    Friday Flashback: Stardust

    Hello, dearies!

    Have you ever liked a movie so much that you think the book cannot be possibly be bad?
    Yeah, that’s me with Stardust, the movie.

    This is perhaps one of my top 10 most watched movies of all time, I know it, I recognise the themes, the music, I can quote it. When I read the book? It was a whole different experience, and not in the fangirling, awesome way.

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to another Narnia review!

    As you might know I am reading the Narnia books, Prince Caspian, book 4 in the Series (Chronological order) was the one I had been expecting to read the most, probably because of the movie, probably because it seemed like that interesting shift into a different Narnia.

    Oh, spoilers alert btw, so if you don’t know about the story or haven’t watched the movies, be warned there will be spoilers.

    So, I wanted to read Prince Caspian since I started with The Magician’s Nephew, but by the time I finished reading this book, I literally said: come on!

    Let me tell you what happened.

    Books to Live Action to actually be excited about

    Hello, dearies!

    Welcome to a mini update, and a bookish one that I didn’t know was moving so fast to completion.

    There are some movies coming to the big screens this 2026, other than Sunrise on the Reaping that is. We already knew about it, and we are waiting anxiously and excitedly for it.

    I come with News: The Lunar Chronicles Movie is Happening

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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?

    What about Love Again?

    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

    HP and the Half-Blood Prince

    Series: Harry Potter

    Book #6: The 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.
