasons!

But as I wrote last week, I was VERY happy about the release of J. R. Ward's latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book, 'The Beast', and I keep getting more and more stoked as she posts certain updates on her Facebook page which indicate A HUGE, HUGE SPOILER FOR THE NEXT BOOK!

I'm not going to write it down here. You'll see it on her page if you do check it out, although if you don't want to know I'd steer clear.

Apparently, however, the next book is titled 'The Chosen', which tells me that it's probably going to be about Layla and Xcor. I'm on the fence about it to be honest, but there'll be a lot of Qhuinn and Blay, so thank goodness for that!

As I'm on the binge though, I thought I'd do a review of another book in the series, number six: Lover Enshrined.

Game of Thrones: The Red Woman

"For the night is dark, and full of terrors."

Hello everyone!

Normally, I don't do these kinds of posts, or better still I do posts which cover the whole season of a television series since if I wanted to do recaps of each episode, I'd have to have more sets of hands, more time, and much more blog space. 

But.

In all honesty, the hype surounding Game of Thrones and its sixth season was such that I'd have to be blind not to notice it.

Not to mention, I was right along there with them!

This show is probably the most successul one HBO will ever make, and I'm not saying this lightly given there's a lot of potentially awesome material out there which could very well take the throne, but so far, Game of Thrones seems to be the only thing that's really burning all bridges and collapsing every single record out there.

And honestly, they own it.

GAME OF THRONES

IT'S PREMIERE NIGHT!

Break out the comfort drinks, grab your bestie, and strap yourselves in!

IT'S GO TIME!

Tome Thursday: The Beast

Hello everyone!

It's book talk time again, and I was SO stoked for the release of this one, you can't even imagine. As luck would also have it, I didn't have to wait that long before I got my hands on a copy, because normally it takes almost forever for a book to get to my country after it gets released worldwide. It is what it is, but sometimes, like right now, and especially because I've become a bit more profficient with the whole electronic book thing, I can get to books faster this way.

I am, of course, talking about the next novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by author JR Ward, titled 'The Beast'.

I've been in love with these vampires from the moment a good friend of mine sort of coerced me into reading the books to begin with (thank you, Kelly!), because I was initially hesitant over the whole bloodsucker thing. I mean, I was just getting out of the Vampire Academy high and all, so I thught, do I want to spoil the vampires for myself?

Man, would I have made a mistake to turn this series down. I started reading when the first eleven books were out, and that was right before The King was published, but since then, I've probably reread them a couple of times already. In fact, I'm rereading them now, for kicks and giggles.

Talkie Tuesday: Voyage of the Unicorn

"Credendo vides."

Hello everyone!

I still have a bunch of new movies to watch - and then what do I do? 

I go and dig up a fifteen year old movie to watch instead, that's what!

I'll admit I'm not usually like this, I tend to not watch that many old movies to begin with, but I was organising some of my writing information the other day (this will make sense in a second, I swear) when I came across some old drawings that I did waaaaaaaay back when for my first ever serious fanfiction.

I'm still not making sense, am I?

Besides oneof the illustrations of what turned out to be a battle ensemble, I jotted down 'Miranda - Voyage of the Unicorn', and that got me thinking that I'd probably seen this in a movie somewhere. So I opened Uncle Google up and voila!

Lo and behold, my memory was actually not that faulty: once upon a time, when Hallmark still broadcast in my country, a movie titled Voyage of the Unicorn was on quite a lot.

Saturday Snippet: Spring!

Hello everyone!

The one thing that I'm really, really happy about is the weather FINALLY changing to warm again! Not that I don't like winter, but me and snow have a love-hate relationship, and I really do prefer the way everything is in bloom right now.
