Stephy Thoughts

If I remember correctly, this was the first book I ever read in this series. And because of it, I refused to stop reading this series. I just really like Lynsay Sands' writing. She mixes angst, humor, action and romance really well and makes her books all enjoyable. And this book was no different. I also like that you can pick up any book in the series and it can stand on it's own as a simple paranormal romance. Reading the entire series in order gives you more, but, like I said, I think this was the first book I read in the series, and I wasn't lost or confused about what was going on, or who was who.

But enough about the series. I'm here to ramble about this book.

Lovely book. 

Characters are all fun and interesting. I like that Marguerite graduated from meddling mother to meddling aunt. I love Marguerite and her meddling, honestly. It's fun. Tiny is a massive trope. Big guy named Tiny that likes to cook? Yeah. That's a trope. But it's one I like, so no complaints from me. Jackie has some nice character growth. And Vincent is the right amount of brooding vampire that it doesn't become annoying. 

The spice is light. While there is some mild sex scenes, the book is more focused on the emotional side of the romance. 

All in all, great book. Great series. Great author. Highly recommend if you like paranormal romance.

 

6 Things That Won't Get Their Own Blog Post

Oh my. It has been awhile.

It took me awhile to adjust to the new job thing. And when I finally did, shit went to hell at work. And it has been a roller coaster of hell since. But hey! I have done some things besides work. So here is a post! A short one, but it is a post.

 

Hillbilly Diner's Omega 

by Corie Rosling

I should have predicted the West Virginia connection after the three paragraphs about pepperoni rolls. Which... Those three paragraphs were the best part of the entire book.  It was just... not good...

Single White Vampire 

by Lynsay Sands

This book was going to get its own post. I swear. Got it in the drafts folder and everything. But, I finished it around the time I started my new job... Three months ago [it's been almost a year now... I have been really slacking on my online presence. Whoops.]. So, I have forgotten most the details. Especially since I started the next book in the series already. Let's see what I remember...

Lucern Argeneau is a writer, he started with non-fiction but recently transitioned into paranormal romance novels. Which are re-tellings of his siblings finding love. Okay. Weirdo. Kate Leever is his editor who wants him to do some publicity. Which Lucern doesn't want to do because he's a grouchy vampire. 

Lucern finally agrees to doing a convention thanks to his meddling mother. And while at the convention, Lucern and Kate fall in love.

As always, enjoyed this one. Love this series.

 

Five Nights at Freddy's

I don't feel like I know enough about the franchise to give this a worthy blog post. So, here it is. As someone who knows very little about the games, I thought the movie was pretty good. Just a fun little horror movie about animatronics that come to life and murder. That murder cupcake is fucking adorable by the way. Also, I love Matthew Lillard. Dude is just fantastic.

Unveiling Korean Mythology

by A.S Mason

I wanted a book on Korean mythology. This one was okay. But not great. Instead of just telling the stories, this book summarized the stories, which was kind of annoying, in my opinion. 

 

 

The Radium Girls 

by Kate Moore

This book was really good. But really heartbreaking. It was about a group of women who got radiation poisoning and their fight to get the help they deserved. I recommend it if you want to know more about the subject.

 

 Tall, Dark & Hungry 

by Lynsay Sands

Another book in Lynsay Sands' Aregeneau series.  In this one Bastien Argeneau meets his future sister-in-law's cousin. Who is in town for Kate and Lucern's wedding. Oh, and they fall in love, of course. I love this series and I love this book. 

Okay. That's all for this one. 

I got a few more in the drafts. And am also working on a new book review format (might also use it for movies and video games, still deciding). No idea how it will work for me, but we will see.

Stephy Plays Animal Crossing: New Horizons

 

I shook the trees. I found bees... What sort of goodies are those, Isabelle?

I cannot remember what he sent me...

I love Celeste. I miss making constellations for her...

 

My brother was like that as a kid. He was constantly tearing things apart to see how they worked. And then forget how they went back together.

I love my monster statue... Who watches over my island.

It's freaking me out, too. Stop saying it...

Oh, I need that gold cat...

That's all for this one.

Also, as anyone who still pays attention to my ramblings on here, I haven't been posting weekly as I used to. Real life is kicking my ass. So, until further notice, instead of a new post every Wednesday, I'll just post whenever I have something ready to go.

If you're cool you can come follow me on Tumblr, where I am sort of vaguely a bit active. But only if you're cool. Non-cool people can find me on Facebook or something...

 Last time on Hades:

Got a new room on my house.

Just a note, the formatting went a bit wonky on this one and I am too mentally exhausted to figure out how to fix it. Sorry?

Oh, Gullivarrr...

 

This villager lives in a laundromat apparently...

I always feel so bad for startling Wisp...

 

6 Things That Won't Get Their Own Post - Part 6

 

 

The Labyrinth (2021)

Not the David Bowie movie. Though I do find that movie quite enjoyable. This one is the Korean movie based off of the video game White Day: A Labyrinth Named School. Basic plot is a group of students enter a school at night and have to deal with *spooky voice* ghooooosts.

Movie was a fun watch. A few changes from the game but oh well, that shit happens. Though, the special effects did not seem to be up to 2021 standards. Just a fun horror movie watch that wasn't overly great or overly bad. I do highly recommend the game. If you don't wanna play it, there are some great playthroughs on YouTube (I made a playlist).

 

Scream 3

I had watched this one before, but all I could remember was the Jay and Silent Bob cameo. Not a bad entry into the series, but... Not a great one either. Better than The Blair Witch Project, though 🤷

 

Scream 4

 The opening for this one had me screaming in annoyance. Like holy shit. I thought the whole movie was just gonna be girls getting murdered before the Stab title flashed across the screen. But no, I got an actual movie. Which was pretty good. I am almost positive that the big twist ending was ruined for me, but I forgot until it was revealed. 

 

Venom

I watched the trailer for the new Venom movie. Remembered I had never watched the second Venom movie. So I watched the first Venom movie. Because my decisions make a lot of sense...

I love this movie.

Over the Garden Wall

I heard this show compared to Gravity Falls a lot, and I love Gravity Falls. So I figured it was worth checking out. Good show. Fun, short, a bit twisty. Oh, and Elijah Wood is there!

Cutie and the Beast 

by E.J. Russell

A banished fae decides to become a psychiatrist to the supernatural community. Then his receptionist goes on maternity leave and he needs a temp. The temp that is sent is a human who doesn't know anything about the supernatural world. And they are gonna kiss. 

This was a fun read.

Finished my T-Rex! Woooooo!

 

Wow. Seven bells. I get more when I shake trees...

Who is Eunice?

Dude has a rad house...

You can't tell from pictures, but the fish move! I love it!
