Recently widowed Nora isn't sure about anything anymore. She has her children and her home and family, but she doesn't know much about being herself. Now that she's lost the man she loved for so long, she no longer has any choice but to finally find out. Read my review of this beautiful portrait of grief and strength, here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/09/12/becoming-nora/

Lupita Nyong'o recommended The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row in Books (curated)

"A shatteringly beautiful memoir about Hinton’s life on death row for 28 years for a crime he did not commit. It’s a real downer to read about something as dark and unfortunate as wrongful incarceration, but Mr. Hinton expresses himself with a heart incomprehensibly swollen with love and gives meaningful insight into his alienating experience. And he does so with a disarming sense of humor."

This was a funny yet deeply romantic retelling of Anne Lister's relationship with Ann Walker. The chemistry between the two actresses was beautiful watch. The soundtrack was also awesome. (0 more)

There wasn't really anything bad about this show. (0 more)

It's very difficult to explain everything that someone could possibly enjoy about this show in one review, my suggestion is to watch it for yourself and make up your mind.

A web of lies, that draws you in.

An alcoholic father, a cheating wife and a beautiful daughter. What could go wrong?

The depth of the main characters is intriguing. The author really paints a solid picture of the main 2 characters and keeps building.
I felt 'alive' reading this.
It brings so many raw topics to mind. It really has you looking at things differently.

This movie is my childhood. Howl is the guy I aspire to be with and Sophie is the whimsical beauty I wish I could be. It is by far my favourite Studio Ghibli movie and will continue to be far into the future. I love the story and the romance, how Howl and Sophie battle things together and eventually realise their love for each other. Beautiful.
