Book Nerd Reactions - The Shondaland Edition

You guys have no idea how long I have been thinking about doing or trying to do this blog post. After the past few weeks of me either thinking/plotting/writing &/or wondering if I should write THAT blogpost because it's quite heavy and I want my blog to be light, fluffy and warm, I REALLY want to write a fun, silly post that will (probably) win me no prizes!

So, with the aid of shows I watch and love like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal (a show I really need to watch but scared will get VERY addicted to), The Catch and my fave of them all, How To Get Away With Murder, let me show vines of some of the things we Book Nerds go through...

So, let's get started...

When we first enter a bookshop/library and all the books call to us...

What we want to happen in a love triangle but never will (come on authors!)

What we say when our main character starts dating someone who doesn't respect them (and advice we should follow ourselves)...

When a new character comes on the scene and makes a move...

What we want a strong female character to say when a male character says "I only did it to protect you"...

When a plot twist we did/didn't see coming hits us...

Our reaction when a plan comes together/falls apart, both in spectacular fashion...

When a character is playing the victim and expected our sympathy...

When a character expects us to believe that they're telling the truth...

When we give that character one FINAL chance to not screw up again...

When we suddenly realise the truth!

When we need a snack while reading...

When characters won't do what we want them to...

When a character we hate is sickeningly happy...

When we realise that the character we're madly in love with isn't real...

When a character we love suddenly and without warning dies... 

"Trust me," says the author. "There won't be THAT many deaths in this book..."

When the author hurts us in the cruellest of ways...

When it just gets too much...

When we get a Happy Ending and we just aren't feeling it...

When people don't get why we read all the time...

When we read a book that we would NEVER admit to in the cold light of day...

What we hope authors say when we finish a total bore of a story...

When the fandom online is too much...!

When we return to library/bookshop for more books...

SMILE - My Dear Human...

Saw this on Pinterest and yes. I owned a cat in the past and yes, this is so true!

SMILE - The Friends Edition

SURPRISE!!! I thought a surprise SMILE post was in order! I thank the randomness of YouTube and Vine! You guys rock!!!

It's the Vine that gets me. EVERY TIME!!! It;s that evil glint in the eye...

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Oh, were you enjoying that lie-in?

GETUPGETUPGETUP!!!!

SMILE - Human Beings Make Life So Interesting...

I have no idea who turned this scene for Sky One's The Hogfather (based on the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name) into gifs. No idea - but I love Death! So, thank you Terry Pratchett, Sky One and everyone else in connection with this! 

SMILE - Are You Saying...

My thanks goes to whoever made these gifs, taken from the Sky One adaption of Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather. 

SMILE - The End is Nigh

A few months back, I wrote a small blog post about my SMILE thread and asking what I should do with it because the fun was going out of writing them. The fun was going out of this blog, if truth be told. But with SMILE, I was wondering over its future.

As you are probably aware, I try and do SMILE posts every Monday for the past few years (and I have a SMILE board on Pinterest), but I was wondering if I should change it. Give my blog a bit of a facelift.

And I was considering quitting SMILE altogether. I didn't want to keep doing SMILE post if I was losing interest in it and, if I was losing interest, then you guys must be too! I mean, I didn't want SMILE to become this:

But then someone said "Just do it on impulse" and I liked this idea. I liked this idea a lot. So, that is what I am going to do in the New Year. The SMILE post will be more impulsive. They will come and go as they please, and I hope that we - you and I - will enjoy the surprise of it all!

But the question is: where does SMILE go from here?

Well... It's going to have a break. I've decided that SMILE will be resting throughout the month of December, which means next week's SMILE will be the last of 2014.

I know. It's a bit short notice. I know. But I didn't realise that this is what I needed to do till I started writing this post.

So yeah, next week is the last SMILE of the year. I hope that's ok.

I want this blog to be fun. Not just for you guys, but for me.

So, to you all who liked SMILE, please go to the Pinterest board at http://www.pinterest.com/pewterwolf/smile/ or keep your eyes peeled on the blog. You never know when the next SMILE post will appear in the New Year.

And remember...

The Future of SMILE

Happy Friday everyone! Not a normal SMILE post because I want some input from you guys...

I have been doing SMILE posts for the past few years (that long?!) and it was for fun. Fun for myself and the idea of a tiny pick-me-up to you guys as Mondays are a bit of a drag! Yes, even if you have the perfect job you love, Mondays are a bit of a pain sometimes...

But recently - ok, for a while - I have been thinking of about the future of SMILE. Whether it would continue on the blog every Monday, changing it to once a fortnight or once a month, moving it over to Pinterest completely (I do have a Pinterest board, solely for SMILE - http://www.pinterest.com/pewterwolf/smile/) or whether I should call it time on it.

I know, the HORROR of it!

But as I am going through a bit of a change in my life (moving in with my other half, pretending to be a grown up, learning to "compromise" with said other half, etc), I kinda want the blog to reflect that. Change, grow and evolve. Ok, I made my blog sound like a Pokemon.

But I like SMILE. And I do want to keep it in one form or other. So, am asking you guys - what do you want happen to SMILE? Do you want it to go fortnight? Would you mind if I moved SMILE over to Pinterest? Or do you think it's a stupid blog thread and want it gone? Leave a comment below and I shall see what you guys suggest. 

But until then, I shall continue blogging and hoping you guys like it...!

SMILE - Mary Poppins is a Time Lord!

OMFG!!!

I know this is a tumblr thing, but I saw this on Pinterest. Either way, thank you tumblr and Pinterest!

And remember, I am on Pinterest and I have a SMILE board on there too! And a Fandom board too! And due to the fact I have no idea which board I put this one, if you want to visit my SMILE board, please go to http://www.pinterest.com/pewterwolf/smile/, or if you want to go to my fandom board, please go to http://www.pinterest.com/pewterwolf/fandom-unite/!

Visit both, visit one, visit neither! Just wanna share the love!
