<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hello
happy readers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well it has been a crazy
weekend to be sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three days of all
day adopt-a-thon action which will leave you surprisingly sore each day and a
double birthday party for my bestie ad her smallest mini-me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said while I sit in my comfy robe and
sit on ice I am finally able to type and post my review of a recent release for
you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That book in question is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34461974-shifters-and-glyphs">Shifter and Glyphs</a> </i>(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fairy Tales of the Magicorum</i> #2) by Christina Bauer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I previously reviewed the first book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://functioninginsanity.blogspot.com/2017/11/wolves-roses-fairy-tales-of-magicorum-1.html">Wolves and Roses</a></i> and the following

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Bry
is about to start school, real school for the first time and it's all she has
dreamed of for so long, but the dreams she has had her whole life of pyramids
and papyri have turned much darker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
should be enough to worry about with three different types of magic to work on
and an inner wolf who wants to chomp on a 1/3 of your classmates but that's not
enough pressure for Bry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the equinox
approaches and those she love most seem to be in danger Bry must step away from
her dream of school life and solve the mystery of her life and the attraction
to the pyramids or face untold consequences for herself and the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
Bry has her un-shredable outfit to help ease her modesty should she have to
shift and her best friend, her mate, and her newest friend all with her in this
endeavor that is school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the search
for the fountain of course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things
should go well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Knox has been
looking rather unwell as of late and the nightmares Bry has and can't remember
are only making things worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sense
of time running out and the search is kicked up into high gear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone's magic is acting a bit wonky as the
equinox approaches.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Things
move quickly as we have fights of will, power, and kick butt action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still the characters are why we really care
as much as we do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love Bry for sure
but I think I love the best friend dynamic between Bry and Elle above most else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are friendship goals and remind me of
some of the stuff my bestie and I would say and/or do though less magically,
like make fun of people in horror movies doing the stupidest things….yep that's
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then you have Knox because you can't
forget the sexy werewolf mate!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking
of mate the inner conversations Bry has with her wolf had me rolling most of
the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like she has a literally voice
in her head trying to convince her to do things, like chowing down on your
mates ex, when they pop up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knox and Bry
the story is sweet and amazing as always, he could save me anytime!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Alec who is basically Knox's Elle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their brotherly dynamic is on point and adorable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus no matter how hard they try to play as
friends Elle and Alec are super cute and impossible not to ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
dig deeper as we approach the conclusion to the fountain search.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things that are translated always have
multiple meanings as anyone well knows but in this care old papyri is no
exception. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mysteries are solved, truths
revealed, and life templates are put to the test.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so excited to go on this ride for the
search for the fountain and the hope to fix magic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And maybe get a little bit of normal high
school time if you're lucky!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I can't
say much else without spoiling things and that will not do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book flies by so pick it up and give it a
go! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hello
happy movie fans!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few movies
recently, and hopefully more to come!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This weekend I have my besties birthday which I am excited for because I've
had her present wrapped and ready for about 4 months now and it's been begging
to be given.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bella will also be front
and center for the adopt-a-thon looking for her furever home so I'm sure I'll
be sore and tired by the end of this weekend lol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said here is what I’ve seen the last two
weeks:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></b>So I finally watched the
first Halloween online then just a few hours later saw the new Halloween, which
per my internet dive said takes place after the first one, if it had ended
slightly differently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said having
seen them so close together, literally within 4 hours of one another, I did
enjoy the parallel between them that paid a sense of homage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still while it was fun, made more so by my
co-workers joining, it wasn’t the best Halloween time / horror type movie nor
was it the best I’ve seen recently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Still I enjoyed it enough that I’m glad I saw it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do plan to watch the other movies in the
series at some point as well and maybe when I do I’ll rank them but for now the
new iteration was fun but not something I’m excited to see again or own.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></b>I hadn’t seen a ton of
trailers for this one much like his other movie Geostorm but when I did see the
trailer it looked interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
commander in charge and having to go into something never done before while a
spy thriller is played out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus let’s be honest I might have
a soft spot for Gerald Butler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed
myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love a good story about a strong
leader fighting the odds to try and stop all out war.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trying to make friends of enemies and so
on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a great dynamic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
I might be one of the only people in the world unfamiliar with the Nutcracker
ballet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know of it, that it exists and
there is a Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy but that’s about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t know the story behind it, though
having seen this movie I would love to see a real ballet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>The movie as a whole
was beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seriously the whole
experience was eye opening and a marvel to watch play out before my eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed all the characters, the story, the
visuals, the music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a total package for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

