If you buy one book in October, it should be this one. MY MONTICELLO is a collection of short stories and a novella that explore race, identity, and more. Beautifully written, nuanced, and insightful, they each make you think. My introverted self found myself wishing for a book club so I could discuss these stories with others.

The eponymous novella is set in Virginia, where I live, and features a group of townspeople who must flee to Monticello after racial attacks and climate change. I wish I could describe how unsettling and good it is, but you just need to read it. It’s already been optioned for Netflix, which is awesome.

I cannot stop thinking about this book, and I also cannot recommend it enough.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway -- thank you to Goodreads and Henry Holt for my copy.

Hooked from start to finish

Lyla Oweds has managed to hook me with this rewriting of her series The Grimm Cases. I'm loving Bianca's character, she's an awesome mix of contradictions and so lovely at the same time. It was a pleasure starting to get to know Bianca and learning about who she is, what she's capable of and seeing her slowing begin blossom into her true self. Having to wait for book two is the second hardest thing for me.....after reaching the end of this one!!

I'm so happy I was given the opportunity to review this and I can't wait to get my mitts on the next book in the series! So many things are still to come to light for Bianca and for her new friends. Intriguing and gripping from the first page, love it!

Spiderman No Way Home Review
(No spoilers)

THE BEST SPIDERMAN MOVIE TILL DATE !! ❤️💚♥️

A tribute to all Spiderman fans ! 👍

Probably the best Marvel film to date!! 🤯

Won't say much here, just these words -

Goosebumps, Crazy cheering, Genuine laughs, Teary eyes(Man Up🤣) Nostalgia & Awesome!! clapclapclap

Yes, an experience I won't forget any time soon ! ♥️

I was worried about this film just been a remark of the animation Spiderman into the spider verse, as it's technically the exact same story.

Yet I find myself still trying to come to terms with the fact that literally whatever I wanted this movie to have.... was there & in fact it was way more than my expectations !! 🤯

A blockbuster for sure ace CGI fight scene and truly a masterpiece.

Ok...I'm a girl and I guess it is just amazing when females play video games. I always get friend requests while I'm playing and the guys are like "hey, you are pretty good!"

Duh! I'm a girl and I can play too! LOL!

That being said.....I love this game. I have been a COD junkie for a long long time. I have played all the games and my favorite time of year is NOV. When the new game comes out each year. This game was and is awesome. It had a few glitch issues when it first came out, but I took a break for a while (oops, a few months went by, because well, LIFE) and when I came back the gameplay is so much better. Less glitches, great new weapons, new gear. This game is one of my favorites of the COD games.

The improvements to the graphics look amazing! (2 more)
Better control system
Can be played through the Nintendo Wii
One of the best games ever... Made even better!
One of the most popular games of all time got a make-over for the GameCube in 2002. This version had much improved graphics and it looks amazing... I didn't think the GameCube could produce graphics this good. The lighting and shadow effects really brought it up to date! The sound and controls were also improved, along with some other new features.
I played this on a friends PlayStation back in the day but the first time I got to fully play this was with this version... Playing through the Nintendo Wii! Just need a memory card and a controller. Otherwise it's the awesome game we all know and love. A HD version of this update got released for the next gen consoles in 2015.
