A good detective mystery.
The Cuckoo's Calling is a great first book in the Cormoran Strike series. I greatly enjoyed the mystery and putting together the clues. The book was a little long winded and dragged in areas with quite a few red herrings. However, book and it's mystery are good enough to keep you hooked throught the parts that drag. This book is definately for those who love a good detective mystery, but not so much for those who like thrillers. I personally will be reading the following books in the series based on this debute.

Fun (yet muddled) film with a good message.
Like its obvious cousin I Feel Pretty, Isn't It Romantic has a message to give its audience. From the opening scene, you know what that message is and where this story is going. And that's the point. While some of the jokes don't quite land and the movie seems to run just a bit longer in spots than necessary, Rebel Wilson does her usual comedic best to carry the film. A final twist plainly smacks the viewer with the moral of the film and finally concludes predictably. While muddled in spots, love the message of the film and had some fun.

Thank you so much!

Nice heart warming story
Romantic comedies are not my usual read but I felt like a change. And I'm very glad I gave it a try, it was a very easy read as it was full of good scene setting description character build ups and an interesting back story too. Well worth the read, even if you're not a romcom reader.

The story is about Katy who is a wedding photographer with her own business who was left struggling after a family betrayal. Katy learns to trust and eventually love again. There are ups and downs that keep you glued to the book from beginning to end!
  
Love. I'm hosting a book giveaway on my blog, so check it out. Here is the first paragraph of my review: Happiness, when you have a chronic illness it seems like an impossible defeat. Although Lee’s book is not geared towards those of us who have chronic illness. I still learned a great many things. Even her suggestions were helpful, at least for me they were. They reminded me of some key things in my life that I would do to thank Jesus for things, to express my happiness to those around me, and even to be content in who I am in Jesus.

Book Favorite

"I was fifteen when I began to read Federico Garcia Lorca. His poems perhaps have had the greatest influence on my texts. He summoned up a world where I felt at home. His images were sensual and mysterious: ‘throw a fist full of ants to the sun.’ I wanted to be able to write something like that as well. A few years ago I wrote a musical adaptation of Lorca’s ‘Little Viennese Waltz.’ Then I noticed what a complex writer he was: it took me more than a hundred hours just to translate the poem. Lorca is one of those rare poets with whom you can stay in love for life."

Spine chilling horror
Contains spoilers, click to show
I finished the audiobook a short while ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Set in the town of Jerusalem's Lot, the townsfolk are plagued by mysterious deaths that gradually increase in number. A vampire named Barlow is slowly turning citizens into creatures like himself, particularly creepy when it is a child.
The chills you get when reading the scene where Danny Glick scratches the window at Mark's window, is immense.
I love how King slowly moves through the town, setting up little character's lives and deaths, until almost the whole town has succumbed without anyone even realising.
I have great respect for Mark, what an awesome kid.

My Favorite Movie of All Time
This is my favorite movie of all time. It is my number 1 movie of all time. I love this movie. Its my number 1 best movies of all time. Its number 1 of my top ten best movies of all time.

The Dark Knight- to me is perfect, it is excellent, epic and tops batman begins. This to me is the best sqeuel of all time. It does so much within 2hrs and 45mins, that you have to watch it again because it was that great.

The Plot, the suspense, the darkness, the acting, the performaces, the lines, every last detail is great.

You have lines like:
"Ya wanna know how I got these scars?"
"Why so Serious?"
"Let's put a smile on that face!".
"Some men just want to watch the world burn."
"What doesn't kill you makes you stranger."
"Its simple, we kill the Batman."
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain".

So many great and memorable lines.

Two Words- Heath Ledger- he make his joker his own. He was so excellent and great as the joker. I even have a poster of his joker, thats how much i love this film. Heath Ledger will go down as to me the best joker of all time. He will be missed.

The Plot: With the help of allies Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and DA Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman (Christian Bale) has been able to keep a tight lid on crime in Gotham City. But when a vile young criminal calling himself the Joker (Heath Ledger) suddenly throws the town into chaos, the caped Crusader begins to tread a fine line between heroism and vigilantism.

I can go on and on, on how much i love this film. If you havent seen it, than go watch it. I highly reccordmend watching this movie.
