Georgie leaves London just ahead of a scandal and discovers that Scotland can be just as dangerous. Someone is targeting the royal family. Can she find out who it is? This series is light and fun, and I enjoyed every minute of my visit to 1932 Great Britain.

Michael Westen takes on the case of former bank robber Bruce Grossman who needs to return some items stolen from a vicious biker gang. The plot was wonderful and the characters were spot on to their TV selves. Great read, but a must read for fans of the series.

Shawn and Gus are hired to find a magician that disappeared during his magic trick and figure out who the dead guy was who appeared in the magic tank in his place. The series characters were spot on and the plot was the zany fun you'd expect from this franchise.

Josh is the seventh book in The Lawmen Of Silver Creek Ranch Series. Ive enjoyed all of the previous books but this was lacking the romance and excitement i've come to expect. Thankfully not as many "Oh Mercy" 's in this story, which drove me mad in Delores other books but too many telephone calls in this, Josh spends most of his time on the phone than solving the crime.

Emotional!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I binge watched the tv series and thought it was epic. Really hits you in the feels.

So, naturally I had to read the book as well and compare the two. They’re both amazing, as always the books better but that’s just my opinion.

The story about the tapes and what happened in the run up to the girls suicide really being up a variety of emotions.

This show has been quite excellent as of yet. The casting was absolutely perfect with Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, the Baudelaires are also cast very well. The directors managed to keep many of the details from the series, a quality I appreciate as it preserves my childhood memories of the book. Lemony Snicket is a nice change from the other shows that are being made nowadays.
  
Of the whole series this is my favorite, mostly because of the cats. They are very sassy. This story is told from Morwen's pov. Killer the rabbit reminds me of the quote "you got all worked up over a rabbit." -- Mrs. Brisby, Secret of NIHM. Because he is just as silly as his name suggests. This book takes itself a little more seriously than the others but is still light hearted.

Better then I expected
This film is an amazing addition to the Harry Potter movies. I thought the story line was amazing aswell as all the links to the hp series such as all the creatures that had been mentioned in them but not seen, as well as all the new ones that were added from the fantastic beasts book. I'm definatly looking forward to the crimes of grindelwald!

Really cute. I haven’t read any other book in this series but I didn’t feel like I walked into the middle at all. Quick novella but it didn’t move too quickly at all. Loved the history and interaction between characters. Especially like the way Noah is portrayed on the spectrum and defining some ticks etc some autistic kids experience. Would love to read another by this author soon!!
