It's a bit like Dirty rotten scoundrels but this time it's the women who are the con artists. It's funny in places and has a tad more of an adult theme to it than DRS. A bit long at around 2 hours but at least that means the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt is on the screen a bit longer. Overall quite light hearted and predictable but not too bad.

Fantastic young-adult adventure
In this book you follow Torak, a young boy, who develops an incredible relationship with a wolf pup. Together they go on an amazing adventure. Full of twists and turns. The author is extremely good at descriptive writing, as you read this you can really picture the scenes. This took me 2 days to read, that's how good it is.

I read this book as a child in elementary school and I loved the story. It is a wonderful tale that pulls you in, but is heartbreaking too. If you are an animal lover it will definitely tug at your heart strings. I'm not an overly emotional person, but it did make me cry. It was definitely worth the read and I may read it again as an adult.

I really liked Deadpool, it was good to see an adult superhero movie and the humour was excellent. Unfortunately, for me, this just wasn't as good. It was similar to the first film in character and style, maybe that was the problem. It just seemed like more of the same but not as good, they seemed to me to be trying too hard to make it work on too many levels.

A fun movie
What happens when you mix the movie Big with a superhero movie......you get this fun movie.

I was surprised by it. I am not one for superhero movies and definitely not a fan of DC movies. This just not talks about how a new superhero has to learn about his powers but also how a 14yr boy has to deal with being an adult.

Young adult novel about a teen who moves to a small town in Washington and falls in love with a vampire... I enjoyed it (and this isn't my normal reading fare), but couldn't past the terrible writing, lack of character development, and clunky passages that just made me cringe. If it had been better developed and written, it would have been a total winner, because it still had me spellbound.

Love Instagram
As an adult over 40 and daily user of social media I find Instagram a way more interactive site than FB. I love FB but I find people seem to respond more to your posts than FB. Plus you now have Insta Story which is much easier than Snap Chat and you can add words, emojis and so much more to make it fun and interactive.

Is it possible to add more categories to the books section? I have just added a book and found it very hard to classify it, all that fit was fiction and poetry which is not the most helpful classification. Perhaps a way to classify the book as adult or for mature audiences as well as dark romance would be helpful as just using the romance option feels very misleading. Thanks (:

I agree that fiction and poetry should be separate, and Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Historical fiction should also be a category, and there should be some sort of differentiation between the different kinds of Romance (erotica? If you don’t read it, I doubt you’d want to accidentally read about it!). I’ll have a think about others.

I don’t know what you would call this but perhaps some way to know if a book is a complete story or not. I know quite often in a series each book is about a different character within the same world, therefore each book is a complete story and you don’t necessarily need to have read the other books to still enjoy that one. I hope this makes sense (:

Great!
This one was on Netflix(not exclusive). An awesome crime thriller that is full of twists and turns in the story. Charlize Theron was (as always) amazing, as was the rest of the cast. The cinematography was great and the story unfolded with a slow churning intensity. Some mild violence, but otherwise nothing too bad for kids. However, I'd say it's more of an adult tale. Really worth a watch!

Fun for the family
Surprisingly well aged even if some of the green screen effects are a little noticable. Still slightly creepy and inspiring. Gmork's monologue near the end is even more terrifying as an adult. If you're in the mood for something fantastical and a trifle silly and family friendly (except for maybe the sphinx statues) this is a movie for you.
