Big Screen Drama: How The Housemaid Translates from Page to Screen

‘That didn’t happen in the book’. It’s the phrase that haunts every book-to-screen adaptation – and The Housemaid practically invites it. Whilst changes are inevitable (and often welcome), Paul Feig’s take had me saying it far more than usual. Adapted from the 2022 novel of the same name by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid had readers […]

The Outun

‘The Outrun’ is a complex yet beautiful adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s memoir by the same name. Unlike many stories portraying the battles of addiction in a linear fashion, the film shows it exactly as it is, not only how it affects Rona, the protagonist of the story, but also those around her – this is […]

wonka

As a musical movie and Timothée Chalamet lover, I was super excited to see Wonka and obviously had to make sure I was there the night it was released. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, so I went into the film fairly blind (bar the trailer and production shots) but I […]

The hunger games – The ballad of songbirds and snakes

As a book and film blog, I have the perfect opportunity to talk about a film that’s recently been adapted from one of my favourite books! The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The book (and film) is a prequel to ‘The Hunger Games’ (64 years before those books began) and is essentially […]

Daisy Jones & The Six

‘I am not the muse, I’m the somebody’ I fell in love with ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ a little over a year ago after reading ‘The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo’ by the same author. I’ve always loved the books by Taylor Jenkins Reid as the characters and stories are so real, you almost […]

I need to talk about heartstopper

So last year I wrote a post about book adaptations of my favourite books and what I thought about them and as you may know (I think most people do at this point) the webcomic series turned graphic novels ‘Heartstopper’ was just adapted into an 8 part series on Netflix, and I think it’s perfect! […]

What I Read in March

(I’ve had this written out all month and forgot to post it!! very sorry) March was a pretty good reading month for me, I found my new favourite book and got to read one of my most anticipated books of the year (more on that in a minute). So here is every book I read […]

In The Ravenous Dark Review

Spoiler Free Review! ‘In Thanopolis, those gifted with magic are assigned undead spirits to guard them—and control them. Ever since Rovan’s father died trying to keep her from this fate, she’s hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers, she’s bound to a spirit and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and […]

It’s been a while…

Ok so it’s been a little while since my last post here, and the reasoning for that is… exams.Yeah…So it’s that time of the year where I get closer to finishing school but with that is exams, this year it’s all a bit different which actually means I have them a bit sooner than I […]

The Reader’s Problems Book Tag

This week is a big week for me with two of my most anticipated books being released, so I thought whilst I read these and gather my thoughts on them to share with you all. It would be fun to do a book tag! The tag is called the Reader’s Problems Book Tag and the […]
