I come with News: The Lunar Chronicles Movie is Happening

New The Lunar Chronicles news… about the upcoming animated movie.

Yes, we sort of already knew about it.

But it was not confirmed, confirmed, and there was no date but now there it is! So excited about seeing The Lunar Chronicles.

Last time on the blog: The Lunar Chronicles: Animated News

Now, recently Marissa Meyer, announced the official date for the movie or she told us to go read the news on Deadline.

And even when it doesn’t say much other than it will be in theaters in Nov. 3, 2028, I’m still going to wait for it, three years, is not much, right? Right? (it is *whispered sigh*).

Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

“People who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control has the power.”

Woah! I went back a lot with this one. 📺

I rewatched this movie (The NeverEnding Story) countless time when I was a kid, could be one of the first fantasy ones that got to me.

It has everything…

But did you know that this is a book adaptation? Yes! It is for a 1979 novel, called The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and it is German. 📖

The Odds are in our Favor: The Second Quarter Quell is Coming

“Stay alive.”

Hello, dearies! Welcome! I have news! 📚

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) Book has been announced, which will be dedicated to the Second Quarter Quell, and we all know who won that one, right?

No? Okay, it was Haymitch, he was the victor of the 50th Hunger Games (or Second Quarter Quell) which is a different type of games, they always do a special one as they did on the 75th Hunger Games (Book 2: Catching Fire) where only the previous victors from each district would participate, this was how Katniss ended up again in the arena.

This might a little late, but this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t watched the movies, read the book, or do not know about the history of Panem.

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.

THG: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie

Oh dear… get ready for this one. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie is in theaters now.

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 🤔 or where the transition was, it was confusing.

What about Love Again?

I recently hit play on Love Again on HBO, and this is what happened…

Hello, dearies! 🎥

I recently watched Love Again with Sam Heugham 💕 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. 📱

HP and the Half-Blood Prince

“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”

Series: Harry Potter

Book #6The Half-Blood Prince

Author: JK Rowling

Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama

I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.

Hello, dearies! ⚡

The Half-Blood Prince was not going to be this week’s Throwback Thursday, but here we are, TBT with this Potter book.

I love the whole Harry Potter saga, I think that’s clear after me taking the time to talk about each book, but The Half-Blood Prince made me re-read it a few times when it first came out, and it soon became a favourite book.

After reading it, I had to wait for The Deathly Hallows, so I had to keep going back to The Half-Blood Prince for more.

Let us begin. 🔮

I’ll jump right in, and perhaps go back and forward, so please be patient with my upcoming rambling.

Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

“It wasn’t just me, and it wasn’t just him, it was what we were together that was the exception.”
Many little quotes like this make it a great read.

Author: Jamie McGuire

Genre: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary, Fiction, YA

Page Count: 432 pages

Year Published: May 26, 2011

Main Characters: Travis Maddox. Abby Abernathy.

I cannot believe I don’t have a book review for Beautiful Disaster. And honestly, all that I remember is that I loved it at the time, despite being kind of a regular one, a romance, yes, but no fantasy in there. Yet, it hooked me for a time. 💞

Now, there is a movie in the making, and for some reason, I am excited about it. I am not feeling the actors that much, but I want to watch. Filming ends this week, and Jamie has been giving us regular news on it, and it’s making me want to read the book again. There are two sides of Beautiful Disaster, from Abby’s point of view and from Travis’, and the one from Travis freaking Maddox was too much excitement. I mean, he is on my list of favourite male characters in books, so there, I admit that bad boys do hold their appeal.

Hello, dearies! It’s August of 2021, as in we are past the mid-year mark, as we are almost looking at Autumn in the eye, and I finally watched the second part of The Idhun Chronicles, I know it took me some time, but I already knew what it was about and where it was headed knowing the end of the book and all, and knowing that there are no more seasons or parts or nothing, so I was taking my time, and I had a lot of work, now I am a free bird, and can do other things.

I am not sure if you watched the first part of these cool animated series, but you probably should. It’s on Netflix, and you can read my review here:
