I review a lot of books and movies, but I'm never sure if anyone is interested in any of them. This page is for some books and movies that I'm thinking about reviewing, and if you actually want to hear my thoughts on it, then you vote! Type which ones you would like to see me review in the comments, and when any of these get enough votes I'll do it. Thanks for your help!
Note: Just because I'm thinking about reviewing these doesn't mean that I like them. In some cases I'm thinking about ranting the opposite, but you won't know what my thoughts on it are until it happens...
If you want a review that is more short and snappy, I've probably talked about these books on my Goodread account or talked about these movies on my Letterboxd account.

ReplyDelete-Anna Karenina (isn't it your favorite? I want to hear all about it!)
-Everything, Everything (because I don't think I want to read it, but I do want to know your thoughts)
-My Name is Asher Lev (because I love it and I want to hear what you think)
-Spinning Silver (I NEED YOUR EXTENDED THOUGHTS!)
-A Thousand Perfect Notes (I've been waffling about reading this one for YEARS literally)
-Beauty and the Beast (2017) (I liked it, but I am not a movie connoisseur, so...your move. ;))
-Black Widow (2021) (ditto)
-Eternals (2021) (I've heard really bad things about it, so I want to either hear good things or your rant!)
-The Passion of the Christ (2004) (never seen it, but very curious)
-The Book of Life (2014) (I remember loving this when I was a bit younger, but I haven't thought about or seen it in ages, so I want to hear what you think!)
I want to review absolutely all of these things! I've had The Book of Life on my list ever since to recommended it here and this year I WILL make it happen! And now, of course, I want to always hear more of your thoughts on Anna Karenina. ^_^ Thank you so much for the requests, Sam! <3 My bored post-college self will hop to it!
DeleteI'd love to see you review some Clark Gable movies! I really love It happened one night and would love to find more titles of his where he's a respectable character like in the latter film! There's my two cents! 😃
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I finally watched It Happened One Night recently and LOVED IT. So much fun! I'll try to get a review up ASAP. ^_^ Thanks for the request!
