I spent a long time thinking about what to write about this book. Let me start by describing it. This book is full of very short stories. Stories with no ending. As if they are a collection of chapters from different stories. Each story was a snippet of the intricacies of relationships, marriages (or break down of marriages) for the most part. I wasn't sure if I liked it. They seemed to have no end. It felt incomplete. But then one evening I found myself lying in bed, having just finished one of these snippets, wondering what would happen next with these characters that I found myself relating to and interacting with so quickly. Before I knew it I was creating their ending, be it happy and idealistic or completely magical and unrealistic. I think I may just go back and reread to make up some endings for the first few

What a fantastically heart-warming story!

Alana and Will have just married after their life is turned upside down and they are forced to grow up rather quickly. Will finds himself a job in Blidworth working as the forester for Lady Cecily. They are met with challenges as well as friends that become family a fantastically written book with lots of character.

I found this book enthralling from start to finish. A different side to Robin Hood and his crew but a fun story in the process. There were battles but nothing too harsh. I found as I read everything just flowed there was no getting confused as to who was doing what with whom and where. I could not put it down from start to finish I was interested in what the characters were doing on their journeys in life.

A lovely read highly recommended 5/5

I was so looking forward to this movie as black widow it one of my favourite superheroes, but I found it to be quite disappointing for a Marvel movie.



The film starts off great with a good backstory that tugs on your heartstrings.


Once the movie moved on from the backstory I found it to be very rushed and was a little confused as to what was going on.


I felt like three quarters of the film were just action scenes which yes are important in action movies, but it felt like too much of the movie was put into the action and not enough in the story which made it hard to get invest in the characters.


Overall the film was ok and enjoyable but I don’t plan to watch it again any time soon.

I'm not a Trekkie fan by any means but I have to say I'm suprised so many rate this so highly? I found it rather slow and boring and void of any real action whatsoever. The borg can just be walked past half the time, hardly an intimidating or a fearsome enemy. The latest Star Trek film going back to how the original crew got together is the best by far.
