Maxon
In America we trust
I truly love this series if you like YA dystopian Story's then this book is for you.


America Singer is a truly lovable protagonist who follows her heart and whilst this is not always the wisest of choices it does make a great story. America is a strong female who is a great inspiration for young girls to look up to.

Prince Maxon is also a great charcter although prince to Ilyria Maxon life isn't all glitz and glamour choosing between 30 strangers isnt as easy as the world thinks it is. he has pressure of war closing in on him at all sides his Dad wants him to go another direction and not all of the girls are what they seem.

Great but lacks subtlety
Another one I've picked up from various bookstagrams and actually I think this one nearly lives up to the hype. The story is good and I really want to learn more about Erilea, I have already started the second book to carry on the story.

Celeana is a good character and so great to have such a kick ass female protagonist. I think some of her back story needs to be uncovered and quickly, its quite frustrating that this hasn't been explored already. I also find she sometimes goes through emotions very quickly.

I love the dynamics between characters, although I find some of the writing very obvious (perhaps due to YA genre).

I didn't see some of the events coming and I am really excited for the next book.

The Magic of You (Malory-Anderson Family, #4)

I really wanted to love this book. I really did. As a Malory novel, I was so sure that it would be just as amazing as the others I have read. In fact, when my grandmother gave it to me, I couldn’t wait to read it and bypassed a pile of books I had lined up to read.

Disappointment always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

While the novel still held Lindsey’s easy straightforward style, lovable characters, and hilarious dialogue, it lacks the magic that I experienced with the others. I think this is because the lead female protagonist, Amy, annoyed me beyond reason. I don’t think I have ever read a novel where the lead female was so obnoxious that I almost threw the book.

I give Amy props for being determined, but it reaches a certain point where I just believed her pathetic, to be honest. If she annoyed the hell out of me, I can’t imagine how Warren felt. It annoys me just as much that apparently sex can make people fall in love. Sorry romance novels, it doesn’t work that way.

However, I found myself laughing with this novel more than I did the others.

Nice casino theme.
Great transition to a new type of James Bond.

Bad antagonist background.
Awesome Story, Awesome Lead Actor, Not So Awesome Female Companion.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I really looked forward to seeing this movie, and I really was satisfied. This movie had a great antagonist a great protagonist and a wonderful story to wrap it up in. My only problem was that Vesper was weak, and didn't add much to the story like some of Bond's other companions. Also the main enemy had no explanation to what HE really wanted to do. Like was he trying to make money? Or was he just being a jerk? The last thing is that this usually the transition with a new actor is rocky but Craig did amazing and that's one of the things I liked about the movie. I would definitely recommend it to other who like action movies.

A heady irreverent drama-dy fit for older millennials.
One of my favorite genres! I love messing with time-lines and time-loops. This show doesn't fall into the easy writing errors that many make with this genre. They don't spend time with exposition figuring out the "Why" of the plot. Instead, they just deal with the issues presented to them. They don't spend time messing with issues that can cause big continuity errors. They instead just use the plot to tell the story. The story was well thought out and beautifully told. It is a story essential for millenials struggling with identity, how we are shaped by others, and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to those around us. Bravo! 9/10 would watch again.
