The ‘Wuthering Heights’ Movie, Will I Watch It, and Why I Will/Won’t Watch It

A new movie inspired by Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights was released on February 13, 2026. Although I originally thought it would be just another movie version of a classic novel, things changed once I saw some of the paparazzi photographs surfaced online. As time began to pass, I began to hear more and more about how people online were unsure about this movie and it’s faithfulness to the novel.

After watching a few videos, and viewed more content than that, about the movie, I made a decision about if I would or would not watch the movie and why.

Now it’s time to talk about my copy!

Twilight Deluxe Limited Edition Book Feature

In late 2025, there was a lot of buzz about Stephanie Meyer’s novel, Twilight. It turned 20 years old in 2025. In honor of this anniversary, two new versions of Twilight were released. The first was a 20th anniversary paperback edition. The second was a deluxe limited edition.

I own both versions of the book and like both. Even though they were really popular online, I still wanted to write my own post about these books. The first book I want to talk about is the limited edition.

Bloomingdale’s x Wuthering Heights Collection Favorites

Last month, I discovered that Bloomingdale’s has a new collaboration in their stores. This collaboration is with the movie Wuthering Heights and the studio releasing it, Warner Brothers. The movie, which will being it’s theatrical run on February 13, 2026, will star Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and is inspired by the English novel by Emily Bronte. The collection is part of Bloomingdale’s pop up shop called The Carousel at Bloomingdale’s. The collection is available at Bloomingdale’s in store and online until February 22.

I haven’t thought about Wuthering Heights until the buzz around the 2026 movie started. (‘m not a big fan of the book, so I didn’t think I would see anything I would like in the collection. Much to my surprise, I did find things in the collection I really like! The pieces in the collection, which includes clothes, jewelry, fragrances, beauty products, and more, has a gothic look to it, yet it I think it is very wearable.

After browsing the collection, I decided to pick my favorite items in the collection and feature them in a post. Before I show my favorite items in the collection, I wanted to mention a few things. Bloomingdale’s is a luxury department store, so the prices will reflect that.  All the clothing and jewelry in this post are by the brand AQUA. The napkin rings are by Kim Seybert. And finally, all the product photographs in this post are from Bloomingdale’s website.

Book Review: 12 Days of Christmas, A Little Golden Book Classic

It is Christmas Eve, which is a perfect time for families with children to read Christmas themed bedtime stories. Although there are plenty of books about Santa Claus, including The Night Before Christmas, and the birth of Jesus, I wanted to review a book for Blogmas 2025 that didn’t focus on them.

Instead, I decided to focus on a book about a tradition that was honored centuries ago: The Twelve Days of Christmas. Although the celebration is still honored by many, many just know it by the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Last year, I found a reprinting of A Little Golden Book that tells the story of the song with illustrations. Since December 24th is the night when the Twelve Days of Christmas begins, I thought it would be a perfect time to review this book.

Book Review: Christmas at Hogwarts by J.K. Rowling with Illustrations by Ziyi Gao

Every year, there are new Christmas themed books. Some of them are for adults while others are for children. They tell classic Christmas tales while others tell new and original stories. There are some that are inspired by popular media such as TV shows, movies, and more.

After watching and browsing these books for years, I noticed a major trend for these books. For the past few years, there has been a trend to publish Christmas books inspired by popular media for adults… but these books are meant for children.

One of the books I was curious about was Christmas at Hogwarts. I am not a huge Harry Potter fan, but I was curious about the book. The art looked really nice and the premise peaked my interest. After debating if I would actually like the book, I decided to buy myself a copy and read it myself.

Young Queens Collection: The Curious Crown by Megan Hess Book Review

Every year, I hear about all the Christmas themed books that people need to read. I personally don’t like to read Christmas themed novels near Christmas, but I love to read Christmas themed children’s book! I think it is a nostalgic thing, but as an adult and a fan of illustrations, I always love to look at the illustrations.

One of my favorite illustrators that are still publishing new books is Megan Hess. This year, she published another Christmas themed children’s book, bringing her total number of Christmas themed books to three. I already published a review post about the first book (You can read it here) but not for the second book. Since it is Blogmas, I decided to write a review post about Megan Hess’ second Christmas themed book, Young Queens Collection: The Curious Crown.

Book Review: A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

A few years ago, a YouTube I was following at that time recommended books to read during the fall months. One of those books was A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft.

At that time I wanted to read more books that were popular. In addition to the YouTuber recommending it, A Far Wilder Magic was one of the books that was pretty popular at that time. The plot interested me, so after a lot of thought and debate, I decided to buy the book and read it.

Book Review: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Booktok and online book reviewers in general has really let me down. After years of reading really bad books that are highly praised, I finally gave up on trusting them. I really don’t like the books they review nor do I like the books they praise.

Even though I really don’t like the popular books, there are sometimes books that slip through the cracks and I end up liking it. Sometimes, I can see why they are popular, but I also don’t know how to feel about them. One of the books that have slipped between the cracks is Heather Fawcett’s Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Fairies.

My Great Book Burn Out and Why I’m Sick of Reading New(er) Books

Many things can be hidden by the facade of social media, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing. If you were in my house right now, you would see piles and piles of books I have read, not read, or tried to read/have read but hated.

These piles have been fluctuating in size due to the major clean out and organizing I have been doing for many months. While trying to decide what to keep and what to get rid of, I have slowly realized books is one of the things I want to get rid of, but have a hard time doing so. I like reading and invested a lot of time and money to create my library. This is why I struggle letting go of my books.

Yet, I’m in a major burn out of books. I have been trying to find books I want to keep but so far I’m struggling to find some I want to keep. For the most part, all the books I want to get rid of the most were published within the past ten years.
