A Dowry of Blood ( Book 1)
By S.T. Gibson
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my last love letter to you, though some would call it a confession. . .
Saved from the brink of death by a mysterious stranger, Constanta is transformed from a medieval peasant into a bride fit for an undying king. But when Dracula draws a cunning aristocrat and a starving artist into his web of passion and deceit, Constanta realizes that her beloved is capable of terrible things.
Finding comfort in the arms of her rival consorts, she begins to unravel their husband's dark secrets. With the lives of everyone she loves on the line, Constanta will have to choose between her own freedom and her love for her husband. But bonds forged by blood can only be broken by death.
Not sure what I was expecting but I really really enjoyed this. Gothic vampire story full of that old feeling. The characters were so intriguing. Well written gave me Angel and spike early days vibes ( if you know you know).

Dinosaurs!
this game is super fun! I love just hooking up and playing mindlessly for a few hours. I love all the pets you can have and how they each have something to offer. I hate how things effect you so quickly and sometimes you can barely react before your dead. but hey, takes a while to get into the swing of any new gaming experience so I'm currently happy with it

Too cold to go out
A disaster movie that takes on fu ride. We have seen volcano's hurricanes, tornado's,Tsunami's and even the earth's core stop. Now we have to deal with the oceans currents stopping and causing a new ice age. With any disaster movie there is death,suspense and a hero or two. This provides all three but with a twist. we don't stop the disaster. One reason why I like this movie. How they survive that's for you to see

Extremely grim world of night crawling
This shows the basest nature of humankind. Wrapped up in greed and death, Jake Gyllenhaal's character is almost sociopathic in trying to get ahead by being first at crimes and accidents, and selling it to the media. At times you want to look away at the sheer horror of it all, but just like an audience or consumer you keep watching the train wreck.

Rogue One is a solid entry into the Star Wars canon. I loved all of the new characters, and the nods to the originals. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters, and I'm glad they included him; there couldn't have been a movie about the Death Star without him. While I didn't mind the CGI on Tarkin, the CGI Leia was completely unnecessary.
Also, the end with Vader owning everyone was one of the best parts of the movie.

Raw emotions and fabulous acting from Natalie Portman
This was pretty tragic, the inside story of the wife who has to witness her husband being assassinated in front of her eyes. This was about Jackie Kennedy, and the grief she felt following John F. Kennedy's death. Natalie Portman was once again magnificent, showing the raw emotion and confusion felt being a First Lady in mourning. And while there's not much else to the story, it's all about bereavement which is complex enough.

High production values
I haven't read the book so I can't compare to that. It's a well made film with a big production and talented cast. Tiny bit surprised at being a 12a rating, it's basically teenagers fighting to the death by killing each other off! Also a theme similar to many films, @Insurgent (2015) Battle Royale, @The Condemned (2007) . So not that original but decent enough to check it out.

A blatantly honest, gripping story about family.
"It blew me away. I found myself constantly highlighting quotes from it, stopping to think about how incredibly relatable it is. It is a book not only about death and grieving, but the ghosts that follow you throughout your life. Anne Enright speaks your innermost unspoken thoughts, and she does so unapologetically." -my bookstagram account, rorythereader.
