"I have this real image - for some reason - that it came out the summer I left prep school, and was going to public school. I was 13, and I remember playing it at a friend's house - Benjamin - and I also have this image of me sitting in the bath listening to it on the cassette machine and having to wipe my hands when I changed the tape over. I thought it was a man to begin with, when I first heard 'Fast Car' on the radio. The a capella one, 'Behind The Wall', blew my mind. There's not many records that are that concise as a piece of work, and it often happens when it's a new artist because they're not having to try so hard and they just come out with what they want. That record was a real moment, whatever that moment was."

If you are looking for a fun book with an ace lead I recommend this one! I just loved this book a lot, and I wish that it was talked about more. It was such a fun read, and yet also very emotional at times!

Question
Other than having a blank page and the prompt appears, is there another way to add a show? I've been trying to add a show called Ashes of Love so that I can review it in the near future, but whenever I type in the title, iZombie shows up so I can't add it.

One of my favourites as child back then I always thought it was a movie till I got older but In my opinion it didn't matter to me as child I know the effects were on a TV budget compared to the remake version but it does have a certain. Charm

I really enjoyed this story, some parts were a bit over the top and it was def a lovey dovey story but I enjoyed it. I like a good sweet romantic read..plus this had added betrayal, confusion, and loyalty in it. The plots and twists were very good and the characters drew me in.

While I am a fan of all things Disney, Emma Watson was a poor match for portraying Belle. The re was significant hype around the movie and as soon as she opens her mouth to “sing” I was disinterested. Such a shame, as I love Emma but this was not the role for her.

Whoa. As a girl with depression and anxiety, this hit me hard. I loved this book. There were compelling characters, with multiple flaws, relatable situations, and an amazing plot.
I admit, Wallace was a bit of a douche near the end, and that pissed me off, but, like he apologized, so it's fine I guess.

This movie is a really awesome Netflix Original. The cinematography is excellent. The acting is compelling, even the children are incredible. Lots of action, with a huge surprise plot twist. I was blown away when I realized what was actually happening. This is a very creative, thrilling sci fi movie and I highly recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book was incredibly creepy! Told in first person it explores a '90's childhood and the life of a child therapist.

There's some really neat twists that I didn't see coming.
I highly recommend this book.

If the Strokes had an English baby
I was really impressed when I first heard this album. I am a big lover of The Strokes, and honestly, it's so similar. Not in a way in which you could think they're copying, but you can hear a really strong influence on these new age rockers.
