I watched this has background noise when I couldn't find anything else that took my fancy at the time on Netflix. I quickly became obsessed, it's so cheesy but fun and heartwarming. The far out storyline s work due to the nature of the programme and genuinely keep you wanting more.
Definitely binge worthy

At the end of the previous book in the Weather Warden series (<i>Gale Froce</i>), Joanne - and, by extension, the entire organisation - had gone public with their powers over the forces of nature.

Not only that, but she had also got married to her Djinn lover David. On the minus side, however, she has also had a Demon Mark latched onto her, by her old nemesis 'Bad Bob' Beragnine (sp?).

This novel picks up from the end of that, with the warden organisation out to hunt down Bad Bob while a storm is about to lash the coast of Florida (nature doesn't like being messed with), and while Joanne must try to stop herself from going to the 'dark side'.

I didn't love it the first time through, but the second time and onward has gotten me to really, really enjoy it and become attached to it. It also helps that Hawaii contains some truly fond memories for me. The songs and heroic nature of the female lead character make it a winner in my book.

Love this series!
I love these books. They can be found in the children’s section of book stores but from the second book onwards they contain explicit scenes of a sexual nature and shouldn’t be read by children. Feyre is tough and a perfect main character

Things are heating up for Harry, he is getting used to being a Warden and it is a difficult. It is Harry, when isn't it?
There are a few scenes that make me happy he is a bit quixotic in nature. Even is I also roll my eyes on occasion. And as always choices, choices, choices.

The Little Drummer Girl, BBC1, review: a superbly tense climax to a dark and downbeat spy saga
Though not as glossy as The Night Manager, this adaptation proved John Le Carre is as good as anyone exploring the dark side of human nature

A sweet thought-provoking tale about Edward - a man with OCD and aspergers. Cleverly written it takes the reader on a journey to understand Edward's condition but, more importantly, to get to know the man behind his disabilities. Powerful insights are revealed which actually open windows not only into mental illness but human nature. I enjoyed this book.

"In 1417, Poggio Bracciolini discovers Lucretius’ ancient poem, “On the Nature of Things.” This poem had been lost for more than a thousand years and its ideas threatened contemporary views of science and human contentment. Its return to circulation altered the entire course of history, and Greenblatt writes about this shift in an accessible, meaningful way."

"My oldest friend, David, and I bring this beast up nearly every time we see each other. It’s a beautifully bleak view of love and human nature. It seems to say that romance has the shelf life of milk. What a horrifying thought, but I suppose my long-standing friendship with David allows me to stomach this sour fact."
