Another incerdible Jack Reacher story!
Read my first Jack Reacher story by Lee Child and was hooked! Die Trying is book #2 in the series and even if read out of order these books will keep you hooked from page one. Every book is action-packed and as with every series, I love reading and being familiar with the characters and Jack's surely a guy leading an interesting life!? highly recommended book & series!

A very good love story with fine acting. Some seem to question the whole time travel side of it a bit too much and it may confuse some. It's a great story and quite similar to Sandra Bullock's other recent film Premonition.
If you can ignore or get your head around the time travel theory of using information in the present to change the past etc then you will enjoy this romantic movie!

I have watched this film many times over and still am not bored with it. I'm not usually big on romance films but I loved the whole concept of this.

I LOVE this.
I got it in a Goodreads giveaway, was really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.
A charming story about Pug's adventure, a fun plotline with great humour, and surrounded with wonderful illustrations.
Now to pass on to my 9 and 7 yr old as I know they will like the story, and could easily read it by themselves.
I'll be looking out for future books.

Not one of the best...
One of the worst, if not the worst game in the Resident Evil franchise.

The story of the game is good, and introduced the franchise's love of ships, but due to the terrible design of the game, it is almost impossible to progress within the game.

One plus though, due to the awkward game design, it keeps the tension of the other games!

Masterpiece
A great movie with great actors. Actors owned their characters. Isn't easy to believe that this is just a movie, and not some medieval documentary. A great story about a very important journey. Be prepared to embark on it with our characters, because it's very long. It has something to laugh about, something to cry about, something to think about. Story about trust, honor, friendship and love with a lot of fighting scenes.

A retelling of Aladdin that is in no way near the original story. And that is ok! This story follows Aladdin and his love as they search for a way to be together through all odds.
I really enjoyed that this wasn't like any Aladdin book I have ever read. I have read most of the other books by this author and always love how characters pop up from the other stories. This one was different in the way that you felt more for Aladdin. He wants to be able to provide, to show that he can take care of Kirstyn. In the end this book has all the romance, swooning, and love that all her other books do. A solid addition to a non-series that I can't wait to add to my collection.

Movie Favorite

"I had the great privilege of working on the sets of Fellini’s Satyricon and Roma. Fellini is for me one of the greatest of all filmmakers—he embraced life with his unique vision and genius. La strada, made in 1954, is the poetic and very moving story of a poor young woman who becomes a clown in a tiny, two-person circus. Her name is Gelsomina. A brutish gypsy, Zampanò, buys Gelsomina from her mother and takes her on the road with him. He trains her to be a clown. She falls in love with him even though he is abusive and cruel. What transpires is a tragic love story with the background of a magical traveling circus. This film surely influenced my interest in and love of the circus."

Truly magical
This book is truly magical.
The characters are so beautifully crafted that you will fall in love with each and every one of them.
As I read this story I felt as though I had entered a dream where I was falling more and more in love with each word I devoured.
The three siblings at the centre of this book are desperate for love but a curse of threatens to ruin everything.
I fell so deeply in love with these people that heart became their hearts.
The writing stops being words on a page and it’s becomes something your eyes are seeing for themselves.

I Love a Book is done well. I love the pictures and it keeps me fantastic. Young Children would love looking at the pictures for hours. It would keep them to turning the page. The story is sweet as well. I believe it rhymes and make it more of a poem for parts of it.

The author does a wonderfully with it. It also might about the author when he was a young boy. You have young children that love books will this book talk about books throughout. It great for readers and parents but also for children that want learn about books a bit as well.
