Enjoyable but a little too predictable for me,which was a shame. I did however love how each family was portrayed,as I enjoy reading about different religions and their take on family life.

"This is one of my absolute favorite albums! Biggie is one of the best MC’s there ever was and for me he really inspired me to think deeper about how far you can take concepts of songs and where they can take you. He had a way of being lyrical, witty and emotional and that is a lethal combination. Honestly my favorite Biggie song on this album is 'Me and My Bitch'—I know it sounds crazy but this song about love in the life of a hustler, really painted a vivid picture for me."

Interesting modern take on the Arthurian legend that everyone knows. The only problem I had was that the "twist" was so predictable. Somebody told me the rest of the series was in graphic novel format.

A New Take On An Outbreak
From the trailer for this i thought no, give it a miss, looks bad. Then Netflix kept recomending it to me until i buckled. I'm so glad i buckled, this is so funny and different from what you expect. Very funny characters and situations, just the look on the fathers face does it for me.

I liked this but it didn't blow me away. It took a long time for stuff to get going and I'd begun to lose interest just as the pace picked up. It never fully grabbed me but I liked the new take on dragons (draygones) and the Darken family grew on me and in the end I was happy for our clumsy girl to get the hot alien-Dragon-boy-man.

I'm not sure if I'm intrigued enough to buy book 2

Leading a busy life and spending a lot of time on the move means I can't always sit down and read a book. Audible allows me to take my books with me wherever I go. It's an app that is easy to use and I recently introduced my parents to it as well. Convenience on busy days is a very important aspect, and Audible offers users exactly that.

An oldie but still a goodie
It was a little slow for me starting out. it picked up quickly and has a very interesting take on the job of death. It has me hooked. I love the characters. Zane is so relate-able it's not even funny. I can't wait to check out the rest of the series.

"One of the last great men. His entire life was an education on how to be better, and this book reflects two things for me: greatness and the measure of a human, and how the essence of bravery can take many forms."

Movie Favorite

"This is a tiny documentary that for me, is so much more than a movie. In short, it’s about an autistic boy who’s Texan parents take him on horseback to inner Mongolia in search of a Shamanic healing. It’s not the easiest film to watch, but in my opinion, a miracle happens on screen."
