If anything be wants to see another side of Alice then this is the book for you. I’ve read it and loved it so much I read it again. You get attached to Alice and Hatcher as they work together to fight the jabbawoki. I have already started in the second book

Ok, so unfortunately not a picture round. The aim of the questions I will pose is to guess the film title from two actors in the film. Some can be quite hard so to make it a little easier, the year will be supplied in brackets (but also in case they starred in more than one movie together). Here’s the first one:

Imogen Poots and Idris Elba (2007)

Perfect! Very pleased you got it. Thought it might have been too hard.

I'll be honest, it was pretty difficult. It kept me occupied at work yesterday!

King is the master of phantasmagorical horror and his sales verify his number one place amongst authors of the genre. This is the story of a group of youngsters who each have an encounter with Pennywise the Clown, an evil, malevolent being that feeds on the fears of children. Their friendship pact brings them together thirty years later to confront their demons and end their battle with ‘IT’. A great read.

My daughter loves travelling by plane so I thought I would reserve this one for her at the library. She also loves Maisy so this was a good book to read together. The book goes through all the stages of airplane travel, some of which my daughter remembers so it brought back happy memories. There were a few inconsistencies but those probably won't be recognised by pre-schoolers.

Loved this debut novel, not only did I feel as though the story was one never quite told like this I really loved the way it captured real grief and how it can tear a family apart or bring them together and now race/gender is something that almost always impacts a persons life and outlook on things, especially in a mixed race family in the early 60s.

In continuation of the first book, William Laurence and Temeraire will have to deal with the fall out of China finding out that Laurence has stolen Temeraire from Napoleon. They travel to China hoping they can stay together.
Laurence has way more patience then most although his temper is something to behold. the descriptions of the voyage and China are gorgeous in this wonderful alt history fiction.

An utterly captivating story of finding love when you least expect.Lily is a fiery,compulsive vixen and Daniel is a devishly handsome rogue.But when put together they create a story of passion,fiery lust and overwhelming feeling unlike anything youve ever seen before..my only issue is the language.It wasnt really accurate for the time in history the book is set in.i love the plot,storyline and the characters personalities!

I don't know why I waited so long to watch this one. I'm a huge Sandra Bullock fan and she(and Clooney) didn't disappoint in this masterfully told survival story. This was one heck of a thrill ride. The cinematography was beautifully done. The story had plenty of intense, emotional moments. This is a really great story the whole family can watch together. REALLY worth a watch!

Gets Old Fast, But Good For An Afternoon
Some of these videos are really interesting. After a while, though, they all start to blur together. I still subscribe to the channel, but I can't remember the last video I actually watched.
On the bright side, they're definitely well-researched. And I'll admit that the tone is consistently good: engaging, funny at some points but serious when it needs to be.
