Characters Reading: Rainbow Dash (My Little Pony)

Rainbow Dash reminds me of someone who says they don't like to read or think it's something for nerds and geeks that is until they find a book that really sparks their interests in reading. Which is what happened in the My Little Pony episode "Read It and Weep". Following a bad fall, Rainbow Dash injured her wing and had to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover.

Rainbow was bored and restless and to avoid furthering that, Twilight Sparkle gave her the book Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone she retrieved from a nurse's cart. But Dash wasn't too keen on reading and tossed the book aside. But with nothing else to do after her friends left, she finally decided to read the book and she was immediately drawn into the exciting adventures of Daring Do. She was enjoying the story so much that she didn't want to put it down.

She never wanted to read because in her words that was for "eggheads" but once she found a book that interested her, she gained a new found love of reading. She realized how fun reading is and not to judge something without having tried it.

Book Girl Thoughts: Do You Carry Books Around With You?

Okay, my fellow bookaholics, how often do you carry books (including tablets) with you? I figure you never know when the opportunity to read might pop up such as if you're waiting in a long line or you're waiting for a friend who is running late meeting you for lunch or any number of instances.

I usually leave the big books at home (those are the ones I need to get comfy on the sofa or in a chair for) and just stick with carrying the smaller books in my purse or tote bag. At the moment, I currently have a Betty & Veronica Double Double Digest in my purse.

I get asked all the time "how do I read so many books?", well carrying books around is one of the easiest ways that I am able to do it. Just like everyone else, I'm busy and I don't always have hours to sit and read but carrying books with me makes it easy to find that extra time. So, if you want to read more books, carry them with you.

DVD Tuesday: IT and My Little Pony: The Movie

Wow, the last time I bought a movie for DVD Tuesday was Kingsman: The Golden Circle back in early December. Until now, there really wasn't any new movies that I wanted to buy but I have to get IT and My Little Pony. I love a good horror movie and who doesn't love the animated adventures of My Little Pony.


IT


Description:

Seven young outcasts in Derry, Maine, are about to face their worst nightmare -- an ancient, shape-shifting evil that emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together over the course of one horrifying summer, the friends must overcome their own personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise.






My Little Pony: The Movie


Description:

A new dark force threatens Ponyville, and the Mane 6 – Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity – embark on an unforgettable journey beyond Equestria where they meet new friends and exciting challenges on a quest to use the magic of friendship to save their home.

Weekend Films: My Little Pony: The Movie and The Mountain Between Us

What movies are you going to see this weekend? I want to see both My Little Pony and The Mountain Between Us the trailers look good for both movies.

I don't mind celebrity voices being included in the My Little Pony movie but I'm definitely glad the original voice actors for the animated series are still the voices for the main characters. I wanted to read The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin before I saw the movie but odds are I'm going to see the movie before then.



My Little Pony: The Movie

Starring: Tara Strong, Ashleigh Ball, Michelle Creber, Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germain, Cathy Weseluck and more

Description:

A new dark force threatens Ponyville, and the Mane 6 – Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity – embark on an unforgettable journey beyond Equestria where they meet new friends and exciting challenges on a quest to use the magic of friendship to save their home.





The Mountain Between Us

Books of Interest: My Little Pony: A Canterlot Wedding and Best of Vixen

These two books are both on my watch list and wishlist. I love watching My Little Pony and I love reading the comic books. I think it's interesting that they turned the wedding 2 part episode into a special comic book.

As a long time fan, I'm glad that Vixen is finally starting to get more attention. She was pretty much sacked in the New 52 but thanks to the animated series, interest in the character has grown especially from a lot of new fans. To capitalize on this new interest, DC Comics will be releasing a Best of Vixen compilation book.

Can't wait to read both of these.


Book: My Little Pony: A Canterlot Wedding by various writers and artists

Publication: January 14, 2016

Description:

The celebrated animated series comes to book shelves! Revisit the habitants of Equestria and learn about the magic that friendship brings in this adaptation of the television series. This volume adapts the season two finale event "A Canterlot Wedding" parts 1 & 2.





Book: Best of Vixen by various writers and artists

Publication: August 16, 2016

Description:

Since her first appearance in ACTION COMICS, Vixen has been featured in SUICIDE SQUAD, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, her own limited series written by G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel), and now in CW Seed's Vixen--set in the same universe as the hit CW TV shows Arrow and The Flash. Co-created by Gerry Conway (co-creator of Punisher), Vixen was one of DC Comics' first African superheroes and she has continued to be a fan-favorite character since the 1980s.

Read never-before-collected issues and fan-favorite stories starring Vixen in this "best of" compilation!

Fashion Meets Comics: Applejack (My Little Pony)



For today's Fashion Meets Comics, I was inspired by Applejack to put together an outfit.

Applejack is known for being a hard worker and taking pride in working at her family's apple orchard, Sweet Apple Acres. Working on a farm means long hours, hard work and getting dirty.

Unlike her good friend Rarity, Applejack has a casual, no frills approach to life and fashion. She's not looking to be the most fashionable pony in Ponyville (or Equestria for that matter). Unless it's for those rare special occasions, where she has to dress up.

With that in mind, the outfit I created had a more casual, relaxed vibe to it. I also made sure to include a hat, her signature piece.




Blazin Roxx Women's Brown Bead Trim Hat    $29.95   Country Outfitter (countryoutfitter.com)





Women's Classic Plaid Flannel Shirt    $18.00 (sale, regular price $26.94)    Old Navy (oldnavy.com)






1969 Perfect Boot Jeans    $69.95    Gap (gap.com)







BP. 'Trott' Bootie    $99.95    Nordstrom (shop.nordstrom.com)

30 Days of Geek Chic, Day 3: My Little Pony Power Ponies Pack

I love watching the My Little Pony animated series and I have so many favorite episodes and one of them is when Twilight Sparkle, her friends and Spike were turned into comic book superheroes. I also like that episode because it gave little Spike a chance to shine, he's sometimes pushed to the sidelines on some episodes.

That's why for today's Geek Chic post, I chose this My Little Pony Power Ponies Pack. I think this is great but I'm also a little disappointed that Spike was left out of the six figure pack. You can't tell me there was no room in that box for a little dragon.

However, Spike is available in a smaller pack (see below), downside is you would end up having to buy Twilight and Fluttershy again just to get him.




My Little Pony Power Ponies 6 Figure Pack    $54.99 (sale, regular price $59.99)   Available Exclusively at Target (target.com)




My Little Pony Power Ponies 2-Pack with Spike the Dragon    $14.99   Available Exclusively at Target (target.com)

30 Day Geek Chic Challenge, Day #29: Fluttershy: Kindness Does Not Mean Being a Doormat

Day #29: Fluttershy: Kindness Does Not Mean Being a Doormat


Fluttershy may not be the most outgoing pony but she is far from boring. She has one of the biggest hearts and loves to care for the animals in Ponyville. What she might lack in being sociable she makes up with in kindness. She is always looking out for her friends and many others including being nice to Discord.

However, being nice does not mean being a doormat and you shouldn't have to go to extremes to show you're a nice person. You shouldn't have get to the point that you lose your temper after getting flustered and frustrated like Fluttershy when she finally reaches her breaking point after finally letting so many things get to her.

This challenge is for those who are maybe a little too nice and they let others walk all over them. I used to be like this back in middle school but after a while I realized that's not who I wanted to be. I'm still nice but I'm no pushover. I stand up for myself and not let others take advantage of me. And that's the best advice I can give.
