Great cast who love their roles (0 more)
A wonky storyline that feels more like a filler to get to the next movie (0 more)
The magic doesn't quite ring true in this one
This film just doesn't seem to have the magic we've all come to know and love from the Harry Potter Verse. While the cast is great in their roles, the story just falls flat. It's attempts to have too many twists without delivering on any of them

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a story about a single dad falling in love. You will fall in love with the characters as you read. This book has lots of romance with some well placed suspense to keep you reading. A fantastic holiday/beach read book. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed and advance reader copy of this book

This was something wonderful. I teach us about friendship and forgiving. It also about finding a missing child. It show what the Amish do for each person or children even neighbor's children. It show the difference in English world and their world. I just love the story and plot behind it. This is the third in this series. I still need to read book number 2. I recommend this book those that love Amish or Beverley Lewis.
  
I love fairy tales, and I love Doctor Who, so this book was absolutely perfect. It's also a wonderful combination of retold familiar tales and original stories that are in the vein of fairy tales.

I found it fun that in most stories, I could clearly identify which Doctor was appearing in that story. I also appreciated that he is often not the main character.

It was so much fun to read that it was over far too quickly.

Awesome
I absolutely loved this book. I found the characters fascinating, complex and believable. I genuinely couldn't predict which way the story was going to go and I love the fact that it was set in a kind of steampunk Victorian England setting. I especially enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Mori's clockwork. I get that this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of novel but I definitely loved it.

"Oh, you know what I love? I’m going to give you one of my holiday movies that I love, that I can’t stop watching. It goes on marathon every year. That’s A Christmas Story. That’s like on marathon all damn day. And I’ve watched that movie ten times. My favorite scene is when the dogs run in there and eat that damn turkey, man. I tell you, I’m in hysterics, man. That is one of my favorite movies."

I absolutely love Erin Morgensterns writing, I just don't know how she comes up with these wonderful concepts. I loved the Night Circus but I must say this was even better. The concept was so clever and I really fell in love with the characters even the bad guys. I didn't see the ending coming and finished the book feeling numb.

"I love stories of survival and I love strong men. This is one man’s story of surviving in Antartica when he lost everyone and everything and still managed to make it back to his ship under the worst possible conditions and elements. What he survived, what he endured, and his will to live are themes I’ll never get tired of learning about. We have always lived among great people, but it’s an essential reminder that there are superior beings."

Why am I always sent flying towards "bad boys" I swear to god I have a problem! Biancia is cynical,rather angry and sarcastic I love her! Wesley is big headed,irritating,and more or less a twat. I love him too.
      This is a story of things not always turning out the way you expect them to,and having to pick up the pieces along the way.
      Im going now because I have to dream about Wesley :)
