There is folk that wants to whisper in your ear, and then there is the music of Lankum: urgent, desperate and detonating, full of lyrics and sounds smacking together like waves shattering stones in a storm.

Beautiful poignant storytelling across generations
Khaled Hosseini is one of the most amazing storytellers. His descriptions are moving and stunning told with such delicacy and subtlety, I shed many a tear reading it. Spanning across generations, the group of people all tied together experience both wonder and loss. The different narrators were great, understanding the importance of the culture through the language. Highly recommended.

I was pleasantly surprised when I started watching this! The storyline is interesting, as long as it doesn't get too sucked into the "monster of the week" trope. I think they brought together a great cast, and I'll be interested to see where this leads. Hopefully it doesn't get too bogged down like she did with True Blood.

This was a fast funny read. I've read The Hobbit and seen the movie (the old animated one!) and I love the story... and the silliness of The Soddit was delightful.

The reader was fabulous, though a bit abrasive, and at times I couldn't quite understand what words were being said because of a thick accent or voice, but it was all together enjoyable.

I was wary reading a book by Claudia Gray, as the only book I'd read by her, I absolutely couldn't stand. This book made me change my opinion of the author.
The novel features two friends that grew up together, joined the Imperial Academy, then one became a rebel. It was a quick read, and the book went right up to the Battle of Jakku.
  
I love these two! They are humorous, loving, and very much together in wanting to share their personal and professional experiences with anti-aging treatments. This book is entertaining (love that they can poke fun of themselves) and extremely informative. While I don't believe in plastic surgery, I love that they give you a great deal of options to make yourself looking and feeling younger.

Em and Christine are maybe my favorite podcasters ever. They have a great rapport together and I love the combo of ghost stories and true crime! (0 more)
Spooky fun!
I love both Em and Christine’s story telling! I like that I hear old favorite stories from a new perspective as well as stories I’ve never heard before! I always want a glass of wine or milkshake after listening!
  
What an innovative way to look at a subject. Follow the Link: A Journey Though Technology show brief information about a wealth of different items and links them together in a plethora of different manners. As a way to introduce STEM subjects to a more reluctant reader, I think this would be ideal and the curiosity raising presentation a real bonus to child engagement.

Well put together
Im a disnerd not going to lie and with all the live action remakes this was a welcomed animation, wouldnt say its as good as the first one however if you enjoy a family movie night i would definitely give it a go. As a family we enjoyed it alot. Plus you see the princesses in a different light which i enjoyed.
