Tiffany Reisz Jeg elsker dig.

This was amazing, It made me laugh and cry. I wanted to devour it and savour it.

All of these books and the short stories are written so beautifully and you can't help but fall in love with the characters.

Some of the one liners in this book had me laughing out loud.

'Can I lose my watch in you?'

So typical of Kinsley, poor young Nora had know idea what it meant at first and it never fails to make me laugh.

Only problem now is having to wait for the next one.

A nice read with the action starting from the very first page when Marilee crashes her hot air balloon into Coles pool. I love the banter between them and there's quite a spark from the beginning but this book was written in the 80's and there is where it should have stayed. If its going to be re-released it should have had a modern revamp. This book has left me wanting... (bit like Marilee!) I'm sure if you brought it into the 'New Adult' genre it could be a 3.5 to 4 stars but sadly its a 2 for me.

Oh man, I did not think I was going to like this book as much as I did. First off, I love dragons. They're some of my favorite mythical creatures so naturally this book intrigued me. I have to say, I really loved this book. The characters were strong & I could easily relate to them. Isabella was a fun character to watch grow. Her tenacity was admirable & I kept rooting for her. The plot was unique & kept me guessing which I really appreciated.

All in all, I loved the character growth & I will definitely continue on in this series.

Iris lives a life with everything orderly and controlled. An anonymous gift turns out to be a sick piece of artwork which leads Iris into danger. Can a neighbor and his dog help her find love, comfort, and the ability to trust again?

As with the first book in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Loved this book
Unlike most of Sarah Dessens books Once and For All isn't about first love. Its about what comes after. I really enjoyed the flash backs that slowly showed the reader Louna's past. In general the book is about Louna as she moves forward in life, so it was nice to see how her past played such an important role. Louna is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen characters, and her friendship with Ambrose had me smiling throughout the book. This is definitely a must read for anyone who is a fan of young adult romance.

A rabbit hole you must fall into
A friend sent me this book and from the first page I was captured.
It’s a spider web of characters that I want to follow.
It’s a world that invited me in and I’m hoping to stay permanently.
The plot weaves a tantalising invitation that begs you to stay within its pages.
People aren’t who they seem and things aren’t what they seem.
Ink is an unsung masterpiece
I couldn’t love it more

fab read
This is the second book in this series by this author. This is such an amazing story, so beautifully written with such emotions in every word. You need to read the first book in this series to fully understand the story between the characters. This book has mystery,drama, action and lots of tension. Amazing wellwritten characters, you will fall in love from the start. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.



Highly recommended series

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Superb animation
Great music
Amazing amazing film!!!! Not enough people have seen it. I watched it first as a kid and Alan Rickman's antagonist fish scared the life out of me. It wasn't until I was that bit older that I was able to watch the film all the way through. The music is very catchy and as the film progresses it's very easy to become invested in the characters. Love, family, loyalty, bravery, friendship and a touch of magic. 10/10 would recommend for everyone who likes films that are a bit different.

Quite faffy to find books (0 more)
I love this app. It's great that you can download tracks to listen to offline. It pauses if you get an incoming call. It remembers where you paused so you can come back to it easily. I also like that you can change the reading speed as at first I found it too slow. I'm so chuffed that my library is a part of this. I do find it a bit faffy to find books. Especially foreign language books (of which I'm still to find)

LOVED IT!!!!!
Found this on Netflix and gave it a try. I was hooked after the first episode and binge watched all the way through. I love the thoughts from Joe's head giving reasonings for killing and kidnapping.... the way it comes across I often found myself thinking "I can see his point" and found myself rooting for the bad guy.....not sure what this says about me🤣🤔. Definitely worth a watch and I will be re-watching.
