I am pretty picky on my alien type romances but v vaughn is an amazing writer so I decided to try it just to see what I thought and boy am I glad I did. It was amazing and so hott. Mandy is a strong amazing woman... and all girls need/wanta Caiden in their lives. I loved their disregard for the rules.. their wanting of love and how it all comes together. Amazing story and I'm so glad I got to review it

Really dark Alice in Wonderland retelling
So I may be slightly biased since I love anything Alice and Wonderland related. But this is by far the best retelling of the original Lewis Carol story.

Disturbing and dark this book doesn't pussyfoot around some controversial subjects. However, it is able to steer away from anything crude while still being adult and gory.


This isn't a book for the faint-hearted with some wonderful but graphic descriptions. However, if you like dark and gothic definitely give this a try.

Keeps the heart of the Samurai film alive
Lovely depiction of a samurai village
Tom Cruise is quite good
Epic Scope versus a small feel.
A great modern samurai film
I didn't expect a samurai film with Tom Cruise to be any good, but this one is great. Solid casting, great story, and even great action. But with beautiful moments of quiet. Which really is the samurai way. I love the depiction of the village, with everyone perfecting their respective crafts.

I loved this book. I've only read one other from this series and it was quite some time ago but I fell straight back into the story and it's as if I'd never left (Yes that is the proper use for 'it's' Thank you Cole) I love that Cole is a stickler for the correct use for words and how he makes Sasha write her feels down in the journal. I'm just going to have to read the rest of the series again now

Atwood is the queen of thought-provoking, witty writing.

Stone Mattress is a collection of 9 stories based on old people. There is a mixed bag of characters from an author of a fantasy series to a disembodied hand that is madly in love.

All the stories in the book feature the characters looking back on their lives.

I really enjoyed the stories which had themes of romance, horror and brilliantly executed wit.

Such a classic
I love this movie. It is so cool and fun and int and really gets you wondering what really is out there. But it's an old cheesy movie with not super high quality special effects like today. You have to appreciate it from its time. Live the actors and the thing.. !

Jumper Bounces Back is the second book from Rebecca Scarberry about the lovable red ball that just can't stop having adventures. Young children will love hearing about his exploits as he searches for his owner while having a lot of fun on the way. Meanwhile parents will enjoy the depth of the story.

Scarberry gets into her stride with this book making it even better than the first. If you have young children it is a terrific book to add to your bedtime reading list.

This book was passed onto me by my mum who loved it, she read it in two days.
It took me a while to read it, and although I didn't dislike it, I didn't love it either.
I found the main character quite annoying, and to me the writing style was more like a fan fiction story than an actual book.
Also I thought the 'psychopath' was pretty tame, I didn't really find him threatening enough.
It's put me off reading more by this author.

Jump scares! So many of them! I love being scared so this film was great. I didn't think it made sense as a follow on from the first movie though. Thriller to paranormal horror is a massive jump but it kind of worked. I was more interested in the scares anyway so I didnt think about the links. They also added to Brahms' back story to make him more interesting I guess and it worked to an extent. Could have done better but I enjoyed it anyway!
