Completely Captivated

From the time I heard this book was coming out I just knew I had to read it. I will tell you that I lived Anastasia's life while reading this book and that's in part to the author's creative writing style. I found myself caught up in all of the emotional turmoil and upheaval that the entire family went through and I cried with the losses that occurred within this storyline. The blending of historical facts with fantasy kept me captivated until I turned the very last page. I quite honestly did not want the book to end and will reread this book. I really wonder how Anastasia's life would have turned out if she hadn't been murdered and this author gave me a glimpse of what could have been.

So after a long while I actually watched this and as an avid lover of Despicable Me, I can tell you...it was bland at best. The characters had their usual comical charm and the whole Agnes and finding a real unicorn thing was so cute but they really could have done more with Gru and Dru. Dru could have been given a better overall story arc. And I feel they could have brought more of this infamous villain father into things a lot more. I feel over all three was alot more room for story and comedic content in this one, compared to the first two movies

(This review will be on my blog <a href="http://themisadventuresofatwentysomething.blogspot.com/">The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Year Old Girl</a> at the beginning of July).

I thought this was such a cute book! I enjoyed the rhyming, and even the story is interesting. We're left wondering if Farmer Fisher is ever going to make it to market! The story gets longer with almost every page. The illustrations are absolutely fantastic! You can tell the illustrator really took his time when it came to them.

This is a short story that will keep the little ones' attention. It is a cute story, well written, and the illustrations are beautiful! I'd say this is a book for all ages.

(I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review).

I have a love-hate relationship with Netflix. I love that they change up their offerings so often, there is always something new. But, and maybe it's just me, there is such as a thing as TOO many options. I can scroll through all the options endlessly and never be able to decide what to watch.
The way it pops up to ask if you are still watching is definitely annoying, especially on cleaning days when I just want to throw the tv on for the kids and get cleaning done without them up my butt and they come to get me after three episodes of their shows and tell me something is wrong with the tv. I wish Netflix gave the option to turn that setting off.

I agree it feels overwhelming sometimes and I don't want to check something out because I feel like there's so much to check it out

Hmmm … roughly 15 years after the Guillermo del Torro directed 'Hellboy' and 11 years after 'Hellboy 2: The Golden Army' (both starring Ron Perlman as Big Red), we have - essentially - a reboot of sorts, this time with David Harbour (whoever he is. From Stranger Things - I've yet to watch that - apparently) taking on the lead role, with support from Ian McShane and - this time - with Milla Jovovich taking on the role of the 'big bad' Nimue.

Yes, that Nimue, from Arthurian folklore.

Which should tell you pretty much all you need to know: a mish-mash hodge-podge of sorts, with some leaden dialogue and a migraine-inducing thumping soundtrack, that borrows more liberally from the source comic than I remember the previous films doing, while also being a fair bit bloodier!
