So true
Sequel to why mummy swears. It's like the author has been into my house and wrote the book on my family. Not that I swear that much. I found it really easy to get into and it was hard to put down, I just kept thinking 1 more chapter.

Oh man #BlackMirror - '#StrikingVipers' besides some hand holding at the start is pretty much flawless. Relevant, shocking, bleak, thought provoking, intelligent and well directed with a beautiful score and great performances. Possibly my favourite episode bar 'The Entire History Of You' which was pure perfection (mainly because I found it the most relatable and scarily hit a bit to close to home for me personally).

While there are many complaints of the handling of the Jedi path, I found this volume in the STAR WARS saga to be extremely fun, full of the hope the original trilogy inspired, and a lovely way to introduce more characters to root for.

Betsy is trying to get her life back in order and visits her sister. Then her sister is killed. What happened? I'm not a needlework guy, and I'm sure that was part of my problem with this book. But mostly, I found the pacing pretty uneven.

When Aimee Leduc takes a decoded picture to a client in the Jewish quarter of Paris, she finds the woman dead and things quickly unravel from there. Honestly, I found the book too busy, which left not enough time to wrap everything up in the end.

One of the stars from the TV show Babylon 5 talks about her life and overcoming alcoholism. While I would have loved more about Babylon 5 since it's my favorite TV show, I still found the book fascinating and had a hard time putting it down.

Josie's new antique auction house in New Hampshire is beginning to take off, but then a potential wealthy client is found murdered and Josie is a suspect. The plot and characters were good, but the ending was weaker than it should have been.

First, Brad and Ashleigh's home is robbed and an antique teddy bear stolen. Then the local museum curator is found murdered. What's going on in their small Virginia town? Another winner in this series. The plot moves along well and the characters kept me laughing.

Probably the best film of its type. I have seen a few films that were based around avoiding a huge Croc in perilous circumstances. Some had really bad effects like Crocodile, or just plain cheesey like Lake Placid 2, Blood Surf. This was more like another film called Black water. I found this more interesting though and the Crocodile looks more believable. Worth checking out.

Read this back in 8th or 9th grade and loved it, but now found that I couldn't really remember much of anything about it, which seemed like a good time to give it a re-read. And the 2nd time around I loved it at least as much as the 1st. This beautifully written tale has easily reaffirmed its position as my favorite book.
