Jenny Saville recommended Rembrandt's Universe: His Art, His Life, His World in Books (curated)
I'm not good with praise, because it all feels fake, but there's NO way I can NOT try to write a review! Too Late is certainly different by Colleen's standards, but I think it may be my favorite CoHo story yet. From the first page, I was hooked. The fact that I had to wait for chapters didn't stop me from becoming obsessed. I hate Asa, but as the Queen herself has said, I love to hate him. Sloan and Luke are just perfect together. Another masterpiece well done!

Most people may have heard of the names Gustav Mahler and Gustav Klimt, but the names Alma Mahler and Alma Maria Schindler probably mean nothing to you. Admittedly they didn’t to me either. However, with Mary Sharratt’s newest novel, I’m glad to have finally had the chance to learn something about one very interesting woman. If you read my review of this book on my blog here, you’ll find out where all these names, and more, come together in one historical fiction novel.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Cinder in Books

It was an interesting retelling of Cinderella only more futuristic, with people living on the moon and cyborgs living amongst people.
I liked the story but wasn't blown away by it. It kept me reading but at the same time I wasn't completely absorbed into it, like I am most other stories.
The thing between Cinder and Kai was cute, I just wish their had been more scenes of them together in the book.
I'm intrigued by what will happen in the next book, and maybe at some point I'll buy it and read it.

Haha! I love this series! I need more already!
I am so intrigued as to where the rest of this series will go, though. Who's the guy who transports her back in time? Why doesn't she remember things that happen when she does go back in time? Is she living some sort of unknown double life?
So happy to see Harry in this! I love him and Sam together.
I love that considering how short this is, that you get a full, fun, story that's a perfect addition to the series.

Two upper-class teenage girls in suburban Connecticut rekindle their unlikely friendship after years of growing apart. Together, they hatch a plan to solve both of their problems-no matter what the cost.
The beginning of this one seemed promising and I was looking forward to where the duo were going, but the film swerved off into some fairly boring territory quickly. I was left fidgeting and querying (after my many years of watching crime dramas and reading forensic science books) how any of them managed to convince the police of their guilt/innocence.

Dangerous Ground I like Josh Lanyons books, this was no exception but I didn't like it as much as some of his other works.This was an interesting read, what with them both being openly gay but not wanting to be together in case it ruined their friendship and partnership of three years, with a kind of mystery plotline. The way the mystery was written in was very good in my opinion and I was intrigued as to what would happen after.However I think the ending was a little too abrupt for my liking.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated /BLUSH-DC. Volume 2 in Books

It's almost tearing me in half this series. I want to like it but it's so...dark, despite some of the nicer aspects of it.
Our main girl is so damaged but she's seen some light in the form of our guy, only he saw something horrible and has now turned his back on her. I wanted to strangle someone (preferably her uncle, ugh!) and bang their heads together. Now we've been left with a cliff hanger at the end of this volume.
So off to start volume 3.

Hard to follow at first, but great afterwards.
I thought this was a little hard to follow at first until about mid-way through the film. The visual symbolism is really great and if you’re into religious undertones this is going to be a really great movie for you to watch and follow. The cast worked well together and everything was very fluid. Once you understand the timeline and how it works the movie is very easy to follow and pick up on what they’re actually trying to tell you.

I wasn't sure on the book at first but I got into it after a couple of chapters. It's one of those books where you want to tell the character what is really going on as they can't see it/are blind to it. You need to keep reading as you can't wait to see what happens. There are surprises in store especially at the end. All the pieces finally fit together to reveal the full picture.
