This was probably the most well-written book I read in 2016. It was seriously beautiful!! I wish it would have been longer, but this short beauty of a novel still managed to cover DECADES of a person's life!
  
How much fun could a book about crime be? Well, if it involves a group of elderly people in Sweden, a whole lot. Read more about this lovely novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/06/14/naughty-but-nice/

You know me and Star Trek. Of course I was going to enjoy this one. 2016 has been a cruel year though, and the death of Anton Yelchin is going to be a loss to the Star Trek world.

Gripping in part, keeping you in suspense from time to time. (1 more)
Some decent filming.
Not up to the thrill and horror of jaws. (1 more)
This film has the feel of being dated for it's 2016 age.

Love Queen! I was lucky enough to see them at the IOW Festival in 2016...would have loved to have seen Freddie back in the day but I have to say Adam Lambert did him justice & was a great act. (0 more)