upcoming movies….there are so many I want to see but clearly only the budget

</span>What movies have you seen recently?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What should I see? Next weekend I'm seeing Fantastic Beasts 2 no
question but other than that it's hard to choose between such fun looking
movies!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i>It’s been two months since
the last Caraval concluded, two months since the Fates have been freed from an

everyone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So quick update my grandma had
a medical scare this weekend and was in the hospital, all is good now
thankfully it was a false alarm but it kind of took up most of my weekend and
now I think I'm coming down with a something if my struggle to stay awake for
more than an hour when not forced to be at work is any indication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seriously Sunday I slept for about 20 hours
on and off and kept wanting nothing but sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anywho I was able to type this up at work and wake myself early enough
for shift today that I could get on my computer at the house to format and post
so yay!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Progress!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Top Ten Tuesday is just how it sounds, a
topic is picked and we put our Top Ten for that in a post and share and check
out everyone’s answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Top Ten Tuesday

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hello
happy readers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So there were a few
changes made at work last week that changed some of my normally scheduled
plans, i.e. formatting and posting from work in slow times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No more social media access including blogs
from the computer during shift so I had to do all this at the house which is
taking some adjustment but I will push through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That and I also forgot about to post this when I posted my movie corner
I was focused on movies and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kingdom of Ash.</i>
So this wrap-up will focus on everything finished to the 28<sup>th</sup>!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenges are pretty self-explanatory
but for full details on the challenges themselves please visit the challenge
tab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also please share your yearly
wrap-up / challenges as well I’d love to see how everyone else did!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hello
happy readers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So today I’m here with
something new and different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know I’ve
talked about a couple graphic novels before, ones for the series I already read
and loved but I have now read a graphic novel on its own and I loved it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My first is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37534577-check-please">Check, Please!</a> </i>(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">#Hockey </i>Vol.
1) by Ngozi Ukazu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I picked this up
because it looked adorable yes, but also because I was going to an event and
she was the only author I hadn’t heard of and have something to get signed and
that wouldn’t do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m glad I got it because
it was great fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My thoughts and
feelings on it below but also if you read graphic novels I would love some
suggestions for future adventures!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
this is a webcomic series in book form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We focus on Bitty, a former junior figure skating champion, vlogger, and
baker who is a freshman at Samwell University.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He is also on the hockey team, which is much different from the co-ed
hockey he was used to playing in Georgia because as the title suggest there is
checking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh and a cute moody captain
Jack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the first half of a
coming-of-age story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the
best four years of your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
wasn’t familiar with this webcomic but knew the author was going to be at the
event and as the only author there I didn’t own something from or have any idea
of her work I wanted to check it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Amazon had this handy preview option with lots of clips and I found it
totally adorable so yeah I snagged it so I could read the whole thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said it was well worth the price as the
art was beautiful and fun and the story had just as many feels as the books I
am used to reading in the same area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
never really took the time to notice how much talent it takes to project so
much of the story through a visual way when text space is limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still Ukazu managed to really show you these
characters and make you feel like you know and care for them in so few
words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This story is so much fun and I
found myself laughing constantly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Bitty
is amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the characters are
amazing really but Bitty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I adore
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is so sweet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just love his epic need to bake and be
positive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I read he made me want to
strive to do better in seeing things more positively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even when things are hard and could easily
pull one down he just keeps on going and being himself and I think everyone can
learn something from him there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mix
of hockey, college life, and the comradery of teammates was perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Having
talked with the author/artist and how she came up with the series was
amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something someone said in one
of her classes just sparked this amazing little story and I love it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My book even has an
extra Bitty drawn in the front at the event by Ukazu and it is even better
because she did it in seconds and I’m honest I can’t even draw a stick figure
well so I adore when authors doodle in my book at signings!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p>I am looking forward to the second half of this series.</span></div>

happy movie fans!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So another good
couple weeks as far as movies go even if I am having serious issues with
MoviePass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I highly doubt I'll be
continuing the service past this month and only have it now as it renewed
before I could get the app to allow me to cancel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See they have taken away my 3rd movie two
months in a row now and that simply won't do for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I don't know how this will impact my
bi-weekly movie corner in the future but I will advise when I know more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Until then here is what I’ve seen the last
two weeks:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
movie had be hooked from the trailer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was different from everything coming out as of late and that appealed to
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea of a bi-state establishment
is always kind of fun but the idea of someone watching you….that amps up the
suspense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The film has a real noir feel
to it and it is enhanced by the stellar cast for sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pace slags in small parts but the story
is there and really brings you into the characters stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed the movie, more than I thought so

