Spoiler Time Sunday: Pride and Prejudice’s Lydia

Pride and Prejudice is a superb comedy of manners of Regency England, according to many readers. But did you know how Lydia really was in the book? Here’s how!

This will be a quick Spoiler Time Sunday.

Book/Movie: Pride and Prejudice

Author: Jane Austen

Book Character: Lydia Bennet (Youngest sister)

I was recently watching Pride and Prejudice (movie 2005) again for the thousandth time. And realised how little they explain how Lydia is, there’s a bit more to what she does and how she is. So here I am.

Did you know that in the book Mr Bennet actually asks Lizzie who did Lydia drive away (which suitor) by being all flirty.

Friday Flashback: Kuroko no Basuke – Anime

Have you watched Kuroko’s Basket or Kuroko No Basuke? I have and I would recommend to watch a second time, so today’s Friday Flashback will be dedicated to this Sports Anime.

Title: Kuroko’s Basketball (黒子のバスケ, Hepburn: Kuroko no Basuke)

Genre: Sports, Shonen, Young Adult

Manga by: Tadatoshi Fujimaki

Anime by: Shunsuke Tada

Basketball Team: Seirin High (誠凛高校, Seirin Kōkō)

Hello, dearies! ⛹️ I realised recently that I don’t have one for Kuroko no Basuke, which is odd since I really liked this one.

Have you ever heard of or watched this anime? I hadn’t until Crunchyroll and Netflix put it in my face as recommendation because I had watched… I have no idea what. Honestly, I don’t why the algorithm thought it would be good for me to watch, perhaps because I watched Dragon Ball? That could be it.

Anyway, I watched and liked it a lot. It’s fun, more so if you like High School, School Life, and Basketball. And Seinen then you definitely can watch this one.

Spoiler Time Sunday: TLC Scarlet

What is it about Wolf? How is Scarlet going to figure out the dark secrets he hides? She might not, or she might be in for a surprise. 🍅

Hello, dearies! 🍒🍅

Welcome to a new spoiler time Sunday, this time it’ll be for Scarlet, book #2 in The Lunar Chronicles Saga.

Heads-up, I love these books. 🌒

So, I might have more of these coming up. There’s a lot to say about these books that might be spoiler.

No idea

Saying no to things in an active way?

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

I have no idea if I do but I hope that unconsciously I am doing it because I do work towards it as I ought. A good attitude.

So, never giving up and pushing forwards must be those things that you can consider a “no” to the little things that interfere with your goals in life. 😊

It’s all about the way you see yourself and where you want to go in the future. It’s never too late to shift and focus. 🌙

TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

“Olivia thinks it’s her lucky night when a dangerously handsome unconscious fae ends up on her inspection table. He’s her chance to redeem herself with her employer, the demon-hunting organisation, Archangel. But when the tall, dark and deadly immortal warrior awakes, she gets much more than she bargained for…”

Hello, dearies! 💜

This one acts as a TBT because I had read this one before, but I re-read it again recently and it almost felt like the first time 😄.

I could barely remember what happened on this one, but one thing was clear, I didn’t misremember the fact that I freaking loved this book. I knew there was a reason for me to like Tempted by a Rogue Prince so much (book #3 in this series). It’s all because of the incredibly honest princes here. Wow.

Dune 2: Movie

“There is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors.”

Hello, dearies! 🍿

Did you watch the new Dune? Or Dune: Part Two?

I did.

I was confused by the end of it.

So, here we are. I had to talk about the movie, and well, this is me rambling on it.

I’ll jump right in.

Do you leave 1 Star Reviews?

Hello, dearies! ⭐

I was wondering about this one for some time, and have mentioned some of it before, so today I decided to go ahead and ramble for a bit about it.

Why do people leave 1-Star reviews? Don’t they know that one’s opinions is completely then somebody else’s?

Spoiler Time Sunday: NANA (Anime)

NANA (Anime) is a friendship/love story that suddenly turns traumatic and unbelievable. The more you watch this anime, the more invested you become in it! It’s now available on Netflix, but you can also watch it on Crunchyroll.

Oh wow… I’m not even remotely ready to talk about this one.

Anime: NANA

Genres: Romance. Josei. Drama. Music. So much drama.

Director: Morio Asaka

Originally a Manga by Ai Yazawa-sensei

You can watch it on Netflix or Crunchyroll.

I’ll try to keep it short, and to the point.

NANA description:

Nana “Hachi” Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and ~~leave her capricious love life behind her~~. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock’n’roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties! Anxious to get into a Tokyo groove, both women are on the prowl for a funky and cheap place to live. But inexpensive apartments in Japan’s capital city are hard to find. Thank goodness each Nana has a clique of cool friends willing to help out. Too bad these friends are a little wiggy!
