Shadowhunters TV: Alec and Luke Have Arrived!



Hello, everyone! I'm back and I'm here to report that Matthew Daddario and Isaiah Mustafa are our new Alec Lightwood and Luke Garroway! The news was announced via twitter last Friday.  It was a little surprising for me. There was a build up for Clary's announcement. The suspense lasted for several days, but for this announcement, I graduated, took a nap, woke up, and found out that we had two new actors for the television show. Now, let's take a look at our new cast members and see if they fit in their new roles.

Let's take a look at Matthew Daddario.  Well, we have another handsome gentleman to join the cast. Since we have our Isabelle we can put them up against each other and see if we can accept them as siblings. To be honest, I can go for it. So he looks the part, but does he have the acting chops. After a quick look up on IMDb, I can honestly say that I haven't seen any on his work. So I looked him up on YouTube, and the first thing that pops up is his scene in Delivery Man. It shows him going about his day, hitting on/dating three different guys, and he looks confident and flirty. It's not really Alec's style, but it shows his experience. I would love to see how he reacts with Jace and Magnus, but I'm hopeful.

Up next is Isaiah Mustafa. At first, he look vaguely familiar, and I couldn't place him. Then someone on Twitter said that he was the guy from the Old Spice commercials. This tells us two things. One: he's handsome and fit. Two: he probably smells nice. Just kidding! It proves he's got some comedic timing. I would love for some of that to play into Luke's snarky character. I checked out his IMDb page, and while I haven't seen any of the movies he's been in. I have heard of some of the stuff he's in. His resume gives me hope, but It doesn't say much about the dramatic side. I guess we'll see!

Again, two strong and unexpected castings for the TV show. The execs really know how to keep the hype up. Between the castings and the constant stream of pictures from set, it feels like we're in the loop. I can't help but wonder who else will be in the pilot episode.

Stories I Ate This Month: May and June 2018

Hello, my lovelies! As you've probably noticed, today's post is going to consist of the stories that I have consumed in the last two months as opposed to just last month. This is mostly because May was a world-wind for me, and I didn't really consume a lot of content. I was mostly running around, trying to get my life in order (not that it's in a particular order at the moment), and other miscellaneous duties that took up most of my time. So today, I'm going to play catch-up and tell you my thoughts on the stories that I've consumed in May and June. Let's get to the reviews! I've read two books in the past couple of months, Death on the Nile  and The A.B.C. Murders . Both are by Agatha Christie and feature Detective Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie has a way of making a puzzling novel that keeps your attention without making things overly graphic or by adding unnecessary action scenes for the sake of drama. She's one of my favorite mystery auth

Stories I Ate This Month: February 2018

Hello, everyone! I'm back and I'm here to review all of the stories that I consumed this month. Yes, this post is over a month late, but I have plenty of excuses. One: I am exhausted. Two: being an intern is tough. Three: trying to live a normal life is much more difficult than I imagined. So, here I am. I'm late to the game. But I'm very excited to show you what I've read for the month. I hope you enjoy this post! The first two books that I finished this month are The Madness Underneath and The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. These two books are the "final" books in the Shades of London series. I say "final" but there has been some speculation that the series has not yet been completed, which I tend to agree with. There are a lot of plot lines that haven't been concluded, and there's a new antagonist introduced in The Shadow Cabinet , and the book basically leaves off with a cliffhanger. With the recent publication of Truly Devious

Stories I Ate This Month: March 2018

So this month has been a bit of a bust. I haven’t read many book or watched that many movies, but the show must go on. Also, as a side note, I haven’t finished any season of any particular television shows this month, but I’ve started a few promising ones that will hopefully be completed in April. But anyway, here’s all the books and movies I’ve conquered this month. The first two books I read this month are The Hanging Tree and Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch. These books are the 5 th and 6 th book in his Peter Grant series which feature Detective, you guessed it, Peter Grant as he investigates criminal matters in London with a tendency for the supernatural. If you haven’t read my review about the other books of this series, I’ll reiterate. Ben Aaronovitch combines everything that I love within his novels, and does it in such a fashion that you can feel the commitment to his craft with every paragraph. His expertise with the London area and the unordinary is clearly visible
