This is the first book I this series by this author. This story is a fun read with just enough twists in the story to keep you hooked. In this story they are a few different story lines but by the end of the book they are joined together. I loved the characters they were really well written. The characters were very likeable and quite realistic. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

This young adult novel features Han and Qi'ra sometime before the events in the beginning of Solo. It gives much needed development to Qi'ra's character, and makes her actions at the end Solo completely understandable.
Both Han and Qi'ra are sent on missions by Lady Proxima, the head of the White Worms. Their missions are related, and when it goes south, they have to work together for the first time to get out of the mess. The story lags a little in the middle, but overall, it was entertaining.

I gave this movie a 6. It was a great movie dont get me wrong (watched it 5 times) but they threw in a narrator half ways threw the the movie. So either have that from the start or dont have it at all. Or make it like a wild west comic and use the format like the warriors. I just felt it was a last moment thing that was thrown together. So if it was not for the narrator it would been a high 7 or even a 8.

Great Mechanics

Great introduction to board games
Easy to teach/learn
A great game that works well
Pandemic was my first (grown up) board game in a while... It was also a great way to introduce others to tabletop gaming because it is so easy to teach on the fly...the mechanics work really well thematically...it's great to have in your collection and start a game night with friends or family because there isn't any bickering because the whole point of the game is to work together

Django Unchained (2012)
2012 | Action, Drama, Western
A Tarantino classic in my book, well scripted and acted with so many great moments and even a Cameo role from the original Django, Franco Nero.
The revenge plot is so well put together and the storyline riveting, Tarrentino has this thing about casting actors we haven't seen in a while and then getting a near career best performance from them, Don Johnson being a highlight. It all moves at a great pace with the finale and shootout scenes and dialogue adding further polish to this stunning movie.

Awful one-dimensional dialogue
The Tessa Thompson/Chris Hemsworth Ragnarok chemistry never materialises
Lazy, formulaic and pretty pointless.
The latest MiB is a mere shadow of the former Sonnenfeld trilogy. Perhaps if they put a blinky light in my face I can forget it again? Read the full review on One Mann's Movies here - https://bob-the-movie-man.com/2019/06/16/one-manns-movies-film-review-men-in-black-international-2019/

This was a different type of read for me but I found myself enjoying it so very much. I really liked watching Amity learn who she is and what she is meant to do and who she is meant to be. The storyline flowed well.. the characters were very enjoyable and I loved how it all came together. The only thing I wasn't fond on was the ending.. I can't say more because of spoilers but dang.. lol.. But it was still a very fun story to read

Great to see the original cast back together after 13 years from the first film. It gave me a slight sense of nostalgia as well thinking about when I saw the first film and how things have changed since then. All the best scenes seem to involve Jim & Michelle apart from a few in jokes from the earlier films. So never really as funny as the first or having as much of an impact, but good to see them altogether again. Just noticed the poster is a recreation of the original as well!

Where did it go?
This was a superb first season, but where did the series go? It seems to have been forever since I heard anything about it.

I absolutely love the twisty, surreal feel to the episodes. The way things progress as each episode moves on only keeps you more and more focused on the story, and pining for more at the end. Every character has a dark past that ties in with other characters and really brings the whole narrative together. Definitely recommend and very much hoping there will be a second season.

Wow, what can I say? I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lady Midnight. I felt for all of the characters, I had favorites who turned into less desirable characters towards the end. I thought I'd predicted who the killer was and then a sense of dread and realisation and I found myself flicking back to earlier parts of the story to cement what I now knew was true before Emma pieced it together herself. I can't wait to read the next installment! I'm especially looking forward to seeing how Kit and Ty interact with each other.
