OK, I’ve seen the film over and over again at home on Blu-ray, but nothing can match the feeling you get from seeing it on the big screen, even the opening sequence with the clocks ticking from all around you in the cinema, being able to read the newspaper clippings on the walls and so much more detail that you don’t really pick up on at home.

So by now, you all know the story of Back to the Future if you don’t where the heck have you been! But it all comes down to Doc Brown inventing the time machine from a DeLorean, even Marty is shocked by that one, “Wait a minute, Doc. Ah… Are you telling me you built a time machine… out of a DeLorean?”, in a twist of fate Marty is sent back to 1955 where he has to find the Doc to get back to the future, but things go wrong when Marty changes the outcome of time by accidentally coming between his mother and fathers first meeting.

Blue Christmas Balls
By Nick Spalding

A laugh out loud seasonal novella from Nick Spalding, the bestselling author of the smash hit comedies Fat Chance & Love... From Both Sides.

One man. Three women. Twelve days to achieve Yuletide sexual glory!

Christmas is coming and Matt Bunion is on a mission. Somehow, he's made the huge mistake of remaining a virgin well into his twenties - a grievous error he fully intends to rectify before the Queen's speech starts.

But it's not going to be easy...

What with strange requests to molest living room furniture, painfully inserted action figures, and an extremely festive lady of the night, Matt will be lucky to reach Boxing Day with his pride and manhood still intact.

Ok so it was a little funny but in some parts trying to be too funny! For a novella it wasn’t bad at all I would definitely read more of his work! Don’t think I’ll look at an Ewok without thinking of this book though 😂!

This book is an example of building your own seat at the table. I have seen the lip service to diversity irl life and it should be in our stories as well. Unfortunately we are living in a time where books that point out these inequalities are attacked an banned from getting into the hands of students that need to here these stories.

Gil uses the Sun Tzu's The Art of War to guide him in taking on racism at his school. When he first started going to Augustin Prep the popular kid started a fight over him being black on the first day and the school decided to punish Gil who is there on scholarship for the robotics program. Gil organizes with the other black students who have also been treated unequally. His involvement in school politics gets overwhelming for him and he has to decide what his priorities are...his family, his new relationship with a girl? Very good coming of age story <3<3<3
