So I did one of these for Spring I’m not calling it my Summer TBR because that pretty much guarantees that I won’t read them. I am not great at TBR’s so let’s just call them books that scream to be read in the summertime (in my opinion) and hopefully you’ll find something that sounds good to you this summer or anytime really.
The Incredibles 2
Directed by: Brad Bird
Grade: A-
I think it was a couple of days ago I mentioned The Incredibles was the only Pixar movie that never made me cry. That fact remains though I did tear up in the short film before it this time the absolutely adorable Bao. So it’s mostly a technicality at this point!
I saw this tag on Super Space Chick’s Youtube channel. She created it along with Alexa Loves Books and since I love ice cream and books and it’s summer I thought this would be the perfect time to do it.
So more books and ice cream ahead!
Something in the Water
By: Catherine Steadman
Grade: C
Two newlyweds who find something in the water on their perfect tropical honeymoon and everything goes to shit after that because that’s what happens when you find something in the water. It’s rarely something pleasant.
I will say I listened to this on Scribed and the chapters were way off. Also I gave points for the audio because after going back and forth in the beginning I thought Steadman did a fantastic job- I just didn’t like Erin.
Upgrade
Directed By: Leigh Whannell
Grade: B
After a mugging a badly injured Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green) agrees to take part in a top secret experiment and is implanted with a widget that is essentially like artificial intelligence. In Grey’s case it’s supposed to help him live a full life after his injuries what it actually does is much, more more than that.
Kumakanda
By: Kayo Chingonyi
Grade: A
I’ve really been delving into poetry the last little while and Kumakanda is a recent read and a collection that I really loved. Kumakanda is an initiation that a boy must pass through to be considered a man in the Luvale tribe.
Year Zero
By: Jeff Long
Grade: B+
After looting the ancient burial site known as Golgotha a plague is released and rips it’s way across the world decimating humanity in its path. Our band of survivors are mainly scientists who gather at Los Alamos- trying desperately to find a cure to save us as the disease inches closer and closer.
Since the plague originated from the bones of Golgotha perhaps the best chance is to use the same remains to clone the very people who could have had immunity.
I rewatched Incredibles for the first time in ages a couple of days ago and naturally started thinking about which books they would love to read and recommend to other people. Because apparently I am overly interested in what characters in movies would read!
Below they recommend some of their favorite books…
Welcome to my very first Blog Tour post! I’ve been looking forward to reading anything by Morgan Matson for a while now and I have a certain love for weddings (well wedding cake anyway) so getting to participate in the Save the Date tour has been especially exciting.
Mary Shelley
Directed By: Haifaa as-Mansour
Grade: C+
So Stannis Baratheon has two daughters in this who rush off into scandalous relationships and illegitimate children. No one burns alive. I think he’s finally learning. Which is a good thing because that’s not the kind of fire this movie needs.
