Tome Thursday: 'Twas the Knight Before Christmas

 
Hello everyone!
 
With how 2020 is going I feel like we all need a little something to cheer us up - and with Christmas season starting next week, it's safe to say that there will probably be a lot of watches of the Grinch and Night Before Christmas and stuff like that.
 
Also, yes, I consider all of December Christmas season, basically.
 
I will be doubly considering it this year given everything.
 
Fingers crossed we at least get to spend the holiday with our loved ones if nothing else - at this point I don't even need a big party or anything, just the chance to be able to see my sister and decorate Christmas trees with her!
 
But before we can even move anywhere close to THAT, it's time for a book review, and if I'm this excited about it, you know what time it is.
 
Serenity Woods is easily my all-time favourite contemporary author, and her work under pen-name Hermione Moon is right up at there at the top with the rest.
 
So have those brooms ready as we take flight in 'Twas the Knight Before Christmas!

Talkie Tuesday: Christmas Wedding Planner

 

"Love you muchly."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Okay, hear me out.
 
Yes, I know it isn't December yet when I usually begin with my Christmas blog posts, but this one is even less Christmas-y than my Saturday random post, I promise!
 
It definitely has the title for it, but it does not actually have the plot to back it up.
 
It's still funny however and at the end of it all it's a 'what just happened' kind of thing, which is basically all you need in the long run.
 
I honestly would have watched something else if not for the two main cast members, but I have a soft spot for both and so, here I am with a blog post ready and rearing to go so that we can have a look at this particular Netflix flick.
 
Oh yeah, Netflix has gotten in on the Christmas market niche. And this could be extra funny in the long run.

Synopsis Saturday: LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special

 

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ...


Hello everyone!

I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far and that all my friends who celebrate Thanksgiving are going to enjoy it (or are enjoying it) to the maximum!

Here it's finally starting to get a little colder, which means that it's time to pull out all the music and movies that makes us all want to be all cozy and happy at home. For me, this generally means Hallmark because, let's face it.

NOBODY does Christmas like Hallmark does it.

No matter how many other movies they film and other subcategories they have at their disposal, Christmas is still their biggest marketing niche of the year. They normally release at least 30 new movies, though the number may be lower this year due to the pandemic, but they've been up to the 50 already.

However, nope, not Hallmark tonight.

Tonight, it's just Disney. And Star Wars.

And Life Day in the 2020 LEGO Holiday Special!

Tome Thursday: The Belle of Eden

 
Hello everyone!
 
Hopefully you're all doing well in these rather difficult times, and that if nothing else you've found some books that have been able to help you pass the time, get by, etc.
 
Being the reader that I am, I've certainly had no issue finding what I wanted, though I will admit that sometimes the 'what I want' turns out to be 'am I actually sure this is what I want?'.
 
Tonight's book is an example of that, because while the premise sounded like something I would enjoy, the actual execution of the book I picked wasn't something that I was all that fond of, and I figure I should try and explain myself in this review if I possibly can.
 
Especially since I finished this one before my Booktober started.
 
I'm still playing catchup, yessir. But hey, it's one of the fun things about reading, am I right?
 
So without further ado, let's get right into it, as swashbuckling adventure and pirates lurk around the corner.
