Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Trouble in Books
Jan 11, 2021
Another book that's been on my kindle since 2013.
Um...i don't know how to put my feelings into words about this one. The beginning bit was hard to read. I think this is the first book where domestic abuse has been described and happened in detail for me and I didn't enjoy reading it. Mia had such a shitty life at the start.
I liked Jordan a lot. He's the kind of guy I like my girls to get with in romances. Looks like a bad arse but is really a great guy once you get to know him.
Another thing I liked was that it wasn't set in a school/college environment like most other new adult books but at the same time, I kinda missed that element of football games, meeting after classes, sorority/fraternity parties... Yeah, I'm hard to please where NA books are concerned simply because I've read so many.
P.S. I love Dozer!

Contains spoilers, click to show
When I downloaded this I thought it was going to be a new adult book but it isn't, it's a contemporary erotic romance with characters in their thirties.
Nevertheless I enjoyed the book, how the first half or so is based at the spa retreat and the next 40% (it finishes around the 90& mark) is based back wherever she comes from. The difference between her life at home and the tranquillity of the spa is so different and I have to admit I felt sorry for her, though I don't want to spoilt it for those who haven't read it as to why.
I liked Derek from the first moment he's mentioned, maybe it's the way he looks at her from across the bar and seduces her within a handful of pages
It's hard to write a good review of this book when if I talk about the last half of it, I'll spoil it...

Kristina (502 KP) rated A Thousand Boy Kisses in Books
Dec 7, 2020
A love story so profound, it's what all teenage girls wish for in a relationship. Even some adult couples don't reach Rune and Poppy's level of unyielding love and devotion. A Thousand Boy Kisses made me cry no less than 3 times in just the first 153 pages and almost nonstop for the final 3 or 4 chapters. Poppy is so full of life, it's hard to imagine how she can be so optimistic, but it's a view everyone should strive to have. Rune is understandably moody and sullen, but it was amazing to watch how love changed his heart. From the moment they met to their final reunion, I watched in awe at their journey. I read, enraptured, from beautiful beginning to beautiful end. And my heart almost burst.
**SPOILER ALERT**
There's only one thing I wish was different. I wish Tillie had clarified WHY Rune had finally "come home". 27 is awful young, I just wish I knew what sent him there.

I went in to this thinking it was going to be lame but i truly enjoyed this movie. It was unique concept.
It gives a great perspective of the damage violence/bullying can cause and how one has to deals with violence afterwards.
I think this movie is great for adult but kids and teens might not get the real meaning of this movie and only take it at face value.
For example some people might think his collection of women's shoes is because he wants to crossdress but i believe it is just because he likes them like some guys like classic cars. To him they are art, he even mentions his knowledge about shoes when he was saying that they are the wrong time period. By not being in the mainstream like everyone else and doing what he feels comfortable with he is bullied to the max just for being different.

Sabrina got DARK
Sabrina the Teenage Witch was a favourite of mine when I was a tween. I would spend hours on the couch giggling to myself, mostly at the awful anamatronic black cat named Salem.
So when it was announced there would be a reboot my childhood self came marching back, but what I watched wasn't at all the image of the fun,light-hearted, Melissa Joan Hart series I had come to love, NO, it was much, much darker.
Based on the exact same characters but with a much darker sinister plot. However it was enjoyable, with myself being a horror fanatic I felt it was a breath of fresh air, a more older teen/adult version.
Series 1 did seem to play out and I found it difficult to get into it, but with perseverance I made it to the end.
Definately a watch for us 80's/90's babies, but beware, its not quite the walk down memory lane.

Real life issues, that I genuinely still live by.
The forgotten sequel to a classic
Louis Sachar does it again with this sequel to the classic Holes. I loves Holes when I was at school so it was only natural I'd pick this one up.
I know many people that love Holes but haven't even heard of this book. Because of this, over the years I have loaned my copy of this out unfortunately with no return which I will eventually get round to replacing because I LOVED this book.
It's not the longest book, when I was a teenager that was what drew me to it tbh but as an adult I still love it.
It's got some wonderful moments in, it's a book that I think might even be taught in schools (in the UK Holes by Louis Sachar was one).
