Yes, that’s right my queens, kings and monarchs, I have recently rejoined the fans of reading. I rediscovered my kindle in the depths of a drawer and said come on hun let’s show you the world. After my review of ACOTAR I have been HOUNDED to do more reviews and am happy to oblige honestly. Therefore this month I shall supply you with multiple reviews to whet your whisltes. (NA some of these are fantasy books so if you don’t like that then tough shit). Also SPOILER WARNING.
ACOTAR cont.
Book 2 - A Court of Mist and Fury.
Fury indeed babes. Our main gal Feyre has now become a fairy person and no longer has IBS, has pointy ears and is even more stunning than before, YAY. Unfortunately she is still with her original bf who helped her 0 when she was basically killed and brought back to life in Takeshi’s Castle. BOO. She has to go to this other guy’s house as they seem to have joint custody of her ( I know) and he’s really hot and considerate but also everyone probably needs to just leave her alone a bit. He teaches her to read and she’s pretty sour about it. There’s a dramatic wedding ceremony kidnapping scene, which I honestly would love to witness in real life, and a lot of roaring, growling, jaw clenching and bemusement (I don’t think the author knows what bemused means). Feyre inappropriately redecorates a cherished, old family log cabin after a ‘one bed that the two love interests have to share at the inn’ moment then proceeds to get engaged after offering a man a bowl of soup and her sisters get kidnapped and thrown in a free standing bath. By the end she’s a literacy queen!!!!
Book 3 - A Court of Lies, Deceit and Endless Talk about Wingspan.
Our girl Feyre is giving the performance of her life and everyone’s fallen for it aside from our favourite eye patched king. She’s giving Kim Possible realness whilst pretending she loves her weirdo ex and painting under duress. She is apparently really good at painting and everyone loves her pics btw (I’m sceptical). Eventually she outs herself as an international woman of espionage and goes back to her winged bf. Her sister’s are obviously still traumatised and noone’s particularly sympathetic which gets irritating. One sister is a right bitch and I love her. The other likes to garden. Lots happens including an inappropriate sex scene in a tent surrounded by audibly wounded and dying soldiers. The free-standing bath makes a comeback and pisses everyone off again. Someone dies and then comes back to life which is getting a bit old and the bitch sister beheads someone to impress her crush and for revenge (love love love).
Fourth Wing
If you don’t like the frail bookworm becomes the greatest cadet of all time trope then you’ll HATEEEE this book. I enjoyed that it had dragons because why not. The men will respect you but also try to protect you, classic. Oh and everyone either fancies the main character because she’s super smart or wants to kill her because her mum executed their parents (eek).
Wolf Hall
I’m only part way through this one but she’s a whopper babes so bare with. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Tudors so this book really tickles my pickle. It’s a bit hard to follow at times because there are 5,000 all vying for the throne but that’s part of the fun. Can’t wait for a beheading!!!!
Diva Departures
*TW* This next section is about ladies meeting their untimely ends.
Now, I know what you’re thinking (I don’t). “This is an odd section”, but i’m trying something out here and who doesn’t love a bit of mystery and intrigue!?
Our first DIVA DEPARTURES feature is going to be on none other than Natalie Wood.
Known for her starring role in West Side Story, she was quite the Hollywood darling and married to Richard Wagner ( no idea who he is but apparently famous and not a composer). Anyway, on a chilly November night in 1981, our Hollywood darling was galavanting on her yacht Splendour with said husband and her co-star Christopher Walken. After some drinks she mysteriously was no longer to be found aboard the boat. The official tale says she drowned by accident after venturing into the night to fuss with a dinghy (SUS). What was she doing on a dinghy in the middle of the night you might ask. Short answer: No clue.
Her drowning was ruled an accidental death BUT this is where it gets juicy.
Wood was known to have a deathly fear of deep water (why own and frequent a yacht babe?) and neighbours claim to have heard a woman screaming for help in the night when she drowned. Her husband is still deemed a person of interest but has never been formally charged with anything and maintains his innocence. However the captain of the ship stated that the two had been arguing prior to the disappearance and that he delayed calling for help.
This is quite the mystery and I am quite invested I must say. I have enjoyed researching this and if you like I am happy to continue my series with other cases in more detail. Just lmk in the comments hunniz.
A tale of terrible wigs…
The time has come. I am to review Babygirl. Arguably one of the worst films I have ever seen.
First of all I would like to start by calling out Nicole Kidman’s wig team for the atrocious job they did throughout this film. They looked ratty and like they were about to slide off constantly. 0/10 for wigs
The film is a bit jarring from beginning to end. I will say there were points where I thought to myself am I a prude? Is this supposed to be sexy? Why on EARTH is she so embarrassingly horny for a 28 year old intern?!
At one point she goes in full office attire to an underground club where they make her outfit go from business smart to slutty cami and pencil skirt by just taking her blouse off. She also downs a whole glass of milk at a work drinks and then wonders how people sussed out that she was having some weird affair with an intern…
I would give this film a 1/10. The only character that was vaguely ok was Antonio Banderas and they also made him hard to like.
Let this be a lesson to you lady CEOs. If you have daddy issues and want to be dominated maybe look outside the office and invest in some better wigs.
