Ten Films that I Simply Adore

Nov 15, 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Top Ten All Time Favourite Films.

Other than books, I love going to the movies, watching movies, reading about movies. I just love films. For most films, I am there the first day watching it. Sometimes it’s even a midnight session. And then I can re-watch films over and over again. Here are some of my favourite films and they are no particular order.

Harry Potter: I couldn’t pick my favourite okay. It’s like asking a mother to pick her favourite child. However, there isn’t a time that isn’t perfect to watch Harry Potter.

Lord of the Rings: Again like Harry Potter, I can’t pick my favourite. I just love putting these movies on and falling into the world.

The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns: I have loved this movie since I was a child. I can sit down and fall in love all over again. It’s beautiful. However, I do need to find a DVD of this that doesn’t jump.

Avengers: This would not be my list if I didn’t have some Marvel on here. I loved Avengers, seeing everyone come together to fight off one evil – yes thank you.

Beauty and the Beast: One of favourite Disney films, that I could watch on reply. Again and again. I just watched the trailer for the live action and cried.

Sleeping Beauty: My other favourite Disney film – it’s just perfect okay. This is another one that I could watch over and over again.

Catching Fire: I think it’s one of my favouite of the series. Such an truthful adaptation.

Girls just want to have fun: I was introduced to this movie when I was quite young and I still watch it till this day. It’s one of those movies that puts a smile on my face, no matter the day.

The Seeker: This might be influenced by my love for Alexader Ludwig. But it’s my type of film; magic and war.

Iron Man: Okay I love Iron man – enough said. Nevertheless, I do like all the other Iron Man movies as well, but number 1 hits the spot.

Last Ten Books I’ve added to my TBR

Nov 8, 2016

I always forget to add books to be ‘to read’ shelf on Goodreads, even some of my most anticipated books aren’t on there. Most of the time I know what I want to read, the books that I normally add to the list are ones that I have never heard of before, that have just caught my eye. The thing is I don’t even go back on it to reference – anyway, here at the last ten books, I’ve added to my tbr.

Caraval by Stephanie Garber: The sound of this book intrigues me from the get go. It sounds like the magic is going to sweep me up and take me on a journey.

Asking for It by Louise O’Neill: Books that explore that is happening right now, how women/girls are treated always catches my attention. I feel like Asking for it will be raw, real and hard to read.

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab: I have yet to read anything by Victoria Schwab, but I have heard next to nothing bad, about her books. I will get to it someday. Where should I start?

Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan: I read You Know Me Well earlier this year and saw David during the Melbourne Writers Festival and damn he was good. I just want to read everything by him now.

Nova by Rebecca Yarros: Here is another one of those that I forget to add books I am looking forward to. I have loved Rebecca Yarros’ books in the past and Nova is book 2 in her new series. It’s coming out soon…I hope. (This is the cover for the first book since Nova’s cover hasn’t been released)

Lucky in Love by Kasie West: It’s Kasie West do I need to say more? Her books and heartbreaking and adorable and always what I need.

Now I Rise by Kiersten White: I loved And I Darken earlier this year and I cannot wait for more. The world is intriguing and I want to know what is going to happen on Lada and Radu’s journey.

Cold Summer by Gwen Cole: I hadn’t heard about this until I saw it pop up on my Goodreads feed a couple of weeks ago. It’s a mix of science-fiction and history partly set in World War 2 – yes, please.

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas: I loved when I read The Darkest Corners by Kara a while ago. Gosh, it messed with me, but I have a feeling that this is going to be 10 times as worse. I need it.

Avenged by Amy Tintera: When I read Ruined at the stat of the year, I knew that this series will be for me and with that ending I need Book 2 – now.

YA Book Club Reads

Nov 1, 2016

Because I am all about the YA, I thought why not share young adult books that I think book clubs might love to read. There is a range of different YA here, some older, some newer. There is a range of genre’s and authors and just a little mix of everything. Nevertheless, these are also in particular order.

YA Book Club Reads
