So, I started this book around Christmas and am just now finishing it. I think that was a result not so much of the book itself - it wasn't poorly written or anything, I just kept picking up other books instead. Overall, it was a nice, fluffy, cozy mystery that I probably would have enjoyed more if I had read the whole thing at Christmastime. Yes, there were a lot of religious undertones, but I sort of expected that with a Christmas book. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a book to get into the Chistmas mood.


*Although I did receive this book for free through Goodreads First Reads, all of my thoughts and opinions are my own.

Colin Hanks recommended Pulp Fiction (1994) in Movies (curated)

 
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction (1994)
1994 | Crime

"Pulp Fiction was a very big deal for me. That was the first film I remember seeing where I felt compelled to have a conversation afterwards with anyone who saw it. Prior to that, I was still a young kid; I was still in high school, and I would see movies and I would be like, “Oh that was great,” and move on. But that was one that stuck with me for so long; the performances and the dialogue were just so memorable. I just wanted to talk to whoever had seen it. I just felt like it was something you needed to talk about. And obviously that was a film that really changed the direction of film history for a great many people, myself included."

Twists and turns
The series was excellent. I loved the way it slowly unravels. Being a mother is struck a few heart strings but it was amazing. The cast was brilliant. I wish I new more about Alisters previous relationship as I feel like there was something more.

The Graduate (1967)
The Graduate (1967)
1967 | Classics, Comedy, Drama

"I would say The Graduate. I just think it’s such a chic, sophisticated comedy that, at the time, was so groundbreaking. The cinematography so captures that era. Obviously all of the performances, the screenplay, the direction… I mean, I think that’s probably on a lot of people’s top five."

"I’m a history major. I love history and I love the family values and to see how that whole story unfolded. Literally, if it’s on TV and I just watch it for a second, I’m drawn in immediately. The story is so compelling. I just can’t turn away."

Absolutely incredible. This would have been in close contention for my favorite film of 2023 if I had seen it then. Since I only saw it now I can say that I will be rewatching this film many times. What a beautiful story and a great cast of characters!

This was quite a strange book to get into but once I did I really enjoyed it. I thought the author did a very good job at writing from the view point of an autistic boy.
This is kind of like 2 stories in one in the sense that the theme changes part way through, it flowed quite well, not perfect but it kept my interest. The diagrams were a great idea, however, occasionally I did find them a bit distracting and irritating.
This book was popping up on my GR home page quite a lot with many mixed reviews so I thought I would give it a go and borrow it from my local library. I'm glad I did!
