Great nostalgia
I can't describe how happy I was reading this book, I simply couldn't put it down. I loved the 80's nostalgia, the gamer in me couldn't get enough of it and the story itself was hugely entertaining.
I just hope Spielberg does a decent job of the film! The trailer looks promising...

[The Last Orphans] by [N.W. Harris] was a quick read in my favorite genre of post-apocalyptic novels. The way people survive always gives me hope for society. When all the adults die is sudden and horrible ways Tyler finds himself taking care of the survivors. Can he save them before it is too late.

By far the best book in this series! I'll admit, I was hooked from the first few chapters of the first book. This was a totally appropriate finale for this series...or is it really the end? Hmmm...
I sure hope there are more adventures awaiting Ganesh, Blue, Adam, Ronan, & Henry. Amazing characters. Wonderful story.

This coming of age story is set in a small town in Maine. There is some mystery but mostly it is the story of a young girl dealing with tragedy, heartbreak, and growing up. I fell in love with Florine and hope that the rest of her life goes smoother than her first 17 years!

A good film with some great special effects and a great cast. Maybe a bit more child orientated than some others films of this type that have come out recently. Similar to The Chronicles of Narnia. If you like a good fantasy film you'll enjoy this, just hope the next part is a bit better.

Tahereh Mafi has an incredible gift. Her writing is beautiful in a way that isn't seen much these days. This companion to Furthermore is another glorious fairytale that I couldn't get enough of. I truly hope she continues this captivating series.

**Thanks to edelweiss and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.**
  
I just finished the Weekend Warriors by Fern Michael's. This was first of the sister hood series. The book was great, my husband listened to it with me. He also enjoyed the book. I went and got the second book "Payback" and the third book "Vendetta" I hope these are as good as the first.

From the BBC's website: Comedian Tez Ilyas presents a joyous celebration of British-Muslim life and a subversive, thoughtful satire on society's attitudes to Islam.

Tez Ilyas is relatively new to stand up comedy - and is absolutely hilarious. I love TEZ talks and really hope there is a 4th series.
