T-L Spencer: Dreaming, Writing, Reading

Blood Prophecy: The Fated Three has received a brilliant review! Here's a little bit of it here for your viewing pleasure (and mine of course). "... I found myself developing relationships with each main character. I loved them, I was annoyed with them, but I felt for them also. This is a detail that shows just how great the writing was. The struggles within each relationship can be compared to most relationships these days and I love that Spencer kind of told a story with a lesson that was twisted into this great plot. Throw in the shape-shifters, vampires, and other supernatural powers, T.L. Spencer wrote a book that can be put up on the shelf with the other great YA Paranormal books!" Thank you to Em, the lovely reviewer! For the full review, follow this link: http://morningsstartwithem.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/book-review-blood-prophecy-fated-three.html

Even pussy cats like television... Here, Donna is enjoying Harry Potter! She has good taste. You never know, perhaps I'll find her reading the book soon!

Sea Otters are adorable. My cats remind me of them constantly! Here is a little picture I simply love :)

Books are happiness...

Here I am again, obsessing over Disney. It's because I'll be going there in December and that's just too far away in my opnion! So, to keep me (at least a little bit) sane, here are my top ten Disney Sidekicks. Ten: It's Thumper! 'If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all.' First, he's so adorable; look at him. He has cute feet and a fluffy little tail... And he's always there for Bambi. The mark of a true friend.  Nine: Jiminy Cricket: 'Always let your conscience be your guide!' Pinnochio was a puppet, he had no string sto hold him down... and he needed a guide to keep him on the straight and narrow. Enter my number nine. He's small but he has a big heart, and that really is his best quality. He has soul! Eight: Say hi to Flit and Meeko! The little bird with the anger problem and the raccoon with the eating problem! From Pocahontas, these two are a great addition to my top ten...

Books! Need I say more x

Having just completed the module of genre, studied its many facets etc I came across this gem on the Internet! It explains soooooo much!

Trying to work can be difficult at times, we all know this. There are so many things in the way: the television, five hundred good books, food, pets, books... But there is also the computer itself! Check out this picture! It is so unbelievably true, I was giggling for ages when I saw it!

Here it is, the oddest thing I believe I have EVER done... A video reading of BLOOD PROPHECY THE FATED 3.... Enjoy ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s-zD3i9JRKY

Read the book, and now I've seen the movie; to be honest I don't know if I'm disappointed or not. The first half was good, it followed the Behemoth of a book well and Emma Thompson was simply terrific! She was the perfect balance of evil and insane; loved every scene with her.   However, the romance seemed to overpower the actual story. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of romance, but Beautiful Creatures (novel) has a lot of magic too which the film seemed to lack. A shame, really. Overall, it was a film I would happily buy on DVD but I don't think it was worth a trip to the cinema.

It is on the way, that dreaded or long awaited day (depending on how you look at it) that represents love and chocolate and sweets and wishy-washy romance...  So, where does that leave you? Will you be watching films?                                                     Eating lots of chocolate? Staying in with your true love? Whatever you will be doing, I wish you peace and I wish you joy. Find love and laughter! 

"Keep Calm and Read More", that's my motto. But every now and again, films are awesome too. So, with that in mind, here are my fave novel adaptations... Ten:  Eclipse, by Stephanie Meyer Yes, here is another guilty pleasure, and in my opinion the best book adaptation of the entire saga. All the details from within the novel are captured within the film and I believe this is all down to the director, David Slade (30 Days of Night). Though many (including me on occasion) find aspects of the Twilight tale slightly convoluted, verging on twisted, Eclipse is a brilliant film. The action scenes are immense and the actors have really made the effort to make facial expressions! Nine:     The Queen of the Damned, by Anne Rice I know, I know, Anne Rice fans are reading this and screaming at the screen but I love this! It could be Stuart Townsend, but it could also be the script and the soundtrack. It may not be as accurate as Interview With a Vampire but...

Next month will be full of bite! Each day will have its own fanged mascot! I can't wait!
