Happy weekend! What have you been reading lately? I've been in a fantasy mood, so I've been reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (finally, I know), as well as the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. My question for your today is: what is your favorite fantasy book or series? Do you breathe all things ACOTAR and the Night Court? Obsessed with Gideon the Ninth? Do you keep it old school with Tolkien? Can't get enough of Martin's Westeros? Fan of Harry Dresden? Love to explore sympathy with Kvothe? Share your favorites with me. Romance or non-romance, it doesn't matter. I love them all, so please share. 👇
Over the past few weeks, I've been watching the adaptation of Anne Rice's The Witching Hour, a show called Mayfair Witches. I was looking forward to it, as it was one of the more frightening Anne Rice books that I have read. Still, I always thought it would be a difficult adaptation for the screen. It's long and strange and has time jumps and endless digressions. Not easy subject matter for a short television season. So far, I've had a hard time getting into the show in the same way that I was a fan of the new Interview with the Vampire adaptation, but I am interested in seeing how the season will turn out. I think it touches on the creepiness of Lasher, but I feel they might have revealed too much about him too soon. What about you? Are you watching the show? Does it hit on some of the things you loved about the book? My question for you this month is this: what is your favorite book, tv show, or film about witches? It can be funny, serious, nonfiction, whatever you like. Feel free to share. I love all things magical. Hopefully I can find some new witchy tales to love.
For those of you who know me well, you know that I have two great loves in pop culture: Star Wars and Ewan McGregor. I have adored both for longer than I can remember. And in one week, I get to watch the Obi Wan Kenobi show coming to Disney+. The first two episodes air here in the U.S. on May 27, and I can barely contain my excitement. As someone who grew up devouring the extended universe books and doing continuous rewatches of the film as my comfort shows, I am happy to be living in an era of more Star Wars than ever. Any of you Star Wars fans, too? My convo for you this month is this: what is your favorite Ewan McGregor character? I know, I know. It's impossible to choose. From the dreamy, beautiful poet in Moulin Rouge (and the Pillow Book, for that matter) to the cutie trickster in Down With Love to the wayward roommate in Shallow Grave to the crime boss in Birds of Prey, there really is no version of Ewan that I can't get on board with. Ahem. His career is prolific and varied, and there are so many roles to discuss. Tell me your favorite. I love discussing all things Ewan!
I never need a reason (or particular season) to watch something with vampires or witches or demons, but right now I'm feeling like watching a couple of classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes. My question for you is... what is your favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode? Who is your favorite Buffy character? Okay, two questions, but I love all things Buffy and can't resist. Feel free to include Angel characters on that list, but I'm sure we will have a separate Angel discussion someday. As for me, my favorite character is Tara (I took a fantasy writing class from Amber Benson once, and she is wonderful). Or Giles. Or Spike. Eh, maybe favorite episode then... Depending on my mood, it has to be Fool for Love. Or Becoming, Part 2. Or The Gift. Grr, arg, I can never decide. Eh, let's go with Tabula Rasa today.
Father's Day is coming up, and the question I have for you today is... who is your favorite DILF? There are lots of hot daddies out there. Who is your favorite? Some of my top choices are Thranduil the Elvenking (Lee Pace) in The Hobbit, Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) from Deep Space Nine, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) from the Mandalorian, and Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) in Rogue One.
