Hello all to 2018 (just in case some people were not aware of the year change)! We shall continue our monthly award giving meme to the best ofs!
Here is our best of January.
First, favorite movie:
Carole's is......Star Wars The Last Jedi
"Had a couple really good ones, but nothing amazing this month for movies. I’ll have to say that ‘Star Wars the Last Jedi’ is the one for this month. I really enjoyed it. I personally think it was the best Star Wars movie I have seen to date. I’ve never been a huge fan. Just a passive one, so this really stuck with me. Plus it doesn’t hurt Kylo is a cutie LOL."
My choice is...................Kubo and the two strings
"This one was so good and do not diss it just cos it is animated. Shame on you ;) Watch it!"
Next, Book favorite:
Up first is my pick............Cherish Hard by Nalini Singh
"Best book is harder. I read lots of good ones, but not a single amazing one. SO how to choose from equally good books? I will therefore choose the one with the best accents, Cherish hard by Nalini Singh.The narrators male voice was suberb."
Next, Carole's choice..............The Tercentennial Baron by Will Damron
"I had a couple excellent ones this month. However, I think I’ll have to stick with this. It was an audiobook and I was so glued to the story. I didn’t want to stop listening! Such a good story. I loved the Baron the most. I WANT MORE!"
(Pssst, look both Carole and I picked audio!)
Lastly, cover (a new category for the new year)
Carole's choice......
"This cover certainly stuck with me. It is a simple but beautiful in my opinion. The cover is what drew me in to give this short story a try."
My choice...................
"Carole was talking about covers and I was all, I do not have an amazing one! So I will go with the cutest one, and the one that made me want to buy a dress"
Carole and Blodeuedd have been blogging a long while now. The last couple of years the epic duo have been discussing books, watching movies, and even wetting the pen and sharing their stories with the worldwide web. They both love cats, chocolate, and a good story.
Star Wars and Kubo weren't my faves, but glad you guys enjoyed it! Happy Saturday! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteSW rocks!
DeleteOh I love your list of favorites. I adored Cherish Hard but I think I am one of the select few that didn't care too much for the new Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteWhaat, it was sooo good!
DeleteI LOVED The Last Jedi. I'm not a Star Wars fan. I've barely tolerated the past movies but Force Awakens was better than the ones before and TLJ had me hooked! Can't actually wait for 9 now. I'm desperate to know how this trilogy ends!
ReplyDeleteI really have no idea how it will end for once, wohooo
DeleteWe did well this month!!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteInteresting choices for January. Nice covers too.
ReplyDeleteHmm, my covers are missing
DeleteIt sounds like you enjoyed your January! I hope your February is just as awesome!
ReplyDeleteDo You Dog-ear?
I like your list, some are new to me. Thanks for the introduction!
ReplyDeleteI plan on watching that Star Wars movies once it reached On Demand and I can order it.
ReplyDeleteYay
DeleteThere seems to be so many mixed opinions on The Last Jedi! I'm so glad you enjoyed it though. Sure it has some issues but I can't understand all the hate for it, I mean, it was fun!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I liked it too :D I agree with Carole for sure and Kylo does rock
DeleteI still haven't seen the new Star Wars or read Cherish Hard, but they are on the list.
ReplyDeleteLove your new category. Nice picks, ladies!
Thanks!
DeleteI agree with that cover! It's stunning. :)
ReplyDeleteRight!
DeleteI enjoyed The Last Jedi. I don't think it was as good as Rogue One, but I thought it was better than The Force Awakens. I still need to try Nalini Singh's non paranormal books.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
Rogue one is still nr 1, ang it was good
Deleteyay for Star Wars and the cover on The Golden Age is pretty.
ReplyDeleteShe chose well
DeleteSadly I'm not a fan of Star Wars. My husband would be so happy if I was.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteI loved Kubo! Have you seen Coco? It has a similar vibe and was very good.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
I must watch it then
DeleteI really enjoyed The Last Jedi, but prefered the humor in Rogue One
ReplyDeleteI am a rogue one gal too
DeleteI haven't seen or read any of the books and movies you mentioned. I do want to try the audio for Cherish Hard though.
ReplyDeleteDo give it a go
DeleteI liked Star Wars; still haven't seen Kubo. There are some great movies coming out in the next few months (BLACK PANTHER!!)
ReplyDeleteI just hope it does not disappoints like wonder woman
DeleteI still need to watch Kubo!!
ReplyDeleteYeees
DeleteKubo! Love that movie so, so much. Not enough people have seen it though!
ReplyDeleteRight! More should see it
