The Sunday Post Meme (235)

 

 Hey everybody! I am participating in a book meme called the Sunday Post which is being hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer! The goal of this meme is to share news you have  on various books and things you’ve read or received and also talk about what is coming up for your blog! Book hauls can include library books, yard sale finds, arcs and bought books and you can share these finds with other book bloggers!


Hey everyone!  So, you are probably wondering about where I have been for the last few weeks.  Well, my laptop broke down and I wasn't able to get online for several weeks because of it.  Right now, I'm using my dad's computer at the moment until my laptop gets fixed.  But I think it's time to get a new laptop.  Unfortunately, I don't have the funding to do so and I'm trying to find ways to get some more funding to get a brand-new laptop.  Does anyone have any advice on how to get more funding for a new laptop?

One Word: FRUSTRATED!!!






(HBO MAX)

* I finally checked out this movie and man, was this movie even better than I thought it was!  I actually wasn't going to watch this movie at first, because it's about war and I don't like war movies.  But, this film was quite different from other war movies and it's probably one of my favorite films of the year!




(HBO MAX)

* I rarely watch films directed by M. Night Shyamalan and this movie just so happened to be on my radar. Man, I really enjoyed this movie! It's really different from Shyamalan's other movies as it's not a horror movie and it doesn't really have a plot twist. But, this movie was pretty enjoyable to watch! 








 

Do you have problems with your laptops or computers?








*So, here are some good things that happened to me recently!




* Since my laptop has broken down, I've managed to take some time off to catch up on movies and TV shows that I've been missing out on this year.  So, that's a definite plus!

I would like to thank the author P.J. Reed for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.


So, after I read the first book in the “Bluebell” book series, I just had to read more books from this series and lo and behold, I was given a copy of the sequel to the first “Bluebell” book, “Bluebell and the Silver Palace” and man, was it even more exciting than the first book!


The story starts off with Bluebell, the newly appointed Wish Fairy, buying some honey from the bumblebees that make the honey, in order to make some delicious honey cakes.  But unfortunately, Bluebell ends up being arrested by Queen Caraway and it turns out that the Queen’s honey has been stolen.  So, Queen Caraway wishes for Bluebell to find out who stole her honey.

Can Bluebell solve this mystery?

Find out in this book!


So, after reading the first book in this series, I was dying to read more adventures from Bluebell the Wish Fairy and man, this sequel does not disappoint me!  P.J. Reed did a fantastic job at writing this story as the tone of this story shifts to a mystery genre, rather than be a straight up adventure genre like in the first book.  I really loved this change in genre for the second book because I always loved reading mystery books and this book does a great job at setting up the mystery of who stolen the honey from the Queen and how Bluebell and her friends try to solve the case.  I also loved the relationship that Bluebell has with both Tobin the Gnome and newcomer, Billy the bee as they both provided some interesting dynamics with Bluebell.  Tobin is as usual, usually stern with Bluebell, while Billy is much more playful towards Bluebell. Emma Gribble’s artwork is great to look at as they are simplistic yet beautiful and they greatly complement the cute and mysterious tone of this book.


Overall, “Bluebell and the Silver Palace” is a fantastic sequel to the first “Bluebell” book and if you love reading about mysteries and delicious food, then this book is definitely worth checking out!  I would recommend this book to children ages five and up since there is nothing really inappropriate in this book.
