Leah (: (569 KP) rated If I Stay (If I Stay, #1) in Books
Aug 6, 2018
I am not normally a fan of books without a “proper” ending, however this book finishes in the perfect place.
It follows Mia after a terrible car accident when she then has to decide is she wants to stay. The book is written very well between what is happening now and previous events from Mia’s life.
This book will make you think about life and death and how you would cope with certain situations.
Very exciting, it would appear there is a sequel set a few years later.

David McK (3245 KP) rated This One's on Me (The Bandy Papers, #6) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
This is the 6th entry in Donald Jack's 'Bandy Papers', and is set during the 1920s rather than the Great War period of the earlier entries.
As this start, Bandy is down on his luck, travelling back to England from Canada after the events of [b:Me Too|897972|Me Too (The Bandy Papers, #5)|Donald Jack|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1179282725s/897972.jpg|883159]: a trip that sees him stop in Iceland on the way and meet the next great love-of-his-life.
Travelling on to England, he then saves the life of a downed pilot who later proves to be the son of the second richest man in the world, who hires him to create an airforce for his Indian state.
While this does have its comedic elements, I have to say that I've found these books to run out of steam somewhat the further we move away from the earlier entries: for my money, those set during the era of World War oNe (and slightly after) are actually more laugh-out-loud funny than these later entries.

Carmie (2 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Books
Oct 6, 2017
I was probably one of the last people in my generation to read this book! (just kidding lol) But I think I picked this series up a couple years back and devoured ever book like it was candy! I was super nervous that I wouldn't follow the ideas and characters and I was scared I would hate it and a whole generation would hate me for hating it! But I ended up falling in love with everything about this book! So glad I read it later in life because I think I appreciated the concepts more as an adult.

Old wolverine
This movie was good .i allways being a xmen fan since i was 10 loved it.i had wondered what would happen later in life and this is a good take on it.sad but drama wise a good adult movie .the realtionship between logan and professer x if you know xmen comics Patrick Stewart is good here and its not your a typical super hero movie they need more drama and feelings darker.beacuse thats something u get in the comics but rarely transfers into movies

Dana (24 KP) rated Neferet's Curse (House of Night Novellas, #3) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This delved into the interesting, yet tragic back story of Neferet from the House of Night. While we who have read the series know she is no saint, we can understand where that hatred inside her came from. I thought this novella was intriguing because it painted Neferet, formerly known as Emily, in a different light than what we have seen before. I also very much enjoyed the symbolism of the fountain and how that was a foreshadowing of what was to come later in her life. Great job on this novella!

Carma (21 KP) rated A Snowbound Scandal in Books
Jun 17, 2019
Chase Ferguson and Miriam Mimi Andrix knew each other 10 years ago. Very well as a matter of fact, but neither could survive in the others lifestyle. A Snowbound Scandal by Jessica Lemmon tells their story from 10 years later amid a possible mayoral scandal involving Chase and an old picture of activist Mimi.
Chase Ferguson is now Mayor in Dallas Texas. Miriam Mimi Andrix is from Bigfork Montana still an activist in her own right but more teacher than doer these days. They couldnt still be more on the opposite sides of life if they tried. 10 years ago Chase and Mimi started a love affair that lasted all summer, until their social standings and callings got in the way and Chase let Mimi go.
All Chase has wanted to do since that moment was get her back but he knew he couldnt bend her to fit into his life in Dallas, just as he couldnt fit into her life in Montana. He did keep tabs on her and bought the mansion they used to fantasize about living in together one day. He regretted that decision all these years later and when a scandal threatens to expose that relationship and use it for harm, he goes to Bigfork in hopes of making it right.
Mimi has received notice of the scandal threat too, and may have even Googled Chase to see what his life had become. Heading to the grocery store for Thanksgiving supplies she never expected to run into him in Bigfork. He gives her his private number and she later invites him to Thanksgiving dinner, which he declines. She then makes it her mission to give him a piece of her mind and set him straight about just exactly who she is.
Chase and Mimi go round and round about the past and who is responsible or not. An unexpected snowstorm traps Mimi at the Mansion for days and they find they are not quite as over each other as they would want the other to believe.
In the end, they both decide to go their separate ways again to live the lives they are currently living, separate from the other. But will they finally give love a chance to overcome the biggest obstacles in their lives?
