I absolutely love Rosamund Hodge's writing. She somehow manages to balance beauty and darkness perfectly. It reminds me a lot of the Grimm fairy tales, but in a way, more romantic.

This is a retelling of Cinderella and has become one of my favorites. It keeps the darkness, but keeps it in some sort of fantastical world that makes it even more beautiful.

This was just a short story, but that doesn't mean I didn't absolutely love it. I need to get my hands on Crimson Bound soon. Even in this short story, Rosamund was able to fully flesh out the characters and make them completely believable. I didn't feel like the story was rushed or too drawn out. It was just right.

I would highly recommend this to people who love dark stories, fairy tale retellings, or just a good short story.

Reading Up a Storm focuses more on characters outside of the library staff than the first two novels in the series, and Lucy has a new friend in this one who is accused of murder. Of course she doesn't trust that the police will see past her friend Stephanie's apparent motive for the crime, and is soon getting herself into trouble asking questions and trying to solve the case by herself. She probably figured it out long before I did, but it was gratifying to find that the killer was the person I suspected, for once.

And for those of you who enjoy a little romance with your cozy mystery - I love where the author has taken the romantic triangle that was developing in the first two books. I can't say anything more without spoilers, but I was very pleased with the outcome.

Another Netflix winner!
Nothing to complain about in this romantic comedy, it seems I have a soft spot for the main actor Noah Centineo although he plays the same kind of character in his movies he seems to take all my attention and I'm hooked.

This film is all about a poor guy trying to save to go to Yale, he starts by taking a girl on a date in return for payment, she is a complexed funny character and they seem to hit it off. However through the movie they help eachother hook up with there own soft spots, not that it works out. The main guy sets up his own little money making business, taking girls on dates and being the person they want him to be. Qwerky film can't fault. Worth the watch