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></b>Okay so I of course watched
the first movie when it came out because hello I grew up on Goosebumps books
and VHS movies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always loved them and
I enjoyed the movie it was cheesy and fun and something to enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when I heard of another and focusing on my
favorite holiday….yep of course I was down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Movie two was much the same with all sorts of creatures you know from
books and such and the ability to make fun of itself and I enjoyed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing that brought be down, and it
wasn’t even bad just something that was totally in my head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I totally had Emma Swan vibes from Once Upon
a Time from the main female, the red jacket, the black and white stripped
sweater, the long blond hair, it was there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I thought of course she had to be Emma for a costume or something
right…nope never mentioned the resemblance and even a moment in the movie where
I swear she looked just like Emma Swan just a coincidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None of this is bad just something that had
been on my mind and after some searching I found several people who had the
same thoughts so I wasn’t alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now you
can wonder too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></b>So for this one I really
wanted to read the book first but like most things I was behind schedule and
didn't want to miss out on the big screen experience so I went for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that said I can't speak to how well the
book was translated just the movie as a whole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I really liked it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
harsh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It dealt with a major issue that is sadly
nothing new, only now it is getting more light shed on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The acting was on point, Amandla Stenberg did
an amazing job with this content.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everyone else did a great job but Amandla went above and beyond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also side note Archie from Riverdale is in it
and seeing him without the bright red hair I was used to was odd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But back to the story I loved how grey and
merky everything got.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something horrible
and tragic happens and the questions and conversations it brings up are ones
that need to be addressed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really enjoyed
this movie and I can't wait to read the book to compare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

some people from work are getting together to see Halloween, which I admit to
having never seen any of those movies before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I'm trying to find the 1978 version to watch so I can join in because
scary movies with others are even better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Aside from that upcoming movies I'd like to see are Hunter Killer comes
out this week and I also still want to catch Night School and Small Foot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What about you fellow movie lovers, what
movies have you seen recently?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
should I see?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hello
happy readers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So today I have for you a
new release from the end of September and a new addition to a favorite series
of mine, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35104838-the-dark-lands">The Dark Lands</a> </i>(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Angelbound Origins </i>#5) by Christina
Bauer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this series is a bit out of
order as I’ve already read some into the spin-off series as well as book 7 in
the series, but that is just because the author is non-linear and wrote the
original series with some time jumps between them and is now writing from those
time jumps and all the adventures and shenanigans we missed out on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like to think this is because fans like
myself wanted more, and that’s what I’m going to tell myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anywho Goodreads makes things so easy for
knowing the proper order as of now and here are my reviews leading up to this
title: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://functioninginsanity.blogspot.com/2018/03/duty-bound-angelbound-orinis-05.html">Duty Bound</a></i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://functioninginsanity.blogspot.com/2013/12/angelbound-by-christina-bauer.html">Angelbound</a></i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://functioninginsanity.blogspot.com/2014/05/scala-angelbound-2-by-christina-bauer.html">Scala</a></i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://functioninginsanity.blogspot.com/2016/12/acca-angelbound-origins-3.html">Acca</a></i>, & <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://functioninginsanity.blogspot.com/2017/09/thrax-angelbound-origins-4.html">Thrax</a></i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
in this we have another adventure with our favorite quasi, Myla.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She and Lincoln are always finding some trouble
they have to stop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are trouble
magnets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time it is Lucifer and
someone trying to break him free to reign down all sorts of evil and honorary brother
Walker’s disappearance is connected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meaning
if they weren’t involved to begin with they are now for Walker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love these stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are such fast paced books they fly on
by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have a huge mystery and suspense
and tons of action carrying you along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Still no matter the seriousness of the matter Myla never loses her trademark
sarcasm and I love her for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
will always read these books for more Myla and Lincoln.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are relationship goals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus added bonus baby Maxon time was just
precious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seriously this kid is totally
adorable and how he brings complete hard core kick butt characters to a panic
is epic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is another fun adventure
as we delve deeper into the world and make new discovers about the past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed getting to see more of how things
used to be as well as learning about this whole new area and distant/reclusive
House full of new characters you can love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>All
in all this was a great addition to the world and I loved seeing Myla and
Lincoln fight so hard for Walker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has
done a lot for them over the years/series and they love him for sure and to see
them go to bat for him like he always has for them was just epic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a beautiful world I always look
forward to getting lost in, magma demons and all if Myla and Lincoln are there
too!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

her role as the daughter of Davin MacQuinn, a disgraced lord who returned to
Maevana to reclaim his house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though
she’d just survived a revolution, one that will finally return a queen to
throne, she faces yet another challenge:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Proving herself trustworthy to the MacQuinns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh’s closest

