Tome Thursday: Starcross Castle


Hello everyone!

Back with some more book reviews, and while I actually have a trilogy waiting to be typed up on here, I decided against starting it this Thursday. I've actually read a number of other books since and thought I might pick up something else first.

Namely, continue in the vein that I did last Thursday, when I reviewed December Heart by Merry Farmer, and of course once I start a series I will usually try to find other books from it.

Which I did.

And then of course I realized that, yeah, there will be other older gentlemen falling in love in the main books, there are NOVELLAS accompanying each book.

Like, two short stories per each novel.

How cool is that?!

It's basically like getting three presents instead of one for your birthday.

So for tonight, I decided to combine blog posts and write about the stories from Starcross Castle.

Talkie Tuesday: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

"That's the best kind of party, little girl."


Hello everyone!

So finally. 

After apeasing my inner OCD last week with the review of Mamma Mia! from 2008, I can now move on to the sequel. Or prequel, or whichever word you prefer for the movie in all honesty.

Basically, I got all the cogs out of the way and now we're getting to the good stuff!

Of course, as stated at the very top of my blog, you need to be prepared when reading these reviews, as there will be spoilers, and lots of them while we're at it. I figured I should probably smack this into a post again sooner rather than later.

Onwards!

I was wary going into the second movie, thinking I would definitely NOT like it as much as I enjoyed the first. Sequels have a really nasty habit of letting people down.

But this particular one, probably because, hello, it's all those songs we know and love yet again, just didn't have it in it to disappoint. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the movie to see as the summer ends!

Tome Thursday: December Heart


Hello everyone!

Don't let the blog title fool you, this book does NOT in fact take place in December. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's set at about this time, or maybe spring-ish going into summer? It's not that big of a detail but it's still warm where the characters are and they can run around and ride without having to deal with heavy winter clothing, SO.

The title's about something else.

I have this lovely subscription with Bookbub where they send me an email every night with links to books that are either extremely cheap or free, so when I stumble on a good one I usually snap it up.

It's a really good thing to rely on if you read as much as I do!

I was browsing the selection in my email a week or so ago and stumbled across this one book that piqued my interest because, if done right, a May-December romance is definitely something to read about.

This one could be called a slight exception to the rule, but I did like the author's writing style, so let's dive right into December Heart, shall we?

Talkie Tuesday: Mamma Mia!

"I won't be muscled out by an ejaculation!"


Hello everyone!

So as you might have been able to tell from my several consecutive posts in previous weeks, my friends and I went to see Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again last Thursday! 

And URGH some movies, man.

Some movies just deserve to be viewed over and over and OVER again.

This is one of them.

But then of course, I'm slightly OCD on this end and I can't just review the second movie without going into the bones of the first one.

Because every great story has a beginning, especially if it's a great sequel we're talking about.

This particular beginning happened ten years ago, under the very appropriate title of Mamma Mia!
