The Book Thief (2013)

Movie Rating

Oh my goodness, the acting performances in this film are simply amazing, especially Sophie Nelisse who plays Liesel. I was simply blown away by her, utterly mesmerising. I have read the book but that was many years ago and so only have a very vague recollection of what happened. The movie is not rushed so may be deemed slow by some watchers but I thought it was perfect. It allows you to absorb everything. Heart-warming and a seemingly truthful tale of life during wartime.

Book Favorite

"There aren’t many authors who can get me invested in a one-night stand right off the bat, but this book was real and raw enough to make it work. Written solely from the hero’s point of view, Trashed follows an ex-con gang member trying to get back on his feet as he develops feelings for the prickly chef he works for. Sexy, funny, heart-warming and intensely romantic, this book is one of my all-time faves. In fact, I adore this whole series."

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last. This book can be read as a stand alone read. This is a heart warming story of two people finding each other and their love for each other. The characters are really well written and have fantastic chemistry between them. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2293 KP) rated Bundle of Trouble (A Maternal Instincts Mystery, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Just as she is going into labor, Kate Connolly learns her brother-in-law, George, is missing and may be a murder victim. While trying to juggle becoming a mother, Kate also tries to learn what is really going on with George. I found the scenes between mother and baby heart warming and the plot intriguing. I didn't want to put it down, and can't wait to read the next one.

This book is an enjoyable, 'heart'- warming story about dealing with learning to live a 'normal' life after not knowing whether you were going to have a life at all. It also touches on the very important subject of organ donation being opt-out instead of opt-in, which is a very important cause. All in all, an easy read that covers all bases - family, love, friendships, health, grief. I found the back and forth between past, future, blog, news reports a bit confusong at times, but not enough to detract from the book.

Wonderful book

I see that a lot of people are confused by the ending don't let it put you off the story is lovely and heart warming and teaches an important lesson that we're never as weak and powerless as we think we are.
It was certainly a strange novel to read but that only made it more interesting even though for me it was a step outside my usual comfort zone.
The characters are well fleshed out and developed well through out the story line.