</span>During the castle’s restoration, he discovers a young boy named Tomas,
whose past and parentage are a complete mystery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when Cartier’s former pupil Brienna is as

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So book one was a huge hit with me this year.
One of my favorite debut books for sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I loved everything about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was happy with it as a stand-alone but I was thrilled to hear we’d see more in
this world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now I see we even have a
new cover!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though I admit I’m partial to
book one with the blue cloak and all but this keeps the same design and as most
sequels these days are changing the scheme on me I appreciate that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I just want more Brienna and Cartier if
I’m honest!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hello
happy readers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> So I have been slacking again, though this is partly in that I lost my USB with all my reviews temporarily (it was in my wallet for some reason) but also storm related I mean can we be done with storms for a bit please? </span>So I have finally gotten
around to the first book in this series, <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28374007-three-dark-crowns">Three Dark Crowns</a> </i>(<i>Three Dark Crowns </i>#1) by Kendare Blake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started
it a while back but I couldn’t give it the attention it needed to learn all
these new characters, powers, and overall world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That and it was one of my “I’ll wait until
close to the next book then read it….” Ones which sort of worked as the 3<sup>rd</sup>
book did recently come out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So here are
my thoughts on the first book in this new series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is ruled by one queen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each generation
is set of triplets are born, three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and
each possessing a particular magic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
they are but small children they are pulled apart and raised by their own
house:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>elemental, naturalist, or poisoner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the time comes only one can live and be
crowned, the others must die.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
sister must try to learn her gift and how to defeat her sisters for the crown before
the battle begins for the crown and life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
generation we have Mirabella the elemental, Katharine the poisoner, and Arsinoe
the naturalist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book was a bit
slower to start but if you can just hold out it is worth it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blake takes the time to introduce three separate
main queens and their life thus far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How
they have been raised including the magic of and how each group and how it
falls in the overall system of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Three separate storylines that all meld into one as the sixteenth year
approaches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each queens’ story is whole and
developed with their own characters, motivations and problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Katherine
doesn’t seem to have much of a gift despite the poisoners being at the top of
the hierarchy, and every intention of staying there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is raised in a harsh life, constantly poisoned
to build immunity and so on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is
starved for not just for a good meal but real love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still and maybe partly despite what she went
through she isn’t all doom and gloom and has an almost naivety to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arsinoe also doesn’t seem to have much of a
gift for nature but her best friend, Jules, is one of the most powerful and
trying her best to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arsinoe and
Jules and the dynamic and loyalty there is really amazing and a feel of
sisterhood that in a book about three sisters who are being raised to kill one
another might lack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last but not least
we have Mirabella who seems to be the strongest of the sisters and thus has a
stronger hand trying to guide and shape her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There
are still some questions about the world I need to know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Questions I think will come into play in book
two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved the dynamic of seeing each
girl raised differently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A real case of
nature vs. nurture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still as you try to
take all of this information in the first say quarter of the book can be a bit
of a struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You get to know one set
of characters and life then move to someone else and have to start all over
again with a new set and so on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still if
you hang in there it’s worth it as the stories unfold and meld.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found the audiobook helped tremendously
here for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally I sometimes
struggle when there are so many names/things I can’t pronounce that hit me all
at once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It messes with my flow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
the story progresses and knowing the idea of this world I found myself tallying
up who I liked more and who I wanted to win.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It gets harder with each section for sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were some things I liked about each and
some things I didn’t like as much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
is very real and human in this way with flaws as well as strengths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each queen was different and unique in her
own story and I connected to each of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I still don’t know how I want things to turn out because there are
twists and turns all over the place. Still my favorite part was the characters
and their connections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is what made
me ache for each of these girls, from the lives they lived sure, but the people
in their lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean some of the side
characters were my favorite to love/hate!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All I know is with how book one ended I can’t wait to dive into book two
and have it on my phone ready to dive right back in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

