Saw The Moment (Charli xcx movie). I freaking loved it. Some characters were so specific they had to be based on real (terrible) people. Bonded with a rando after as we excitedly talked about how huge faces were in one super awkward scene lol

👏👏👏 yeeeeeah!!!

In Iron Man 3 there’s a bad guy terrorist sending out vids claiming responsibility for bad stuff, calling himself the Mandarin, but in the end you find out he was just a washed up drugged up actor playing a role for someone else and didn’t really know what was going on. That actor is in Wonder Man!

You just need to very lightly know the Mandarin’s situation from Iron Man 3 (I can sum it up in one sentence if you like)! No other info needed!

Facts!!!!

Wonder Man was freaking fantastic. Right up there with Wanda Vision and Agatha. I really love when they let the tv series be their own deal.

Review me on BARNES & NOBLE & amazon I've got loads of amazing Goodreads reviews but only a tiny amount of Amazon and Barnes & Nobles reviews. If you read my book, please consider dropping a rating and review on Amazon and, Barnes & Nobles! Not having very many reviews does weird stuff to my discoverability so it would really help me out! Image shows a cell phone with amazon pulled up showing I only have 14 reviews on An Amateur Witch’s Guide to Murder.

Starred Review: AN AMATEUR WITCH’S GUIDE TO MURDER by K. Valentin

Publishers Weekly: An air of dark whimsy pervades Valentin’s thoroughly entertaining debut. In the five years since Mateo Borrero’s less-than-maternal witch of a mother went missing, the 23-year-old has just been trying to get by;…

I’m so excited 🤩 her patreon/discord is so chill and nice. She’s really fostered a wonderful environment.

Black background with mystical star elements in pink. Two book covers are shown. The first one is teal with a magical hourglass and mushrooms and other magical elements. The second one is purple and shows a goth guy at a table with claw fingers summoning a shadow demon hand from a magic book.
