"“Grief and Reason” is the book I most often return to. It contemplates death as it has been presented in prose and poetry over the ages. The book continually asks the question of whether loss creates a sense of self or destroys it. It also poses the question of whether loss or mourning can bring forth a new artistic language."

Fantastic series
Love the entire In Death series. JD Robb is the alternate pen name for Nora Roberts because the series really follows a single chatacter as she solves murders in the mid 21st century. Completely different feel from her Nora Roberts books which, while I love them, can sometimes be predictable and saccharine at times.

Part 1
Heavy hitting, violent, trauma, and more. This part of the film is really good. Part 2 not so much.


The Plot: Batman comes out of retirement and gets help from a teenage sidekick. He faces off against the Joker and Two-Face before a battle to the death begins against Superman.



It is also pg-13, so that is a plus.

Fresh entry in the horror genre
This movie puts you directly in the shoes of the main characters, where even the slightest noise could turn any moment into a life or death situation. It's all tied together by mysterious predators, and the unbreakable bond of family.
