Book 4: A Court of Frost and Starlight

 


A Court of Frost And Starlight

Sarah J. Maas

 Released: May 1st, 2018

 (Was originally written November 9th, 2022)


Book #4 completed.

3 Down, 2 To Go.

Frost and Starlight was a nice sort of epilogue to the first 3 Court of Thorns and Roses series books.  It details the Solstice celebration, and plots the future fates of different characters in a relatively short 232 pages.

I enjoyed the smaller moments.  The meals they shared.  The gift giving.  The interaction between the characters.  The love and care they all share together amongst one another.  The continuing of their story as it concludes things to an extent.

On to A Court of Silver Flames.  This will take on a new direction as it no longer focuses on Feyre and Rhysand, but Nesta and Cassian this time around.  This next one will be my longest book of the year, at a particular spicy 768 pages.

Capping out the year (assuming I stay on track and don’t fast-track these books) will be Mick Foley’s “Mankind: Have A Nice Day!”  A nice 503 autobiographical take on the hardcore wrestling legend.

1,271 pages to end out the year.  Go Get It!

Book #40: “Friday The 13th Part II” by Simon Hawke

  Friday The 13th Part II Simon Hawke   Released: February 2nd, 1988 My 10th book for 2024 was Simon Hawke’s “Friday the 13th Part II” novelization. I have been waiting for over 20 years to read this book.  Read that again.  Twenty.  Years.  Two decades. I'm 35 currently.  20/35 means I have been searching for this book 57.14% of my entire life. I have checked every used bookstore I have walked into from Maryland, to Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, California, Virginia, Oregon, Washington...flea markets, yard sales, estate sales, antique shops, the Mi le-Long Yard Sale, Powell's Books, Wonderbook & Video, Half-Price Books, Wee-Scot Book Shop, Borders, Waldenbooks, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble...the lis t goes on and on.  I have come to the conclusion that this is an extremely rare book to come by.  You would think a paperback book from 1988 would not be that difficult to find. Amazon.com has a seller listing this book.  Just for sheer amus

Book 42: “Friday the 13th Part 3” by Simon Hawke

  Friday the 13th Part 3 Simon Hawke   Released: May 3rd, 1988 My 12th book for 2024 was Simon Hawke's “Friday the 13th Part 3” novelization. I was given the opportunity to read this by a fellow fan Aaron.  Special shout-out to him for helping me obtain the text to read the novel. This is a special adaptation as it is the only story of the Friday the 13th movies to be adapted twice.  The first one, " Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D "  was adapted in 1982 by Michael Avallone.  This 2nd version was adapted in 1988 and released in subsequent order with Hawke's 2 prior novels based on Parts 1 & 2. Part 3 was the last of the original Friday the 13th movies I saw when I first started watching them in 2003/2004.  It has long since been one of my favorites.  It has a very unique style that makes it stand out from the other films.  And that's before taking into account the film was shot in 3D to capitalize on the craze going on in the early 1980's. Something about this

Book #43: Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives

  Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives Simon Hawke   Released: January 1st, 1986 My 13th book (how fitting?) for 2024 was Simon Hawke's “Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives” novelization. I was given the opportunity to read this by a fellow fan Aaron.  Special shout-out to him for helping me obtain the text to read the novel. If you've been following along the last few blog entries, you're probably wondering why I would skip from Part 3 straight to Part 6.  The truth is, Parts 4 and 5 were never novelized. This has been my understanding of the situation over the years.  In 1986, the producers hired Simon Hawke to write a novelized form of their newest Friday the 13th film, which was Part 6.  The novel did reasonably well, and as a result, Hawke was asked to go back and novelize the previous entries in the series.  He did Parts 1 and 2 which released over 1987 and 1988.  He then did a second novelization of Part 3 in mid 1988 (Part 3 had originally been novelized at the time
