Go to the bathroom first. You could wet yourself
Alan offends the working class on air so goes to seek redemption and we get a documentary delivered in his acutely awkward way. It is patronising, difficult to watch and so funny I had to keep rewinding it as I was still laughing from the previous scene.

Oh, if you don't like Alan Partridge you won't like this. Why you don't, I don't know.

This continuation of Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic series careers with it the same magical world and the same characters that she made me love in the first book. I enjoy that in each book not only do the title characters get more backstory and more fleshed out but the entire cast of characters receive more depth. My favorite part of this book is the connection that has been forming between the characters. The strength of their bond carries the story, and I love the way in which their friendship manifests.

Book Favorite

"Clark played the character ‘Nitro’ on the television series American Gladiators, and if you read only one book on vacation this year, this has to be it. After a dark childhood, steroids launch the author into a new life as a national celebrity built from mountains of chemically enhanced muscle. The dream falls apart as he sprouts breasts he can’t conceal inside his skimpy spandex costume, then suffers high colonics in order to pass mandatory drug tests. Of course, there’s redemption, but not before a ton of laughs."

It's official: I am now a Stephanie Perkins fan. How could I not be after two reads that I've given five stars to?

I love reading her characters and the romance they share.

I loved Cricket in this; he was equally gorgeously cute and geeky. Some of the things he came out with *sigh* Too cute!

Also the appearance of Anna and St. Clair/Etienne was really cool! I can't help wondering if Anna, St. Clair, Lola and Cricket will make a surprise appearance in the third book in this series :)

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!

Latest (at the time of writing) entry in Pixar's Toy Story series of films, although - I have to say - I'm not entirely sure that this was needed, after Toy Story 3 left the trilogy-as-was with pretty much the perfect ending.

Animation - as expected - is top notch, with this film (again, as expected) doing its best to tug on your heartstrings and finally reuniting Woody with Bo Peep (that's no spoiler: she's on all the posters and in the trailers!), after she sat out all of the previous movie.
