Rise: How a House Built a Family

Inspirational. Emotional. This is a powerful 4 star read!

Truly inspirational book which tells of the power of love between a mother and her children.

Reading this you soon realise that Cara Brookins accomplished something so incredible following years of abuse. I found myself laughing, crying and at times biting my nails in horror at each inspiration chapter of this amazing family rise from their ruined old lives.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the advanced copy of this book.

This movie follows the story of a couple who wants to adopt a child. They end up welcoming 3 children into their home one of which is a teenager.
This movie did a great job of showing what it is like to adopt a child, while still being light hearted and funny. It does have some serious moments that help you get invested in the family. Overall it is a great comedy that might encourage people to consider adoption.

I need some movie recommendations. I want to watch something scary. I prefer either ghost stories or serial killers, preferably psychologically frightening, not a violent gore-fest, and with a plausible storyline. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Edited: I like ghosts because of the history involved. I like a good story.


Nothing about religions, cults, demons, exorcisms, and the like.


No tortured ghosts from asylums or other locations of abuse.


No animals. Children are iffy, at best.

I know. He's a freak psycho. But Mandy is not really about him as much as the visuals and the journey. It's almost a horror version of John Wick.

+1 for 'Ghost Stories'. I'm booked to go see the theatre show of this when it returns to London in a couple of months and am really excited! I can also recommend the movie 'A Ghost Story' if you haven't seen it. Strange concept but once you get into it, it's really quite good.

Jodie Whittaker is good as the Doctor and is playing her/him/it well but we miss the good script writers because having grown up with Doctor Who and my children watching it, where are the nail biting moments and hiding behind the sofa, it has all become rather PC and telling stories with morals so bring back the suspense and monsters. I also miss the story line running through the whole series and realising there was one until the clues were revealed.

Great Batman Film everyone should watch !!!
If you love batman as much as I do this film will surely live up to your exceptions. Yes it was made in the 90s, however the animation is still top notch. Plus Mark Hamil as the Joker and Kevin Conroy as Batman is just fantastic. Now when it comes to the plot it contains themes that are relatable to children as well as adults. Overall a good solid Batman film.
