Good introduction to the world of Josephine Tey
I enjoyed this novel about the fictional life of a real person, Josephine Tey. This is the first novel in the series by Nicola Upson and I had previously read the fourth book as a standalone and I think that may have clouded my view a little on this book as I already knew what happened to the characters later on. I think if I was reading this novel first it would have been a lot more gripping. As it was, it was still an enjoyable mystery.

Movie Rating Watch
First things first, Zac Efron is great in the role of Bundy. He plays his role excellently.

I wasn't too sure about watching this movie to be honest, but I actually thought it was a very good movie.

It didn't play up very much to the whole Bundy being 'attractive' etc but did give a very good insight to how 'charming' and persuasive he was.

The ending shows a list of Bundy's known victims and shows footage of the real Bundy. He was clearly a very manipulative and dangerous person.

I highly recommend this movie

Book Favorite

"The first time I read this book it transported me back to my early Catholic days on the South Side of Chicago, when the nuns put forth a model of Christ as a kind of superhero, whose superpower was love, defined as his ability to look with affection at anyone and everyone, no exceptions. Morrison models that capability here in this great novel, and reminds us that the first move in any assessment of a person or notion should be sympathy, based on the reality of our grand mutual suffering."

I fell in love with this book on the first few pages. I was attached to the characters quickly and was intrigued to hear their story. The ending did disappoint me slightly, but the rest of the book was superb. Definitely recommend even if your not a historical fiction person.

Finally played it for the first time yesterday.... meh
It's a co-op, which leads to quarterbacking (one person telling everyone else what to do), everyone has a special power, so that part was good. movement is difficult, which I guess is the point. This is a tough game easy to get overwhelmed and lose quickly. Glad I tried it, it's just not for me personally.

I want to try this game, too. I am a fluffy bunny type who prefers positive games, not killing and destroying things in games, and as a former emergency medical technician who prefers fighting for the greater good, this game seems like my jam.

I've played a similar game online and agree that games like these are difficult to win. There are so many ways for vector to spread, it's nearly impossible to contain and eliminate them.

It was really difficult for me to settle on a rating for this book, y'all. The twist was clever, granted, but I kind of figured it out in the first book. And I didn't think the writing dealt with it consistently. But it was a fast read, and I'm sure I'm older than the target audience, so maybe I'm not the best person to be judging.
