Um. Claire? Do you mind me giving you an assignment?

GO WATCH LEVERAGE!!! Or, just give ..."

Ah right leverage. I wouuuuld, buuuuut at the moment I'm too obsessed with KDrama to watch anything else. haha sorry !

First time I don't know any of them. So I'll just go by the pictures and for Manny Jacinto

Happy Birthday Sonia !!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Chris Pratt for me. Don’t ask me why but I can’t stand Bradley Cooper

Hi Laura,

Sorry about that. I checked Wide Saragasso Sea and found corn. 55% : "There are fields of corn like sugar-cane fields, but gold colour and not so tall."

Oh god, the last one is a hard one… I’ll go for Ryan Reynolds. Not only is he handsome but he makes me laugh

Then one for Joe Manganiello! 🥰

A vote for Tom Ellis !

😂🤣 You may have a point there

For a book with an orange cover, I think I will read
I've been meaning to read it since the start of the year

And for the last game I vote for Matt Bomer. That man is simply too handsome.

As much as I like Ian Somerhalder, my vote just simply has to go to Jason Momoa.

My that set is gorgeous !! 😍
I've been thinking about rereading LOTR recently. And I was actually looking into buying a set. I have an omnibus edition, and it's not the easiest to read from. It's just too big.

Another vote for Clooney

Sammy, you're really making it easy for me. Team Colin O'Donoghue all the way !

Pine !!

Sorry, I thought I did. Done now !

A vote for Loki Hiddleston 😍

I remember seeing it around social media when the Mulan movie came out. I was vaguely interested, but in the end I didn't read it.
Thanks for the recommendation though. Good to know it's worth a read. I might just do that :)

I don't read a lot of thrillers, but I'm not surprised to hear books get advertised through And Then There Were None. Your recent experience must have been very frustrating. I'm sorry to hear.

Glad I'm not the only one, tired of this marketing strategy. Indeed, the backfire is real for some of those books. I remember when Flame in the Mist came out, a lot of people were really disappointed by how thin the link with Mulan was. And I could see the ratings of that book being affected by it.
I guess it proves, that for publishers sales are more important than actually offering a good reading experience.
