Novel Lives

Book Publicity, Book Reviews, And Author Interviews

Two Author Interviews With Giveaways, An Atmospheric Fairy Tale, Good People, Kaell's Continued and Abbohrent Torture, Heroic Means Justify A Heroic End? And Anticipated Sequels: This Week In Novel Lives

I’ve been saving a repeatedly offered free month of Netflix for one reason and one reason only

Part (Season) 3 of Money Heist, the international hit out of Spain, dropped on Friday. Since I hate giving aways spoilers- in case you don’t know of Money Heist (apparently it is the most streamed show on any platform) Here is the trailer from part 1:

Go ahead and watch all three parts- I dare you not to binge them all either in Spanish with the subtitles, or the English overdub. You can thank me later. 

Psst… Speaking of Netflix… checkout some Emmy news about my other favorite Netflix right at the end of the post! 

This is one of those rare times when the  Summer Fling  doesn’t have any announcements! But as we hit the home stretch– wait, what-I know? I know! I’m not really surprised. Unless any surprises come through- which as the NY Lottery used to say- HEY! You never know, we are set through the middle of August!
