In The Queue Where It Happens

Hi! This is my post where I talk about different media I’m enjoying. We talk about what I recently watched, what I plan on watching next, the music I’m enjoying, the games I’m playing right now, and different streams I enjoy watching. The title of this post comes from Hamilton.   Tv Shows and Movies The reason why I wanted to bring these posts back is because I enjoyed doing them, and I want to check more shows off my watch list. I’m currently watching The Mysterious Benedict Society on Disney +. I’m really enjoying it, but I might need to watch the show again from the beginning if we get a season 2. I really love the story and the characters on the show. It’s not really the type of show I watch, but as the show progressed, I got more into it.  I want to watch Dairy of A Future President or one of the Marvel TV shows.   Since the last time, I’ve watched several movies. I watched Black Widow the other weekend for the first time. I loved it and I’m glad that I finally got aro

Top Ten Tuesday- Favorite Books of the Year Part 1 (12-21)

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists.

This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be on this list. I still thi

Top Tne Tuesday- Characters I want an update from

  Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was brought on by a love of lists, and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will write our response to the prompt in question. We also have the option to do our own thing that week. This week, our topic is Characters I’d Love An Update On. This is fun, and I can’t wait to see what others say as well. The titles are separated by Genre for easy access. I put a few couples together because I would like an update on both of them. This is from last week, but I never got around to posting it.

Movie Review: Come From Away

  Come From Away  follows the story of 6,000 passengers who, as a result of the September 11 th,   2001 attacks in the US, needed to touch down in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. The large Newfoundland airport was once a large military airport used during WW2, as it was the last stop to refuel planes before crossing the Atlantic. As part of emergency air traffic procedures that day, inbound traffic from Europe was diverted to Canadian Military and Civilian airports.   Come From Away   follows American Airlines flight 49 from Paris to Dallas as an example of the hospitality and kindness of the citizens of Gander over the five days of their stay. The ending scene reunites some of the passengers with Gander Citizens ten years later. Come From Away  features music, lyrics, and a book by Irene Sankoff and David Hein with Christopher Ashley directing the filmed version of the stage production.  One of the most important elements of a musical is relating to the characters.  Come From Away  is n
