The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Girls on the Line in Books
Oct 5, 2020
The women who went to Europe in 1917 as signal corps officers with the US Army, played an enormous part in helping bring the “Great War” to its conclusion. However, until 1979, they were literally the unsung heroes of WWI, because the army refused to recognize them as proper soldiers. This injustice brought author Aimie K. Runyan to write this gripping historical fiction novel, that highlights these women and their contributions. You can read my #bookreview of “Girls on the Line” on my blog now.

David McK (3236 KP) rated Lieutenant Hornblower in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Chronologically the second of [a:C.S. Forester|932179|C.S. Forester|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1218219226p2/932179.jpg]'s Hornblower series, this is actually the seventh by Publication date, and is a marked contrast to most of the other Hornblower novels in that, while Horatio Hornblower is indeed the main character this is not told from his point of view, but rather from that of Lieutenant William Bush, who's date of commission makes him senior to Hornblower (who is, in fact, the junior lieutenant on board the HMS Renown).
Over the course of the novel, Bush sees how Hornblower becomes integral to dealing with an insane captain, as well as to the Renowns mission to the Spanish held possession of Santa Domingo (and the capture of one of the forts there) and finally back to England to see how the fact that peace has 'broken out' has dealt with Hornblower: the latter part showing him down on his luck, with his commission to post rank refused due to this peace, and with the Admiralty requiring him to pay back the excess pay he had withdrawn over the period between his (now refused) commission and his return home.
Like all of the Hornblower books, well worth a read!

Jingled all the way
An alternate take on the classic Christmas movie "Jingle all the way" throws two neighbours who are on opposite sides of the same coin, one who wants to be friends and the other a little scrooge-esque who doesn't.
It's almost Christmas, a little girl wants the the most sought after pink pony toy around and dad refused to pay the Instore price and his neighbour knows where to get one.
This revelation leads the unlikely duo on an going on an oddball journey - thieves, low speed car chase and a hobo santa are all part of a day's work...
Starring Stephen Merchant & Asim Chaudhry

Erika (17788 KP) rated A Hidden Life (2019) in Movies
Dec 21, 2019
Seeing this film is something you have to prepare for, it clocks in at just under 3 hours. You also have to be aware that it's a Malick film, and the dude does whatever he wants.
First, Austria is beautiful, the cinematography, scenery, everything, was gorgeous. I think that there were more scenes of nature, than the actors themselves. It's a long, rollicking journey through the simple story of a man who refused to swear an oath to Hitler in 1943.
Franz's journey was deeply religious and philosophical.
I really enjoyed the entire film, and it was worth almost 3 hours of my life, simply because of the beauty of it. It won't be everyone's thing.

Good characters

when I saw this come onto Netflix a long way back, I judged it hard refused to watch it because I thought it was some crappy zombie movies that I won’t like.
Then a friend insisted that I give it a try told me that the zombie solves crimes, so I thought to my self that’s the kind of thing I’m into
Well, now I’m lost because Iv seen all 4 season! Within a few days and now triddling my thumbs for season 5
It’s so good! I was addicted after 5 minuets Serves me right for judging before trying.
I Love the characters, I love the humour that they put into this, every episode there is something to laugh at.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated The Selection in Books
Dec 12, 2017 (Updated Dec 12, 2017)
I finally sat down to read this book and I freaking loved it so much that I had to read it all in a day because I simply refused to put it down.
A beautifully written story line that quickly found me endearing myself to America as she is someone people could actually look up to.
America does not want to sign up for the selection but her love interest Aspen asks her to do it so that later on in life there are no I wonder ifs and so she does it thinking that she won't be selected. However, she does and things quickly begin to change for her.
This emotionally charged read is fast paced, full of strong characters and the world building was enchanting. A story full of love, heartache, revelations and perseverance. Can't wait for the next book to arrive in the mail!
