I don’t usually read non-fiction books, but I’m a science geek at heart and couldn’t resist requesting a copy of this in return for my honest review.

It was definitely an interesting read. I loved the humour within the writing, and the combination of complicated scientific terms along with more simplified ones. It was easy to understand for the most part, and I hope I can truthfully say that I’ve learned something over the past two days from reading this.

Due to my habit of reading books at the speed of light, I don’t think the information in this book has sunk in as much as it could have. I personally found it a little hard to follow sometimes, though it was definitely better than skimming a textbook.

This is aimed at an older audience in my opinion, but I was still fascinated by what I read. A lot of it was information that I’d never even considered learning. The effect having a child has on a man’s brain? I can honestly say that it has never crossed my mind.

I did enjoy this book, even though I sped through it and am probably a little too young to fully appreciate some of the references. I’d say Your Daily Brain deserves a strong 3.5 stars, maybe edging up near 4.

"Well, I’m definitely a hopeless romantic and Titanic is one of my favorite movies. It basically came out when I was born, but my mom [showed me] Titanic when I was about — I want to say like eight, nine years old. It’s one of the movies I can never get tired of. I could watch it all the time. Actually, I had a really geeky moment: the make up artist that worked on this last film that I worked on — she had worked on Titanic, and I was like, “No way!” I freaked out and got to see a lot of behind-the-scenes pictures. I was totally fan-girling."

The story fleets between parallel universes and different centuries all having one thing in common vampires. That is in till fate steps in the shape of Jake a former policeman turned P. I , I don't want to say to any more on the story line because it will spoil the pleasure of uncovering the story for other readers

 But what I will say is 'Unknown' by Phil Price has definitely eared a 5 star review from me. The story is well written, intriguing and addictive. But can be a little bit confusing when you first begin to read but all will become clear as you

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

A smoking hot read, be prepared going in. This is erotica, so expect it to be erotic. While there is a storyline attached, the steamy scenes are the star of this novel. I say be prepared because each chapter delves into a different…kink so to say. Some may not be to your tastes while others might have you needing a cold shower. If you are uncomfortable with having your sexual boundaries pushed, you may want to pass this one up.

That being said, if you are an erotica fan, this is definitely a novel for you. I won’t ruin the ending, but can say that, while unexpected, fit the story perfectly. This is the first novel I have read from Reisz, but it won’t be the last. A talented writer as well as storyteller with original creative ideas when it comes to sex, I look forward to reading more from her.

Wow, wow, wow! This book was very gripping! I loved the way the main characters had their own points of view as chapters. The whole plot was amazing. I can not think of one bad thing to say about this book. I'm definitely going to give Heather Gudenkauf's other books a read now as I believe she is a brilliant writer. This book is so emotional, and I would've never guessed the gunman's identity at the end. What a shocker!

What a cute RomCom! My mom and I sat down and watched this and I was very pleasantly surprised! This movie had a lot of heart to it and was very enjoyable to watch! Director Nora Ephron shines again. This is the second movie I've seen of hers and I can honestly say that I like her more and more. What a way to bring back cute and fun and innocent movies. Huge fan, will go back and re-watch again!

If you think that this is just going to be a written version of rocketman think again. The film was great, this book was amazing.
I've always appreciated a lot of Elton John's music but I would never have described myself as a huge fan but after this book I can safely say I am now a fan!
This book has made me laugh, cry and feel disgusted but I would recommend it to everyone! Best book I've read all year!!

Movie Favorite

"Then I have to say — for the pure comedy — His Girl Friday. I love Cary Grant and the relationship he has with Rosalind Russell. The amount of conniving, you know… [laughs] It’s a complete and utter racket. It’s romance without a conscience, their relationship — or at least he doesn’t have a conscience. It just shows you that pure charm can win in the end."
