One of the greatest love stories in the past century
Rarely can you make a claim that a true relationship is the greatest love story in the past century until you hear about Seretse Khama and his wife Ruth.
As an African chieftain of Bechuanaland, now Botswana, Khama was studying law in the UK before meeting Ruth, a secretary and daughter to a British Army captain. Even after the Second World War interracial couples faced much prejudice, but none so much as a king of a British protectorate and an ordinary white woman.
Facing many trials and tribulations, even exile from his own country thanks to the British relationship with the then apartheid nation of South Africa, the couple attempt to endure endless hardships to be the rightful rulers of Botswana.
It's always magnificent when you hear these stories are based on real life events. The Notebook has nothing on this.

Intricately Woven Past and Present Storylines
This is a great series with a lot of potential. While the Pearson Family only has five family members, the season just wasn't long enough to fully develop the characters. But what we did learn about them shows we are on our way to learning about complex but "real" people. I love how the show goes back and forth in time from when the 3 kids were young to when they are adults finding their way in the world. The underlying theme is how did their dad die and how did his death impact each family member in the following years.
My whole family like to watch this show. We've laughed, cried, wondered what was going to happen next, and look forward to the quick wit each week.

Jan 15, 2018
This novel tells the story of two families who become intertwined despite living half a world apart and without really knowing or ever even meeting each other. One is a poor family struggling to survive in rural India. The other is a pair of medical school students who meet and fall in love, one being from India.
The American couple end up having fertility issues, while the destitute couple in India are exactly the opposite. Not wanting to know her husband has disposed of another unwanted girl, the Indian mother smuggles her baby daughter to an orphanage in Mumbai. And it is there, where the American couple end up adopting her.
The story moves through the life of the girl in parallel with the lives of her adoptive and biological parents. In the end it is a tear jerker, but has a great message about who your real family is.

Insanely good!
Words cannot describe how much I love this fantasy series by Anne Bishop, but I'm gonna try anyway. First, the characters are fully formed. From the cover one would think that Jaenelle is the main character, and in a way that is true, but in reality each of the players are equally important with rich backstories and thus become real people to the reader.
The world Bishop created in this series is intricate, deadly, wonderful, and beautiful. The books handle some pretty intense subjects, like child abuse, rape, and prostitution, which sounds bad as I write this, but Bishop handles it beautifully. They aren't extra things thrown into the story for attention--each horror is a catalyst for the characters to grow into their destinies. If you read these books, you will love them forever, I promise. These have a special place on the shelf.

If you are running out of zombie apocalyps options, watch this
I love an apocalyptic film or tv series, I love a good zombie one best. After the The Walking Dead, not much lives up to expectations, falling far short of what I now expect and want in a zombie apocalypse.
Z-nation doesn't fall short. It even adds a new take, humour. I like the way they have merged the zombie horror, end of the world scenario with humour. It's not a heavy sprikling of jokes either, it's interweaved into the whole story line. That way you can still have the drama of the apocalypse without the humour making it less real, less able for you to be drawn into.
This is for all The Walking Dead fans that are looking to fill the mid season gap and gaps between seasons. You won't be dissapointed.
