TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated The Duke's Refuge (The Leeward Islands, #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
Lorri Dudley crafted a great story about forgiveness, love and finding yourself amidst adversary. I enjoyed reading about the characters in this book, they had some good strengths and weaknesses. Both of the main characters were well developed and grew throughout the story. Honestly, at first, I was not sure if I particularly liked Georgia as she seemed to be a weak character, however, by the end of the book she turned out to be pretty good. I also liked Harrison, he was sure of himself and a strong character right from the get-go, a great dad and someone who wasn’t afraid to have a little fun.
I liked the setting of this story as well. Lorri Dudley’s descriptions of island life, the people, animals, and climate made for a vivid backdrop to this story. She described it in such a way that you could almost taste the salty are or hear the thunder roll. I think it would have quite a change for someone coming from England to the small island of Nevis. It made me want to visit

Shadow Lands (The Warrior Chronicles 3)
By K.F. Breene
⭐️⭐️⭐️
In order to finally claim her title of Chosen and lead the Shadow People out of the Land of Mist, Shanti must make it through a century's old system to test her battle awareness, her fighting skill, and her ability to stay alive. She's about to enter The Trials, and she must do it alone.
Separated from Shanti on a dangerous island, Cayan must learn to use his mental skill while keeping his men safe from the people set out to kill them. But as more Inkna and Graygual flood the island, Cayan hears of a sinister force deep in the woods, rigging The Trials and killing any who venture too close.
It is now a race against time. The battle to become the Chosen has begun, and the victor is anything but decided.
Out of the 3 so far this one is the better of them. It had more story and the characters less annoying. I actually found myself liking it.

The Muppets.
Kermit the Frog
Miss Piggy
Animal
Rowlf
Gonzo.
I remember. as a kid, watching 'The Muppet Babies' and even the likes of 'The Muppets Christmas Carol' or 'The Muppets Treasure Island', but I never actually saw the original tv show.
The Muppets Tonight (late 90s, I believe), yes.
The original show?
Slightly before my time.
Anyway, this - unlike Treasure Island or Christmas Carol - is an original plot, following Jason Segal character of Gary and his (muppet) brother Walter, as they travel - alongside Gary's long-term girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) on their 10th anniversary - to L.A., home of the Muppets, and uncover a conspiracy to purchase and knockdown the old Muppet Theatre so a rich businessman can get to the oil underneath.
Only thing stopping it?
A new Muppet telethon, if Kermit can get the gang back together and raise the funds before midnight.
So a fairly formulaic plot, but that's really not why anyone would be watching this: more for the family-friendly good times, and the odd breaking of the 4th wall.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
So it was another midnight screening over at my local Cineworld last night, or should that be this morning, for the showing of Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, a movie that I’ve been dying to see, not for the dinosaurs, but for the return of Jeff Goldblum to the franchise.
It’s been three years since the incident at Jurassic World back in 2015 and now the dinosaurs and the island are threatened by extinction from the volcano that is about to wipe everything out, but the dilemma is, do you save the dinosaurs or do you let them die!
Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) wants to save the creature and luck would just so have it that Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), who is the old partner of Hammond (Richard Attenborough), wants to save them as well, bringing them to an island sanctuary to stop them from being wiped out of existence for the second time. But as with any well-laid plans, things are bound to take a turn for the worse.
