A great coming of age story. Both serious and funny. The book is broken into two parts the first is about her upbringing and the difficulties of being seen as less than... The part two picks up in the same time that chapter one does and goes from there.
Although you're supposed to read this second as it is a prequel (to the Blue Sword) it is a good stand alone/read first book. I highly recommend.

Second - and last - season of the 'Rogue One' prequel which, again, I found to be very much a marmite show: whilst the critics seemed to love it; I actually struggle to finish it.

This is also split into several - I think 4?- 3 episode arcs with, I have to say, the arcs getting better the closer it got to Rogue One and with hte penultimate arc (The Ghorman Massacre) the best of the lot.

YMMV, of course!

Entirely unnecessary
It really frustrates me when they make films like this that are so obviously motivated by the money only. Did we really need a prequel to the Purge films to know exactly how it all began? Of course we didn't as everything we needed to know was in the other Purge films anyway. How many people have really wanted a Purge prequel? And sadly this film is as unnecessary as you'd expect.

Most of it plays out in a similar way to the others, and is entirely predictable and lacking in originality. It doesn't even have any creepy costumes or decent deaths like the others, so it really is lacking entirely. It gets slightly more interesting towards the end with the Raid-like tower block scenes but even this seems to just be trying to replicate the Raid and all of the other films like it. The characters too are all immediately forgettable.

Unless you absolutely love the other Purge films, this really isn't worth a watch.

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY is the prequel novella to the Mystic Beach series. If you're looking for a short, steamy, and intriguing story, then congratulations! Because that's what you've found.

The story focuses on Molly and Logan, two people who live in Mystic Beach but, for their own reasons, thought they'd never find someone to be with. Sometimes, giving in to doughnuts rewards you in ways you never imagined!

You also get hints and teasers about other characters, as well as the magic Mystic Beach may have. All in all, this was a quick read that has completely whetted my appetite for more! Looking forward to reading Once Upon a Dream which is due for release this summer. Until then, I definitely recommend you get your mitts on this prequel.

Not even remotely scary
The best way to describe this slightly mediocre horror film is that it is totally blah. That's right, there's nothing particularly chilling apart from the fact we already know the ending as this is the prequel to Ouija. Therefore it is a bit of an anti-climax. The biggest excitement / horror was the fact the main character in ET is in this film and he's currently around 40 years old. Talk about shocking, makes you feel old.
