Review: Lovely War by Julie Berry

Review: Lovely War by Julie Berry

[book-info]

  I’ll admit that this was partially a cover buy for me, although it was a cover buy because it was so obviously historical and the pink coat screamed romance so that’s all it takes to draw me in sometimes. I bought this one around the same time that I bought and read another novelthat I didn’t really get on with. Because of that, it took me a lot longer to get around to reading this…

Anticipated September Releases

So this is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now, partly to help myself keep tracks of new releases I’m interested in and partly because I honestly just want an excuse to talk more about books.

September is a pretty hectic month for publishing apparently, because there’s a lot of releases this month and so I’m pretty much 100% certain that I’ve missed some. I might do a follow-up post to…

Becca's Bookoplathon, Space Opera September, Buzzwordathon & More

Becca’s Bookoplathon, Space Opera September, Buzzwordathon & More

So I’ve decided that I want to join and participate in a couple of different readathons this month. Specifically Becca’s Bookoplathon and Space Opera September(this is the prompt video) (who are both month-long readathons) as well as Buzzwordathon. 

I sort of want to see if I can fit in any shorter readathons as well, but I think I’ll pick my books for the three I mentioned first and see…

January TBR

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a TBR and I’m trying to ease myself a little into it so I haven’t added too many books. I also tried to make sure I have a variety of genres so that I’ll hopefully find something that piques my interest. I’ve more or less chosen one book per week, although there are two books that release later this month and a comic.

I don’t think I’ll necessarily join any…

Big Book Challenge 2019

Big Book Challenge 2019

As I mentioned in my Reading Goals For 2019 post, I’m going to be attempting a couple of challenges this year and one of them is to read more books that are on the longer side (in my case that means more than 500 pages long). This is inspired by Books With Emily Fox‘s challenge.

Initially I did want to attempt to read 12 books this year, but seeing how I’ve felt a little burnt out I’m going to…

Reading Goals For 2019

Reading Goals For 2019

So, we’ve finally entered a New Year and with it comes a whole bunch of goals and resolutions. I know some people also look back on 2018, but frankly last year wasn’t a very good reading year and I don’t really want to look back on it so I’m not going to. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t exactly the best reading year I’ve had either.

Instead I’m going to jump right into my plans and goals for…

So it took this whole tumblr drama for me to update my tumblr. I have been using it, I’ve just been lurking. I haven’t watched as many dramas lately (though I am about to finish my 16th rewatch of Healer) hence the quiet. I’ve just kind of struggled to find something I really wanted to watch. Anyway. Still here. I don’t appear to have any flagged posts. I am (hopefully) going to be a little bit more active. The kdrama community on twitter doesn’t appear (?? correct me if I’m wrong) to be as active but I would appreciate it if there are places where I could connect with people since I do love kdramas (and chinese, japanese, taiwanese etc.) still and would still like to talk to people :)

So yeah, if there are places were people actively post I’d appreciate hearing about them so I can check it out. Maybe broadening my horizons will lead me to dramas I’d love to watch too :)

Review: The Supervillain and Me by Danielle Banas

Review: The Supervillain and Me by Danielle Banas

[book-info]

I did go into it thinking I was going to enjoy it quite a bit and then… Well.

In this world we have superheroes, or supers, who fight criminals and help keep the city safe/help the police. So far the supers have largely used their powers for good and so most of the villains they have fought have been non-powered normal villains.

That changes and the one to change it is the same guy…

Weekly TBR & PTW #2 | Week 14

Weekly TBR & PTW #2 | Week 14

The Weekly TBR (To-Be-Read) is a weekly feature where I talk about the books I’m hoping to read that week. It’s not a strict must-read, but something to hold me at least a little bit accountable as well as a guide for me to fall back on when I’m not sure what to read.

Sometimes, like today, I will also include other forms of media in this feature. That could be media like gaming, tv shows or…

November in Dramaland

I know I haven’t been posting much (if any) drama related posts lately, but I kind of fell behind a little, but I’m going to try to get back to it in November (while doing a readathon, NaNoWriMo and getting out of my reading slump, yeah, it’s a little ambitious). The dramas I’m going to mention aren’t necessarily dramas that are starting in November nor are they all still running though some are.…

I'm going to watch this more or less because Darren Wang is in this and I loved him in Our Times and pretty much decided to watch anything he or Vivian Sung is in.

Judging by the amount of School 2017 posts on my dash I'm starting to feel like I need to watch it now. But I have so much to watch already!

[metaforia]

So I got a forward helix and two helixes today in my left ear. I have three helixes in my right ear already, and i I just really want to go back and get a rook too!

This show was so much fun! I loved the story, the characters, the chemistry between ALL the actors (and especially our main lead). It was just such a fulfilling drama with fluff and humor and the occasional heavy scene. So good! I kinda want to rewatch it already!

And the kisses were pretty awesome too, not gonna lie. I want an On Dal of my own!

The Best Hit will be a good segway from the last episode of Lookout, right? Right? ... I have so much to catch up on it's not even funny. Like Circle, My Sassy Girl, Ruler of the Mask, Suspicious Partner, Seven Day Queen and probably something else I'm forgetting.

[metaforia]

I’m watching The Moon Embracing the Sun (because never mind about the dramas starting on the 22nd that I want to watch, let’s add ANOTHER one to the mix!) And Remus is chilling on the couch behind me (and yes I’ll use any excuse to post photos of him! 😂)

Between this, Ruler: Master of the Mask, My Sassy Girl and Seven Day Queen I’m going to get a pretty good fill of sageuk dramas! But that’s okay, I still (for awhile) have My Secret Romance, and I am watching Suspicious Partner too. And soon Lookout and Fight My Way will start too.

I’m really hoping I won’t come across any other dramas airing soon, 5-7 dramas airing at once is more than what I typically take on.

That said, I’m still totally checking out MDL too see if there’s any other ones I should keep an eye on!

Edit: I already remembered another one; Circle.
