I was slightly nervous when I started reading this book as I adored the first one however I was slightly disappointed when I read the second one as I didn’t find it as good. But it was brilliant!! I was thrilled to find that it was as good as the first one.I love JoJo Moyes writing style, I find myself laughing out loud at Louisa’s funny thoughts. It was a enjoyable lighthearted easy read - I would recommend.

Ian McEwan | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"McEwan’s razor-sharp descriptions of human emotion always hit me hard, and I find this to be the most haunting and heartbreaking of his books. A father looks up in the grocery store and realizes his four-year-old missing; the search for her destroys his marriage and his life. I’m a huge fan of McEwan’s—my first feature was based on his short story “First Love, Last Rites,”—but this is the one that stays with me."

The Dead Are Back!
More or less the same as the first Dead Island game. There are some minor tweets and improvements but after 10 minutes of playing you'll struggle to distinguish between the two games. Not that that is an issue for me as I love Dead Island's game play. Solid, addictive and (occasionally) scary, this is a great game. Just don't be expecting any fancy upgrades from the first and you won't be disappointed.

Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is an all-out action-packed, crazy and in parts bloody movie, if you loved the first film you are going to love this one, but if you weren’t a fan then it’s probably not going to be for you. If you’ve not seen the Hitman’s Bodyguard then check that out first so that you know the characters and if you enjoy that, then go see this one and check it out in IMAX.

Loved it then love it now

This is the first book I ever read and fell in love with; I was 8 and having trouble in school reading because "The Oxford Reading Tree" was boring me to years. My father was at his wits end because he know once I had a book I loved I would become an avid reader and, he was right. I love the detail and the way King grips you from the first page. He creates an image of a small town that could very well be your own and poisons the very blood running through it's veins. King chooses an easy target, children, and turns them into the warrior hero that saves not only themselves but the town itself. Utterly terrifying but a book that you have to continue reading until the very end. A classic.

Dirty Secret is the story of Allie and Vaughn. A light hearted and entertaining story of love. I enjoyed reading the combination of love and sport. Kelly added to my love of Hockey, and I appreciated the inclusion of the locker room banter.

From one memorable night, and a long remembered teenage crush, to a story of love, passion and secrets which change everything. Reading the perspective of Allie, always putting her brother first, it was wonderful to see her take something for herself, and seeing the change in Vaughn from his attitude on the ice, to his warmth with Allie.

Definitely worth the read and the five stars in my opinion.

Some Like It Hot (1959)
1959 | Classics, Comedy, Drama

"I should do something that’s a little more contemporary, maybe. Some Like It Hot. Marilyn Monroe in that film was one of my first memories of film. That’s why I love it. I remember watching it when I was really young and singing along. Well, those are really artistic choices, but I also love modern films. I love Chaplin films, and I love French films… But off the top of my head, those are the five. It’s quite a pretentious list in hindsight. [laughs] I mean, they’re not my favorites; I could go on for ten hours. That was just off the top of my head. But I’ve never been good with favorites."
