Christmas + Suspense = Count me in!

I am a sucker for a fast paced, action packed, Christmas story and boy does Mary Alford deliver it in spades with this book. From the first page to the last I was enthralled by the plot, the characters, and the Christmas theme. While a little over the dramatic (not very dramatic, just a few instances that fit well with the story line), I enjoyed the characters struggles and the underlying message of God being able to forgive all our sins no matter how big or small. Definitely a good read and Mary Alford is a new to me author that I will look for in the future.

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Just a spot of evening reading of Half The World by Joe Abercrombie. I hope to finish it by the 20th of December and a review up by the 21st, just in time for Christmas.

New trailer for Mary Poppins Returns! I'm liking the look of this, should make for a good fun family cinema trip this Christmas! What does everyone else think?

I'm looking forward to it. I love Lin-Manuel Miranda. He's a brilliant, dynamic genius and can't wait to see him in this movie. Emily Blunt, Emily Mortimer, Angela Lansbury, Julie Waters, and Meryl Streep are a dream team. Dick Van Dyke is always a delight. I like Cokin Firth, as well. Though he was a character in rom-com and dramas at the beginning of his career, Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia Here We Go Again really brought him out of his shell, so while not the best singer in the world, he gives it a good go. Even though I have no children of my own, I might go to see this in the theater.

Boring

Fluff piece

This book could’ve been a modern day (boring) story of a family celebrating Christmas. The fact it has faeries in it is neither here nor there. Very disappointing.

Beautiful!

I loved the colours in this movie. So vivid and so cheerful. The Nutcracker is, and will always stay a favourite Christmas fairytale of mine, and this version did not disappoint me at all.
