Hey Everyone! So I know The Big Bang Theory  sadly ended its final season this year, but this show has had a very special place in my heart since almost the beginning.  I sadly have not been able to see the final season, because we don't have cable or DirectTv anymore (we chose streaming sites instead), but I am very much looking forward to Black Friday so I can pick up the final season to binge with my husband at home! Image from IMDB I started watching The Big Bang Theory  in 2010, when I picked up the first season on DVD during a Black Friday sale.  As I watching it, my dad ended up sitting down and joining me and my mom.  And he got HOOKED!  We ended up binging the entire season in one weekend, and after we were done, he went, "Alright, so where is season 2?"  I ended up running to the store, picking up the rest of the next season, and it went on from there, until we ran out, because the current season wasn't out on DVD yet.  Every y...

Hey Everyone! Time for another Tuesday Tunes! This week I am going with the Star Wars Theme song! For one, I can't get my trip recent trip to Galaxy's Edge off my mind, mainly because I am dying to go back for another round Disney fun! And two because this is the one song I have heard my husband hum to himself, which is amazing, because he is can't sing to save his life, but is super cute trying! Thanks Bored Panda for this gem! I love Ewoks!   Look at his cute face!! Anyway Happy Tuesday everyone! The Romance Bookie :)

Hey Everyone! For today's Movie Monday I picked the movie Uncle Buck !  It features John Candy, Macaulay Culkin, and Laurie Metcalf, along with many others! I watched it this past week with my husband for a movie night, because we both hadn't seen it in years!  John Candy is one of my favorite actors.   The Great Outdoors  is one of my favorite movies, I watch it at least once a year; because I never get tired of it! Uncle Buck , has some great quotes!  There is the quarter scene with the principal, and then when he asked Tia's (the oldest daughter) boyfriend if he has ever heard of a ritual killing ceremony.  🤣.  Some great stuff in this movie! It's such a classic, and a perfect movie to start off your fall and holiday season! Image from IMDB If you don't know what Uncle Buck  is about, here is the description from IMDB: Bachelor and all-round slob Buck babysits his brother's rebellious teenager daughter and her cute younger...

Hey Everyone!! I cannot get my trip to Disneyland out of my head! I want to go back!!!  My husband literally just thought about throwing away all our responsibilities and going back for the day...and we live over two hours away!  But you know responsibilities and money management need to take priority today...and probably for the next few weeks. But for this weeks Tuesday Tunes, I am picking songs that play around the park. A particular favorite of mine is a song that only plays in Tomorrowland at Disneyland, but has its own ride at Disney World, called "The Carousel of Progress".  It's one of my husband and my favorite rides!   The song is called "There is a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", and I constantly sing this song around the house, and especially around the parks, when I'm skipping around in my happy place. Right now is Halloween time in the park, which means that the Haunted Mansion is decorated for both Halloween and Christmas, in th...

Hey Everyone! So I missed last week, but dang, was it busy!! FUN! But super busy!  Mainly because my husband and I went to Disneyland!!!  We got annual passes for the first time since 2013, back during our first year together.  We are HUGE Disney fanatics, and love having the opportunity to go anytime we can!  Last year we had Disney World annual passes, because we took this big Family Trip, and were there long enough, that it just made sense to get a pass, and then we went back in February of this year, because we wanted to make the most out of the pass.  Unfortunately, it did expire last month, and even though we told ourselves, we were Disney’d Out when we got back in February from Florida, by the beginning of this past summer, we were already itching to go again.  Especially with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Also we hadn’t done the new Incredible Coaster at California Adventure, so we found a reason to go!  With us getting ready to ...

Hey Everyone! I honestly didn't think I would be approved, but holy moly NetGalley approved me!!! I got approved for Meg Cabot's latest adult novel No Judgements !!  She hasn't released a new series in years, especially an adult one, so I have been really looking forward to this one!!!   From Goodreads : The storm of the century is about to hit Little Bridge Island, Florida -- and it's sending waves crashing through Sabrina "Bree" Beckham's love life... When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island --as well as its connection to the mainland -- twenty-five-year-old Bree Beckham isn't worried...at first.  She's already escaped one storm -- her emotionally abusive ex -- so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake. But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from their beloved pets.  Now it's up to her to save as many of Littl...

Hey Everyone!! So any Stranger Things  fans??!!  Of course there are!! Who isn't right??!! 😉 Well I'm super excited, because I'm going to Universal Studios today for Halloween Horror Nights!  I am a bit nervous, because I don't like being scared, especially in horror film situations, but I am very excited because Stranger Things has a maze this year, so I'm going to be rocking my Stranger Things  t-shirt, with a butterbeer in my hand, and walking around trying not to pee my pants! So we were pretty late to the Stranger Things  game, because we started the show early this past summer.  But man, did we get hooked!!!  We have of course finished it now, in fact I'm already jonesing for the next season...and season three JUST CAME OUT!!! But while we wait for Season 4 to come out, my husband and I have started collecting Stranger Things  Pop Vinyls!  Any Funko fans??  They are sooooo adorable!!!!  My Harry Potter colle...
