Do you believe
Someone bought me this and told me to read it, not sure of what to expect soI did. I loved it. My heart still aches for this women. What things to go through but as a medium and having that gift she must be close to spiritual enlightenment where you are meant to suffer. Brilliant autobiography but sadly further proof there are an enourmous amount of vile men out there.
This is a PARENTING book. If you don't want to read about that, you won't likely enjoy this book. However, if that's what you are looking for, like I was, hopefully you'll find is as fun and useful as I did.
There are some great ideas to have a close, happy, and relatively peaceful family life. They gave me plenty of things to try in the future. I enjoyed that each chapter had a question to prompt you to actively think about parenting and your life. I will be recommending this to others as well as buying a physical copy for those times I forget what I want to try. :-)

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very quick read and made me want to keep reading. I did have to stop a few times to calm my nerves back down. I feel like this is a book that will stay with me for a while, it makes you think twice about trusting people. It also shows that what you see is not always what you get and if something appears too good to be true, it probably isn't true. I am very happy that I read this book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great thriller.
Twisty turny tech, Fear the AI
Not eloquently written by any means but oh not what a ride, the story is gripping edgy, nerve wracking and you just don't want to stop reading.
I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter to find out what was happening with Robert and Ambra or Julian and Bishop Valdespino or even Winston who was a charming addition to the story.
This will have you on the edge of your seat and in the end you will understand why everything happened as it did.
Highly reccomended reading.

I picked this one up during the summer for a holiday read, but have only just got around to reading it now.
And, I have to say, I was really impressed with it.
Telling the story of Tau Solarin, this probably falls somewhere between high fantasy (yes, there are dragons but no elves or dwarves or such like) and heroic fantasy (none of the characters are really what you would call conventional heroes!), but nor is it what I would call Dark fantasy (you can understand why they are doing what they are doing, with none of the characters really anti-heroes).
I'm looking forward to finding out more about the background, culture, beliefs and (in general) the world in future instalments: just what was The Cull, for instance, and why did the Omehi have to flee from it?
At that, how did the caste system come about? Will it be overthrown ... ?

You need to listen -
Wow.
I have been hooked, still am.
I have listened to the 1st series more than once. The episodes are so intriguing and draw you in.
An investigation into the death of 21 year old Christian Andriacchio, the first series dives into timelines, exclusive interviews, evidence and the 911 call. The family are suspicious and are 100% convinced foul play, but a 45 minute police investigation ruled it a suicide.
What happened? Was this murder? Or just a tragic story with a sad ending?
I must say I did my own research alongside the podcast, and if you jump down the rabbit hole like I did, you are bound to dig up things the P.D didnt want you to see.
Let me know in the comments if you listened, and if you are excited for season 2.

I did enjoy it but cringed at some of the visual effects, well it was nearly twenty years ago, but what made it interesting for me were the amount of modern day Hollywood actors who were obviously younger, you would not get them all together in todays film as the budget would not be there.

The Spanish Bride is one of Heyer's Regency novels, but unlike the others we are not in the social whirl of the Ton. Most of the action takes place during the Penninsular War and Harry and Juana are real historical characters. I did enjoy this, but it might not be what you are expecting.

This twisting, turning thriller follows twin sisters, Bel and Rose who attend a prestigious high school after they are taken in by their grandma after the deaths of their father and mother. Bel is the "bad girl" who makes choices that are not the best, however, it is Rose who suffers the consequences of Bel's decisions, which ultimately causes the death of one sister.
Along with the twins, there are numerous characters who seem to think they are above everyone else, who have narcissistic personality traits, and who want only what is best for them.
Then you have Sara who is a loving, doting mother, wife and student advisee who is caught up in the middle of the murder mystery thrill ride.
You also have the Detective and Police woman who are investigating the murder of one of the twins which adds a great layer to the book through their interrogations and investigative questioning of many of the characters in this book.
It is a multi-layered, well written novel you will be thrown into and will have you guessing at times what will happen next and what did happen. It is a perfect blend of narcissism within characters, a blend of trying to decide who did what, and what will happen in the end.
