House of the Dragon hit it's mid-season and with some pretty big changes to come I thought I'd talk about my thoughts on the first half. Especially since some of my issues can be summed up in episode five alone. Spoiler warning! Overall I'm enjoying the show and I think they are doing a good... Continue Reading →
It was a surprise to me during the run-up to the recent movie when I heard Amy March was an unpopular/controversial character amongst Little Women fans. I thought why? And then I was thinking you're a card-carrying member of the Catelyn and Sansa Stark fan club (books anyway) and the three characters actually have a... Continue Reading →
My apologies if you have a particular love of like cats and don't want them lumped in with CGI creatures- I do to. Or vice-versa. But I'm lumping them all together with the great performances by animals, CGI creatures of all sorts, and of course one very famous puppet. If not for said puppet... Continue Reading →
The Emmy's were last night and I must admit for a show I wasn't even going to watch as I thought they'd just give everything to Thrones and Veep I'm a little surprised by how happy I was with the winners!! And yes I'm a big old hypocrite because I'm most happy Benioff and Weiss... Continue Reading →
In super exciting news Circe- which was one of my favorite reads in a very long time- got a straight-to-series order from HBO. I find the writers credits a bit of a mixed bag but the source material is so strong... oh, man I'm having de ja vu cause I am sure I said that before... Continue Reading →
So Comic-Con is still bringing lots of trailers and information and we haven't even hit Marvel yet. And there's also that trailer that wasn't at comic-con and I think I've finally made my peace with Game of Thrones- even that one lingering question that I'd still like an answer to. I think we've hit the... Continue Reading →

It's a monthly event run by Katie at Never Not Reading and Adrienne at Darque Dreamer Reads in which you post your favorite choice for the specific topic. My problem is that I am so bad at picking just one anything when it comes to books!... Continue Reading →
We made it to the half way point! Cheers to us! Thinking back over all the entertainment books, television and films over the last couple of months all I can do is hope that there are some nice surprises to come. I mean don't get me wrong there's been some good stuff even some gems... Continue Reading →
So Game of Thrones has ended and yeah, I have some thoughts 🙂 Disclaimer: Spoilers obviously. Other disclaimer: I read the spoilers when they were released so I think by the time it aired I was more resigned than anything else. My biggest problem with this show has always been the writing and it didn't... Continue Reading →
So The Bells happened. I'm going to talk about the last episode of Game of Thrones which did in some fairly major characters (in more ways than one) and why I'm worried about the books for the first time and not just that Martin probably won't finish them. Disclaimer one: If you don't want to... Continue Reading →
