"Just keep swimming … just keep swimming …"

Set after Finding Nemo, this see's Ellen DeGeneres Blue Tang - the undisputed start (for me, at least, of that earlier movie) in her own headline movie, when - due to events - she suddenly remembers her family and sets off on a quest to reunite with the same.

As always with Pixar, impeccably animated with a strong message about the importance of family (even 'found' family), this - perhaps - suffers somewhat in comparison with Finding Nemo in that we've been there, done that.

That, and the fact that the Human world (seemingly, or at least, that's it how it felt to me!) plays a larger role than in the previous.

Gotta love Dory's friend Sigourney Weaver, though!

It was really easy to get into. Didn't want to put it down (0 more)
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.

This was a quick, fun read. Deacon Whitney, heir to what remains of the Whitney fortune, assembles a group of people to help him revamp his family's ancestral home, located on its own island off the New England coast. His family has been plagued by bad luck and financial misfortune through the years, but Deacon is a successful software engineer and has the funds available to redo the old family home. Joined by a cousin who wants to find out who really killed their great-great grandmother years ago and hopes to break the family curse, an old friend, a landscaper, and an organizational expert, Deacon and his new found friends encounter ghostly presences and jealous ex-business partners. There are some spooky moments, some humor, and plenty of romance along the way.

The Branning Family has found themselves stuck in the suburbs with no modern convinces. The entire world has been hit, and nothing electric works. But even worse, there's a killer in their neighborhood. This Christian novel grabbed me, and I loved it. Unfortunately, the characters were a bit shallow.
