Feb 15, 2018 (Updated Apr 9, 2019)
This is a story about a British soldier and an Indian woman. We learn a bit of history while during the book. I enjoyed how life was after Fort William went down.
It about a forgiving of what happen to an Indian woman who has twins and one is taken. One twin is white while the other is brown. So a soldier takes the white baby. He seems to not want to upset his wife and tell her baby had died.
Anna makes a friendship with Two hawks when her brother goes to college in Wales. What will happen to Anna when she finds out the truth about her. What will happen when her brother William finds out. What will happen when William finds out.

If you've never seen this movie, do it now
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is one of my favorite Disney movies and I still remember watching it in the theater when I was 7 or 8 years old. I cried then and cry every time I watch it. Tod is a fox who was orphaned and raised by Widow Tweed. Amos Slade is Widow Tweed's neighbor and owner of Copper, a hound dog. Tod and Copper meet up and become fast friends, unaware that they are meant to be enemies. There is great music, a great story and a wonderful message about friendship. Best of all, it doesn't focus on beautiful princesses looking for a hero.

Old Vs. New
I have seen both the original It and the newer remake and I have to say that both are very good movies. They do have their differences, of course, but I try not to compare them too much because I enjoy both of them. If you enjoy Stephen King then you will definitely enjoy It. It displays telltale Stephen King horror that we all know and love. The horror aspect, while obviously a dominant feature, does not completely take away from the underlying friendship within the movie. These kids from Derry band together to face It and develop a profound bond and connection that brings them together again years later. Overall, a really good movie and a just portrayal of a Stephen King classic.

Received an ARC from penguin's first to read program. I was super excited to read this book, and while it was quite good it wasn't what I was expecting. the word that comes to mind is melancholy. I spent the majority of the book wondering why Cecelia was so obsessed with joan, it went much deeper than simply friendship, and it's something I still don't quite understand...it was almost creepy. I also would have liked to have had a few chapters from joans perspective, I felt it would have given a bit more development to the characters and i was curious about her opinion of Cecelia and her constant hovering and neediness. overall it was an enjoyable read, very well written and deeper than I expected.
Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated A Dangerous Age in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I LOVED this book! My favorite aspects of women's fiction are all here: NYC, fashion, friendship, art, glitz and glamour, food, humor...all combined with a bit of a mystery and a writing style that brings you right in and doesn't let you go. I didn't want this book to end. I was honestly quite surprised at how well written it was, I was expecting fluff considering the author is a former Real Housewife of New York but there were several times this book forced some deep thinking and had me pondering on love vs desire and choices we make. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. Highly recommended! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC
MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated No Small Parts (Bluewater Bay, #16) in Books
Oct 1, 2018
MoMo’s Book Diary’s recommends Ally Blue’s No Small Parts as 3 star read.
This is book sixteen in the Bluewater Bay series but the first I have read. Whilst it was an enjoyable read I do not have the burning desire to rush out and read the rest of the series.
No Small Parts is a quick read and a bit predictable – or have I just read too many romances and not enough crime lately? The writing was engaging with relatable characters who are interesting and very well described by the author. I enjoyed the story of friendship and romance between the two male characters.
Thanks to NetGalley and Riptide Publishing for the opportunity to review this book prior to publication.

Heartwarming... but kind of pointless
Of course always love seeing screen legends together again; however, they really didn't have much to do in this film.
When an aging woman decides to spice up her life by asking her neighborhood infamous fellow senior to come spend the night at her house, they become the talk of the small town. Both reveal intimate details of their lives to each other as their friendship grows. Soon, her grandson comes to live with her and the three of them enjoy each other's company.
I was never bored while watching this film, but afterwards I kind of felt it was missing a point. If you enjoy slice of life films you will love this one.

A master storyteller
Janice Galloway knows how to tell a story and this one (memoir) delivers like a skelp on the heid when you wurnie expectin it. A follow up to This is Not About Me,' (which I loved) , this book didn't disappoint. From starting high school to discovering a love for music and Latin, all while avoiding her rocket of a sister, Janice Galloway doesn't skip a beat. From boys, love, friendship, sex and learning how to live in this world, you'll find it all. Honest, cringeworthy, sad and funny and all written ever so poetically, All Made Up delivers.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
STABBED IN THE HEART
AND YOU'RE TO BLAME
YOU GIVE CHRISTMAS A BAD NAME
Thank you, i just had to get that out of my system!
This is a really fun, easy read with likable characters.
The villain pretty much jumped out at me but i didn't feel condescended to so that's always lovely!
I really like Jules' friendship with Christmas-Hating Lance.
She's so determined to have him enjoy the holiday that she invites him to a fancy dinner where an awful woman is stabbed.
Things move at a pretty brisk pace from there and the ending is a Christmas treat!

Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Ted the Friendly Frog and the Race at Golden Lake in Books
Dec 19, 2019
Ted is getting ready for the big race at the Golden Lake. He seems hungry and follows a fly. As does he get lost in the woods. Though he meets new friends in the woods. They all help him get back in time for the race.
There a decision he got to make when he in second place. Should he help his friend that in trouble or should he win? This is where the important lesson comes in Helping a friend in need or winging the race?
The author does this with the book along with the rhyming of words. Children will learn to read with this book as well. Learn about friendship as well. Learning about helping a friend rather than wining.
