I adored this book - some of it was a bit confusing so hence the 4 stars, but other than that this was a great book.

I adored the horse that took her back in the end - for real, I could listen (I listened to the audio version - it was awesome) to her talk all day, a whole book one her would be awesome, not even an exaggeration on that one. Her sing-song ways and mannerisms are just fabulous.

I'm unsure how to literally spell ANYTHING because I listened to audio, but the world was fun, I can't wait to listen to the second book - I really enjoyed her husband, even though their story was off to a rocky start, I can't wait to see where they end up and how their realm develops.

I had a hard time putting this one down, it grabbed me from page one. The writing style was great, I really enjoyed the originality of the plot, and the pace was perfect, no real slow spots. I would have liked a little more character development, especially with the secondary characters since they are integral to the story. As the heroine, I wish Macie had done more to deal with her problems herself instead of always relying on her friends. Parts of the ending felt a little too convenient, as tho the author was in a rush to tie up loose ends. I'm not sure if there will be anymore books about the witchtown world but I certainly hope so! *Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!*

The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk

Hmmm .... This opens with The Hulk / Bruce Banner exiled from Earth on a space-craft that is meant to deposit him on a remote and uninhabited planet, before that craft is pulled off-course and through a mysterious wormhole (are there any other kinds?) to a distant - and inhabited - planet.

What follows is, essentially, an off-world retelling of Spartacus, with The Hulk first captured by Imperials, sent to fight in the Arena's, then escaping and leading a revolt (even if, unlike Spartacus this one is successful).

Yes, it has plenty of explosions and battles, but (I hate to say), the entire thing is somewhat bland; never really drawing me in to the story and with no real hook - this is also, very much, a story of The Hulk rather than of Bruce Banner.

Look at this Photograph
8mm- is a underrated mystery thriller, it was directed by Joel Schumacher, yes the person who destoryed and ruined batman two years before this movie came out. Joel Schumacher is better with mysterious and thrillers than Batman. Anyways the plot:

Private detective Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) lives a normal life with his wife (Catherine Keener) and young daughter, until he receives a startling new case. A widow named Mrs. Christian (Myra Carter) has found what appears to be a snuff film among her late husband's belongings, and she wants Welles to determine if the movie is real or fake. Welles heads to California, where a video store employee (Joaquin Phoenix) helps him infiltrate the dangerous and depraved world of illegal porn movies.

Its suspenseful, horrorfying, twisted and overall a good movie.

This is definitely a hugely underrated film. And one of the few times Nicolas Cage is actually decent!

From the beginning of the book you are hooked. Such a warm well wrote book by julia romp telling the tale of life living with an autistic son . Her thoughts and feeling about the lack of communication and love she desperately wants.
Then one day ben a stray cat turns up on the doorstep and there whole world changes.
The story goes through some magical moments where you are left smiling and you dont want to put the book down.
One day while they are on holiday ben goes missing. The story runs through the whole heartache and mystery surrounding the missing cat.
You will find the ending adorable though.
Hope you enjoy the book just as much as I did

Game that can be played forever!
I played this game years ago with my eldest son (who has now moved on to Fortnite) and we used to spend hours creating real life buildings in our Minecraft world. The possibilities are endless. Then we moved on to survival, which can either be challenging or hard enough just to keep a young child engaged.

Then having not played it for a few years my youngest son was wanting to play on my Xbox and Minecraft was again the best thing for him to play. With all the updates to the game over the years, it has kept the game fresh for returning players and we are having so much fun building again!!
