Vegas (725 KP) rated Klondike: Quest For Gold in TV
Mar 10, 2019
Having found this randomly, I wasn't sure what it would be like, but wasn't disappointed, although I didn't warm to many of the guys involved and found them quite selfish and not overly pleasant but it helped to show how difficult it could be to make the journey back during the gold rush and what months as a group could be like.
It was a relively easy and informative 4 episode watch, through some amazing scenery....

This book is made to hit you in the feels and keep you emotional through the whole journey. The author does a fantastic job representing cultures and people that aren't prominent in books and I need more. I need more women who aren't afraid to please themselves, boys who fall for boys and girls, and most importantly I need more Jewish representation. It is all here in this wonderful book and anyone who needs a trip down emotion lane should pick it up!

The Mutant Saga Begins
So begins my journey in rewatching the entire X-men series in glorious 4K.
Though it may be 19 years old this movie is still as exhilarating today as it was then,from the special effects to the performances of mckellen and stewart as the leaders of the two different groups of mutants.This film paved the way for so many of the superhero movies we love today (namely the MCU)

Eastwood plays the grizzled veteran boxing coach and Hilary Swank as the determined wanna be that he keeps at arms length somewhat similar to the Karate Kid.
He finally relents and they become very close as she improves and the journey to greatness begins, it's an engrossing story well told and has the ability to tap into a range of emotions as it unfolds, and if you have a dry eye at the end then check your pulse, you may be dead!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2466 KP) rated If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A creative progression story that starts with a simple act of kindness, giving a mouse a cookie. From there, however, things progress until they loop back around.
The book is simple but filled with great illustrations. And the journey is so creative. I missed this book until I read it with my niece and found it absolutely charming.

Sequal as good as the original
Nazarian’s sequal to Qualify is a fascinating look at a journey through space for the teenagers who qualified to escape Earth and travel to Atlantis. The novel provides more character development for the mysterious prince of Atlantis. The writings ebbs and flows with the excitement of special events and the monotony of space, which is appropriate for the setting. The world of the spaceship the characters are in is well fleshed out and unique.

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.

On my journey to read more science fiction books I stumbled upon this one. The story itself was interesting and had some cool twists to it that I was not expecting. It was definitely one of those stories where I kept guessing at the answers to the mystery as I was slowly fed more and more information about the situation. It was a fun read but I don’t know if I am intrigued enough by the characters to keep reading this series.
Brilliantly 3D, complex but completely loveable characters (2 more)
Great backstories
Mix of hilarity and all the feels
Utter Work of Genius!
An absolutely brilliant show of epic proportions. I loved the characters, their histories, their journey, the feels, the laughter, the crying, the utter complexity of what makes Minchin and Alcock just so blumming fabulous. I loved their random friendship and how much they meant to each other. Just brilliant.

Romantic!
Everyone loves a romantic up-to-date film, this didn't fail! With the confusion of a young girl who finally has a boyfriend only to not understand her feelings towards an old flame, although if it was my choice it would have been Peter Kavinsky all along. But going through her confusing journey this amazing young actress drags you in to feel everything she is feeling, couldn't have played the role any better. As always a happy ending. Worth the watch!
