Merissa (14198 KP) rated The Witching Pen (The Witching Pen Novellas, #1) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

This is the full length story of Elena and Karl and it starts when Karl is 27. For a long time, Elena and Karl have kept their relationship purely platonic due to circumstances "beyond their control" but things are about to change.

This story is full of action, romance, drama and suspense. You find out little snippets as you read along and the characters are built up. There is no insta-love in this book, just a deep and true friendship that could always have been something more if things had been different.

Absolutely brilliant and an ending which definitely makes you reach for the next book in the series!

Beautiful, insightful and funny

This was recommended to me by a friend and isn’t something I would usually read, however I am so glad that I did.

Although the back story is dark, the main concept is beautiful, about friendship and love.

It was such an easy read, I struggled to put it down as I just wanted to find out more about he main character, Eleanor.
My interpretation was that it was a fantastic insight into the viewpoint of someone with a behaviour/social issues, a strong message that we shouldn’t judge if someone is different, as we don’t know what they may be dealing with.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Green Book (2018) in Movies

Green Book. It breaks my heart that such a book ever had to be printed, as it was a list of safe places for African-Americans to stay and eat at while vacationing. The movie takes us on the true story road trip of Dr. Don Shirley, a world class pianist, who hires a Tony Lip to be his driver and bodyguard while touring in the south in the early 1960's. The movie drives us through the racial tensions of the time which leads to some tense situations, but we also get plenty of laughs watching the making of a life long friendship between Doc and Tony.
