The BoMoSh April - Books, Movies and Shows - This Splendid Shambles

Welcome to the BoMoSh!

If you missed last month’s post, the BoMoSh is a post for Books, Movies and Shows. I’ll be sharing what I’ve read and seen in the last month, and I always welcome suggestions for books, shows and movies. Leave me a comment if you think there’s something that I might enjoy.


Books | 6.5

  • Evermore, by Sara Holland
  • The Hobbit, from BBC Radio 4 Dramatised Version
  • King of Scars, by Leigh Bardugo
  • Love Lie Repeat, by Catherine Greer
  • One of Us is Lying, by Karen M. McManus
  • The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy, by Mackenzi Lee
  • Half of Girl, Stop Apologising, by Rachel Hollis

This month was a mix of review copies of books, one I read for the Blogger’s Bookshelf Book Club April theme (okay, one half – didn’t quite manage to finish Girl, Stop Apologising but it’s an ongoing read rather than a sit down and read it all in one sitting kind of book), and an audio book.


Movies | 3

  • Anastasia (1998)
  • The Perfect Date (2019)
  • Avengers: Endgame (2019)

You guys, one word: Endgame. That’s all I’m going to say because it only came out like…less than a week ago and we can’t talk about it yet.

In other movie news, I re-watched Anastasia because I love it so much and it’s so underrated, and also The Perfect Date which is a newbie to Netflix. Highly predictable, but thoroughly enjoyable. I’m off on a long-haul flight this week, so I’m going to be getting in a quite a few more movies in our May BoMoSh, so let’s see what I end up watching!


Shows

I signed up to Neon literally so I could watch Game of Thrones. But I suspect the majority of New Zealand did that because it’s hard to find here in little ol’ NZ. Well done Neon/Sky. Well done. While I had planed to just cancel my subscription to Neon (already having Netflix) after GoT ended (foreveeeer! So sad), I actually think I’ll keep it as it has some of my favourite shows on it that I haven’t actually finished watching, such as Supernatural, Nashville, Grey’s Anatomy, iZombie, and then a few that I’ve seen the odd episode of but that I need to keep watching. It might be a long-lasting relationship, Neon and I. We’ll see.

Other than GoT, I finally finished The Umbrella Academy and I’m looking forward to another season of that. I’ve also watched Splitting Up Together, which is a 20min show that actually makes me laugh out loud. Riverdale, Shadowhunters, and Rowell: New Mexico have all been weekly shows that I’ve been keeping up to date with, but I keep forgetting to watch The Passage, so that’s been put on the backburner for now.

The 100 Season 5 and Lucifer Season 4 are both coming to Netflix ANZ this month, so I’m looking forward to catching up on those!
