Recommend Me

Looking for good books for my 10 year old daughter. She is reading on a young adult/adult level. I want her to feel challenged but dont want her reading content that is too mature for her age. She enjoys most genres. Open to all ideas!

I had, same issue with my son, most school library books at his reading level were blocked to him until recently. What about books by Frank Cottrell Boyce? He used to love those at that age.

Very interesting series to watch

Fabulous

Just watched the Steven Universe movie. I dont feel as it was a good as.the series. The story couldve been done in two or three episodes instead of being padded out with sooooo many songs.

Doesn't feel dragged out

Set up to continue story

Its a decent film for a Sunday afternoon watch

It's a decent film for a Sunday afternoon watch. Acting is good and whilst not a hugely in depth story has enough to keep you interested.

Book Favorite

"I’m always in the mood for a good mystery and Vanishing Falls not only delivers a great one, but a narrator with mysteries of her own—all set in the lush landscape of Tasmania (a place I’ve never visited but now feel as if I had)!"

Tracey Thorn recommended 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four in Books (curated)

"Honestly, I could choose anything by Orwell. I read him as a teen and loved him. That advice of his about good prose being like a window pane? I always have that in the back of my mind. It jibes with how I instinctively feel about writing. "

Book Favorite

"“Bud, Not Buddy” should be mandatory reading. The story of an orphan, determined to find his father, weaves in and out of an accurate illustration of life during the Great Depression. A feel-good tale that beautifully and painfully describes the determination of a young black boy."

True story

What started out as a feel good movie has turned into something entirely different. Some may remember the actual story, I do vaguely. Triplets separated at birth, adopted by different families and end up meeting at 19. The following story is so outrageous and hard to believe. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in. Still, a very good and intriguing movie. Not quite finished yet....

Great

It's a great movie with a great cast, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law etc brilliant acting and mostly very funny. It does change moods half way through which is where the films get a bit let down for me as an abundance of swearing then begins which I feel does spoil alot of what could be very funny moments.
