Captain Marvel (2019)
2019 | Action, Adventure
The beginning
So the long awaited Captain Marvel, this is a easy watch with a few funny part's. Unlike most of the other Marvel movies you do not have to watch any of the others to understand what is happing as it is a stand alone film (it does lead into endgame). This makes it alot more appealing to the veiwer.

This is a Harry Bosch story and as I've not read any of the others it is also a good stand alone book.
It keeps you interested in the actual story as well as encouraging you to buy the other Harry Bosch books to get his full backstory. I highly recommend reading it if you enjoy the detective/police genre as I do.

I love Karin Slaughter novels and this one did not disappoint!

Her books are gripping, full of emotion and the intensity begins with the opening chapter and doesn’t let go until the end.

This is a stand alone novel and I read it in two sittings.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.
  
Reading the second book I realized these were stand-alone books which makes it easier if you have a later book. Frankie's diary, like Draculaura's, was a fun ride and I enjoyed learning more about one of the more minor characters, Isi. Frankie, as always is full of energy which is contrasted by Isi's quieter personality. Again, it was overall good, quick read.

Rolling Stone's 226th greatest album of all time
More turgid cringeworthy rock from Springsteen. This album was recorded by him alone as demos but they decided to release the demos rather than the intended full band rock versions of the songs. This gives the album a folkier feel, and it does stand out from his other work, but it is still unmistakably him.

It's hard to pick your favourite Discworld book.

It's hard even to pick your favourite that utilises a core set of characters.
If I was asked for my favourite Witches book, it would be a toss up between 'Lords and Ladies' and 'Maskerade'. My favourite stand-alone? Probably 'Small Gods'. My favourite Death? 'Soul Music'.

My favourite City Watch? Quite possibly this one.

This is the fourteenth book in this series by this author. These books can be read as stand alone reads. This is a fantastic and hot and steamy addition to the series. I just couldn't put this book down, the story just sucked me in till the last page. I can't wait to read more from this author and in this series in the future.
Highly recommended

I am totally loving this series by Nicole Pyland. The characters are engaging and the plot moves well. I will recommend that you read #0 and #1 in the Chicago Series before reading this book. It can stand alone but is so much better when you know all of it, especially to understand the relationship at the center of the story. Looking forward to book #3.
