[NEWS] Things to come

I apologize for being MIA as of late,  but fear not, as I have big plans for Twin Pigeon in the upcoming weeks. Here’s a little run-down of a few new features and events to expect.

New Features

Along with new reviews, I also plan on reviewing books that aren’t fresh-off-the-presses new. RetroGrade posts will cover books I’ve recently read (although they may not be recently released), while You Should Be Reading will cover older books that I already love and think you should love too.

I also want to point out that the haunting season is nearly upon us, and Twin Pigeon loves few things more than a little All Hallows’ Eve.  >:D  So, be prepared for a little horror, a few pumpkins, and a lot of creepy books.

And in honor of my favorite season, I have a huge giveaway in the works. I don’t want to give away too much, but I will say this: if you love creepy/scary/awesome movies in large quantities, then you might want to stick around. ;) Check back in late September for the big announcement!

Weekly Posts

Finally, here is a schedule for the new themed posts. I may not do every post-type every week, but you will see them often.

Trailer Tuesdays [upcoming movie and book trailers that having me salivating]

Want It Wednesdays [books that I am eagerly anticipating]

Favorite Things Friday [random things that make me happy, along with a favorite book quote]

Soundtrack Saturday [music to listen to while reading, author playlists, and more]

Second-Chance Sunday [books that I have abandoned for one reason or another...should I give them another shot?]


And that’s it for now! I’ll be back soon with a block of fresh new reviews.

Until then…

[FAVORITE THINGS FRIDAY] Movie Credits

From now on, every Friday I will have Favorite Things post. This will give me an opportunity to squee about random things I love while still concentrating on the main focus of Twin Pigeon–YA book reviews. So, basically, this is just a bit of fun for me. Enjoy!

This may sound odd, but I love me some movie credits. Not only is it fun to mock innocent workers’ names and jobs (sorry guys) while waiting for the illusive after-credits scene, but some films have amazing and entertaining credits. I’ve even seen movies where the credits are by far the best part of the film (of course, this doesn’t say much for the movie…but hooray on the credit designer’s part).

SO, for the first ever Favorite Things Friday, I give you my favorite ending credit sequences:

Kill Bill Vol. 2

This is by far my most favorite ending to a movie ever. Ever. Ever. I could watch it repeat, my love for it is so deep. The music is perfect and beautiful and I love how each clip is cut in relation. And since Kill Bill was originally one film divided into two, it is nice to see the characters from both sections combined at the end. And…*sigh* I must admit, my eyes got a little misty when “AKA Mommy” popped up at the end. DON’T JUDGE.
