Yeah I'm basic, sue me. Part sad travelogue, part Malick faux-poetic tirade, part genuinely exceptional romance - but all in all one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, left me breathless; the type of grandiose feast for the senses that honestly belongs in a museum. Not even just in the experience > film sense either tbh because what this is really good at capturing is people who are caught in fleeting lives - where they routinely visit some of the happiest places in the world but no one is actually happy - and how their love comes and goes, and sometimes just doesn't work out. Nothing notably momentous or bad always happens, sometimes it just... doesn't quite click. And that's okay. Sumptuous, erotic, funny, romantic, heartbreaking, and for once a romance that doesn't shame these people for simply testing out the waters. I also really want some of whatever Fassbender is on here because that shit looks like it *works*. Say what you will about the guy but no one's making movies like this. By *far* the best artsy love story with music as a backdrop starring Ryan Gosling.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
My paperback copy of this book contained the prequel, <i>The Strange Case of Finley Jayne</i>, as well as <i>The Girl in the Steel Corset</i>.
2 stars for The Strange Case... and 3 stars for The Girl in...
I wasn't sure what to expect with this. It isn't my usual sort of read, though I have read quite a few steampunk books (Lindsay Buroker mainly).
Some aspects of this book I really liked, like the different abilities of Griffin's friends, the storyline was also quite intriguing although I figured out who the bad guy was by about half way through.
Things I wasn't so keen on: the steel corset only came into play after the half way point; I was expecting it to be part of Finley from the start. And the romance. I know that in Victorian times it wasn't acceptable to be left alone with someone of the opposite sex without a chaperone and to just be all in your face with love and romance but I read for the romance and although you know they have feelings for each other, nothing actually happens.
I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

I received an ARC when I signed up and was selected to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own.
This teen/young adult read is well written with ever developing characters and I enjoyed reading it. You'll find secret socieities, rituals, magic and a developing romance between my two favorite characters, Julia and Graham. I found it hard to put the book down. There are definitely some lose ends so I look forward to reading the next book.

what a fab read, I just didn't want it to end. I really loved the characters and thought they worked really well in the story line, this story has romance, hot steamy scenes and the some funny parts. this book left me wanting more and I was disappointed when it finished. I loved how you got to see the story from both points of view makes the story more believable. the secondary characters were fab and played important roles within the story line.

A good quick romance, hot and steamy read. This book has fantastic characters. There were some laugh out loud moments in this story. This author has a fab way of bringing emotions and experiences to each character. This is only the second book by this author that ive read by ill definitely be on the look out for more. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

This was a fairly good book filled with short stories. Most of the stories were very well done and some failed to capture my attention. I'm glad that I bought this book. It was definitely entertaining and a way of finding new authors.
I definitely have a weakness for romance with military men. There is nothing sexier than an alpha male in camo. I thought that these stories were definitely entertaining and it was nice to have a stopping point every 30 pages or so. I really enjoyed this book.

Fun, Romantic and Exciting
This film has a timeless appeal, and is one of my all-time favourites.
It is a story filled with twists and turns, and some moments of real suspense - all interspersed with light humour and romance.
Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn play the main characters in the film, and have a wonderful on-screen chemistry, which makes it all the more enjoyable to watch.
Perhaps the best - and most unexpected - part of the film is its ability to keep you guessing right to the very end.
