Bizarre
No wonder this went straight to DVD in the UK. It is a gritty, raw film with some graphic, brutal violence....as you would expect. However the film does just feel a bit of a mess overall and a big disappointment after the great 2007 remake of the original Halloween film was done so well. The visions of his Mum at least offer an idea in to Michael's mind but the film just seemed all over the place at times.

I had used another music app for many years until my mum got the family account on Spotify I reluctantly moved on to save some money! While it took me a while to get the hang of it I have come to love Spotify. It has most music on there, playlists of all genres. I lobe listening to the podcasts and there is a wide variety of them. I also love the personalised playlists it makes for me.

This book is a gripping courtroom drama about a hard-working single Mum and solicitor who is trying to juggle a demanding job and a disabled child when she gets a case that she can't let go of.
This story is so perfectly paced and engaging that, before I even realised it, I was halfway though. The absolute definition of a page turner, especially in the last few chapters and I can't wait to read some more of Ruths work.

Funny from start to finish
This Netflix show files the life of a 16year old lady and his struggles to navigate teenage life. His mum is a sex therapist and he has issues with his ability to get a girl.
Eventhough it is about teenagers I found that I could still enjoy the show as it made me laugh the things that you know all teenagers go through.
Looking forward to another series.

Peaceful place to meet mummy friends!
Peanut is a fantastic app to use of your a mum looking to meet other mums to hang out with, chat too and arrange play dates! It's perfect for seeking advice from other parents when your struggling a little and just a nice stress buster with a little bit reassurance from other mums in the same position as you are.

Book Favorite

"Most of my recent essays include a reference to Jane Austen and to my mum. I read and reread "Persuasion" for its painful rendering of love that continues in the absence of an object, and for the delicacy of its heroine’s goodness. Anne, in the sadness of what she believes to be her ruined life, can be concerned to prevent a country walk from being spoiled by her sister Mary-- a marvelous depiction of obnoxiousness. And the happy ending is delicious."

My one thought right now is: why didnt I fetch the last book with me on holiday?!?

I sped through this so easily and quickly got dragged back into the series despite it being 2 and a half years since I read the first one.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait another four or five days till I'm back home to finish the series now and see how everything plays out with Penryn, Raffe, Paige and their crazy mum.

What an ending!

I liked this more than the first, more action packed and character development. It was nice to learn more about Sophie's dad and Cal.

I am so intrigued about what's going to happen next with everything; the Council, the Brannicks, The Eye.

I'm hoping that Archer and Sophie get some sort of happy ending and that maybe Sophie's mum and dad might get together again.

Right now I'm off to hunt for Book 3 online!
