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 Saturday.

BOOK

Cover for The Stars We Steal by Alexa Donne (goodreads)

The cover for this one is stunning! I love how the colours compliment each other here. The gold rose really pops off the page.

The synopsis sold me with 'whiskey ship'. That was pretty much all I needed to be very excited but it helps that the rest of it sounds great as well.

MOVIE / TELEVISION

Us Movie Poster

I, along with a lot of other people, have been eagerly awaiting more details about Jordan Peele's next movie after Get Out. The studio was being careful and not really revealing too much about his next movie. We got a title and a release date and that was pretty much it ... until now.

This movie poster was released and we learned that the trailer will arrive on Christmas day. I have a billion more questions after seeing this poster and am counting down the days until I can see the trailer!

OTHER

Romeo and Juliet Funko Pops

Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet is probably my favourite adaptation of Shakespeare's play. I love how over the top it is, and how vibrant and colourful. I also love the cleverness with how they modernized the play itself while still having the dialogue fit.

Funko recently announced that they will be releasing three Pops from the movie and I am going to need all three of them.

I love the two Romeos! I love the wings on the Juliet Pop! I cannot wait to add these to my collection.

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 Saturday.

Here are my obsessions this week:

TV

Friday Night Lights

So Emilie (from Emilie's Book World) and Katie (from Bookishly Yours) have been telling me how amazing this show is. EVERYONE has been telling me to watch it. Finally gave in and started it. It really surprised me, and  I am now addicted. LOVE Tim Riggins, and Matt Saracen especially. I will be devouring the rest of this series immediately.

MOVIE

Romeo and Juliet trailer

I love this play so much. I love that they decided to do a straight adaptation and not modernize it. I adore Baz Luhrmann's version, but have a soft spot for the classic. All I have to say about this trailer is - Ed Westwick as Tybalt. I love that they ended it with one of my favourite lines

"Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun."

Now all we need is for an official release date for North America and I will be happy.

Book Expo America

With the event just about a month away I am getting antsy for a schedule. I would love one to start planning and make the tough choices about which autograph sessions to attend. I am beyond excited about this year as it seems to have a fantastic line up of authors and events.
