Dear readers,
Hope you're all OK and are enjoying the summer so far...?
Just a quick update related to my previous article regarding the upcoming Netflix series 'The Bridgerton' based on Julia Quinn's famous books, which I've read and read and read again... :)
The cast is, almost I think, complete and the filming has started in London.
It will be on Netflix in 2020. More later :)
Take care and see you soon for another article! :) xxx

The Bridgerton: Books vs Netflix
Dear readers,
Hope you're all OK and are currently enjoying the Summer?
Sorry, I haven't written in a long time...
In the meantime, I don't know if you're aware or know about the Bridgerton already? (If not, you definitely should!). The author (Julia Quinn) imagined a family of eight children, named in alphabetical order (Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth), living in the middle-of the 19th Century. As you can imagined, a lot happens, with their mother's meddling and encouraging them to marry, their constant banter, the mysterious Lady Whistledown and other intrigues....that I'll let you discover :) I can guarantee they'll make you laugh and cry at the same time. Almost impossible to stop reading! :)
However, I recently discovered that it was to become a TV series, coming soon on Netflix. I'm a bit...how can I say? Hum...divided, shall we say? In a way, I'm curious and intrigued as to what the result is going to be, as I read the books and I always wondered what the characters would like if a TV series or a movie would ever be made one day. It might be fun to watch after all. It might be a good TV show, despite my misgivings. And I won't know until I watch it, that's for sure. But a part of me is also worried. Not too worried. Just a little bit. Mostly because half the time, whenever they tried to adapt books whether it's for the cinema or the TV, it's a...disaster. Sorry but it can be sometimes. It's either too much. Or too cheesy. Or they cut most of what happened in the books (e.g Harry Potter franchise or Twilight being one of many examples, there are probably others) or tend to change everything. The main reason...money. Or the director has his or her own visions, which can differ, I guess, from the book(s).
Also, Netflix is big machine...so to speak (like Amazon Prime). Some TV shows rarely get a proper chance. And disappear too soon. Whatever the reason is (bad reviews, not many interests, too expensive...). Each streaming company has its own policy.
Anyway, that's just me. You're welcome to have your opinion. And, like I said, above, I won't know specifically until I saw at least one episode (whenever its released, although it might be a while as they are only starting to assemble the cast). So more later....I'll keep you posted.
Whilst waiting, you can read the books in advance ;)
Take care and see you soon for another article xxx
P.s= There are also prequels....if you are interested?

Wherever you are
Dear readers,
Hope you're OK and have been enjoying this early sunny Spring :)
I won't be long today, sorry it'll be a short article. I'll try to come back soon :)
Meanwhile, I think a picture can speak a thousands words or so they say...;-)
I choose this one, not because of the author (although I do enjoy her books) but mostly due to the title...that kind of speak to me.
This article is dedicated to a very special someone whom I miss very much :) Take care and see you soon for another article :) xxx

And 9 years :)
Dear readers,
Hope you're all OK?
First, I apologize for not writing sooner but I wasn't inspired and have been quite busy. I'm still trying to figure out a few things out at the moment.
Meanwhile, a question keeps returning (I think I may have mentioned it a few years ago) as to whether or not I'll continue writing this blog. Mostly because I don't write as much as I used to. But I've decided to keep my blog for the time being, it'll just write sporadically ( not as often).
Anyway, it is with a few days delay that I would like to wish my blog a very happy birthday :) 9 years! I can't still believe it :) Hope you're still enjoying it! :) In any case, thank you for following my articles ! :)
