Monthly Wrap-up: July 2017

So I'm back on the blogging wagon! July has been quite an eventful month on the blog. In fact, it's been the most eventful month of the year thus far. There were a few firsts on the blog this month. My first promotional post went up, and I interviewed my first author, the amazing Rachel Ca…

Soundtrack Sunday: Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

I haven't done one of these in a while and it's long overdue, so here's a new soundtrack I created for James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's which I really enjoyed reading.

Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices #2) by Cassandra Clare

Synopsis:



























4 out of 5 stars

I read Lord of Shadows immediately after reading Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy and I needed this to be good. I liked the book, Lord of Shadows, I mean. But, it didn't knock my socks off. (just halfway) This may have to do with the fact that were some things I lov…

TV Shows: Game of Thrones: Season 7 Episode 2: "Stormborn" Review

Episode synopsis:


























Whoa! Was this episode not crazy? Dan and David have officially adopted the "leave-the-shocking-bits-to-the-end" paradigm. There are two things I learned from this episode. The first is that Daenerys' conquering of the King's Landing and her ruling over the seven…

Open Letters: Sansa Stark (In Response to TV Guide's Open Letter to Sansa)

Whoa, two open letters in one month? What a feat! The reason I wrote another open letter this month, is because I feel almost obligated to send one to Sansa Stark (a Game of Thrones character) to mitigate the effects of the open letter TV Guide wrote to her advising her not to openly vocally chall…

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 (Harry Potter #8) by J.K Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne

Synopsis I have to point out that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is an addition to the Harry Potter series that is unlike its predecessors. The Cursed Child is more like a novella than anything else. A novella that centers on Harry's son Albus as he tries to reconcile being the offspring of …

TV Shows: Game of Thrones: Season 7 Episode 1: "Dragonstone" Review

For the longest time, I debated whether or not I should review Game of Throne's season 7 on a by-episode basis, or if should do what I did last year and publish a mid-season and an end-of-season review. Well, as you might have gathered from the existence of this post, I decided to the former. …

Synopsis:

































FAIR WARNING: Do not proceed if you have not read City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6) by Cassandra Clare. If you plan on reading Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, I recommend you do so after you read City of Heavenly Fire.

Here's something I never thoug…

City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2) by Cassandra Clare

Synopsis:
4 out of 5 stars
In comparison to City of Bones, this book was a little tame for me, action-wise. But I still loved it. This might have been the third, maybe even the fourth time I've read this book. 
I get caught up on the most ridiculous things and here's something I thought of…

Bridget Jones: The Film Trilogy Review

Disclaimer: I have not read the books on which the films are based.

I've only fairly recently watched the Bridget Jones movies for the first time and I think it's safe to say that my infatuation with Colin Firth has not yet, and likely never will dissipate. If anything, this series of films…
