Loving it!
Mao Mao is about a cat-like being who is destined to be a hero. At least that's what he thinks. Along with his friends Badgerclops & Adorabat, they fight creatures & the resident baddy, Orangusnake.

Thing is, Mao Mao can be a bit of a disaster himself. He's also a bit full of himself. In fact, it's his fault the town of Pure Heart valley. Picture a world the Care Bears might live, along with the characters from Adventure Time.

The show is really funny & the characters are great. I find myself actually laughing out loud many times any episode. Hopefully this one sticks around.

Classic Childs tale
Contains spoilers, click to show
Lyra is a orphan growing up with a group of boring scholars. She has an incredible imagination and would drop anything to do in an adventure with her best pal Roger.

However Roger is kidnapped and taken north by the gobblers. Lyra, being the strong independent young woman she is, is determined to get him back.

This classic story has everything to get your imagination going. There are kidnappings, witches, daemons, armoured bears, hot air balloon trips and a machine that can tell the truth.

Totally worth a read

Book Favorite

"This may not just be my favorite Dickens novel, but my favorite novel period. I read it regularly, and every time is an undimmed pleasure. More, every time it feels fresh. That is the mark of greatness. Although the comic characterization is as juicy as ever, and it’s impossible to read without laughing out loud, Dickens here gives the fullest expression—through the hero who tellingly bears, if back to front, his initials—of horror at the heartbreak, savagery and injustice of the world. It is the ultimate bildungsroman and the truest story of how a person comes to be. Not for nothing was it Freud’s favorite novel."
