Masterpiece
There is little I can say that has not already been said about The Lord of the Rings. It is an epic story of friendship, love, betrayal, war and essentially a coming of age journey. Middle earth and all its inhabitants come alive in your hands...you are transported to a world in chaos, a world of change where nothing is certain. Battle with dwarfs and elves, fight along side men who are impossibly brave and flawed and cry as the tiniest of people carry the biggest of burdens.
This book and the subsequent movies based on the world have been well quoted and are almost inbedded in British culture.
I envy those who haven't read them yet..you have a fantastic journey ahead. It will not be easy (this is not light reading) but it will be more than worth it. Enjoy, and give the elves my love.

Book Rating
[Station Eleven] is a literary tale of the end of civilization. Unlike most of the novels about the post apocalyptic world [Emily St. John Mandel] weaves a story built of relationships. It would compare to a futuristic [Canterbury Tales] as it tells the tales of the survivors in this one band and their journey.

Book Rating
Body positivity has reached new heights lately, but Ashley Graham has been fighting to be seen as a plus size model for years. Her journey from Nebraska to Sports Illustrated cover is bumpy, relatable, and honest. It's not the best memoir I've ever read, but Ashley Graham is inspiring and positive. It's a good read.

Nice and easy read!
Nice, easy psychological thriller. I ended up guessing who the "masked man" was pretty early in the book but I enjoyed following Emma's journey in trying to remember the events of that fateful night.
4 out of 5 ?

Made me cry
Absolutely fascinating and beautiful book to read. I ended up googling some of the facts after reading as couldn't believe it could be true. A completely harrowing and emotional journey in to the concentration camps. Loved it (although prepare yourself as it's very gruesome at times).

Beautiful story

Well worth a watch for the imagery alone. They could of gone for an easy predictable story but they have used some less obvious twists. You get a feel for the characters as you follow them through the journey as you stay with them throughout.
