Week In Review #3

I think hopefully!! That I will be back to posting here next week. I have almost caught up so here is what I am hoping! I won't be posting again until next Sunday with this meme.  So ill keep you updated.  But reviews should start posting again the week of the 14th!! Starting with the Red Queen series.  

#Shows with #StevenUniverse

This is Endy! I dont watch much tv but I have been addicted to Steven Universe. I really hope that my mom allows me to grab this on DVD or Digital so I can watch them all at once.  I love how the characters are all based on crystals. 

Week In Review #2: I am SO SICK right now!

Hello guys and thanks for checking out my site.  This week has been killer. As in I am going to die!! Not really but that is how it feels.  This past week I got a cold and it just doesnt want to go away.  Because of that I will not be posting this week which is all scheduled.  BUT I won't be posting again until May 13th.  So dont worry you will have posts all this week!! 

#Shows with @MyLittlePony ‏@MLPMovie ‏

  I am not ashamed to say that yesterday I got up early to watch the beginning of My Little Pony Season 7!!!  I love this show!  And we own all the seasons to it!  

Week In Review #1

Not sure if this will be a weekly meme or not. It's a little up in the air right now.  But I am thinking about doing a few changes to the site and my social media.  One of which I am thinking of getting rid of my personal twitter account @WitchReader and going full on @RealBookAddicts for it instead.  So what is this meme?  This is just a short post about what has been going on this past week. 

The Raven Cycle by @mstiefvater is Coming to Television

Today Tor and the author told us that film rights were acquired by Universal Cable Productions.  We can't wait to see what they do with this series.  You can check out more here 

The Vampire Diaries: Goodbye my love!

  I have been a fan of this show for longer than I can pretty much remember.  I've watched as characters both lived and died. At the time that I'm typing this up the show just ended this past week. And even though this is posting two weeks after that it still pains me to think about it. I know that the show was just a show and that it couldn't go on forever. No matter how much we would like it to do so.  We already lost one major character Elena from the show.  People want to do different things and move on to new roles. And that's ok. But it's still a big chunk of my life that was spent watching this show that I now have to say goodbye to.  So what did I think of the ending?  

#Shadowhunters 'Love is a Devil'

 

Were back to Shadowhunters.  This last episode S2 E8 was ok at best. I still have high hopes for this one but that hope is slowly dying a slow death.  This episode was a little better than most but its still missing that one key element. The characters dont feel like they are family. Clary still hasnt really broken down about her mom. Its all just same old same old.

#ShowSunday: Reign (Last Season)

  Welcome to Show Sunday!  This week were talking about Reign.  I am kinda sad that its leaving but then I started watching the newest episode since it was back a few Fridays ago.  And I kinda realized that I really didn't care about what was going to happen. I think its lost a lot of its luster of me since its been off.  So many shows are ending this year. From The Vampire Diaries to Grimm were losing so many shows.  But where those are still amazing Reign just isn't something I wish to continue.

#Shadowhunters S2E3: Parabatai Lost

Hey guys were back with more Shadowhunter goodies!  This episode was a little better than what we have had in the past.  It still had its issues but so far I still have hope for this show after this episode. There is still so much they need to fix and get right but it looks like they might be on their way to making this show what it could be.  

More about #Shadowhunters! Episode 2: "A Door Into the Dark"

 I'm back with more Shadowhunter Goodies.  

If you have been watching this series you may or may not be in agreement with me.  But I keep thinking that this show goes from good to bad to just why am I watching this train wreck. Just to bring it back a little from the brink of death.  I commented on a form the other day about how this show is a car accident. You know you shouldn't sit there and stare but you just can't help yourself!!
