Tookey's Talkies
Tookey's Talkies: 144 Great Films From the Last 25 Years - Christopher Tookey

I like to watch movies. That also means that I'm always looking for new or old movies to watch. And that's basically what I thought this book could help me with.

 

I admit I didn't read all reviews completely, as I was most interested in either finding new movies to add to the ever growing watchlist (it is almost as bad as with the TBR) or to read a review of a movie I'd seen (and usually enjoyed as well).

 

I liked it. The reviews really sparked my interest in a lot of movies, some of which I plan to watch soon. It would seem our opinion on movies often overlaps, so I'm really curious about these new ones. Although this is not a book to read in one go, it was a nice read and I would recommend it to people who would also like to find some new movies to watch.

 

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Tookey's Talkies: 144 Great Films From the Last 25 Years - Christopher Tookey

Moonlight Reader started the TBR Thursday, and I think it's a good way to a) show what new books I've got and b) confront myself with my inability to lower my TBR. In fact, since I started recording it, it has risen significantly. I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong here...

 

Still no success lowering the TBR, so I just keep trying, and hope next week will be better, TBR-lowering wise. It would be a lot easier if there weren't so many books out there that sounded interesting. 

 

TBR pile currently stands at 348. (+20; seriously what happened; except that I added the Curse Keeper's Collection as individual books)

(Netgalley ARCs at 163 (+8))
