Eurotastic!!!!
Whether you love The Eurovision Song Contest or not, this is a great film.
There are lots of little extras and cameos, that only the song contest fans will get, but they are magical when they happen.
The comedic performances of Will Ferrell and Rachael McAdams are both fantastic and the story is farfetched, but magical.
This film is best enjoyed with a whimsical mind set, I mean, they don't take themselves too seriously, so you should not either.
Watch it now, thank me later.

Again, my complaint that Goodreads doesn't allow half-star ratings. Roomhate gets a 4.5/5 stars for me! I absolutely loved the story, from beginning to end. Who doesn't enjoy a relationship where love is forbidden and the sexual tension is thick enough to taste? The ending was beautiful - no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I wanted to immediately unread just so I could re-read it all over again and enjoy the pure sunshine it put into my soul. That's literally how happy the ending made me.
I'm not good with praise, because it all feels fake, but there's NO way I can NOT try to write a review! Too Late is certainly different by Colleen's standards, but I think it may be my favorite CoHo story yet. From the first page, I was hooked. The fact that I had to wait for chapters didn't stop me from becoming obsessed. I hate Asa, but as the Queen herself has said, I love to hate him. Sloan and Luke are just perfect together. Another masterpiece well done!

4.5 stars.
This certainly brought out my emotions. I was a hopeless wreck in that last 20% or so. Ugh... the things people do for love. Both characters grew on me so easily. They were both really likeable and then when they got together I was sighing with happiness for them. They were so cute together!
So far it's 2 out of 2 with this series. Let's see if I like Pick and Eva's story as much (though I'm pretty sure I will after those few scenes of them together in this one. So cute!)

The author has a way of writing sci-fi romances that makes me WANT to read them, especially considering sci-fi isn't one of my favourite genre's. She writes such compelling stories of characters that you grow to like and care about.
That aside the storylines are pretty interesting too. This one spanned 15 years, although it missed out the middle bit; we got the 17 and 19 year old ones and the 32 and 34 year old ones. Sweet, first love to hot, still first loves.
Another great story from the author.

Yeah, I really really liked this one, and even bought the last book in the trilogy before I finished it because I am that hooked on the story and in need of knowing how it's all going to end. I've found it very addictive and all my other books have gone on the backburner while I finish this series. If you haven't read it yet, you really should. Amazing!
I love all the Neph gang; Kaiden, Blake, Kopano, Marna...not too sure about Ginger yet, though.
Straight onto book 3!

I've never read anything by Bernard Cornwell, but I have heard good things about him.
This probably wasn't the best book of his to start with, I didn't read any reviews prior to starting this. Had I, I probably would have opted out.
The novel is centered around Shakespeare's younger brother, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Richard Shakespeare wasn't a really interesting character, and had an insta-love story, in the middle of the mystery of the stolen plays.
Overall, just meh. Maybe I'll attempt to read something else by Cornwell? Maybe not.
