Happy Thanksgiving and General Excitement
It’s that time of year again. Yeah, it’s time for all of the Americans out there to stuff themselves with turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie, along with the other foods of their choice (which vary from home to home). For all of my fellow Americans, Happy Thanksgiving! For everyone else, happy holiday! Yes, I knowContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving and General Excitement”

An Open Letter: Don’t Go to the Darkside, their Cookies are Burned
Dear Authors Everywhere, As I explained in this post, the future for book-to-movie adaptations is not bright. Lord of the Rings turned out well, most of the Harry Potter movies were great, and the Twilight and Hunger Games movies have managed to improve, but don’t let that fool you. The flops far outweigh the successes.Continue reading “An Open Letter: Don’t Go to the Darkside, their Cookies are Burned”

Here’s a list ofContinue reading “Five Settings that Sucked Me In”
Arrangements that Capture the Essence of their Literary Brothers
Some of my favorite instrumental pieces are those that are in someway linked to books. Yup, I’m a book nerd to my very core. Instrumental music is by far my favorite type, so that does help things. Even when I come across a rendition/cover to a book that I haven’t read before, I have toContinue reading “Arrangements that Capture the Essence of their Literary Brothers”
Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Movies or TV Shows
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week I’m sharing my top ten movies or TV shows. But I’m actually going to put both a mix of TV shows and movies on this list. As usual, this is no particular order. Downton Abbey The Dark Knight Pride &Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Movies or TV Shows”

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week I’m sharing my top ten classics (could be traditional or books I consider classics for whatever reason).
