More a collection of short stories that are loosely tied together rather than a novel in it's own right, with most of those stories involving Bertie Wooster's friend Bingo Little - he who falls in love with every other female - in some form or other, and also occasionally including Wooster's cousins Claude and Eustace.

This collection includes Aunt Agatha's attempts to hitch Bertie in France to who-proves-to-be a conman, the cats in the bedroom incident with Sir Roderick Glossop (that continually crops up in other books), Bingo Little's Village Fair play, and (one of) Wooster's sojourn in America that involves stage shows.

As always, it is up to Jeeves to save the day in each and every incident ...

I miss Brendan Fraser being in big movies. Re watched The Mummy (1999) last night. Probably going to go through my collection of Brendan Fraser movies and review each one, including;

The Mummy
The Mummy Returns
Bedazzled
Looney Tunes: Back In Action
George of the Jungle
Journey to the Centre of the Earth


And maybe some more :)

The most immediately striking thing about Jennifer Lopez’s first greatest-hits collection is just how many hits the dancer turned actress turned singer turned fashion designer turned talent competition judge has racked up over the years.
Critic- Sal Cinquemani
Original Score: 3.5 out of 5

Dumbledores commentaries (1 more)
Illustrations
Short and sweet
A great addition to the wizarding world collection. This is a short but sweet read with a few stories that are "classics for young wizards". JK Rowling was clever to think of adding commentaries by Dumbledore after each story, this really feels like Dumbledore is engaging with the reader. What's not to like?

When an obnoxious collector dies at a kiln opening, art reporter Molly Appleby smells something fishy. The plot moves slowly, the characters were paper thin, and I hated the ending. Other then that, I loved it.

A collection of essays written by tie in writers that cover everything you'd want to know about those books based on your favorite movie or TV series. Since I read the occasional tie in, I found this book fascinating.

A very average action/thriller, more of a teenage Bourne identity. It obviously had plenty of money to be spent on it, but from the very experienced cast none of the performances were that good. It does feel like a collection of ideas from other films, but sadly doesn't do them as well. Ok if nothing else is on.

I won this book on a Goodreads Giveaway and I didn’t realize it was a collection of short stories all connected by one place. There were some quotes that really struck a chord with me, however, overall I really felt it was hard to get into some of the stories and connect with some of the characters.
