A great unknown masked hero
Set in a universes where Britain rules all and disease has destroyed alot of people including a rare virus where people were experimented on for a vaccine our rare hero emerges as one of the ones who survied the testing. He is geared towards taking down all the culprits behind the testing and the current British rule. Our heroine is a girl who wants to fight but needs to know why is at one point shown the way through a very harsh manor. This movie is very underrated and some of the fight scenes are great.

Sweet tale, fluffy though some disturbing themes
I rather enjoyed this tale of back and forth letters between a journalist, her friends and the people on the island of Guernsey. It is lighthearted for the most part, though it describes the harrowing story of Elizabeth who was taken to a concentration camp during WWII and never returns. But the story centres around the main journalist who falls in love with the people and the island, and how she attempts to write an honest book about them. There's not much else to it, but it's a nice easy read.

Magical
So much detail
The Begining
This is the start of a magical journey. Once you start reading, you won't stop until you've read all 7 and watched all 8 movies. It has so much details. So many people can relate to characters with real life problems from PTSD, Anxiety, ETC and people can relate to the emotions you read about from embarrassment, jealousy and sadness.
Once you're hooked, most of your bank account gets emptied. There's so many add on books, movies and other types of merchandise you can buy.

Get your team to guess words or phrases on a stack of cards.


The first round is like catchphrase, because you can say anything other than the actual word to get people to guess it.

The second round is like password, because you only get to say one word to get your team to guess. However, you are using the same cards as before, so everyone knows the possible answers,

The third round is charades, and you must act out the words, again using the same cards everyone knows.

Interesting storyline every episode
Excellent acting
From someone who doesn’t usually like medical dramas, I absolutely adore this show! It has more of a focus on the people side of things than the medical side of things (which is possibly why I like it so much!). A lot happens in each episode and to put that in perspective, everything in the trailer I watched for the show was in the first episode. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who likes exploring relationships between characters, not just people who like medical shows!

This was in no way what I was expecting. The plot followed two people who weren't alike faking a relationship for charity. What starts as a one sided hate fest turns into something more.
I enjoyed the sweet side of the story and the fact that some prejudice the Sarah had seems to disappear the more she realizes not all people are the same. In the beginning I didn't really enjoy the fact she generalized sports players as being dumb.
Overall a sweet read that keeps you smiling throughout.

Thank you for allowing me to read an early copy on NetGalley

Great Family Fun Game
A brilliant strategy game suitable for people of all ages and abilities. Have played with many people, family and friends with many going on to purchase the game themselves. Easy to set up and the aim of the game is straightforward. A well built game with a sturdy board and strong solid tiles, a game that will survive even the most reckless and be enjoyed for many years.

The story continues! I love this series. Maine is still trying to find bits of the mask, the demon/ God seems to be happy with his possession regarding how much control he’s taking - it has become more symbiotic.
We are taken to a refugee island, and the little fox discovers where all her people are.
I’m wondering what exactly the cat is up to though. The fox is wanted for something by his people, but he doesn’t seem to want to hand him over. I think his allegiance might be changing.
And the end is rather explosive - what will happen next?!
