The Crimes of Grindelwald & the Wizarding World

I’ve seen Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald twice (so far), and have become entirely obsessed with everything about the movie—from the soundtrack to where it fits in the entire wizarding world.

Simply Soundtracks: Ori and the Blind Forest

I discovered Ori and the Blind Forest by listening to the soundtrack first, and it gained popularity because of how amazing both the soundtrack and the visual artwork. FULLY recommend it, if not for the soundtrack, just search for images of it. I promise you’ll be blown away.

Simply Soundtracks: Game of Thrones

The Game of Thrones soundtrack is one of the best ones I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. Relive moments like the Red Wedding and Daenerys being lifted up by slaves of Qarth and it’s absolutely wonderful! Let’s dive into some of the greatest Game of Thrones music.

Reading List – Young Adult Fantasy Fiction: Part 1

Young Adult (YA) fantasy fiction is one of my favourite genres (and incidentally the topic of my PhD thesis). Reading is a great way to unwind from the day and relax before bed—so get your hands on one of these novels and unplug from technology for a few hours. You won’t regret it.

Mini-Review – Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (2016-17)

First episode. You don’t know what’s happening, you’re thrown into the deep end, just like the main character. He sees himself in a fluffy, blood-stained overcoat in the hotel where he works as a bellboy. In the penthouse suite, someone had died.

Review – Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Beyond the behind the scenes drama and the change in directors (necessitating reshoots of most of the film), Solo had to justify its own existence.
