Axiom’s End
By: Lindsay Ellis
Once after a particularly bad Youtuber Sci-Fi debut I told myself never again. Never again will I read a book by a Youtuber without at least hearing the reviews first.
Yet when Lindsay Ellis announced her book was getting published it immediately went on my TBR list. I jumped at the chance to read an ARC and was excited it came through. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher but it did not in anyway change my opinion of the book.
Palm Springs
By: Max Barbakow
I have watched 4 movies this month! Is the film slump lifting? Am I jinxing it by even asking? And besides the cake who would want to live a wedding day over and over again especially in Palm Springs?
Okay… wedding cake in my experience has always been damned good.
Disney released a new New Mutants trailer today!
And while it could mean nothing with movie dates still so up in the air and this one long delayed I have to admit I’m feeling a little hopeful…
Crescent City House of Earth and Blood
By: Sarah J. Maas
Good Lord the villain wound up expositing so much that I honestly expected them to get into a power point presentation. It went on for something like forty minutes on the audio of them just straight up explaining everything.
And that was just one of the reasons why Crescent City feel apart at the end.
Mayhem
By: Estelle Laure
This book is being pitched as a YA feminist mash-up of The Lost Boys meets The Craft- and the minute I saw that I knew I wanted to read it!
A thousand thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a free copy as part of the book tour.
I’ve been a fan of Batgirl for a while. Loved the version on Harley Quinn been waiting with baited breath (and admittedly less and less hope) for a good live-action version.
And recently did some comic readings one Cassandra Cain (and Barbara) and one Barbara and they were all worth it!
The Guest List
By: Lucy Foley
I think I may have unfortunate expectations of weddings these days. I mean if its not murderous enough to have a color designation it has to have a big old brawl a la The Witcher.
So The Guest List was a bit anti-climatic.
We got a season 2 trailer for The Boys today and it looks appropriately awesome!
Okay so seeing as how it’s Comic-Con at home this month (finally one I can afford!) and a Mandalorian Season 2 trailer should be forthcoming I thought I’d share my wishes for season 2 and my theory on why the Yoda species is so unknown seemingly throughout the galaxy.
Basically I think they started out as food.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
Directed By: David Dobkin
I actually really enjoyed Eurovision but I must admit there was a moment mid-movie where Dan Stevens character is comforting Rachel McAdams Sigrit after a particularly humiliating moment and I thought… he should have been Lars and Ferrell should have played Lemtov.
And that would have taken care of my biggest problem with the movie.
