Book Divas (227 KP) rated All the Rage in Books
Dec 12, 2017
My fiance bought this book for me last year and I finally had the chance to read it. Wow.... he sure has a knack for finding some good reads for me. This book has it all from hateful teens to disturbing revelations and the story is so captivating that I read it all in one day as I could not and would not put the book down. Highly recommend this book and I will definitely read more of this author's books.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2082 KP) rated A Pocket for Corduroy in Books

One day while at the laundromat, teddy bear Corduroy decides he needs a pocket. His search for one introduces him to some strange new things. Can he find a pocket? Will Lisa be able to find him?
Even as a kid, I liked this book more than Corduroy’s first adventure. I think it’s because of the creativity. We know what Corduroy finds along his way, but his explanations for them are creative, logical, and fun. The illustrations capture the book perfectly, and will please kids and parents alike. This is one all ages can enjoy.

Loved the creepy, tense, out of place feel from the main character's perspective (1 more)
Lots of deeper messages and metaphors to look out for
Modern day Stepford Wives with one hell of a twist
Great Movie! Not at all what I expected. The comedy was well timed and helped to lighten the otherwise extremely uncomfortable atmosphere (which I loved).

Epic Action
This movie is a modern day action classic. Once the action starts it is non stop and keeps you wanting more.
The authenticity of the character and his abilities really brings you into the movie and Keanu Reeves absolute owns the character.
It is a must watch for any action fans out there and one of my favourite movies.

Martial Magic ( Society 13)
By Mason Sabre
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In this world, the Humans rule … everyone else must fall in-line. An instalment in the Society Series. Crystal’s magic was fading, but Jason needed her for one last job. When Crystal closed her school for the day, she never expected to be woken to a wolf in the middle of the night. Someone had given away her seeker status, and now, Jason needed her more than ever … But at what cost? Her magical pot of power is already at an all time low. One more mission, one more drain, and she’d become nothing. Except … Jason … something is different, something more than she ever expected to find, and now the unlikely must trust each other. It’s the only way they’ll survive.
Another fab book in this series! We are now finding more characters and their stories. Nice to have a little visit with Cade too. This is just another case of crossed so working together and how horrid humans really are!

Gooey Christmas Romance!
I really needed this style of book to kick my reading slump and man oh man! Did this book satisfy every need!!
I originally picked up Merry Inkmas for a buddy read, where I was only supposed to read four chapters a day. I ended up not being able to put down this steamy romance! I blew through it within a days time. And must I say, this was one heck of a read.

Fabulous story with a killer cliffhanger ending!?
Fabulous story with a killer cliffhanger ending!? My first book by this author and I will SURELY be back for more! Greer is the sister of well-known millionaire and has never quite gotten over the "on who got away," Cav. Stood up by him three years ago, she has yet to let it go and after a huge drunken mistake that went viral, he shows up on her doorstep. No longer the maintenance man she met years ago in a coffee shot, he's one of the hottest and newest upcoming actors, feeling much more worthy of a woman like her. But there is something more.... something that he is keeping from her, the very reason he walked away from the one woman who he never forgot... Absolutely LOVED this book and will be impatiently waiting for the conclusion in Dirty Love!! HIGHLY recommended! one day read- didn't want to put it down!?

Amazingly magial
This film blew me away, it takes me a while usually to get emotional over a film. But not this one. Every song in the film is so powerful and will leave you close to tears (especially 'This Is Me') it shows that you should accept and love who you are no matter what you look like and the more you care for a person the more they can be your family no matter the background. I'd recommend to everyone any day
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Santa's Countdown to Christmas: 24 Days of Stories in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Advent calendars have changed a great deal over the past 40 years, they've been the traditional Christian images depicting the story of the season, to ones containing sweet and then even to have candles, beer and a range of consumerisms finest. More recently, a trend of giving a book a day for advent has been doing the rounds, a great, if expensive, idea. This book put that all in one book with a story a day for advent. The language used in the book is engaging and supportive of good reading. It promotes the good things about the holiday season and encourages youngsters to give without thought of receiving. A real book to be read with and to the whole family, a book for all ages.
Nick Beaty (70 KP) rated Happy Death Day 2U (2019) in Movies
Dec 19, 2019 (Updated Dec 19, 2019)
Slightly disappointed...
I think it was inevitable that this one would struggle to live up to the surprise success of the first movie. I really wanted to like it, as I did genuinely enjoy the first installment but couldn't help feel slightly disappointed this time around.
For me it felt like the movie lost it's way early on. Where Happy Death Day knew exactly what it was (very much a comedy slasher) This time out we lose the slasher aspect after about 15 minutes for a more scientific take on events, trying to explain what caused the Groundhog Day effect in the first film.
The writing felt lazier this time around, with the multiverse angle being used for the millionth time and some of the dialogue and jokes coming across as cringe worthy and incredibly corny in places.
Overall it's no big surprise that they tried to cash in on the first movie but for me sometimes less is more and on this occasion, I think I'd prefer to remember Happy Death Day as the comedy slasher it was supposed to be in the first place.
