I found this book at a used bookstore. I have read Wrede before and it was fun reading something from her earlier works and seen how much she had grown as an author.
This book was written at a time when female characters were not normally a lead, so there is a few stumbles as she establishes her world and where everything is going. It can be a bit predictable and underwhelming at places. but all in all an easy read that shows potential and fun take on the epic genre.

Hmmm....
This was not the book for me unfortunately. I found the main character Flavia very unbelievable. She was wise beyond her years and seemed to flirt with older men at the age of 12. I felt like this tried to mirror some of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing but just really missed the mark (for me). The plot was quite obvious aswell. Surprised that it has some considerable accolades.

(Sorry, I hate leaving bad reviews)

If you are wanting a game to test your knowledge of different logos, this is not the game for you. This a trivia game that goes well into slogans, numbers, history, and so much more. We had a lot of fun playing it, however the kids found it much harder to play as they don't recognize a lot of the older brands. While this is labeled for ages 12 and up, adults will find it easier to answer several of the trivia questions, while the younger crowd struggles to make it thru a card.

This is a classic who dun it type of book, I loved the different perspectives. This was a slow book to read which you will have to have in mind, I must admit while reading this I did want it get going , which it eventually did at the end but if you love slow burn books this is definitely a book for you , dont think slow burn books is my kinda thing

Have been laid up with a bad back for over a month. Been prety much confined to either bed or the couch for that time and the only consolation has been the time that I've had to watch films and I have watched well over 70!

It's times like this that I'm glad that my hobby is film and TV and not something more sporty!

Catching up on the classics on my to watch list as well as some more recent fair. Found some real gems and some surprising duds. By that show business... ;)
