How I Watch 100 Horror Movies in 92 Days

How I Watch 100 Horror Movies in 92 Days

Hi friends! At the time of me writing this post, it is less than 100 days until Halloween, but for people like me, it’s always Halloween. Although I indulge in horror content all year round, this is the time where my horror habits go up to 11 and it becomes pretty much the only thing I watch. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll probably know that for the past two years I’ve taken part in the 100 Horror Movies in 92 Days challenge. It can be a tough challenge and I’ve watched a lot of garbage, but it’s also a fun…

My Wyrd & Wonder TBR

My Wyrd & Wonder TBR

Hello hello! 👋🏻 This is my first time participating in Wyrd & Wonder and I’m very glad to be here! I don’t have a concrete plan of what I’m going to post throughout the month, but I think we’ll all have a good time anyway 🙂 The theme for this year is comfort zone, but when reading back through this post, it looks like I kind of forgot about that and went for books that are just slightly out of my comfort zone. Whoops. But then again, I’m not a hardcore fantasy fan so I guess I could be venturing out of the…

Books I Forgot That I Bought

Books I Forgot That I Bought

Hi friends! 👋🏻 Since I started working in a library, I don’t buy a lot of books anymore. Why would I need to when I have a reasonably unlimited source of books at my workplace? An unfortunate thing that comes with this is that on those rare occasions when I do buy books, I can’t remember if I already have them at home or if I got them from the library. This doesn’t happen as often anymore, but there are still times when it does happen. Recently, I found a couple of bags on my bedroom floor that had books in…

How I Read Seasonally

How I Read Seasonally

Hello again! 👋🏻 It’s been a while since I last posted and I do want to get back into posting regularly, so hopefully this is the first in a lot of regular Saturday posts. For almost the whole time I’ve been blogging, I’ve been a seasonal reader rather than a mood reader. There’s nothing wrong with being a mood reader, especially since most book bloggers are mood readers, but I’ve just never been that way. I’ve always had a very methodical way of reading that has seen different phases (when I was in school, I read two chapters before bed,…

15 Weird, Wild and Shocking Movies to Watch After ‘Saltburn’ and ‘Poor Things’

15 Weird, Wild and Shocking Movies to Watch After ‘Saltburn’ and ‘Poor Things’

Hello again! 👋🏻 Recently two movies have been causing a bit of a commotion and getting a bit of a reputation for being quite ‘shocking’: Saltburn and Poor Things. I watched both of them to see how they fared when compared to things that I usually watch, and my takeaway was that they’re not that shocking.  Actually, I didn’t like Saltburn. I thought it was a boring drama about rich people being leeched on by ‘poor’ people with nudity and couple of weird sex things that aren’t that scandalous. Poor Things was a lot better because it was funny, had characters that were interesting, but I still…
