The first line of the synopsis of One of the Good Ones is that it’s a cross between The Hate U Give and Get Out.
Well I blanked or forgot about the Get Out part by the time I got around to reading the arc because I was completely knocked for a loop in a what is happening kind of way?
So please definitely keep that in mind when reading.
It’s a New Year! I hope everyone’s New Years Eve was fun 🙂
I didn’t do any resolutions last year for anything which is good because for a multitude of reason I didn’t do shit but I did want to set some goals for myself this year. And the first might seem a little strange for me.
Trying to sum up 2020 would be hard even for entertainment only. It was the year The New Mutants actually released but Black Widow didn’t. The year I became a Boba Fett fan.
But looking back over the books, films, and shows of the year there were some treats that made me smile well worth celebrating!
Me: I really need to be reasonable next year with my book buying and maybe not pay so much attention to upcoming new releases.
Also Me: Oh my God! There are so many books!!!! Is doing four posts on this unreasonable?
So at least after Wanda ends while waiting for Loki I’m going to get a nice little dose of a Darkling Spring!
Netflix finally announced a Shadow and Bone date!
I feel like my general mood has put me into a reading slump but this, this was a book that was a shining light so I did want to talk about it.
Even though I know nothing about Creature from the Black Lagoon I do love old Hollywood and its untold stories and Milicent Patrick was a perfect balm.
It’s the time of year for ALL THE LISTS! And I think an easy one to still do rather early is always the Prettiest/Best Looking Book Covers of 2020 and there were…
Not a lot of standouts to me this year. Maybe it was 2020 as a whole? I don’t know. But I think you can tell by my picks I was definitely into bright colors and striking faces this year.
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
By: Christopher Paolini
It would be just my luck to fall into an empty cavern of parasitic dust and these days I don’t think I’d even have to go to another world to do it.
Anxious People
By: Fredrik Backman
Anxious People is a great holiday read because it’s a pretty fast read number one but honestly the beginning of the book the characters were all kind of unlikable assholes (of varying degree) except the bank robber who I just felt sorry for but than they all really grown on you.
Feels like family and the holidays to me.
Tsarina
By: Ellen Alpstein
I enjoyed the (not really) historical drama The Great earlier this year so when I was offered a chance to read Tsarina as part of a blog tour I was like sign me up! Especially seeing as how the book is about the first Empress Catherine and Peter the Great.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the e-arc of the book. It didn’t change by opinion of the book in anyway.
