4.5/5 stars!
You’d be forgiven if you’ve never heard of Milly Bennett, but now is the time to correct that oversight. She was one of the first female war correspondents, and author Carrie Callaghan, Author has highlighted her very interesting life with her new novel “Salt the Snow”.

Tackles a difficult subject well (1 more)
Incredible Cast
Although I was expecting this film to be good as it was. I was definitely not expecting it to become one of my favourite films. It managed to tackle a very difficult subject in an incredible good and tactful way. The cast was incredible with both well known stars like Will Smith and Helen Mitten to the (what I'm sure is to be) incredibly promising not as well known stars such as Jacob Latimore. Also the twist at the end was amazing! They also managef to include a good amount of humour whilst at the same time not making light of a very real and serious issue. All in all it well exceeed my expectations and easily made it's way into my top films.

Kristina (502 KP) rated The Redemption of Callie & Kayden (The Coincidence, #2) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
Though I'm giving The Redemption of Callie & Kayden 3 stars, I have to confess that it's a weak 3. Honestly, I debated for a long while about whether or not it should actually get a 2.5 rating. I was anxious to read another part of Callie's and Kayden's relationship, to see what awaits them in their lives. For the first half of the book, I was pretty into it, but I felt like things really slowed down around the 60% mark; I began speed reading and only slowing down when it came to the parts I was really looking forward to - which is why I decided to give 3 stars, because though I was slightly bored, I still cared enough to want to find out how everything would end (at least for this book).

About time!!
Am I allowed to give a book 5 stars simply because after 4 books our two main characters finally got around to having sex? It seems to have taken an age but I'm a happy reader right now.
Of course that's not the only reason I gave it five stars because once again Tilly ended up doing some crazy security jobs and ended up battered and bruised once more. I really like her loyalty and grit! And the relationship with Daniel and Niq--I still love those boys!!
Will be buying book 5 in the morning!

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Perfect Contradiction by Paloma Faith in Music
Jun 28, 2017
It does leave you wanting more and expecting more from Paloma’s next album. The musicality is evident, the big voice is there and the songwriting is coming along nicely. Paloma Faith has the potential to be one of the biggest pop stars in the world

Auburn (57 KP) rated Rosemarked: Rosemarked Book 1 in Books
Apr 10, 2019
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.
This is a story about learning who you truly are, fighting the system, and overcoming death even if it is temporary. Add in a slow build romance that feels real and you have rosemarked.
Zivah and Dineas's story is told from alternating points of view. The author does a fantastic job of portraying each view point.

Autumn (3 KP) rated Mansfield Park in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I really wanted to give this five stars, it's my favorite of Austen's novels excepting Northanger Abbey, but the idea that Fanny was oh, so fortunately raised by those who would be her family, that her husband influenced her opinions, temper, and worldview is beyond creepy. I can get over the cousin aspect but the molding of the perfect wife very nearly ruined it for me.
