Weekly Obsessions

The awesome Kelly at KellyVision started posting a weekly post highlighting whatever she happened to be obsessed with that week. I LOVE this idea, so much in fact that I will be doing it myself every weekend. 

BOOK

Cover of If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy (goodreads)

Disney is launching a new adult series that reimagines classic Disney Princesses in a contemporary setting. The first book in the 'Meant To Be' series is If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy.

Amazing cover and I am so excited to read this twist on Cinderella. It's pretty much a Disney rom-com and I am definitely the target audience.

Cover of Darling by K. Ancrum (goodreads)

I love Peter Pan retellings. I especially love those that twist the classic tale and this one is definitely doing just that with its darker take on the boy who wouldn't grown up.

How amazing is this cover though? It's stunning. It is a cover that makes you pause and read the synopsis when you see it on the shelf at the bookstore. I cannot wait to add it to my own bookshelf.

TV/MOVIES

Promising Young Woman Poster

I love everything about this. Absolutely everything.

This poster immediately captures what this movie is and what it is about. I have been looking forward to this one since the first trailer was released and I am so happy to see it back on the release schedule. 

Mank Trailer

David Fincher + Old Hollywood = made for me. I have been very excited about this movie pretty much from the second I heard about it. It revolves around the making of Citizen Cane with particular attention to the relationship between Orson Welles and Herman Mankiewicz as they wrote the script.

 

It looks like a classic Hollywood movie! The cinematography is incredible. The cast seems pretty stacked as well. I predict a lot of Oscar nominations and perhaps even some wins.

Promising Young Woman Trailer

This is probably one of the best trailers I've ever seen. It's so captivating. It's a timely look at an important topic given a revenge slant. 

I am going to be interested to see how people react to this because it seems made to cause a REACTION. It is going to be controversial just based on the trailers and I am very excited for the conversation that is going to come from this.

BOOKS

Cover for The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige (goodreads)

Paranormal, particularly in young adult, is back and I could not be happier. Witches seem to be part of the upcoming trend and I am here for all of it. I am especially looking forward to this modern take on witches set in a sorority.

The colour scheme of this novel is what immediately caught my eye. The splashes of pink on the black fit the witches in a sorority vibe perfectly in my opinion. This one doesn't come out until January of 2021 so we have a bit of a wait but the cover certainly got my attention.

MOVIES/TV

Trailer for Locke and Key

I recently devoured the Locke and Key series and fell in love. It's a story of grief and childhood that plays against a sort of horror backdrop. I was hesitant about the television series after reading it, but the trailer has brought me fully on board.

Bode's casting is PERFECTION and so much of the tone of the story seems to have been captured here. I am cautiously optimistic.

Promising Young Woman Trailer

I have not been able to stop thinking about this trailer since I first saw it. It's smart, biting, and already causing a lot of discussion.

Carey Mulligan looks to be giving a goosebumps giving performance in this and the subject matter could not be more timely.
