Album Favorite

"When I was growing up, I heard a lot of compilation albums being played by my parents. One of these was Abba Gold. That got me into the band. In the end, it was tough to choose between Arrival and Voulez-Vous, which came out three years later. There are two reasons why Arrival wins out. “Firstly, ever since The Darkness got into a position where we needed an intro, we’ve used the song Arrival itself. So, I hear it every night, and it’s become a part of my life. Secondly, there’s a helicopter on the album cover. That’s cool in itself. But what I recently had done was a photo with myself, my wife, my child and dog put into the cover shot in place of the band, all of us standing by the helicopter. That has pride of place in my lounge"

Tissues definitely needed
Contains spoilers, click to show
The story follows 17 year old Katie as she battles with a life threatening illness Xeroderma pigmentosum. XP means she can not be exposed to sunlight or it can be fatal.
Growing up, Katie falls in love with a boy called Charlie who would pass by her house every day and one day whilst playing a song at the train station they finally meet face to face and hit off straight away.
The story revolves around teenage love whilst battling this disease, but after staying out with Charlie until early hours in the morning and becoming exposed to the slightest bit of sunlight, Katie's health begins to deteriorate until she eventually passes away.
As a lover of romantic movies I really enjoyed this movie. Cried like a baby at the end though, so I definitely recommend being prepared with tissues at the ready.

Enchanting afternoon read

Oh my! A magical story without a fairytale ending.....well, not a classic happy ever after at least.
    Once Upon a Broken Sky is a mix of childlike wonder, manipulation, growing up fast, magic, illusion and so much more.
    I think I was a bit slow working out who some of the characters were before their life at Grimmfay but it made so much sense when I realised and things fell into place.
    I like that it mirrors real life slightly, in that one situation is replaced with another that appears to be better but actually isn't. I can't explain it as you seriously need to read this and find out for yourself.
    I'd recommend this for teenagers and above, partly as there would be a better understanding of the story and partly for some great talking points that create awareness for real life.
