Five Shows I Am Tragically Behind On

More Than This Provincial Life is a feature where I’ll talk about anything non-bookish or blogging related. This will include but not be limited to TV shows, movies, anime, music and occasionally my life. This will generally be a feature posted for Friday. You can read other MTTPL posts here. Hi all! I hope everyone is having a good weekend! I am usually pretty good at watching the few shows I actually watch. This becomes a struggle when you suddenly don’t have internet anymore and all the shows are coming out! And, you know, you’re trying to save that $8/a month a company charges. . . I wanted to talk about the five shows that I am so very tragically behind on and need to watch as soon as possible. I’ve loved The Bold Type since the first episode. The second season I liked a bit less but still enjoyed a […]

Ten Times I Related To Fiction A Little Too Closely

More Than This Provincial Life is a feature where I’ll talk about anything non-bookish or blogging related. This will include but not be limited to TV shows, movies, anime, music and occasionally my life. This will generally be a feature posted for Friday. Hi all! I don’t think I’ve ever been happier for a Friday to come. Okay, maybe not since college, but that was…a number of years ago. Let’s not even get into that! ? I’m even extra excited because my three-day weekend is now a four-day weekend! I have tons of plans to blog ahead and schedule posts and upgrade graphics! It will be a productive weekend for sure, I hope. I thought I would end the week with a non-bookish post and the return of a past feature! I never make enough More Than This Provincial Life posts BUT I have found my list of ideas (!!!) […]

NaNoWriMo Celebratory Movie Marathon Schedule

Hey all! I have been so absent. I know, story of my life. Pretty sure I say that in every single post I make. I participated in NaNoWriMo last year and did quite well despite everything going on right now. There is a lot going on but I’m managing. In honor of winning again, I am doing my now annual (apparently) YA movie marathon going from December 1st to December 16th roughly. Here’s the schedule below! I’ll be watching at 7pm Central Standard Time every night and live tweeting with #12DaysofTeenMovies. It is way longer than 12 movies but I liked the hashtag better this way. ? You can follow along with my tweets here. In a perfect world this would have been up on November 30th but we unfortunately do not live in a perfect world. All movie summaries are taken from IMDB. December 1st Ice Princess (2005) With the […]

Those Three Days I Got Away With Binging HTGAWM

More Than This Provincial Life is a feature at YA Indulgences where I share non blogging or book related things. Generally this feature will focus on movies, music, tv shows, etc. Anything not book or blogging related basically. Hey everyone! It’s time for a More Than This Provincial Life post. I haven’t done one of these in foreverrr. Guess what I’ll be talking about? HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER. You may have seen my tweets with the hashtag #AmberBingesHTGAWM. And what a binge it was, I literally finished the first season and what there is of the second season in two days. I feel accomplished. That’s probably bad. Oh well. At least it’s not as bad as when I watched two and a half seasons of Degrassi with an old college roommate. #AllMyWorthIsInTVBinging So what got me started on How To Get Away With Murder was me trying to […]

Everyone Just Breathe In. Breathe Out.

More Than This Provincial Life is a feature at YA Indulgences where I share non blogging or book related things. Generally this feature will focus on movies, music, tv shows, etc. Anything not book or blogging related basically. 🙂 You all knew this was an inevitable post right? I mean, I’ve clearly given enough warning on Twitter about my Hilary Duff obsession. Of course, none of you knew until you saw me going insane over Hilary’s new music this past month. But I did mention that snippet of “Sparks” in a past post and then the full song in another. Not that any of you needed a warning? Right? Right? Wrong?? Well then. Maybe I should give a little preface about this Hilary Duff addiction so you all aren’t shell shocked. 😉 It all started with Which is just a no-brainer. Am I right? I am! I’ll spare you all […]

I Will Go Down With This Ship (Steroline from TVD)

Welcome to my second post for my “More Than This Provincial Life” features. More Than This Provinical Life is a feature where I showcase things that aren’t book or blogging related. They will most likely involve tv shows, anime, and movies. I have a confession, my own secret obsession, and it’s making me lose control (Stick to The Status Quo from HSM) Seriously. Steroline, it’s just like, omg, Stefan + Caroline= Amber Very Happy. This will include spoilers. ~Why Stefan and Caroline Need To Happen~ He saved her multiple times. He helped her as a vampire. <3 They have multiple dance scenes. He only trusted her after he lost his memory. <3 Their relationship has been slow burning. Despite Caroline being Pro-Stelena (before now), Paul Wesley (plays Stefan) is totally for Caroline and Stefan. That’s my fear too… “They have a really beautiful thing that starts blossoming. But, you know, it’s […]

What Is Veronica Mars?

This is the first post for my “More Than This Provinicial Life” feature which will delve into different shows, movies, musicals, anime and other non-book related, possibly life related stuff that I want to talk about. Enjoy. 🙂 What Is Veronica Mars? Alternate titles were: What Do You Mean You Don’t Watch Veronica Mars? What Are You Doing With Your Life? You Have That ARC I Want One thing you may not know about me is that I love Veronica Mars. Like love her. Like, if she were on fire and I were on fire and you happened to have a hose to put one of us out, I’d tell you to save her. Yeah, that’s a bit of a bizarre metaphor/simile/example/”A”-word-I-Can’t-Think-Of, just go with it. The point is, I. love. Veronica. Mars. Now what is Veronica Mars you ask? Veronica Mars is one of the best tv shows ever made. […]

More Than This Provincial Life (Intro)

Hey everyone. Here’s a new feature at YA Indulgences. While I have Amber’s Rambles which is mostly for book and blog talk, I thought I needed something that did not…wait for it….involve books or blog talk. Hence, “More Than This Provincial Life”. If you think that title sounds familiar, you would be correct because those are some of the great lyrics from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, AKA, the best animated movie ever to be created, (though I’m not counting Bluth’s Anastasia so technically I’m cheating). So, this feature will include posts about my own life, personal stuff, interesting stuff, shows I have to shove down your throat, and any obsessions I may have. In short, non-blogging/book related posts. They will still be discussions though, at least generally. 🙂 I’m hoping this will be a great feature that will be done a couple times a month. I already have a post […]
