David McK (3705 KP) rated Paddington in Peru (2024) in Movies

Apr 13, 2025 (Updated Apr 13, 2025)

3rd entry in the Paddington film series, although I felt this lacked a certain Je Ne Sai Qua (sp?) in relation to the previous two - I don't know whether that is because they took the bear out of London, or the (glossed over) recasting of Mrs Brown or what, but it just didn't feel as fresh as those previous films.

Antonio Banderas and Olivia Coleman are good value for money, as always, though!

Merissa (13770 KP) rated Finding Joy Street (Love Is In The Cards #1) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

Finding Joy Street isn't your normal, run-of-the-mill, contemporary romance. What you get is a helluva lot more than what you see. Cali Blue gives across the impression of being permanently positive and "practically perfect in every way". However, she is dealing with a whole lot more than what she allows people to see, and this also influences her career of choice. When she meets London for the first time, sparks fly, but not in the way you expect. If I remember correctly, a "prick in a nice suit" is one description of him. However, he gets under Cali's skin and not always in a bad way. When she needs help, he is there unconditionally.

I thoroughly enjoyed how these two got to know each other, figuring out the puzzle of what makes Cali/London Cali/London! The attraction is there, and it does yo-yo for a while, but Melissa Belle allows their relationship to grow way beyond just a quick romp.

If I had one 'bad' thing to say it would be that the place names being names got a bit old, but consider that just one of my personal quirks. About the story itself, I can give nothing bad. It deals with some major issues in a sensitive and sympathetic way, without glamorising or playing the victim card.

Extremely well written, and a joy to read, I look forward to more from The Tarot Series. Definitely recommended.
