Tome Thursday: Aaru


Hello everyone!

Before I say anything else, allow me to write something first.

WARNING: there are triggers in this book. Namely for sensitive content, religious content, sexual image of teenagers, stalking, and a general warning against pedophiles.

I usually don't have to put this in front of any of my blog posts, but I felt the need to stamp it front and centre first, because I failed to see any of these in the book itself and, while I'm not squeamish and generally speaking I'm fine with most of what I read, some readers aren't, and so I believe that this should be added right before you start reading the book Aaru.

Secondly, I'd like to say I was sent this book in exchange for an honest review, for which I'm very thankful to the author, Mr. David Meredith.

Opportunities like these don't come along very often, and despite the warning posted on top, I'll do my very best to give a review that will reflect good both on me and the author.

Now, to the book, Aaru!

Game of Thrones: Stormborn

"The Great War is here."


Hello everyone!

It's time for episode two! 

And boy, what an episode it was. Considering the fact that I've had some of my friends complain, or at least mutter, that the premiere of the show wasn't necessarily as explosive as one might expect from a series which keeps its viewers hanging for a full year before returning, well, let me just say Stormborn more than made up for it.

We have all the major players coming onto the board, whether directly or indirectly, some loose plotholes are being filled up, and all I'm still waiting for now is another Ed Sheeran song cover!

He IS going to be including one for the season seven official soundtrack, right?

Anyway.

As is usual for my reviews, links to the previous episode(s) will be found at the end of the blog post, so you can refresh your memory with those before jumping straight into Stormborn.

Tome Thursday: See Me


Hello everyone!

Back with a book blog this week, as per usual on Thursdays, and of course, like it happens every once in a while for me, I deviate towards Nicholas Sparks.

Yes, yes, I know.

Why would I do something like that to myself, you ask?

Well, alright, here's the thing: I don't know.

I just generally feel as if my reading experience needs to be completed by reading Sparks novels, although I will admit that I'm not the biggest fan of his newest works, honestly.

I kind of much prefer the books he wrote while he was still married, but considering he had to go through a divorce, I figure I'll cut the guy some slack - but that being said, however, I can still admit to not liking some of his books.

See Me, unfortunately, fell under that category.

Game of Thrones: Dragonstone

"The Great War is here."


Hello everyone!

Welcome, yet again, to another summer filled with Game of Thrones reviews and recaps. 

As I've done last year, I'm eschewing movies in favour of this television show because, SERIOUSLY, is there anyone (beside my sister) who hasn't seen this yet?

This Sunday marked the drop of the show's sevent season, a much-anticipated and highly speculated episode as well as the penultimate season of the show in general, since season eight is to be the last, during which we will finally, FINALLY, see the conclusion and who gets to sit on the bloody Iron Throne.

No pun intended.

So without further ado and without adding more to this introduction than is needed, let's jump right into the premiere, aptly named Dragonstone!
