No unnecessary sequel!

Catchy, heartfelt, and whimsical... suck it Disney!

Tulio and Muigel are a couple of con artists who need to make a hasty escape. Some shenanigans insue, and the pair find themselves far away from home, looking for the fabled city of gold, So Dorado.
They are mistaken for Aztec gods and must keep up their farce in order to leave with some gold, and their heads.
It comments on the way some cultures are explored by explorers and in its subtle way, teaches us to open out minds and eyes to the ways of others.
A beautiful tale of fun and friendship, the humour is great for kids, with some adult jokes in there to keep the parents entertained too.
One of DreamWorks great animated films, it is a must for all ages.

This is unlike any other game we play, it involves a bit of roleplay and gives you the chance to create some ridiculous characters, so we have had a lot of fun with it. I really like the tutorial element to this game as it allows you to play through it immediately - as someone who usually loses the will to live halfway though being told the rules, it is a breath of fresh air just being able to get on with things. The same scenario cards do start popping up after a couple of replays, which is to be expected, but if you're imaginative and getting into different characters each time then it might not be too much of a problem.
Some reviewers advise against playing this with a spouse, but happily our marriage has (so far) been able to withstand playing Fog of Love.

Spellbound (Magic in Manhattan #1) by Allie Therin

SPELLBOUND is the first book in the Magic in Manhattan series, and I seriously can't wait for book two!

Set in the 1920's, you get a front seat to all that involves--Speakeasy's, prohibition, mobsters, Germans. It's all here, and gives you an insight into what life might have been like.

Rory and Arthur make for a perfect couple! I loved Rory's sass and his spitting alley cat fight. Arthur is the big softie with an even bigger heart, who just wants to help.

With a great cast of characters, this story was gripping from the very start. The pacing is smooth, there were no plot holes I fell through, and the world building is outstanding.

With humour, sass, peril, and betrayal, this book had it all for me. Highly recommended, and when is book two coming out? Absolutely brilliant.
