In The Queue Where It Happens



-Sings No one else was in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens.- Hi! This is the post where I talk about other media I’ve been enjoying. I have not done one of these in months, and I missed doing them. The title is a pun on The Room Where It Happens from Hamilton.

Tv and Movies

I keep watching Food Network for background noise while I work on things and while reading. I don’t know what it is, I don’t really cook or bake, but I love watching other people make food. I really enjoyed Barbeque Brawl this season, it was tense, but I loved it. I also enjoy Guys Grocery Games, Chopped, Money Hungry, Guys Ranch Kitchen, Beat Bobby Flay, Restaurant Impossible, and Kitchen Crash. I really enjoy the variety and how many shows the Food Network has.

I recently finished this season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney +. I really loved this season, I just wish they had spread out the drama of the back half of the season more into the season as a whole. Once I finished that, they recommended The Mysterious Benedict Society to me, I am two episodes in and I just love it. I want to finish The Owl House and start Marvel’s What If, as well as other Marvel shows on Disney +. The Mysterious Benedict Society has filled with an interesting story and fascinating characters. 

 

I recently saw Jungle Cruise in theaters. If you have kids, this was the perfect family movie, but even my parents and I enjoyed it. I have Luca and Raya and the Last Dragon were saved on my Disney + list. I want to watch one or both of those soon. I’m also determined to watch all the MCU movies. I enjoy the MCU, but I’ve fallen behind and didn’t see all the movies. 

Music and musicals

I’m doing this thing where I go back to a different show a day, rather than listening to the same thing a lot. I love it because it gives me a chance to listen to musicals I forgot about or others that I’m in the mood for. I’ve been super into In The Heights this summer with the movie coming out, it has always been a musical that I’ve gone back to, but the story is so heartwarming and the characters are amazing. Now that Broadway is coming back, and The Tony Awards are next month, I’ve listened to Moulin Rouge, and it’s just so much fun. The story is sad, but the music is so much fun.

Ben Platt, known for Dear Evan Hansen, and Pitch Perfect, has a new album out. I have not heard it yet, but I saved it. I prefer to own my music, but I’m not sure if I would like the new album enough to own it, so I want to listen to it before I buy it. Speaking of Dear Evan Hansen, with the moving coming out soon, I will listen to the soundtrack if we get one. The last thing on my list to check out is Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella. I’ve heard a few songs and really enjoyed them, but I haven’t listened to the full album yet.

Podcasts

I want to listen to more podcasts. I really need to catch up on The Adventure Zone, Broadwaysted, Dear Friend, and Book Riot podcasts. I enjoy podcasts, but sometimes I just need to sit and listen. When I want to listen to a podcast, I’m usually reading. I will try and carve out time to catch up.

Games

I have not played pc games in months!!!! I want to get back into Hades, Star Dew Valley, and The Sims. I play Candy Crush and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. I got back into Marvel Puzzle Quest. I just need to play it more. The last mobile games I love are Disney Emoji Blitz, Frozen Free Fall, and Homesacpes.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

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. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. 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

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from  this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series!  2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads.  3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
