Third instalment in the 'Night at the Museum' series, which ends on a poignant note with Robin Williams last (ever) on-screen film appearance - obviously not known at the time they would be such - when his Teddy Roosevelt says "Smile, my boy. It's Sunrise".

Anyway, this film sees most of the cast/museum exhibits travelling across to the British Museum, when the ancient Egyptian tablet that causes said exhibits to come to life mysteriously starts decaying, resulting in a race against time to first find out why and then to reverse the process.

I could maybe do without the Rebel Wilson character in the film - like Ricky Gervais character, I just find her annoying (and that's a reflection the characters, rather than the actors), whilst some of the jokes were a bit too slapstick for my taste.

Did enjoy the Hugh Jackman cameo, though!

This is a short novella which introduces you to the Amber Druids, an ancient race of both men and women who each have their own intrinsic gifts.

Liana and Traven are two Amber Druids who are both living in New Orleans. Liana is a restauranteur and Traven is a P.I. They meet again when Liana has a meeting with a person that Traven is following. They have known each other for 50 years but each of them thought that nothing would ever happen, for their own reasons. This is a short, passionate, love story that I have enjoyed and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This novella is enough to give you a taste - and leave you wanting more - of the Amber Druids. I want to know more about them!

My favourite book of the month was The Night Shift by Alex Finlay this was just such a good book I loved it from start to finish! Also The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides it was a close race between the two for book of the month.

My least favourite was Marked by the Alpha it was just one of those in your face wham bam mating done!

My DNFS were a little high this month I just couldn’t get on with the 4 and I’m a great believer in not reading something just for the sake of it.
