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

The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh (Goodreads)

Paranormal is one of my favourite genres. Vampire stories, in particular, are my favourite. You can imagine my excitement when it was announced that a new vampire series was on the way from author Renee Ahdieh. Her new series, The Beautiful, blends vampires, a murder mystery, New Orleans, and romance into what sounds like an INCREDIBLE read. I am hoping it marks the return of the paranormal genre!

The first book in the series will be released in October 2019 so it's a long wait for it but go ahead and add it to your 'to be read' list because I predict this is going to be a massive hit.

MOVIE / TELEVISION

Dirty John Trailer

One of the more current true crime podcasts to become extremely popular is now a television show. It has Connie Britton in it (just in case the whole true crime thing wasn't enough for me to watch it) and look really intense (and really good).

Eric Bana is nailing this charming/scary thing his character has going on. Connie Britton looks amazing as always. I have high hopes for this one.

Tell Me A Story Trailer

A new show on CBS All Access that takes fairytales and puts a modern and dark twist on them. The first season's trailer has me pretty convinced that I could become OBSESSED with this show.

I see Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel being adapted in the first season. I love anything that is a retelling of fairytales and this has a darkness that I think is going to be really interesting.

Daredevil Season Three Trailer

Daredevil is one of my favourite Netflix/Marvel series. I love the characters and the world that they have created in the first two seasons. This third season looks to be even better than the previous ones though and I cannot wait!

You could say that Marvel / Netflix hit the bullseye with this one (pun totally intended). I am so pumped for this upcoming season. It looks dark, and the new villain is already giving me chills. There is a second, more spoiler filled video that Netflix also released if you want to learn more about the newest bad guy Matt will have to deal with.

The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina Trailer

I shared the teaser trailer for this a little while back. I thought I was excited but the full length trailer has somehow made me even more so.

The tone is perfect. It balances the humour with what looks like some serious scares.

Harvey is already adorable. Salem is already perfect. I love Sabrina's Aunts already. This is going to be one fun Halloween binge!

BOOK

Cover of Meet Cute by Helena Hunting (goodreads)

I saw this cover pop up on my Twitter feed and instantly loved it. It's cute, bright, and looks perfect for a rom-com style read.

I looked at the synopsis and it sounds like it has the potential to be just as cute as the cover advertises.

TV/MOVIE

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Teaser 

I've been so excited about this new version of Sabrina since it was first announced. It's a darker, more horror infused version that will be releasing on Netflix just before Halloween. This trailer has left me with nothing but excitement.

Harvey and Sabrina look adorable. That demon thing looks straight up terrifying and I am so excited to meet Sabrina's Aunts in this one! Who knew that the Happy Birthday song could sound terrifying?!

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Poster Art

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina promo is in full swing because along with that spooky trailer this poster art was revealed. It matches the teaser that was released and sets the tone of the show perfectly.

I love the 'Happy Birthday, Witch' tagline! The menacing demon (that is what I am guessing this thing is) behind her! The candles that look ominous!  it is all working. I cannot wait for this to release on October 26th. I plan to binge it immediately.

Last week's lack of reveals was made up for in a big way this week. So many exciting things were revealed and it'll only continue as we get closer to the fall season.

TV/MOVIE

A Simple Favor Trailer

There were some teaser trailers for this movie released previously but we now have a full length one which gives us a little bit more detail about the actual plot.

I also did not realize that this was based off a book. I discovered this fact and now want to read it as soon as I can. It's by Darcey Bell and shares a title with the movie. 

Mary, Queen Of Scots Trailer

Here we have another trailer for a movie with some Oscar buzz already attached to it. I was instantly hooked and bumped it up my 'must watch list' a few spots after this solid trailer.

Both Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan seem to be delivery impressive performances and I could easily see Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations in their future. Expect the blog to have a few reviews of Oscar bait movies in the fall. 

A Simple Favour Movie Poster

A new movie poster for A Simple Favor was also released with the full length trailer. I love everything about the marketing for this movie. The balance of something sinister with such bright colours just works really well here. 

I also love the martini theme that Blake Lively's character has got going on. 

The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina Key Art

With the official key art for season one being unveiled I think we can expect a trailer and release date in the near future. I am guessing Netflix will reveal something at Comic Con and that it might be an October release (which would be all kinds of perfect).

Salem takes central focus along with the iconic headband from the comics of the same name. I am so excited for this darker revamp and that I can binge it all at once. 

You Key Art

You also release its key art and the tagline is pretty spot on for the novel this is based off of. It also make Penn Badgley seem extremely creepy (which is the entire point).

I hope that Penn nails this role because it could be a meaty one with a lot of flash. I also hope that the show leans into the more ridiculous elements of the novel. I want it to be what the book was and hope the show lets itself go to the dark and ridiculous. 

OTHER

Entertainment Weekly's Breaking Bad Reunion

Breaking Bad is one of my favourite television shows of all time. I also really like whenever Entertainment Weekly does reunion issues. I was so excited when I saw that they had reunited the cast for  the most current issue!

Canada always seems to be really behind on Entertainment Weekly issues so we probably won't get it for another week or two but I am looking forward to reading the article  (especially what Anna Gunn has to say about all that Skyler hate).

A few things to share this week! Not much was released in terms of book news, but there are some equally exciting things to share.

TV/MOVIES

First Look At Sabrina and Harvey from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Creator Roberto Aguirre Sacasa released (via his Twitter) the first image of the new Sabrina and Harvey from the Netflix show based off the comics titled The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. They are adorable and pretty perfect. I think I love Sabrina's entire outfit.

 Is it just me or does Ross Lynch have a very Dane Dehaan vibe in this photo? I might just be the lighting/angle of the photo but that's all I keep thinking. I wasn't sure about the darker hair, but it works. I am super excited for this show!

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights & Stranger Things

Every year Universal Studios unveils the pop culture properties that are to inspire their Halloween Horror Nights mazes and Stranger Things is the first one to be revealed.

Not going to lie, it immediately got me looking up flight prices in the month of October to Orlando. I am hoping I can make a trip happen (it'll depend on finding someone to go with) as I would love to experience this!

OTHER

My Birthday Cake

My birthday passed recently and I had the most amazing birthday cake! I loved it so much!

It's very on brand for me, and looked even better in person. It's incredible and tasted as good as it looked.
