Megatokyo is by far my favorite webcomic. I cannot tell you how many times it has made me cry after spending about 5 minutes laughing my head off because it is that funny. Although you can read it on line for free, it is better to read it in book form if you can find it because it flows more easily that way. In my opinion this is probably the volume where the story starts getting really good, and the writer's art style has improved from the first book.

I have read 1-9 in this series so far and so this review covers 1-9. This is one of the best yaoi series I have read. I am defintely going to carry on with collecting the rest of the series as it hasn't let me down yet. I like all of the characters and the stories are all great in their own way. The first book is a little slow but book 2 picks things up very well. Highly recommended to lovers of Yaoi! I wasn't disappointed!

Anyone else belong to a bookclub? We have our next meeting on Monday and, as we are a wine-and-dine bookclub, we've going for a curry! Sometimes difficult to think up books to nominate that aren't too long, that people won't hate and will generate some good discussions. I think our favourite so far is probably Rebecca. We allow anyone at the meeting to nominate a book and then it goes to a vote - how do others work theirs? And of course do you have any books that really worked well for bookclub discussion?

I just joined a bookclub last month and so far really enjoy it. Anyone can nominate a book and then we all vote (2 votes each). A book stays on the nomination list for a few months and if it isn't picked it's dropped. We read Station 11 and that got a lot of discussion. Some people loved it (I fell into this camp), others were so so and a few didn't like it at all.

I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and had been looking forward to reading it. However, I was pretty disappointed with this book, with all the great buzz that had been created so far. I would give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. For all the drama I felt like it really lacked excitement until the last three chapters and it still was wrapped up extremely quickly once you reached the part that was a real page turner. I did enjoy the chapter switch from each character narrative.

My favourite
This is by far my favourite of the Harry potter books. Different from the others because of the time turner.
Harry, Ron and Hermione start their third year at Hogwarts and as usual end up in trouble and an adventure. Not only has it got all the amazing things that make every Harry potter book great but with the addition of buckbeak, the new classes, the dementors and other amazing creatures. It is a book that I can read over and over again and still enjoy.

Roadkill (Cal Leandros, #5)

6.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Fifth book in the Cal Leandros series, and Rob Thurman appears to have learnt her lesson from the disappointing "Deathwish".

Again, the narrative is told in the first person but (thankfully) this time, Rob Thurman does not take it chapter about to have different characters speaking. Whereas "Deathwish" had it brother about per chapter (who 'sounded' far too alike), "Roadkill" only has Cal Leandros narrating, with his sections 'book-ended' by a chapter told by a completely different character, complete with their own distinctive voice.

This is a return to form!

An amazing adaptation
This book is by far one of my favourite books by Jojo Moyes. It is such a stunning story and I was amazed at the character development made to Louisa from the first book. After the death of Will in book one it was a struggle for Luisa, and her romance progression in book two. It was lovely to see her revolve a 360 to her back to working with a wealthy family. Overall, amazing!
  
Moana (2016)
Moana (2016)
2016 | Adventure, Animation, Comedy
As well as horror I also love Disney movies.
Moana involves one impulse driven chieftains daughter trying to defeat a curse brought about by the Demi God Maui when he removed something he shouldn't have. It's Moana's role to get Maui and restore what he took.
For Disney the songs are as always catchy and Moana's song How Far I'll Go is so uplifting and inspirational, Maui's song Your Welcome shows that The Rock can sing, villan Tamanota also gets Shiny.
Animation is great, voice cast is excellent.
The chicken is amazing.

A Pleasant Surprise!
This film is an excellent adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel. As most know, this is not the first adaptation, but certainly the better of the two so far (hopefully Chapter Two will do the same).

While we all loved Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the Clown, the original TV movie lacked depth and had several irritating plot holes. Splitting the story into two parts was an excellent choice, and has given moviegoers the chance to experience all IT has to offer.
  
I'd honestly forgotten how good this one is!
Hi Fergie!
So, it deals with fear on two different levels. The fear of abandonment. Grandma has a brain tumor and his dad's plane is shot down.
And fear of the supernatural. An evil person with a magic box that can turn people into mummies.
Johnny's determination to find the will and the way he goes about it is one of my favorite things. Because he's far from perfect but even with the mistakes he makes, Johnny is a good bean.
