MOVIES AND TV SHOWS I’M EXCITED ABOUT IN 2019 // my heart will be destroyed this year
Eyy I forgot I did this post at the beginning of 2018, so here we are because I spend most days staring at a screen watching movies. I don’t actually have a life, I know. DON’T JUDGE ME!! TV SHOWS Anne With An E – Season 3: Okay now I may be wrong, but I definitely am holding out hope that this comes out in 2019. We’ll see. I am obsessed with this show, it’s so good YOU NEED TO WATCH IT! Shadowhunters – Season 3B (25 February 2019): This show is not perfect, I know. But I still like watching it every week and am very bummed that they cancelled it. 3A ended on a cliffhanger and I’m really intrigued to see where 3B goes, I hope they don’t mess it up. Game of Thrones – Season 8 (April 2019): I forgot we were getting more GoT this year and I AM SO EXCITED. We’ve been waiting long enough and season 8 is going to be so intense, I’m SCARED! The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – Season 2 (5 April 2019): I binged the first season of the show when it came out and it’s so creepy and scares…

MY FAVOURITE YA BOOK-TO-MOVIE ADAPTATIONS // ft. all the movie love
You don’t even know how long this post has sat in my drafts and I’ve only now gotten to it… *nervous laughter*. I don’t have much else to say so let’s just get into this. HARRY POTTER I mean how could I not? I’ve watched these movies countless times. I’m really unoriginal, I know. My favourites are the last two, those are constantly on repeat. The set is amazing, the actors are perfect. I’ve loved them since I was 11 years old so I mean?? Is there really much else to say? LOVE, SIMON I know, I know, I did warn you that I was unoriginal. This movie was so good and quickly became a favourite. It’s such a good adaptation. The movie is adorable and perfect. They made one change that wasn’t my favourite, but the casting was so perfect. Click here for my movie review! I just,,,, BEFORE I FALL Okay, I have not read the book so I can’t speak as to how accurate the adaptation is, but if you didn’t know, I’m not an easy cryer. I mean it takes a lot to cry during a book or movie. But by the end of this movie,…

Review: WHAT IF IT'S US // Bargain Books collaboration ft. cuteness, many laughs and rom com recommendations
Title: What If It’s Us Author: Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera Page count: 437 Date published: 9 October 2018 Genre: Young Adult contemporary Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) GOODREADS SYNOPSIS: Arthur is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. Ben thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited. But what if they can’t quite nail a first date . . . or a second first date . . . or a third? What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work . . . and Ben doesn’t try hard enough? What if life really isn’t like a Broadway play? But what if it is? This book was sent to me by Bargain Books to read and review, but all thoughts…

MINI MOVIE REVIEWS // superheroes + many bad yet entertaining watches
I was sitting around one day and realised that it had been 5ever since I did one of these posts so here we are today… Also click here if you’d like to see my twitter thread of all the movies I watched and some aesthetics Twilight: New Moon A friend and I just really wanted to re-experience these movies and for some reason chose my least favourite one #noregrets. This was just a trip down memory lane and even though these movies are kinda horrible and the story is hecka problematic, I still loved rewatching. And the soundtrack is top-notch!! Avengers: Infinity War Why did I even watch this movie? I’m just left with a gazillion questions!! First off I missed the first 20 minutes when my siblings were watching it and I just landed up finishing it and THAT ENDING. I still need to watch the more recent extra movies like Guardians 2, Black Panther and Doctor Strange (I will before the next movie). I feel like this movie has made everyone freak but I’m like um they’re tricking us all. I’m not going to spoil anything but I KNOW there’s more. Anyways, I really loved this movie and…

MINI MOVIE REVIEWS // royalty, magical lands, superpowers, music & gardens
Um wow so I’m like a pro at being active on the internet #ha. No but seriously I’m awesome at disappearing for week long periods. Again click here for the link to aesthetics for all these movies 🙂 The Prince & Me Eyyy so I decided to watch this one again as inspiration for my book. I actually liked it a lot less than I remember. I love the main character Paige but didn’t love the romance as much. It’s still great but kinda a bit underwhelming?? Midnight Sun I was actually crying by the end of this movie. It was actually really good?? It stars Bella Thorne and it’s basically about a girl who cannot be in the sun and there’s a romance. Its a story about discovering yourself and coming out of your shell and I actually really enjoyed it. 10 Things I Hate About You So this is actually a weird story, don’t come at me: I thought this movie was SO overrated and thought that I’d dislike it. But if you didn’t know, I basically had a chick flick marathon so I decided to watch this one, you know because I’m older and can appreciate movies…

LOVE, SIMON // movie review ft. me gushing about the adorable-ness
I finally got to see and I’m dying inside. This movie man! It was so GOOD AND I LOVED IT. I had some issues but it was perfection otherwise. The characters are exactly how they should be and ahh just so good! I’ve seen it twice and am definetly going to see it on the big screen. REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO WATCH LOVE, SIMON: The representation The characters are amazing The pop culture references are awesome The casts’ smiles are everything It’s just great and needs to be seen To those who don’t know what this movie is about well let me brief you: Simon is gay but hasn’t come out yet. He starts anonomously emailing another gay boy at his school until someone finds them and blackmails him. The movie stays really close to the book. All the best scenes are in it and it’s a great adaptation and everything you’d want from the book. HERE, WATCH THE TRAILER: I took notes the second time around so have quite a bit to talk about!! Emily (mom): Jennifer Garner is amazing and she played the role so well, I loved it! Jack (dad): Also amazing! Nick: I was never…

MINI MOVIE REVIEWS // a chick flick craze
HELLO! So I’ve watched a TON of movies recently, and basically only chick flicks (high school hate to love romances in particular). DON’T JUDGE! Because I’ve had a grand old time and have found some new favourites. Anyways lemme tell you what I’ve been watching. Also click here for my list of aesthetics for these movies (my way of actually keeping track of what I watch) Sleeping Beauty If you’ve been following me around lately you know that I’ve also been on a bit of a disney animated princess kick. So I put this one on and like I’m surprised to say that I enjoyed it much more than I thought. I loved the music and the Prince is great and it was truly such fun! Ruby Sparks So I this movie and I was like THIS SOUNDS PERFECT. Basically, it’s about a writer who writes this character Ruby who he falls in love with. The first hour or so was great but then I started getting this weird feeling and it started getting really emotional which was not what I expected from this movie. It was really good don’t get me wrong but like I didn’t see the movie…

ANASTASIA // Russian history, princesses, thoughts + tag
So I’ve been in the biggest Disney princess mood lately. Don’t ask me why… i’m just a dork okay? AND I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS, hence this post. Anastasia isn’t really a Disney princess but she is a historical one which I’ll get into later. Anywayssss let’s go! I take history as a subject at school and we’ve been doing The Russian Revolution. I went into this movie having forgotten all about it. We’ve had the dvd (!!) and I’ve seen it before and had a vague overview of it. Anyway off topic and I’m rambling now… I didn’t know all that much. Then I start watching it and it’s literally what I’ve been doing at school which is SUPER awesome. I also researched it and there was a theory of a lost princess named Anastasia. About the plot: it all flowed very nicely. It was captivating and not at all boring. It’s funny and entertaining. I haven’t mentioned iit yet: GO AND WATCH if you haven’t! Rasputin (the villain): He’s your typical bad guy. He’s just so evil and determined which is want you want in a villain. Bartok (weird creature thingy): He’s that comic relief who isn’t…
