When I read the description of this book I was really excited to read it. But what I noticed that the book description provided, actually gives away all book, no mystery left. This is a short light love story which would be great as a movie script for Hallmark Channel. Unfortunately it did not impress me. The characters in the book were quite weak and not very interesting. I thought this book supposed to be festive, but all festivity was wrapped up into one chapter, last chapter to be accurate. It would’ve been good if some twists and drama would’ve been involved. I think it was quite corny and not very original story. To conclude, it is a good book if you into something to pass your time with a little bit of fun and romance.

Woody's Story
Contains spoilers, click to show
I love the Toy Story franchise and don't get me wrong, I loved this movie but I don't believe that it fit in with the rest of them.
As a stand along film, this would be incredible but as a sequel to the other three, it somewhat lacked.
The movie sadly shows little of the other toys (being a Rex fan, I was disappointed) and mainly revolves around Woody and partly Forky. It also shows very little of Andy, I get that he's grown up and no longer requires them but it would have been much better to see Andy give Bonnie the toys.
All being said, I did enjoy the movie and even got emotional at the end... I just think it would have been better as a stand alone movie rather than part of the franchise.

Aug 3, 2020
Amazing story about an owner of the hotel and his many adventures, poured through time as the story gets told by many characters through the years.
Very interesting storytelling, something I haven't encountered before, but loved it. If you know any movies that follow the same concept, I would love your suggestions.
We enter the life of a hotel management, a hotel that has a life of its own. We follow the owner and the lobby boy, as they try to solve a mystery regarding a rich and powerful woman, that gets murdered but has an interesting will.
These people embark on an adventure for truth, in times where everything seems to be against them.
I loved the cameos from so many popular actors, and also loved the dry humour. A very beautiful, intriguing and unique movie.

Ice Hockey & Romance
Kindle recommended Whiskey’s work after I had devoured my way through Helena Hunting’s books on the same theme... Ice Hockey and Romance, and I was not disappointed.
Bailey and Gage have been friends since they were children, and after a previous accident, Bailey stepped in to support Gage by becoming a live-in nanny for his adorable daughter Scarlett.
Great in theory, but the undeniable attraction between Bailey and Gage could not go ignored. But will it be enough for a happy ending?
I really enjoyed reading the first in the Seattle Sharks series, getting to know the sharks and learning the heart warming story of the blossoming passion and love between Bailey and Gage.
The story was wonderfully well written, and the energy and emotions were palpable. I look forward to reading the others in the series.

Inspired by the incredible true story of how the people of Denmark saved their Jewish neighbours...
Intriguing and gripping from the first page.
Gary Born is a master at creating a vibrant and descriptive story. He has a way of transporting you through time that gets you lost, in a good way!
Sara West is our heroine, I love her. She is equal parts intelligent, brave and capable.
Sara is the first person we meet and it's apparent straight away that she is a strong independent woman.
I'm not going to head into too much detail as you seriously need to climb aboard for this cracking story and discover the twists for yourself.
I'd recommend savouring The File snuggled up on the sofa with snacks (you know this is my favourite thing by now). It would also be a great choice for a book club or just a casual thing with friends!

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Sundown (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
I don’t really want to give too much away about Sundown, so I suppose for this review I’ll have to bring you my thoughts on the production etc rather than going in to deep with the story of the short film.
Running at almost 13 minutes, Sundown looks stunning, the colouring of the short film has been done wonderfully, with the colours of not only the landscape and sky of the beautifully shot scenes but also the skin tones of for Frazer and Caitlin.
This makes the film a joy to watch, but adding to the delight of looking good, Sundown also has a soundtrack that sounds lovely, the music throughout the film works so well, giving the film a feeling of love and devotion to the high standards of producing a soundtrack and to flow throughout the story.
