A fitting final part
There's no getting around it, this book and it's religious plot is completely bonkers, but fortunately in a good way. This final part works very well, it flits between the views of major characters with ease, all interesting their own way. It's good to see Lyra mature, and to see more of some characters that were sadly minor/missing in The Subtle Knife.
My only criticism would be that the ending seemed maybe slightly disappointing after the build up over 3 books. I'm interested to see how this is rectified in the new Book of Dust trilogy.

The Ghost Never Really Came Out Her Shell, But She Showed Us A Great Time In The Shell
I do like this film, i would not rush to watch it again however. I feel this is a one time watch enjoyment, not the kind of film you can watch on repeat.
It was very dramatic and powerful with great scenes, but something was missing.

If your not watching you are seriously missing out.
Game of Thrones is one of those few shows that seriously lives up to all the hype, while it can drag on a bit at times which is to be expected when you have so many main characters, not all of which you like or care about you do get an amazing story that while massive is really fun to watch.
For me, the standout for the show is the costumes they are all so breathtakingly designed and unique to the shows world I could watch this show just to watch the costumes.

Hard to follow
Tough
I took quite a while to finish this book, I had to have a couple of breaks from it. I'm not sure if it's because it's quite old and the style of writing is hard to understand but I found this quite hard to follow. It seems to jump from characters and there's alot of quotation marks missing when needed, again this may be because the book itself was written a long time ago. The actual story is amazing and Oskar risked his entire life to save so many people.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated A Christmas Baby (Rogues Club, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
A nice close to the Rogue series, if, and I hate be redundant, a bit unoriginal. The characters were nice, there were some funny moments, and the plot was good, but it didn't touch me like other romances do. However, I did like the whole Christmas thing at the end, it was cute if rather saccharine.
One of my main problems was that this series must have the worst editors. In all four books there are missing quotation marks, sentences that aren't clear, and misspelled/or forgotten words. I would hope that these would be minimal.

Invaluable to running my store
I have been using this app ever since i opened my etsy store last year.
It has helped me to keep on top of orders, easily view upcoming dispatch dates and quickly view what funds are available for transfer.
The app is updated regularly and additional features are added. However, the kerching sound that is supposed to happen when an order comes through has been missing for some time following a previous update.

Mar 9, 2018
Turing Hopper is the first sentient Artificial Intelligence Personality. The only person who knows the truth is her creator, but when he goes missing, Turing does what she can to track him down, pulling in two additional humans to be her legs.
The creativity in this book is wonderful. Turing is such a human character you can't help but love her, and the author makes great use of the characters to tell an unique story. Definitely worth tracking down.

Mar 9, 2018
It's two weeks before Evan's wedding, and he's focusing on the family dynamics this is unleashing. Then a young woman goes missing, and Evan gets involved in the hunt. Can he find her and keep peace in his family? It's always nice to visit these characters. The plot did bog down a bit in the middle, but the characters noticed and commented on the lack of progress as well. And about that point, things picked up again and raced to the finish.

An appreciated recommendation
I was told to watch this by someone one reddit, I didn't really know what I was expecting. At first I thought the acting was slightly poor and felt uneasy from the beginning but couldn't figure out way. As the movie went on things really escalated and by the end of it I was quite honestly blown away with it. I'm still not exactly sure of what happened, I may be over thinking it or missing something important. But it was a brilliant film, not for the faint hearted but not your typical gory, bloody horror.
