Introduction: Literary Genius

First blog! Go easy on me!
Just before I start blogging on a 'serious' note! Just thought I'd mention a few things I love and a few things I despise in terms of literature, TV and films just so you know what I'm interested in!
LOVE:
  1. LITERATURE
    1. Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy, E. L. James - Yes its a tad out there but once I read it I was hooked. Lets face it, all of us were despite what disgusting-ness we were reading. 
    2. Twilight, Stephenie Meyer - I'm a big fan! Sad to see its coming to an end but it will always hold a big  place in my heart for years to come. 
    3. Classics such as Pride and Prejudice, The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, Romeo and Juliet, Of Mice and Men, Huckleberry Finn, The Yellow Wallpaper and Wuthering Heights. Come on, how can you be a literary genius if these books haven't had a profound effect on you? 8-)
  2. TV
    1. Pretty Little Liars - its been dubbed the new Desperate Housewives and frankly I never watched DH but PLL is sure shaping up to match up to the hype. With its gory and dark twists and turns, PLL is turning out to be a gripping show!
    2. Gossip Girl - my favourite American TV show. Full of scandal, typical high school bitchiness and scheming. Nothing beats that! 
    3. 90210 - Can't beat Naomi and her one-liners on her quest to be the best at everything!
    4. Vampire Diaries - One word: VAMPIRES!! Stefan and Damon Salvatore on their quest to save the one girl they both love from the supernatural elements that threaten her life. Even the enemy becomes an ally.
    5. The Lying Game - A relative newcomer to my list of TV shows, TLG is sure shaping up to be a great show with its unexpected twists in Emma and Sutton's search to find their birth mother.
    6. Revenge - "This is not a story about forgiveness" - the title basically says it all. Revenge portrays the loyalty of a daughter to protect the legacy of her father in the aftermath of his death.  
  3. FILM
  • I have an eclectic taste in movies so just because I've watched and loved the Twilight Saga does not mean I am an emo or a goth, it simply means I have great taste LOL. Just kidding.
  • Just because I have watched Twilight does not however mean I won't like something like say Rush Hour. Whatever tickles my fancy. I love all sorts of  movies from horror to comedy to romance to chick flick to politics.
  • I also love to know what's happening in terms of production with reference to taking one of my favourite books from page to screen. So look out for anything I mention on upcoming movies such as the Fifty Shades movies or so!
