DNF 1

I had a huge 7 5⭐️’s this month! My absolute favourite was House of Blood and Earth I cried buckets and got so invested in the book!
One of my 5⭐️’s was #fromabox The Silver road was just so good and I highly recommend it!

Jessie Keane and Peter McKeirnon are fast becoming two of my favourite authors and you couldn’t get two books further apart lol.

My DNF this month was an indie book and I just couldn’t get along with it!

I’m hoping to add a few more than 18 in July it’s been a busy month!
     
AC/DC announced the death of guitarist Malcolm Young on Saturday (Nov. 18) on their Facebook page.

The rhythm guitarist and guiding force behind the bawdy hard rock band AC/DC helped create such head-banging anthems as “Highway to Hell,” ″Hells Bells” and “Back in Black.” So it's only fitting that we take a look at all the wonderful music he helped create over the years:

In memory of guitarist Malcolm Young who passed away this week, Billboard has put together the best AC/DC albums ever made.

A colorblind 18 year old that stands up for those unable to stand up for themselves.

I fell in immediately and deeply in awe/amazement with Scarlett. She loses her parents through a traumatic incident, uncovers age old secrets, and continues to fight for the innocent.

Twists and turns, romance, action, mystery! I couldn't put this book down! Can't wait to devour book 2!!!

The truth
The game overall is okay, dont get me wrong I did love it and will be buying fifa 18 as always though we expect the next fifa to be better than the previous but all we are really getting is some updated teams and graphics really, with the exception of "the journey" which for me was lacking something.

Movie Rating
An ok well made film, but again I have an issue with these 12A rated "horror" films, really need to be cranked up a little to be scary which would mean at least a 15 or 18 rating. It's just not that scary or jumpy, it has a good cast but it's too similar to many others of the genre. It could have been a lot better.

Book Favorite

"Imagine being an 18-year-old girl, on holiday with two radical poets, and coming up with an idea for a Gothic horror novel which also more or less invents the genre of science fiction, which then goes on to become such a huge and enduring success, constantly open to reinterpretation and reimagining, that it still seems vivid and alive two hundred years later."

When I was on vacation abroad, I finished reading this very interesting, contemporary, women’s fiction novel, set in my home town of Chicago. This book was offered to me by the author’s publicist, and if you want to know what I thought of it, I hope you'll read my #bookreview on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/10/18/games-sets-and-mismatched/

I may not have fallen in love with the characters of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but I was mesmerized by the story. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer capable of weaving a multifaceted tale. I loved her writing style

Another amazing first read win! The note that came with the book said for ages 14-18 but it was such a real and moving story that I would recommend it to anyone. I felt Kai's pain, chuckled at some parts, and cried a couple times as well. Loss impacts everyone's lives at some point or another and this book shows how life can go on after loss.

Great action film
I really don't get the critic and low ratings for this film. This ticks all the boxes for an 18 rated film. Good to see things not watered down just to achieve a 15 rating. A film with close proximity fights to the death and shoot outs is going to be bloody!
I'd say it one of best action films in quite a while. It's a mix of a Bourne storyline and ideas with @Heat (1995) style shoot outs and fights featuring Iko Uwais from @The Raid (2011)
Personally I didn't find the plot confusing which has been mentioned in a few reviews and it has a neat twist as well.
If you like your action, brutal, gritty and with a bit more realism this is a film you will enjoy.
