"As any parent knows, preparing your kids for life after high school is a long and sometimes difficult journey. Tavenner—who created a network of some of the best performing schools in the nation—has put together a helpful guidebook about how to make that process as smooth and fruitful as possible. Along the way, she shares what she’s learned about teaching kids not just what they need to get into college, but how to live a good life".

Sensual and full of passion, Skye Warren makes it easy to fall head over heels in love with her characters. Blake is no exception; he's sweet and thoughtful, but just mysterious enough to be sexy. Erin is a smart, independent, unusually mature woman who refuses to be a damsel in distress. Their relationship is a turbulent one, yet you can't help but root for them both. I'm excited to read the next book and see how they grow together.

I've had my suspicions from the beginning, but with some of Ben's words and actions, it makes me very curious. Like, for instance, is Ben actually a good guy, but is being forced to fight for the dark side? Or are the Dark Fae, as so many of the Light Fae have mentioned, not really evil, just misguided? And, if the latter is the case, could both sides end up joining forces and living together in perfect harmony?

I have no idea if I've finished Book One of this mad-cap webcomic. It's different individual comics that have been put together in this book. A lot of them carry on from previous pages but are mixed in here and there to break them up. It's proper crazy at times, funny at others, and admittedly I didn't get some of them.

I'm sure I'll keep reading it at some point but my rating wont change.

Badass
The leading lady is so badass, the actress and/or stunt double has some serious skill in fighting in different disciplines. I like the story although I found some of it a little rushed.

The characters work well together and there are some funny bits. It also felt quite inclusive.

I want more and feel like there could be hundreds of other stories around the adventures of the old guard.

One of my favourite films of all time
I haven't watched this film for a long time but I absolutely love it. A crew of desperate complete idiots decide to commit what they think is a genius heist, and the whole thing is just so wonderfully touching and funny as they blunder their way through their crime. Each of the main characters is so well realised and work together so well, it really is a joy to watch.

Absolute Masterpiece of Storytelling
Classic that set the bar for non linear storytelling. Tarantino's excellent charactors and dialogue is present with his trademark tone. I remember watching this on my couch in not expecting much but a crime movie. This movie does not fit any label. I was on the edge of my seat with every story and charactor while piecing together the parts in my head. This movie got me into movies
