Starting tomorrow, I'll be participating in Hamlette's March read-along of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott! She's hosting it at her other blog, The Edge of the Precipice, and you should all join! Think how much fun we'll have;)
I am so torn! I really want to join in on this read-along, but I really want to read the first two books in Divergent before the Insurgent movie comes out this month. : ( I think Divergent and Insurgent will win. But I will be thinking longingly about the fun you are all having! Maybe I will eventually pop in and join the fun.
Yeah, I may join in later. Hopefully I will get through these books quickly and then I can start on that one. I have never read it before, so would be fun!
First things first: I changed my blog look! March 1st is the first day of spring to me, and "I will brook no argument." So that means, for me, that SPRING HAS BEGUN!!! Obviously, I can't keep a winter blog look if I think it's spring , now, can I? ;) What do you all think of it? I'm pretty happy with it, though I may change the sidebar back to the right-hand side, and I might change my profile picture. And now, the post. ///// Captain America: Civil War (2016) First of all, it probably would have been better if I had seen Avengers: Age of Ultron before watching this, but no matter. My brother was able to fill in the gaps for me. This one excited many mixed feelings in me. basically I'm holding off on sharing my thoughts about most of the characters until I can get caught up on the rest of the Marvel movies (I've watched several but am quite behind on some others), but for now: I don't know whose "te
I think you all know this, but I am a rather big Ivanhoe fan. I read the book for the first time a number of months ago and absolutely fell in love. Well, now that I loved the book, I must needs try out the film adaptations, mustn't I? My first preference would have been for the 1982 version starring Anthony Andrews and Olivia Hussey, as I'd seen clips of that and they looked decent. Unfortunately, however, my library system doesn't have it, and neither does YouTube or Netflix or other such commodities:( Thus, I had to content myself with first seeing the 1997 miniseries version, which I just finished yesterday. Here are my thoughts;) Opening scene: Why is it starting with Ivanhoe being flogged? This makes little sense. *sigh* Overall…I'm torn. Certain things were done extremely well, and some were done…not so well. The main problem, put succinctly, is that it kept making me have this reaction so many times: Seriously, though. I mean, I loved t
First off, this part was the CUTEST. THING. EVER. *takes deep, shuddery breath* Okay, peoples. I'm going to try my very best to get through this review. It'll be hard. Because what even is this. For starters, let me say that I have only watched the first season of the BBC Robin Hood . This is because the show is going off Netflix on February 9th *sniffle*, so I knew there was no way I'd be able to squeeze watched 26 episodes of a very feelsy show into a mere couple of weeks. So I've watched the first season and will leave it at that until I can find some other way to watch the rest. It was also because I know That Which Happens At The End Of Season Two, and I was so not about to put myself through that when there was a danger of not being able to watch the third season. There is a possibility that I might just skip the second season and watch the third, even though that would mean missing so much of Djaq and Will and even though I've he

Aw, well, don't feel too badly--you can still join in the fun even if you aren't reading it:D
DeleteAnd I'm pretty sure this read-along will last through the end of May, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up if you want to.
DeleteArwen, thanks for the shout-out! I posted the first chapter post this afternoon :-)
Of course! Thank YOU for hosting! It was such fun to read your first post:D I'm all excited!
DeleteYeah, I may join in later. Hopefully I will get through these books quickly and then I can start on that one. I have never read it before, so would be fun!
