Ack, so much pretty, where to look first?!

What did you think of Night Circus? And what is 12 Monkeys? It doesn't look like your normal fare at all! *is surprised*

Ah, can't stop staring at that amazing pose for Agent Carter. :)

Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of The Night Circus. It had so much potential but ultimately it just fell flat for me. The narrative style is also quite confusing because the author switches back and forth from points of view and time periods so that it required more puzzling than I'd like to figure out what was what and who was connected to who. Have you ever read it? Some of the prose is quite beautiful but it felt to me like it needed a lot of editing before it should have been allowed to become published.

Haha, I could not find a less creepy poster for 12 Monkeys! It is a little different than the usual for me, it's futuristic sci-fi with a bit of apocalyptic plague thrown in. So far it's been good but there are only a few episodes out and if it gets creepier I will definitely bail. ^_^

Me either! Such an awesome promo shoot <3 Have you been watching? I have so enjoyed it! Fingers crossed more people watch and it gets renewed or at least the recognition in deserves for female-lead shows!

I haven't ever read The Night Circus, though I've heard high praise, enough to make me curious. Now I'm even more curious!

Oh, I see. Futuristic sci-fi was not what I gathered from that promo. Hopefully it won't get crazy creepy.

No, I have yet to start. Still way behind on a lot of things. But I shall, eventually, because I'm excited. My Mom said that sometimes, Peggy's silhouette reminds her of Carmen San Diego. :)

I heard a lot of praise for it too, but tbh I don't feel like it deserved such high acclaim! :/

Yes, so far it is interesting!

I hope you enjoy it! It has been so much fun so far :) Haha, with that hat - definitely!

*flails* I spy a Ray Bradbury book! He's my favorite writer ever...I've read literally everything he ever wrote, so many times. <3

Aw 12 Monkeys! I'm absolutely obsessed and the last ep was the most amazing so far, imo. I love Ramse so much. <3

I feel sort of sad that you fall in love with The 100 just when I drop it. :/ I do like knowing what they're doing currently and seeing all the pretty gifs, though. (:

I'm very surprised Agent Carter isn't doing better, ratings-wise, considering how highly critics rate it, and I feel like everybody on my f-list and my tumblr dash adores it. I'm not a fan (I only watched the first two episodes) but I do love the setting and period details in the gifs I see.

Yessss! I really loved Fahrenheit 451!! I haven't read Dandelion Wine in ages so now I'm thinking of rereading that. And my sister says The Velt is really good too?

I haven't watched the new ep yet but I am glad your gifs convinced me to watch it! ^_^

It is rather sad. :( But I'm glad we can still chat about it together!

Me too :( I thought it would be really popular considering the reviews on Tumblr and elsewhere I've seen. But I guess it shows that what Tumblr thinks does not equal what the real world thinks.

Yes!! They're all wonderful! The Illustrated Man collection is my favorite (it has my favorite story ever "The Rocket Man" in there).

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (:

Yes, indeed! (:

Yeah, I suppose so. :/

Oh yes! It was delivered to my Kindle the night of the release and I started reading it right away! ;)

For some reason, I just can't be thát pumped about it, because it doesn't continue the story of Cinder & co. But I'm sure it's going to be great, knowing Marissa's writing and loving the world it takes place in

I get that! I was actually surprised by how interesting it was, and it's pretty short too so there's not a whole lot to slog through! And there are a few cameo appearances by baby!Cinder/Selene! :)