it’s my favorite time of year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t
get scared easily by “scary” things but I love being around it and watching people
try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love haunted houses, mazes,
trails and all things of the like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
love to go through and have some startling fun with friends and I love going
through with people who scare easy even more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So that said a movie about a haunted festival already had me, and made
me jealous because OMG I want to go to something like this!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But yeah add in a creepy stalker/killer into
this event and I was there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved the
idea and how crazy everything seemed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again can I say how jealous I am because this park looked like some
amazing fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even managed to see the
last showing of the night at my local theatre and for the first 5 minutes of
the film I was the only person in there (some late stragglers took that away
but they screamed at random scenes which made it even more fun for me).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aside from one eyeball scene which freaked me
out, because anything involving eyeballs is a no go for me my eyes are watering
even as I type this, but yeah the rest was great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t over the top gory either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look forward to adding this to my regular
Halloween marathon!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> Not a ton but Michael did shut the local theatre down yesterday and everyone was advised to not travel unless necessary so...there is that. Anywho still have many more to see but I enjoyed the ones I picked so I call it a win. </span>What
movies have you seen recently?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
should I see?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week I’m super
excited to see Bad Times at the El Royale and Goosebumps 2. I still have others I need to catch up on!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hello
happy readers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So today I have for you a
new to me author.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had been intrigued
by her book in the past and as I am on my way to go to an event with her today
I wanted to read at least one book first so I chose <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23203106-wink-poppy-midnight">Wink Poppy Midnight</a></i> by April Genevieve Tucholke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Story needs a hero.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every story needs a
villain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every story needs a
secret.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wink is the odd, mysterious
neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school
queen bee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Midnight is the sweet,
uncertain boy caught between them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Wink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Poppy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Midnight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Two girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One boy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three voices that burst onto the page in
short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward
something terrible or tricky or tremendous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What really happened?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone
knows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone is lying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That
is the summary of this book on Goodreads and it was the best I could do because
it is a book that is very strange in deed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Seriously this is strange but in a good way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have three very different POV’s and we go
back and forth in some ways and see different things in different ways and
never fully know what is happening and is it magical, spiritual, or something
else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The character relationships and
romance in here is really odd too but you are bulled in and fascinated trying
to untangle and unwind it all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Each
character is vastly different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Midnight
was my favorite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was caught between
some serious hard spots and still he tried to keep moving forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He kind of rolled with the punches as it
were.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Poppy was a b**ch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seriously I wanted to strangle her 99% of the
time….maybe more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes a mean bully
has something from their POV that makes up for it but her POV generally made me
dislike her all the more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wink is very odd living in a parallel story
to the books she reads to the other kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She is whimsical and never fully clear on things which at times could be
frustrating.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
is a very vague review I know but the book itself is very unique and
vague.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Strange and odd are my words for
this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has a different air to it that
just keeps you guessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book flew
by for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I listened to the audiobook
and finished it quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each chapter
flew by and I felt myself pulled in different directions and half the time
unsure which way it was going or what I wanted to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will definitely pull you out of your head
and get you lost in this world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
closest thing it reminds me of is the feeling I have when I watch American
Horror Story, I like it but half the time I'm not sure how anything will
relate, turn out, or come together, but strange as it is it usually always does
and until then just buckle in and enjoy the strange.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
liked being on my toes and kept guessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> This
movie had my interest from the start since I adore Anna Kendrick in so many of
her movies and the trailer had me hooked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I could totally relate to having a friend who seems so much more
sophisticated than myself and how sometimes you think you know people only to
find that you don't.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved the concept
and the way the movie played out was amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So many fun and smart moments to keep you on edge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had lots going for it for sure and I liked
it even more than I thought I would so that's a huge plus!</span></div>

enjoyed the movie and the visuals are amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The magic in general was well done but the house was a character all itself
and managed to be both creepy and amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

that many sadly but bright side I've really loved the two I saw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do have some more I'm excited to see and
I'm already sorting out which are top priorities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next two weeks some top contenders are
Hellfest, Night School, Small Foot, Little Women, Venom, The Hate U Give
(though I need to read the book first), <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and A Star Is Born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can't see them all<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but I do hope to see several….which do you
think sound most interesting?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
movies have you seen recently?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
should I see?</span></div>
