In honor of National Siblings Day, I wanted to know who are your favorite fictional siblings? I have so many from King T'Challa and Princess Shuri to Thor and Loki to the Brady and Weasley siblings there are just too many to list which is why I only included a few below:
1. Mona and Deirdre "Dee Dee" Thorne (Half & Half)
Something I really like about a lot TV shows is how realistic the hairstyles are. The styles look like something you could actually do yourself. From a Curly Afro to Top Knot, here are five gorgeous and fun styles that I really love.
Curly Afro - Roxy Jones (Hunters)
Roxy's hair is so big, voluminous and curly. It's absolutely beautiful. The show Hunters may be set in the 1970s but her hair is chic in any decade.
I'm going to start posting On My List more often because I love letting you know about some of the books, movies and TV shows that I'm interested in. Please feel free to leave any suggestions for anything you think I should read or watch.
Books I Want to Read:
Book:The Killing Moon (Dreamblood series book #1) by N. K. Jemisin
Description:
Assassin priests, mad kings, and the goddess of death collide in the first book of the Dreamblood Duology by NYT bestselling and three time Hugo-Award winning author N. K. Jemisin.
The city burned beneath the Dreaming Moon.
In the ancient city-state of Gujaareh, peace is the only law. Upon its rooftops and amongst the shadows of its cobbled streets wait the Gatherers - the keepers of this peace. Priests of the dream-goddess, their duty is to harvest the magic of the sleeping mind and use it to heal, soothe . . . and kill those judged corrupt.
But when a conspiracy blooms within Gujaareh's great temple, Ehiru - the most famous of the city's Gatherers - must question everything he knows. Someone, or something, is murdering dreamers in the goddess' name, stalking its prey both in Gujaareh's alleys and the realm of dreams. Ehiru must now protect the woman he was sent to kill - or watch the city be devoured by war and forbidden magic.
Why It's On My List: Lately, I have been looking for new and different stories which has led me to the fantasy genre. I want to read The Killing Moon because the description has me interested in exploring this fascinating world the author has created.
Okay, it's not really a holiday but it's the start of a new season, spring. I did a little research and spring signals rebirth, renewal and trying something new with the symbols and themes of love, hope, youth and growth.
In putting together this Unofficial Holiday Geeky List, I took the meaning of spring into consideration. I found TV show episodes that either fit the meaning of the season or they simply focus on enjoying spring break. Hopefully, it will make you feel happy about the beginning of a new and warmer season.
Ben 10: Alien Force
Season 1 episodes 1 and 2:Ben 10 Returns parts 1 and 2
Description:
Having enjoyed a normal life for several years, Ben dons the Omnitrix once again when Grandpa Max suddenly goes missing. While he is adjusting to the new Omnitrix, Ben, Gwen and Kevin search for clues to finding Grandpa Max and stumble upon an alien conspiracy.
I really wish I had wrote about how much I love watching Kim's Convenience when I first started watching the show especially since the third season is premiering tonight on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). This is a great show, it's so funny as it follows the lives of the Kim family which doesn't always go the way they want it. I couldn't find a third season trailer for Kim's Convenience but I did find a sneak peek for tonight's episode.
Now as for a show I have mentioned a few times, Schitt's Creek's fifth season is also premiering tonight on the CBC. However, the show will premiere again in the US on January 16th at 10:00 PM EST on the Pop channel. From the trailer it looks like the Rose family will continue with their efforts to improve their lives but knowing this family things are sure to go wrong but it will be funny to watch.
Kim's Convenience 8:00 PM EST Tuesdays on CBC
Season 3 Episode 1: "New Appa-liance"
Description:
When Umma wants a new dishwasher, Appa is determined to get the best deal; Janet adopts a new name; Jung tries to get his job back at Handy.
As a big fan of Star Wars (and the TV series Kim's Convenience) it's so cool to see pictures of actors Andrew Phung and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee from this past weekend's FAN EXPO Canada. And look at the amazing costumes Paul Sun-Hyung Lee wore (there are three more pictures below).
