Merissa (12950 KP) rated Wrapped With A Bow: Nine Holiday Short Stories as Unique as Snowflakes in Books
May 8, 2023
In this anthology, there are some great stories, and some not-so-great stories, but on the whole, it is a sentimental and wholesome collection of seasonal stories to give you a warm glow over the festive period.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this anthology to all fans of contemporary sweet romance,

More than Comics ( Chasing the Dream 2)
By Elizabeth Briggs
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've been in love with Tara long before I became a famous rock star. We talk every day. We know everything about each other. But we've never met in person.
Until now.
Four days at Comic-Con together might change everything between us. She can never know how I feel about her. I won't ruin our friendship. I can't.
But I can't resist her either. And after one hot, unforgettable night together she sees me as more than her best friend too.
Can our online relationship turn into a real life romance? Or will it destroy our friendship forever?
This was sweet, loving the Comic-Con fun mixed in too pretty easy going read. Not much more I can really say.

I finally caught up to it on a recent flight and I have to admit - I was wrong for skipping this film JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE is a fun romp with The Rock ably filling the lead role, aided by a strong supporting cast.
JUMANJI was about a board came come to life. JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE has the same board game that morphs itself into a video game and when 4 High Schoolers stumble across it while serving detention, well...comedy - and adventure - ensue.
The four high schoolers are typical THE BREAKFAST CLUB stereotypes. The nerdy boy, the hot girl, the jock boy and the dorky girl. When these four are transported into the game they take on the outward appearance - and skills - of their video game characters - the nerdy body becomes the dashing hero (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). The hot girl becomes the dumpy (male!) professor (Jack Black). The jock becomes the un-athletic short kid (Kevin Hart) and the dorky girl becomes the kick-ass girl (Karen Gillan). It is the 4 actors playing their high school counterparts in their bodies that is the core of this film - and the center of the charm and fun of this film. All 4 shine. Johnson and Hart (back together after CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE) show that the chemistry they showed with each other in the previous film is no fluke. Gillan (Nebula in the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY films) shows that she can do kick-ass well - and with a wink in her eye. But it is the performance of Black that steals things. Someone said to me that Black was made to play a "hot high school girl" and I would have to agree. He almost steals the movie.
Director Jake Kasdan (the TV series NEW GIRL) understands what kind of film that he is making, so keeps the fun and action going at a superficial, almost cartoon level, never really stopping to breathe (or to think). He keeps things light - and family friendly - with just enough "almost" dirty jokes to keep young and old alike interested. It earns - but never crosses the line - of it's PG-13 rating. There is talk of a sequel, and I, for one, am looking forward to it.

The storyline was pretty decent, but the best thing was the range of different COs that each had their own CO skill which did things such as heal their units or improve their strength
Multiplayer games could also be played in hot-seat mode as well as with a link cable, meaning that everyone can play without having to own the game or any of the equipment.
I genuinely cannot think of a bad thing about this game. One of the all time greats
