Daughter of the Mists is an enjoyable historical fiction novel with a slip in time. In the modern day, Hanna has returned home from China to live on a farm in Norfolk, and Brea is an Iceni girl enslaved by the Romans.

I’ve read and really enjoyed a couple of Barbara Erskine novels, and Daughter of the Mists is very much in that style.

Hanna has dreamt of a girl, a slave, since she was a teenager, and when she returns to Norfolk these dreams become much more vivid. I really enjoyed how the narrative seemed to slip naturally from one time to the other. I wasn’t left wondering what was going on, or where I was in time. I found the Roman/ Iceni timeline fascinating, and there were some uncomfortable descriptions of what life was like under the Roman rule. It was also good to see that the Iceni’s had a much more liberated view of the role of women than the Romans did!

This is an ideal book for those who enjoy historical fiction, romance and a bit of time slippage!

Hopkins and Foster deliver a suspenseful thriller about a serial killer who is helping the FBI in tracking down the daughter of a US senator who has been kidnapped by and unteachable serial killer. The solo interactions between FOster and Hopkins get under your skin cause they are so dark at times. Hopkins character leaves such and impression it makes us want more and the movie does spawn 3 more movies about Hannibal Lechters life

Poignant look at how Alzheimer's affects an entire family
A wonderful but tragic look into the downward spiral of a professor with Alzheimer's through the perspective of his daughter. With short bursts of journal entries and quirky anecdotes, she documents how quickly his health deteriorates. It's bittersweet for the most part, given the nature of the subject but it is juxtaposed with the unravelling of her own life, which becomes less significant when she focuses on her father. A great read.

Literally one of my favourite Disney Pixar films
I find Monsters Inc to be on par with Toy Story. Such a heartfelt story of an almost father - daughter relationship between Sully and Boo, unlike most Disney films where there is a love interest. The voices from Billy Crystal and John Goodman are genius and the ending still makes me shed a happy tear. And I actually watched it from the beginning again straight after seeing it for the first time.

Emotional but beautiful story
The prequel to Max and Chloe's adventures, this one's a heart wrenched. It gives more depth to the first game as you realise the depth of Chloe and Rachel's relationship.

My favourite soundtrack of all the games so far, the band Daughter really help tell the story. I enjoyed the journey becoming the rebel that Chloe is in the first game.

Another heart wrenching beautiful journey.
