Okay - given the Love & Gelato book and it's one of my fav reads during the month I read it - I had super high hopes for this book, and it sort of let me down. I like the fact that it gives you a bunch of Irish facts within the book, I couldn't get enough of those parts of the book - the rest was just overall a slow read, I don't know if I just didn't like that nothing truly happened (until near the end). The concept was sweet broken hearts mending but i just wanted more than I got. Still a great adorable read and I'm glad I read it!

fantastic third book in the series
This is the third book in this series by this author.This is the final book in this series. Wow, what a final book, I just couldn't put this book down. This is darker and more intense than the other two books. This series can not be read as stand alone reads, they must be read in order. This is a dark romance read with an element that is beautiful interwoven in the story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended series

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

I read this book to my sons when they were of an age to appreciate it. We all enjoyed it, especially as we all made a weekly pilgrimage to the local library on a Saturday to swap our read books for fresh reads.

Colfer takes a classic tale of the plucky heroes pitted against an evil villain (in this case the titular librarian) and had a great deal of fun with it. It is an easy read, funny and engaging and enough jokes aimed at younger children and adults for it not to be a chore for parents to read. And of course a great introduction to the author.

Pip pip Hooray!
As chick lit goes you could do worse than this. Basically it’s the trials and tribulations of a modern love story involving a clown called Pip and an accountant named Zac. Totally predictable but also somehow comforting like a cwtch under a warm blanket on a cold day.

In some parts you want to shake the pair of them. I cried at some parts (I know!!! Anyone who reads my reviews knows that this isn’t unknown!!!) but I did enjoy the book very much. If you wants a well written, heartwarming piece of fluff, this is the one.

So I finished an awesome paranormal two books so far series, [b:Captive|30830592|Captive|Jex Lane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1467474117s/30830592.jpg|51425133] and [b:Sire|32721063|Sire|Jex Lane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1477076298s/32721063.jpg|52587454] and hunted for something to read similar and noticed that pretty much all my kindle books were contemporary romances. Then I decided to scour Amazon for new paranormal reads and this was a freebie!!

I am so glad I downloaded it! I loved pretty much everything about it. It had vampires, romance, action, sexual tension... and then a little shocker at the end!

I really need to read the rest of this trilogy!

Movie Favorite

"I was also introduced to Michael Powell’s work during film school, and this one particularly blew my mind. I love when all the kids rush into the theater at the beginning to get good seats in the balcony. A title comes on-screen that reads, “45 minutes later,” but the shot never cuts or changes. From that point on, I knew I was in good hands. This film taught me that silent-film techniques could, and probably should, be employed in modern sound films. It has taken me several projects of my own to incorporate this lesson, but I’m getting there. I also love films about artists and the creative process."
