Movie Review: Thor: The Dark World (Thor #2)

Oh my god so I haven't written a review in forever and honestly its been bugging me because whenever I read or watch something I immediately start waking mental review notes and this movie was the last straw so I'M BACK. I'm also ten times weirder. Also I'm super pumped because I just watched this movie like two hours ago and whooooooooooo

Movie Review: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013)

I'm sorry for delaying the Perpetual Motion Club. But I watched this movie today, and I've been getting increasing worked up about it. Between listening to the soundtrack on loop and reading opinions on the movie, I am getting very very angry.

Book Review: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (Miss Peregrine #1)

I know, I'm way overdue with The Perpetual Motion Club, which seems pretty interesting so far. But my ARC reading time has been forcibly cut down, and I had this old thing lying around that I hadn't read yet. Also my review was written when I was high on adrenaline from watching City of Bones and listening to the soundtrack on loop.

Trigger Warnings: Visually triggering, I suppose? There's some mild horror, especially in the pictures. Be warned.

Book Review: Surfacing by Shana Norris (Swan's Landing #1)

Whoa so it's been ages since I've posted anything, mostly because I've been procrastinating on this book and also because I started watching Bones. But I received this book from Shana Norris via NetGalley and I'm delighted to review this.

Spoiler Alert: Spoilers. Since the book already came out. But not too many plot points given away, just enough for my honest opinion.

Feature and Follow Friday #8

Wow so I haven't done one of these for AGES. I've been procrastinating, I guess.

This week's featured blogger is:

The Mile Long Bookshelf

How do you handle a book you don't like? Do you DNF or do you power through?

Well, since I've been reading lots lately, a lot of plots have been repeating for me and I get faced with this situation more that I'd like. I really try to appreciate books. So I usually end up enjoying a plot enough to finish it. 

If I really hate it that much, I usually procrastinate on it, you know, surfing the net, reading other books and watching TV shows, but I usually pull myself through to the end. There are a few books, of course that I've completely given up on. But they are very few. And I usually stop with the intent to try again some time in the future. I never throw books out for this reason. 

And so concludes my RETURN TO FEATURE AND FOLLOW FRIDAY!
