Having read ÒMe Before YouÓ and cried, ÒAfter YouÓ and laughed, I was heavily anticipating how this third novel would make me feel. It follows our hapless heroine Louisa Clark to New York and a job assisting the uber-rich Gopniks. Lou is in a new city, with a new life but trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with her English boyfriend. Putting her lead character in all manner of new situations, Moyes shows the quirky, humorous side of Louisa balanced with her optimism and charm. The big question is, will Louisa Clark finally find happiness and live happily ever after? This is bound to be made into a movie, grab your tissues and read all three books first.
![Stitch London: 20 Kooky Ways to Knit the City and More [With Pigeon-Knitting Kit]](/static/img/default_space.jpg)
"kooky" is the perfect word
humorous designs with a London theme ... and yes I have made a few of them.
The Pigeon Knitting Kit is perfect. Short needles and all you need to make your 1st London companion ... patterns written with fun, and suggestions to adapt them.
Before this I admit that even tho I have been knitting for over 30 years I had never really caught the in-the-round bug, but this book changed that, and I also got the authors followup book Stitch New York
For a learner this book would be a great addition after learning the basic skills. As with most knitting books there are instructions on how to knit. A fun addition to any crafters bookshelves.

My Thoughts: This is a truly entertaining novel. It's genuinely fun and engaging. The author has done a marvelous job of bringing the past and future together to make a charming and humorous storyline. The characters are well developed and easy to relate to. Claire is a down to earth young woman trying to make a living writing historical novels; just an average girl whose life is changed forever one night when she puts on her grandmother's shawl. This novel was hard to put down, the plot is fast-paced and keeps the reader entertained.
A historical novel is full of humor and suspense with many twists in the plot that will keep the reader wondering what will happen next. A truly enjoyable read and highly recommended.

I can not state enough that you must harbor expectations for films appropriately. If you go to see a comedy with Rebel Wilson in it, there should be a certain type of film you should expect. This movie fulfills that expectation.
Anne Hathaway performs well in a humorous role for her while feeding off of the hilarious Wilson. The name of the game is Con and the mission is bigger is better.
I don't want to give too much away as there are a few turns (believe it or not) that might catch you off guard. Give it a go if you're looking for a giggle or even if you want to have a movie going in the background while you're doing something else.

An unusual period piece
This is a very unusual film and for the most part very good. Period dramas aren’t usually my thing, but The Favourite isn’t your average period drama. It’s a very subtle tongue in cheek, witty, humorous and sometimes bizarre tale that’s very clever and entertaining to watch. Whilst Olivia Colman May have won the Oscar, I think all 3 of the female leads in this are very strong and a delight to watch, especially when their characters are all together in the same scenes. Indeed the scenes with Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz sniping at each other are by far the best to watch. Even the rest of the supporting cast too are very good, although I do think Mark Gatiss was a little underused. Nobody does posh upper class toff like he does!
The film itself looks beautiful. The costume and set design, and music, are fantastic, and the whole thing looks stunning. I did however have a slight issue with the cinematography. I found some of the strange camera angles a little frustrating and irritating after a while, especially as some of them don’t really seem to fit in with the style and tone of the rest of the film. I also think the final act and especially the final scene were a bit of a letdown. Most of the film has a rather humorous or at least light hearted undertone, but the final act takes it a little too seriously and the final scene is just too ill fitting too. Despite this, it’s a very different period drama and definitely worth a watch for some stellar performances.

Hilarious
Humorous And Absolutely Wonderful
This is not for the faint of heart, this dark humor takes everything to a whole new level, I have never seen something that I've taken to so quickly and loved so much. The humor is darker than dark and hilarious all the same. If you dont take to it from the very first episode then maybe it's not the show for you and maybe we can't be friends. This show holds no boundaries or limits on the lengths they will take to make you laugh. It's absolutely beautiful and you will never find another show like it. Highly recommended to anyone who can appreciate the very real and dark humor this show has to offer.

Jul 1, 2018 (Updated Jul 1, 2018)
I was psyched when the local indie theater added this film to their lineup this weekend, because I'd been wanting to see this since Sundance. I also love anything with Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska.
The damsels in the film are contrary to what you would ordinarily think, which was humorous. It was billed as a western-comedy, and normally, I'm all for off-kilter humor, but I didn't find it funny, it was more awkward. I think the only reason I was entertained was because of Pattinson and Wasikowska's characters, other than that, the story seemed to move at a snail's pace. The nearly two hour run time wasn't really necessary.
Overall, I wanted to like it more than I did. I'm only rating it an 8 for the actors.
