I really, really enjoyed The Other Black Girl but I went into it without knowing really anything about it and was a little surprised by one big element. I’d definitely be interested in others opinions as they read the book.
The Other Black Girl
My Emmy Nomination Wish List
The Emmy nominations will be announced in July so that means they’re voting now and I thought I’d put out there a few of my dream nominations cause it’s actually been a good year for watching television series for me!
Starting with perhaps the one I think is most deserved and it’s not really a Best Actor race if he’s not in it…
Suicide Squad’s New Trailer
We got a new Suicide Squad trailer with some more Harley goodness. I think this will probably be the last one since it comes out on August 6th. I can’t believe after this movie I’ll […]
Loki, Mobius & The Variant
One of the reasons I love Loki (and why I think he’s been such a popular character in the MCU) I truly always believe he can go either way. That he both adores his family and would destroy them. That he would want to be loved equally as he’s feared. That he can be both the brutal killer and the scamp freeing goats and going on about how nothing matters.
That’s also why I’m fascinated with Mobius and his relation with Loki.
(Spoilers through episode 2!)
The New Ted Lasso Trailer!
Me at the beginning of the year: I have no interest in Ted Lasso I don’t even like Sudekis! Why would I ever…?
Me this Morning: Oh my God! A second season two trailer! How am I going to survive a week -to- week release? Is it July yet?
Fresh Water for Flowers
For the first 45% or so of this book I thought it was a beautiful translation of a slice of life story. Nice but kind of average save how I wished I could read it in French. By the end I was like oh 5 stars definitely going to be on a best of the year list from me!
Sorry Catwoman Heroes Don’t Do that
So it’s making the rounds now that DC asked the makers of Harley Quinn (the brilliant animated show on HBO Max) to cut a scene of Batman having oral sex with Catwoman because ‘heroes don’t do that…’
Which is probably why the DC villains gallery is so much better 🙂
Out: I Actually Sent This Back
I am weirdly optimistic when it comes to books. I believe that they will get better which rarely is something I can do in real life. It keeps me reading. It makes it hard to DNF.
And I have never used the Audible refund policy for a book whether I like it or not.
So Out was a first in a lot of ways. It also brought my progress in the Asian Readathon to a screeching halt and indeed nearly derailed my reading!
This gets spoilery below!
Book News & Lost in Editions!
The third book in the Skyward series called Cytonic (love it!) is out on November 23rd! I haven’t heard much about that considering it’s one of my favorite series (the second was even better than the first) it’s just shot right to the top of my list!
Witcher News, Monsters and M.O.M
Well Geeked Week did bring us a teaser, full of fast images and Ciri centric. It wasn’t what I was hoping for but hey I do like that character and there’s a date for when we might get further news…
