"The climax. The euphoria that comes from that intro. You know everything's going to be OK. You can feel they've gone through this hell, and they've arrived at this place that didn't really do them any good. They broke up, but it's a massively positive song, and it's absolutely fantastic. People say they didn't fulfil their potential - Keith Richards says bands don't stay together long enough - but really? They didn't have to. That one album is up there with Never Mind The Bollocks, with with any classic debut album. It's up there. Totally.""

This was a great, thoroughly researched book about the 1996 Atlanta Bombing, and the subsequent railroading of the security guard, Richard Jewell. It didn't make Jewell appear to be squeaky-clean, it was honest and didn't shy away from his not-so-great personality traits.
I felt it was fair to everyone involved. I'm still not a fan of the reporter in general, but I did feel bad for her in the end. Overall, it was a good book that gave the background and whole story of the event.

They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” but further to that, I think it takes a worthy cause to build a community. Libby Page’s debut novel “The Lido” is about the fight to save a local swimming pool that brings two women together in this common struggle, despite the sixty-year age difference between them. You can read my review of this book that is being called the “feel-good debut of the year” on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/08/11/diving-in-together/

I've missed you
Well in many ways this is more of the same as the first film. If anything maybe the scares are a bit better this time round and there is still plenty of humour between the group. My main problem was the pacing, quite slow throughout and it's around 30 minutes longer the first. It definitely didn't feel as intense as the first one. Still it's a well made film and nice to have a cameo from Stephen King.

Beautifully bittersweet

The first few chapters threw me. We're led through different times and it took me a while to adjust and understand....... totally worth it!
    Going alongside Emily in her journey of self discovery was definitely like being in a different world. It was quite immersive and so bittersweet and heartbreaking, yet it filled me with warmth. I won't go into any details about why it made me feel this, I want you to experience this for yourselves.

Each character had a good solid personality and the interactions between them were well written.
