Diverse songs which are occasionally dramatically different
Fantastical and otherwordly experience
It took me a few full listens of the album to love each and every song. Marceline was the first song I listened to and I completely adored it, often describing it to friends with Florence and the Machine type vocals against Lorde instrumentals. But the rest of the album is vastly different and experimental. I love the imagery in Willow's lyrics and the flexibility of her voice and songs. Vocally she is incredibly talented and her songs feel very organic and personal. Overal I love this album but some tracks will be hit and miss with some listeners.

"Warning: This book has some mature content.

Honestly, though I liked the summary, I didn't really know what I was getting into. By the end, I came to the conclusion that in short, this was about Katniss Everdeen thrown into Beauty and the Beast with fairies. (If any of you have already read the book... am I wrong?)

That comparison may not sound very appealing, but it worked. Maas created intriguing characters and put them in a mysteriously wonderful fantasy world. The characters were complex and I liked seeing their different personalities. My personal favorites were Lucien and Rhys."

Dumbledore's commentaries (1 more)
Simplistic and engaging illustrations
Re-igniting my love for Dumbledore
This is a quick read that not only provides wizarding 'fairy tales' but also provides insight into these works through the addition of commentary by Dumbledore. Through this commentary it appears as if Dumbledore is writing specifically to the reader, which develops a strong personal connection with the short novel. Rowling's decision to include commentary via a well known wizard in this universe creates an engaging read where deeper understanding of the tales can occur. As well as this, the illustrations used throughout are an engaging addition to the text, influencing its overall appeal and consolidating that this is a book of 'fairy tales'.

Keeps track of what you read and your own personal reviews (0 more)
I love Goodreads since it allows me to track my goals, see who is reading what and what I read. I also enjoy being able to see if I liked a book or not. Nothing like deciding to reread a book only to remember that you hated it. I fully enjoy how easy this app is and how useful it can be when making a list of must reads. Knowing what I want to read, what I feel I need to read and what I have already read, has helped me keep on track with my annual goal of reading 100 books

Compelling story
Jessica Chastain
If you lived in the USA after 9/11, the fact that Osama bin Laden was alive was like an open wound. Many Americans felt like there would never be closure to the events at the World Trade Center until he was brought to justice.

The sheer persistence of the CIA and the Justice Department in never giving up even after years of trying to hunt him down and tragedy within their own ranks is a testament to American will, drive and ambition.


Whatever your personal feelings on torture, this film walks the line of being objective and lets the viewer draw their own conclusions.


Very compelling film.
