New Girl - Season 1 - Promotional Posters

Hi everyone! 2021 has been the year of tv reviews on my blog and I don’t plan on stopping!/Ive been loving reviewing different shows on Netflix and Disney+ but they’ve mostly been heavier shows so I thought I’d shale things up and review a comedy. I have seen the first few seasons of this show before but I was in the mood for a rewatch and I figured I’d note down my thoughts while I watched! Enjoy!

NOVEMBER TBR

November 2, 2021November 2, 2021 ~ Ellyn ~ 2 Comments

I don’t have massively high hopes for my reading this month. I’m working a lot and uni is starting up again so I really don’t think I’ll be reading much for the rest of the year, but if I do get to any books they’ll probably be on this list!

MY OCTOBER WRAP UP | 2021 | Reading all the romances! 🥰

November 1, 2021November 1, 2021 ~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! What can I say about October? It was a pretty chaotic month. I started out by practically absorbing Christina Lauren books into my skin over on Scribd and then I had 5 assignments due all in the same week and then I ran the Scoobathon. So… I was a bit busy, but very very productive! That being said, I didn’t really read all that much! I had a great start to the month and then I read almost nothing until the last week because of Scoobathon. That being said, I only have 8 more months left of uni so I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to kick this slump after that all goes away!

October 31, 2021October 31, 2021 ~ Ellyn ~ 1 Comment

Hi friends welcome back to my blog! I’ve been really getting into watching and then reviewing tv shows on my blog this year, mostly with Disney+ Marvel shows so I figured I’d shake it up a bit and rewatch and review a favourite of mine, You season 2! Originally I was going to rewatch season 1 as well but with uni I really didn’t have the time so hopefully, I’ll do that in the future. I will have a review for season 3 coming up in the next week or two though!

This is one of my favourite shows so I’m really excited to discuss it with you all!

TW: roofie-ing a minor (on-screen, she was saved), non-consensual photographs of drugged minors, violence, death, murder (on-screen), dismembering (on-screen), paedophilia, physical & mental abuse (parents, partner), being buried alive, PTSD

What If…? Season 1 (2021) Spoiler Review & Discussion | The MCU continues! 🤯🌟❤

October 9, 2021October 16, 2021 ~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! I’ve been really loving watching and reviewing the Disney+ MCU tv shows this year so this is my latest review since What If…? just finished a few days ago! I really enjoyed this one (though not as much as I expected to) so it has me very excited for season 2!

This is the part of my review where I remind everyone that all the thoughts and opinions in this blog post are just that, thoughts and opinions. No hate just because you might disagree! I’d love to know why in the comments (as long as you can be nice about it!)

You can find my reviews for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier here and Loki Season 1 here.

Let me know in the comments what you thought of the show and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the points I talked about! And let me know if you want to see more posts like this in the future!

MY OCTOBER TBR | I’m going Christmas crazy! 🎅🎄

October 1, 2021October 1, 2021 ~ Ellyn ~ 6 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m showing you all my tbr for this coming month! In September I hit a bit of a snag and got into a reading slump but I’m on my way out of it now and excited to get reading. I’m very much trying to distract myself with the thought that Christmas is coming soon so yes, I do know we haven’t had Halloween yet but we don’t actually celebrate that in Australia, so I’m moving right on to the December festivities! Don’t be suprised if there are a lot of Xmas books and movies in my wrap up!

Also, just a reminder that The Hoemance Book Club is reading A Pizza My Heart this month and I can’t wait to read it with you all! We had an absolute blast reading The Heart Principle last month!

I also wanted to mention that since I don’t do book recommendation posts quite as much on my blog anymore I have started doing them over on the Hoemance Book Club instagram account and I have some really cool posts planned for over there! You can also find us here on Twitter.
