Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated All The Time - Single by Zara Larsson in Music
Jun 25, 2019
Mia Ferrari is a London-based singer-songwriter and Instagram star from Portugal. Not too long ago, she released a lovely electro-pop tune, entitled, “Where U From”.
“Baby tell me where ya from. Can’t tell from ya accent. Bite my lips, tasting ya tongue. Still, don’t know what ya meant. Tryna translate when you text. Hope I don’t regret it. Got so much I wanna say. Not sure if you’ll get it.” – lyrics
Every time Mia meets someone, it doesn’t take too long for that someone to ask her, “Where you from? Because I can’t tell from your accent.”
Her “Where U From” single tells an interesting tale of a young woman who shares a special relationship with a foreign guy whose whispers melts her heart.
Apparently, even though his spelling is okay, he communicates better with his tongue, and his hands talk dirty.
In need of a trip, she finds out where he’s from on the map because she plans on vacationing there soon. Later that night, the guy takes her one thousand miles away, around the world, and now she sees where he comes from.
‘Where U From’ contains a dreamy storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and dance-friendly instrumentation flavored with an electro-pop aroma.
“Regardless of language, feelings emerge and we can only try our best to show them. ‘Where U From’ reflects thoughts and feelings during that time. Also, the choice of transitioning from talking within a language to talking with the body, hoping not to get lost in translation.” – Mia Ferrari

Different worlds, dragons, elves, evil yet misguided women - what more could you ask for?
Now, this is the first 'full' book in the Kingdom of Chalvaren series, although there is the novella in which our two main characters meet. What made this book interesting for me is that they were already 'together' right at the start. So although I knew that things had moved quickly in the prequel, it actually made for fantastic reading as the two of them got to know each other and explored their feelings for each other. Trust me when I say those feelings run hot! Their relationship has the normal ups, downs and misunderstandings that occur when two people are trying to live together and that made for excellent reading. Throw in a world in chaos, with a crazy woman trying to resurrect the dead along with killing the dragons, you have an action-packed world, full of character and heart.
With a smooth, steady pace and excitement on every page, this is a wonderful Fantasy Action Romance. I know that there are two books in this series but I am really hoping for more. I loved the world of Chalvaren and hope to see more of it, and the dragons, in the future. Highly recommended for all fans of Fantasy!

A book to help if you are struggling
A friend of mine going through a hard time recommended this book. I'm not usually one for reading non-fiction books but as my friend found it useful and I wanted to help her, I decided to read it. It's not a difficult read (although it's an emotional read) nor a long read. It tells Matt's own tale of wanting to die and how he moved on from that. Knowing how my friend was struggling (and found it difficult to communicate her feelings), I found this emotional,reading how someone could feel so low, could contemplate ending their life. It opened my eyes to how my friend might be feeling and helped me communicate with her.

I really dont know what to say about this book to be honest! I thought I was going to be reading a good thriller but instead, it turned out to be an in-depth exploration of grief and guilt with a bit of thriller thrown in.
The story was interesting but could have been so much more than that; I felt there was way too much emphasis on the feelings of the main characters, which got boring quite quickly, and not enough development of the crime/thriller aspect of the story. The first third of the story was good, the second third was boring and the last third was when the tension developed but this was over very quickly.

Strange Feelings
Contains spoilers, click to show
Both of the protagonists were hard to like in different ways. Both smug, but one bitter and the other spoiled but grieving. If you've read, you'll know who is which. The focus on the story seemed in the wrong places and paced with annoying repetition. I would have loved to have more about the boys' childhoods. Dova's mother and her background were far more interesting to me. I expected a climax, but instead got blue balls. One human being judging another, from nothing but a sparse childhood presence and his current state to go on. I liked the suggestion that they had a boyish crush on each other. The end was oddly fantastic.

Simple, relatable, beautiful.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut Is truly a spectacular one. Lady Bird is a masterpiece of simplicity. The simply story of a typical teenage girl trying to find who she is and what she wants. The love-hate relationship of Christine and her mother showcasing their struggle to demonstrate of perhaps understand their feelings added a much welcome layer of interesting plot on top of the typical struggles of an awkward high schooler.
If anything, I believe you can learn a few things from this film about forming and maintaining relationships with your parents or child(ren) in hope that when your time with them comes to a close you’ll have no regrets.

Bad dog!
Cujo taps into a lot of those primal feelings with animals and relationships. Stephen King takes this St Bernard and turns it into a killer but he also makes you understand why the dog is acting the way that it is acting. You get to view the world through the lens of the dog's eyes and the through the dog's thoughts as well.
On the other side of the coin is the family that used to the own the dog and of course the Trentons. Both family are sucked into the horror and neither come out the same. This is a classic work of Stephen King's but it is tough to swallow if you are not ready for it.

Nothing like I expected from the very beginning. I got this book because a search had said it was a "fluff book". There was no way this was a fluff book, but I'm totally not mad about it.
The hardships from the very beginning of Eleanor, the differences between her and Park and the way that their relationship blossomed and changed her outlook and behaviour and feelings was a joy to read.
It was upsetting, it was a struggle, it was great, it was beautiful, it was sweet, it was all the emotions. It was upsetting...did I say that already. Ugh, but boy did I love it. So good, first book from this author, I'll definitely have to read more.
