![Review: Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness [book]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/shadow-of-night-deborah-harkness.jpg)
Since I loved the first book (and season 1 of the TV show), I jumped right into “Shadow of Night”, the second book in the “Discovery of Witches” series by Deborah Harkness. This one involved time travelling to Elizabethan London and a slew of new characters. First of all, I have to give major props…
![Review: Widows [2018]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/widows-poster.jpg)
When I first saw the trailer for Widows, I was immediately excited. Strong cast AND Steve McQueen directing it? I knew this was a sure win, so I patiently waited for it. Here I am now, many months later, in the theater after the film just ended, feeling disappointed. So disappointed in McQueen, really, because…
![A Discovery of Witches: Book & TV Show Review [2018]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/a-discovery-of-witches-book-tv-show-poster-809x334.jpg)
Book: I admit, I first learned about “A Discovery of Witches”, the TV show, then about the book. I wasn’t even going to read the book, but I saw it in my local bookshop and after reading a couple of phrases, I decided I will read it before seeing the show. That was due mostly to…
![Review: Bohemian Rhapsody [2018]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bohemian-Rhapsody-poster.jpg)
I’m a big Queen fan, like probably most people. They have amazing songs and Freddie Mercury was one of a kind, a type of star with charisma and voice that you rarely see these days. That being said, I didn’t rush to see the movie about his life, Bohemian Rhapsody, in cinemas, but when my…
![[NaNoWriMo 2018] One month. 50k words. Let’s go!](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/nanowrimo-2018-809x455.jpg)
https://nanowrimo.org/ I’ve been following the NaNoWriMo project for at least 5 years now, and although last year I thought of doing it, this year I finally decided I will participate. For those who don’t know, NaNoWriMo aka National Novel Writing Month is (according to Wikipedia, who says it best) “an annual, Internet-based creative writing project…
Burning: I wasn’t planning on seeing Burning, but the local film festival announced that they couldn’t show a particular film that was scheduled and for which I paid for, so instead they showed us this one. I got scared at the 148 minutes running time, but I decided to stay at least for 30 minutes,…
![Review: A Star is Born [2018]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/A-Star-Is-Born-Poster-809x404.jpg)
I really don’t know where to start with this review, so I’m just going to say it: “A star is born” is a good movie, one that will please most people, but that has some flaws that we need to talk about. First of all, let’s start with the good: The music is really good.…
A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with a work colleague during her smoke break and she asked me what do I like to do in my spare time. I was a bit taken aback, but I said I liked reading books, listening to music, spending time with my family, and so on. She…
![Review: Bad Times at The Royale [2018]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/bad-times-at-the-royale-poster-2-809x405.jpg)
With some questionable luck, I managed to get into the press screening for “Bad Times at The Royale” in my country Friday (I say questionable, because I’m no longer an official member of the press, but they still have me on record, and most don’t even bother to check. Anyway). My short review for “Bad…
After I finished the second season of Handmaid’s Tale, which was amazing, but with too much drama and tragedy, I needed something slightly easier to digest and prettier to look at, so I saw the third season of Animal Kingdom. I love this series, so I thought I’d write about it here. Animal Kingdom (the…
