One of the things I know about people is that they tend to be pretty opinionated. I am definitely that realm sometimes, but I have to admit that I have some serious moments of indecisiveness. Because of my indecisiveness and the fact that I read Hamlet recently with my class, I thought it might be fun to make myself do a tag where I have to make some decisions.
Tag Tuesday | #booksanddisneyvillains
Disney was such a formative thing for me as a kid. I used to watch the movies all the time, and my mom tells me that my favourite when I was really little was 101 Dalmatians. I’d ask her over and over to watch ‘Dogs’. However, I was never super into the villains. When I got older, I got a bit more of an understanding of the character and when I watch the movies now, I understand the depth of their characterization. I’m still not much of a villain lover today, but they’re really interesting.
Film Friday | Ashley’s Horror Movie Recommendations
I can’t say that I love horror movies, but I have to admit that I really do enjoy them. They can totally be hit or miss because some of them are really, really bad, but some of them are so impressively well done. As we move into October, I am planning on watching some spooky films and I figured it might be fun to recommend some of my favourites for you to add to your films to watch.
Top 5 Thursday | Things I am Thankful For
Thanksgiving has rolled around in Canada and I thought it might be a good time to talk about some things that I’m thankful for.
Misc Monday | Anticipated October Releases
The problem with being a book lover and a voracious reader is that even though you read a lot, there are always so many new and wonderful books coming out. I have so many authors that I love and want to support, and there are so many books coming out from authors that I have never read that I’m definitely interested in.
Book Review | Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou
**Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Love, Heather from Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for review purposes. Thank you to them for this opportunity.
Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou is a YA contemporary, with some mystery/thriller aspects, that draws inspiration from classic 80s revenge flicks. It is set in Canada and primarily revolves around a girl named Stevie who is a freshman in high school and struggling with certain social dynamics. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads. It publishes on October 8th.
Film Friday | Ashley’s October Movie Plans
I am so into the Halloween and spooky vibes thing. I am really looking forward to all the things that come with October like candy, decorations, costumes, and spooky movies. Every year I always make plans to watch some scary movies, and I don’t always follow through.
Writing Wednesday | A Story About War
This week’s prompt is ‘A Story About War’. It’s a shorter one, but check it out below the cut!
Ashley’s October TBR
October is here! I can’t believe we’re already here. This year has gone so quickly. I have to admit that I’m really excited about October. I’m not as obsessed as some people, but I really do find myself enjoying the spooky vibes that come along with the month. I love Halloween, and scary movies, so I’m definitely going to take some time to enjoy myself this month. That being said I am hoping to pick up some spooky reads this month. My reading plans are below the cut.
Ashley’s September Wrap Up
September was a bad reading month for me if I compare it to the previous month. In August I read so many books, and I felt like I did a really good job. However, my circumstances changed a little as we moved into September, so I didn’t get nearly as much read. I suppose that’s what happens when you go back to work and there are lots of other commitments on my plate then I had in August. However, I have to remind myself that ## is still a good amount of books to read and that 30 in one month is pretty abnormal unless one is reading purely graphic novels. Anyways, lets jump into what I read under the cut.
