This was one of my favourite books when I was younger.
And reading it while I'm older, its still a brilliant book.
I love the writing style with the P.O.V coming from black beauty. You feel like you're watching his life unfold from the side lines. While reading I was transported to 19th century England, and while it's just a story, its horrible to know the horrors that some horses went through.
This book will always remain one of my favourites.

This is one of those books that took me a little while to get into but it really burst to life in the middle portion. The big twist in this grabbed me as interesting and took me along for the duration despite a lack of interest in the characters.

The engaging writing really kept this book going for me despite guessing exactly what was going on way too soon to be fun.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy

Movie Favorite

"I love this movie and its revisionist style and its radical politics, but most importantly there is no more punk-rock move in cinema history than having the opening credits be the checks that you’re writing to the cast and crew. Godard—the rich-kid film nerd to end all rich-kid film nerds—gets the machinations of the motion picture “industry” better than any of us. Contempt is masterful, Weekend is a lark, Tout va bien burns everything to the ground."

I love this series so much! I'm glad Rachel continued it :)

She's done such a good job of writing a post apocalyptic world consumed by zombies, with few humans remaining, and with main characters that have managed to find love.

I still love all the characters!<br/><br/>One thing, though. Why won't Kane die?! He's crazy and unkillable (not sure that's a word but oh well) no matter what they do to him.

Looking forward to reading the next instalment!

Eerie
Talk about the hair raising goosebumps. I was so eerily captivated and enthralled with this read that I didn't realize how time had moved on without me as I devoured this book in one sitting. Even as I sit here writing this review, I continuously have to look over my shoulder as it has left me feeling like someone is watching me. Do not put off reading this book and don't make the mistake I made and read it at night.

Captains Log, Stardate 47634.44, Just finished watching a movie called Please Stand By. It was a very fun and heartwarming flick. Dakota Fanning plays an autistic girl who boldly goes on an adventure towards Paramount Pictures studio to submit her Star Trek script into a writing contest. While the script to this movie lacked the character development and conflict of the supporting cast that would have beamed it up to the next level, it was still a very enjoyable voyage.

Continuation of The One and Only Ivan
The One and Only Bob follows Bob, the dog who is friends with the gorilla Ivan from The One and Only Ivan. While it is must read if you loved Ivan, I found this one falling a little short of Ivan. That being said, the writing style is fantastic with an easy flow that will keep you turning pages. Just like Ivan, Bob teaches valuable life lessons that are good for anyone, at any age.
