A Grand Man ( Mary Ann series 1)
By Catherine Cookson
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Set on Tyneside, the part of the world which Catherine Cookson knew and understood so well, this heartwarming and humorously observed book skillfully weds an authentic and unsentimentalized background to the kind of fairytale story that we all like to believe could come true and which the Mary Ann Shaughnessys of this world know to be true.
A little girls love for her Da is priceless. Catherine Cookson brings live and determination to all her books. This is the first in the Mary Ann Shaughnessy books a little girls journey in a tough environment. Love this author.

Thunder
Thundercats .... Hoooooo!!!
*sword kerching sound*
The Thundercats was a childhood favourite of mine, so when I saw this on sale (in 2025), I thought I might as well give it a go.
Pleasingly, this requires no foreknowledge of the cartoon, with this starting right at the very beginning, with the Thundercats fleeing Thundera whilst being pursued by the Mu'tants and crash-landing on 'Third Earth', to find that their leader Jago has perished in the journey and that his son 'Lion-O' hibernation pod has malfunctioned so that Lion-O is now fully grown.
They have yet to directly encounter Mumm-ra the ever-Living.
I think I'll keep an eye out for more of these.
Charlotte (184 KP) rated Timeless (Less Than Zero #4) in Books
Oct 25, 2021
A fully rounded story that literally leads you from the very beginning. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. I laughed and cried, became frustrated with both Zane and Fiona and fell in love along the way.
I always say I like the character development and Timeless is no different, it's a brilliant journey that not only shows the growth of these two fab people but highlights how their core personalities stay the same.
Definitely an adult read with a fair bit of detailed naughtiness, done in a way that shows a deep and meaningful connection between two people who clearly belong together, even though life throws so many spanners in the works.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
The film does seem to start of fairly slow before it finds its footing to bring us not only what feels like how the original movies felt, but also gives us that nostalgic feel of those days of crazy films that were purely for the entertainment value to make us laugh and Bill & Ted Face the Music certainly had me laughing and laughing a lot.
