I think this is the biggest age gap I've ever read in a book (22 yrs) but strangely it didn't bother me at all. Cooper was just so mature for his age, it was on a very rare occurrence that he'd do or say something that made him seem in his 20's. And Tom was pretty cool, too. Together they were just a cute couple.

The whole Architecture thing was really interesting too. It's not something I'd have thought would interest me but reading about the drawing of buildings and all the details that were needed...it was quite fascinating.

I'd definitely be interested in the rest of the series.

"Still with the Italians, I’m sorry! With many things in life you’re there because there’s a cute girl around that you want to go out with and you end up finding magic. You end up not caring about the girl but wanting to stay there because of what you found. That happened with Amarcord to me. I really thought a lot about creating images and the connection that cinema had with theatre in a way. That film feels a little bit like theatre. I lived all my life watching theatre and it’s when I found the connection with what I was watching and could do in my life."

"Okay, this might be really cheesy. I can’t stop thinking about The Sandlot. I have a thing for retro movies. I mean, I know it’s not retro for a lot of people, but for me it is because, obviously, my age. The Sandlot is one of my favorite movies because of the storyline and because the characters are so young. It was just so interesting and so cool to see young actors give such big personalities to these characters. It was something that just stuck with me. I remember the lead guy [Tom Guiry] being really cute and just thinking that he was adorable."

Mills & Boon meets fantasy and VAMPIRES!
As a fan of reading the short Mills & Boon books as a divider between larger more intense novels, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. This was Mills and Boon meets fantasy and vampires, a brilliant page turner, demolished in just over an hour.
Not reading the previous stories in the Valorian Chronicles, I was not familiar with the characters but this did not effect the enjoyment of book.
If you like fantasy and mass market paperback romance, you will certainly enjoy this. Be aware that the adult scenes are not your standard "cute" romance.

Asher has grown on me so much over the last couple of books and I enjoyed reading this. It was so cute, the relationship that popped up between Asher and Sticks/Remy. Proper guys chat and stuff. I also quite liked the Elisa thing, too, though it added an extra level of crap to lies she was telling. BUT I wanted them to get together so badly, I didn't care. I've even just staying d up till gone 1am so I can find out what happens with these two and I'm a happy bunny. They got there in the end.

Off to start the next book in the series!!
  
I am in love with this series!

The action, the romance: it's perfect reading for me.

I'm loving the whole Hendrix and Reagan romance. And Haley and Nelson are quite cute too.

There's just one thing spoiling this and that's the addition of the annoying, whiney Tyler. She needs a good dose of living outside sheltered accommodation and with the gang I think she'll get that. Maybe the animosity between her and Vaughan will lead to something and she'll chill out a little.

With her being a recent addition, she hasn't made me mark down the book yet but if she doesn't stop her whining I'll be petitioning for her demise :/

Friends 'til the end
Yet another reboot of Child's Play. I'm not sure we need another Chucky film to be honest but at least this had some new ideas. Set present day the Buddi doll can interact with a mobile app and other smart devices. This at least does allow for some fun plot elements and variety in kills. So it does differ in some ways from the original. The biggest problem is the look of Chucky. Not cute enough to be believable as a toy and not creepy enough to be scary. It's not bad as a Slasher film but nothing particularly memorable.

Kaijumax is about huge monsters that are in prison. Humans round them up to contain them so that they don't destroy their cities. It's a funny, violent story about the monsters trying to survive inside of their maximum-security prison. Reading the words that they use for curse words took some getting used to, but they're repeated often enough that you remember fairly quickly. There is a lot of actual drama going on in the story from all angles. The illustrations are cute and brightly colored, so it's definitely fun to look at, but the story, itself, is funny, gory, and sometimes intense. It's definitely not a series for young children!
