If You Like ‘The Wheel of Time’ You Should Add These To Your TBR!

In 2021 Amazon Prime released the first season of The Wheel of Time. The series is set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only some can access it. The series is adapted from the novels written by Robert Jordan. And after his passing, Brandon Sanderson continued the series. There are roughly 14 books in the series with other spin-offs and reference books to dive into.

Here at MBC, we have been obsessed with fantasy novels for years and The Wheel of Time is one of Maude Garrett’s favourite series on Amazon Prime!

Sir Kenneth Branagh has returned with another Agatha Christie adaptation. A Haunting in Venice is based on the novel Hallowe’en Party. Branagh enjoys his mystery thrillers after his success with Murder on the Orient Express. He wanted to draw from the genius of Christie by presenting her work to the world on the big screen. According to Branagh, this film is a sequel to Death on the Nile and will have supernatural elements similar to the book.

Convincing You to Read Books by Leigh Bardugo

You know that Maude has been obsessed with Leigh Bardugo because of Six of Crows!

After Shadow and Bone season two was released, I decided to read it as well and I couldn’t put it down. The reason why Leigh Bardugo is such a talented writer is because of her pacing and descriptions for the action set pieces in her novels.

Leigh Bardugo created the Grishaverse which has now become even more popular because of the Netflix series. The next adaptation will hopefully be Six of Crows after the introduction of the jurda parem in season two.
