The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

Out of this entire series thus far this is my favorite book. The author has entwined vampiric and Valkyrie mythology to bring us the explosive tale of two amazing warriors who are destined for one another. This read is a powerhouse of action and romance and I had an extremely difficult time putting this one down. I love the direction the author took with this story and I give it five stars!!!

The Clone Wars movie was basically just an extension of the TV series which I didn't watch much of, but it was decent. It makes me wonder if other Star Wars TV movies would do well.

I would love to see animated adaptations of the Timothy Zahn novels, but that probably will not happen.


This Clone Wars film can still be enjoyed by Star Wars fans young and old.

I love this franchise so I'm a little bit bias. The main story might be lacking, but there's so much to do, you'll end up losing days in the game world. The base building aspect I found really fun and enjoyed modding all my best weapons. Us the DLC was really enjoyable I loved the world they created with Far Harbor.
  
Normally, I love journalists writing non-fiction, but this was awful. I was completely annoyed reading this book, thank god it was a short one. It tells the story of the 'last hermit', and the guy was just not likeable nor compelling. By midway, I didn't care why he decided to be a hermit. That's when I should have stopped reading. But, I didn't. Overall: woof. I'm never reading anything by Finkel ever again.

What can I even say about this book without spoilers? It hurt me to put this book down and go to work while I was reading it. Nonstop, heart pounding plot twists that you could never predict.
Absolutely amazing book that built on the story and characters we love from the first one. Now I'm going to spend a year freaking out until the 3rd comes out.

To me this is one of the few films that doesn't seem to truly show it's age no matter when you're watching it. The script stays fresh, the soundtrack is amazing and the story is still captivating. Every time I put this on I find myself hooked to the screen, falling in love all over again.

The Lost Boys is truly still one of the best vampire movies around.

One to watch when concentrating on other things and to have something on in the background. Basic story of a unemployed middle aged man being made redundant, goes to college and falls in love. Tom Hanks plays the main character, he must have been short of money to take the part as it is way under par in comparison to his other films, or he just wanted to work with Julia Roberts.

East of the Sun, West of the Moon meets other fairy tales in this wonderfully written book. The characters were flawed and perfect. I just want to share this with everyone.
The best part was the mirror books. Why is this not real. It was so well thought out and something that I would love to explore.
Overall the romance, back story, and how it all fit together was perfect. I can't praise this enough.

The title does not do this book justice. It centers more around finding your place in the world between culture and family. The title would make you believe it is about love and breakups. I wish it had been called something else.
I feel like more people would pick up this book if it was called something else.
I enjoyed the plot and the story but it was not what I was expecting.
