Sex Education Season 1

Otis (Asa Butterfield) may seem like your typical socially awkward high school student except that he lives with his mum Jean (Gillian Anderson) who is sex therapist. When social outcast and bad girl Maeve (Emma Mackey) find out about this she decides they are going to set up an underground sex therapy service for the students of their school, Otis agrees hoping the boost his popularity.

This show has a large story line that runs through all the episodes, but each episode is its own story focusing in on different students and their problems.
The script is funny and down to earth and the casting is phenomenal. The whole show has a slight 80's vibe to it but could quite easily be in modern day life as well.
I am so glad they have decided that this show is worthy of a second season and I can't wait to see what they do with it.

Movie Rating

Engaging and humane look at what has always been a byword for fruitcake pseudoscience, and more specifically the people who promote these theories. Quite sensibly the film doesn't bother trying to explain to Flat Earth adherents why their beliefs are incorrect, but examines their culture from a not-unsympathetic sociological and psychological point of view; as a result the Flat Earthers are elegantly given more than enough rope to debunk themselves.

Still, with some of the personalities involved, the film can't help but be entertaining, and it does make some important points about the dangerous results of excluding and isolating people, and the importance of education rather than mockery. Has already been denounced as a hatchet job by people in the Flat Earth community, but then you could probably have guessed that. Highly entertaining and thought-provoking; possibly worth watching just for the scenes showing the reactions of Flat Earthers when their painstaking experiments to prove the world has no curvature predictably give the opposite result. You can't win 'em all, guys.

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated Unimaginable: What Our World Would Be Like Without Christianity in Books

Mar 5, 2019

What would our world be like without Christianity? Jeremiah J. Johnston has taken time to write his thoughts about this. A world without Christianity would be a very dark place to be.

In his book, he looks at how Christianity has stood against the wrongs of slavery, racism, eugenics, and injustices toward women and children. How democracy, freedom and a whole value, and modern education and the legal systems all owe a lot to Christianity.

In his research, Mr. Johnston takes us back through church history and we explore what was and if we aren't careful what can be again.

This is a very thoroughly researched book, full of insight and leaves the reader thankful for Christianity.

I would recommend this book to read. It is informative and eye-opening.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Ten Cents a Pound in Books

Jun 18, 2018

Ten Cents a Pound by Nhung N. Tran-Davies is a short, poetic, back-and-forth conversation between a mother and daughter. This is the story of a unnamed young girl whose mother is working hard so that her daughter may have a better life. It tells many stories within the pages that are filled with heart warming illustrations. It is the story of a mother's love, of hope, determination, a child's love and concern for her mother and for the giving of each, so that they may both be safe, and happy.
The book simultaneously draws attention to the difficulties of living with low wages, while optimistically looking forward to the opportunities and possibilities of the future due to education.
The lovely illustrations are both realistic and wistful, and while this story may require some additional explanations for young children, it paints a beautiful picture of determination and potential.

I received a ARC from Second Story Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I give this book 4/5 stars.
