The King of Crows
By: Libba Bray
With this book I’ve finished five series this year! Which considering how the rest of the year (crap) is going I’m taking that as reading win. I am a little torn on this one though because while I give high marks to the series overall and loved books 2 and 3 I hate to admit this one has some issues.
Well this morning brought the release of the trailer for Bill & Ted Face the Music- which honestly was a nice much needed little surprise right now.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Directed By: Cèline Sciamma
I want to say right off the bat it took me about 30 minutes to get into this one. It’s beautiful throughout but there’s especially a dreaminess about the beginning and not much dialogue.
I suppose like a lot of relationships it really picks up when everyone starts talking to each other.
“He looked at her like she was a steak and he was someone who… ate steak. Raw and moaning.”
Yes Sarah J. Maas is back and she’s been unleashed (at least officially) on the “adult” book world.
Blonde
By: Joyce Carol Oates
I read this book ages ago probably around the time it was first published and remember loving it. I was determined to give it a reread after I heard the upcoming Ana de Armas movie is based on Blonde.
This time around and once again in a bit of a Marilyn phase I’m much more torn.
There’s going to be a Lord of the Rings cast reunion this Sunday! And that shot right to the top of my list of things to look forward to 🙂
Clap When You Land
By: Elizabeth Acevedo
I love the idea of books in verse and they are fun fast reads but when I’m done with them (especially the Acevedo ones) I’m usually left with the feeling of wanting more. And Clap When You Land is no different.
It’s a Summer Reading TBR!
This post is in concert with Top 5 Tuesday hosted by Bionic Bookworm although I do go above 5… I couldn’t stop myself! So many good new books so many backlisted books I’m getting to this summer just so many books!
I don’t travel a lot (or ever really) and unfortunately I don’t see that changing this year but one of the great things about movies is the fantasy of going somewhere you’ve never been. And it doesn’t just mean space or Middle Earth.
There are some great movies that are like taking fun filled vacations for far less money.
We got ourselves a shiny new Tenet trailer last night and as much as I go back and forth on the will I or won’t I go back to theaters I have no doubt in my mind I’m going to for this one.
