    THG: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie

    Here we go…

    May the odds be ever in your favor.

    Hello, dearies! 🐍

    I didn’t think my expectations were high, but they kind of were, I suppose.

    Today, I watched The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. And you might remember what I thought of this prequel, and how it was not a 5-star for me.

    I’m not going to talk about the acting, or the choices in casting. I gave up on that long ago.

    But as a reader, I understood what was happening, but my sis went with me, and after the 10th Hunger Games, she had no idea what was happening πŸ€” or where the transition was, it was confusing.

    New Book Filter: Dystopian Novels

    Hi, dearies! πŸ‘‹

    Are you active on TikTok? I created a new filter, this time dedicated to Dystopian Books Old n’ New, if you have some time, don’t be shy and try it out.

    You can do book challenges with it, find a new book to read, or rank books depending on what random book you get.

    Let me know if you do use it, and you can tag me or share it with your friends who would like it as well. πŸ˜ŠπŸ“–

    That’s all I have today. Also, look out for the next one about Christmas, holiday-related books. πŸ“š

    Thank you for stopping by… and don’t forget to follow if you’re not already. And on social media too.

    Happy Watching! πŸ“šπŸŠ

  • Friday Flashback: Fruits Basket (2001)

    Friday Flashback: Fruits Basket (2001)

    Fruits Basket (Anime 2001)

    Where can I watch it? On Crunchyroll.

    Hello, dearies! 🐾

    I recently, barely, finished watching Fruits Basket’s original anime (or I would say the crazy 2001 version).

    This anime makes no sense.

    I’ll jump right into this one. Expect some rambling ahead, and some spoilers if you don’t know about Fruits Basket.

    Friday Flashback: Insurgent

    Hello, dearies! πŸ’–

    The first time I read Insurgent, it was during the rush of dystopia and just after reading Divergent (or close), and they both made me realise how much I liked Dystopia.

    I discovered that this world in the future where everything went to hell was fascinating.

    Fruits Basket – Anime

    Title: Fruits Basket (γƒ•γƒ«γƒΌγƒ„γƒγ‚Ήγ‚±γƒƒγƒˆ, FurΕ«tsu Basuketto)

    Where to watch? Crunchyroll

    Original run: April 6th, 2019 – June 28th, 2021

    Hello, dearies! πŸ±πŸ™

    Let’s talk Fruits Basket! If you haven’t heard of this anime or manga before, I recommend it. Also known as γƒ•γƒ«γƒΌγƒ„γƒγ‚Ήγ‚±γƒƒγƒˆ, FurΕ«tsu Basuketto. You can watch it on Crunchyroll and FunimationNow.

    Before starting on this one, I’d like to clarify that this is about the anime of 2019 (essentially a reboot). I haven’t watched the original anime (I didn’t know there was one) from 2001, though that one has fewer episodes, and I think they changed the story from the Manga.

  • What about Love Again?

    What about Love Again?

    Hello, dearies! πŸŽ₯

    I recently watched Love Again with Sam Heugham πŸ’• oh, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Celine Dion.

    I wasn’t going to mention it here, but sometimes you have to, because to be honest it wasn’t like the greatest love story ever, and half the time the story of her got a little on my nerves, though not as much as clearly seeing where the story was going and how it’ll end, maybe it was my Rom-Com filled brain 🀣 but truly, I knew even before they did that she would end up texting him. πŸ“±
