If you haven't read this yet....why?
This book is literally the most magical journey ever. No, it is probably not the best book ever written. Yes, it was written for children. Given these facts you should still give it the chance to to win your heart because the lessons of friendship, bravery and true heroism surpass the age group it was written for. The following books include acts of literary justice that are truly moving and teach that standing up for what is right, even in the face of danger or at the risk of one'e own life, is the most important thing.

I thought this book was in the middle. I liked it. I think I would understand it a little bit more if I read the second book before this one. I think it would make sense a bit more. It still good with out reading the second book in this series. I will let you decide for yourselves.

Lindsay (1818 KP) rated The Quilted Heart Omnibus (Quilted Hearts #1-3) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
I just loves series. I have already review the first book to this series. I really like learning about Civil War era. I do not know what bring it out or if it the writing. I just enjoy the story behind it. You can learn so much. Why it just a wonderful thing to see the bonds of friendship and what all can bring people together. The stories are all different but it all great to read. To me it just makes me wonder and these stories also take me back in that time era. What life might have been if I was born in that era.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Remember Me in Books
Feb 17, 2018
Noelle Winters does a good job creating a sense of suspense in [Remember Me]. The plot centers around Katy who's daughter was kidnapped three years ago. Suddenly the case is refreshed by a picture of her daughter being sent to her. The FBI sends Alex to liason with local law enforcement and the family on this case that her father originally worked. These two broken women find friendship and hope within each other.
The plot of this takes some unexpected twists. The romance is there but not the main focus. It was a really quick read with developed characters and a very steady pace.

It's a blast
I saw this yesterday in 4dx! Just the type of film to make the most of the experience. I really liked this, definitely better than The Last Jedi. It's good to see the back story of an iconic character. It ties in really well with the Star wars films as a whole with lots of references to the original 3 films. Featuring a great cast of good actors even in the small roles. Plenty of action scenes and a few surprises. It doesn't have the deepest of plots but there is enough here to keep everyone happy!
AHarvey (1 KP) rated Kill Your Darlings (2013) in Movies

Idealization vs Obsession
I thoroughly enjoyed the way they portrayed the idea of idealization turning into unnoticeable obsession. While this notion was intriguing it was also heartbreaking. The characters where not hard to fall in love with at least in my opinion because I shared such a close philosophy with them. The movie, Kill Your Darlings, questions philosophy, friendship, passion, obsession, and existence. I've never watched another movie that so outwardly expressed such dark concepts in such brilliantly philosophical undertones. I recommend this movie to those that are mature enough to not only understand it's content but also brave enough to ask the same questions and explore the answers.

I truly loved every sweetest page of Coming Home to Maple Cottage by Holly Martin.
This enchanting story is overflowing with friendship, romance, love, family and fun. It will have you making your way through a box of tissues as you read. I laughed, I cried, I was completely in love with Isla, Elliot and of course Leo!
I don’t know how I haven’t read Holly Martin before but I will be doing all I can to catch up on her full catalogue of books and all future releases too!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this novel prior to publication.

MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Perfect Liars: Perfect for fans of HBO’s hit TV series Big Little Lies in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I enjoyed Rebecca Reid’s compelling debut novel Perfect Liars.
Perfect Liars is a thoroughly satisfying character driven psychological thriller. It’s cleverly plotted and clear from the beginning, despite being paced on the slow side, that it is a compelling tale.
The characters are somewhat unlikeable in that they are typical stereotypical pretentious, entitled, self-centered women. The story is told using a dual timeline, past and present. Whilst they display a close friendship to the world it is deeply flawed.
There are certain parts of the storyline that I felt were a little too unbelievable and that is why this does not get a full five stars from me.
