Book Tour: Busy, Busy! This was a sweet book. It great for young children. Parents could use this book for though that are expecting another little baby. It is to reassure your child that Mommy will have time for that child.It shows how it though animals and then mommy. It to show that they have time and love for the child. The pictures are down  well. I loved it for it was good for beginner readers as well.  It simple for children to learn from as well.

I went into this book with high expectations from all the hype and the synopsis sounded awesome. I didn’t love it but I also didn’t hate it. It was a bit slow getting into it and some parts got a little confusing throughout the book but it also had a good chunk of parts that had me not wanting to put the book down just because I wanted to see how certain parts played out. It is not a book I will likely read again but now I have read it.

This was my first historical fiction story. I wasn't planning on reading it at first because I knew historical fiction wasn't my thing but I just kept hearing how great it was and how it kept bringing so many people to tears and that even if you don't like historical fiction you will love this book! So I decided to give it a try and I LOVED it. I think it should be required that everyone read this book, that's how good it was! This was the book that got me into historical fiction.

Megatokyo is by far my favorite webcomic. I cannot tell you how many times it has made me cry after spending about 5 minutes laughing my head off because it is that funny. Although you can read it on line for free, it is better to read it in book form if you can find it because it flows more easily that way. In my opinion this is probably the volume where the story starts getting really good, and the writer's art style has improved from the first book.

Some casting choices
When it was released that there would be a Beverly Hills 90210 reboot, most fans thought it would be a sort of continuation of the old show. Instead, it is a mockumentary of a reboot. While it is a bit odd, I don't totally hate it. I am however not thrilled with some of the casting of the fake family. It would have been more believable, or at least less distracting, if the spouses were unknown actors. It would feel a bit less cheesy in my opinion.

Couldn't put it down!!
This book had mixed reviews from the book club I'm a member of, I wasn't really expecting to enjoy it but thought I'd give it a go.
I was pleasantly surprised, I barely put it down and finished it in two days.
It follows the Character of Lale, how he tries to keep his family safe, how he survives the camps and how he is separated from the girl he loves. I found the characters likeable and it was an easy read.

I had this on my list for quite a while it seems like and it was a surprise how much I liked and enjoyed it.

My negative take from it was during the ending with some of the relationship scenes etc between the MC, Brianna and one of the fallen Lords.

The romance/relationship was a little too blah for me - not sure how to describe it. It just rubbed me the wrong way, but other than that, I loved it especially all the plot twists and everything.

I watched this on a whim last night. I fully expected it to have a B movie vibe to it, despite Bill Skarsgaard being in it.
But you know what I was really pleasantly surprised. The acting was top notch and the story line kept me interested all the way through.
It had laugh out loud moments to it, and although it didn't have and big scares it definitely pokes fun at the genre.
A really good indie movie that's worth a watch if your wanting something a bit different.

"Clash of the Titans raised me, to the point where I probably watched it in my old apartment 35 times. It was a constant. It was so advanced for its time. Harry Hamlin was in it; he went on to be in L.A. Law with Blair Underwood. And the Kraken… It was so good! I could watch it over and over. I think they tried to remake it, right? With Sam Worthington? The original Clash of the Titans, though, is just… I could watch that all the time."

"The next one would be Star Trek IV, because it was the best Star Trek, and because I was in it. [laughs] Does it count as a plug if it was made a million years ago? I mean, it was the best Star Trek, so there you go. And it was about saving whales, which I would agree with, and it was the first time that they really let the characters get kind of funny and more relaxed, and I think that was a really good direction for them to go."
