The Fast franchise is getting more and more bonkers the further we get into it, but Fast 9 is an entertaining movie that is packed with action and testosterone, if you love the Fast Saga then this is certainly one you will want to see on an IMAX screen.

Sweeping Saga
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the first book of a sweeping saga that catches the reader and holds them to the very end. You will find it hard to put this book down. I won't lie, it's a slow read at the beginning while Carey builds the world upon the books are based, but it soon captures you into this world. You find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next. How one girl can go on to save a nation in peril and the loves and losses she suffers along the way. Carey builds this fantastic world full of intrigue and a bit of magic from the gods. A must read.

Beautiful lesson
A beautifully done addition to the Toy Story saga.
You always worry when they dig up old property to make a new film. Will they do it justice? Will they be true to the original? Is there really a need for another movie? Toy Story answers all these questions with a resounding YES! The original toys, along with some new additions, are brought back for a new adventure that hits all the notes that you love about the series. The laughs are there, as are the tears. A beautiful new chapter is added to the toys' saga as is the beautiful underlying lessons and morals of the story. Truly well done.

This is the 11th instalment in the saga that is Tom Thorne; a fantastic, interesting and unorthodox police officer wonderfully created by Mark Billingham and I want to thank my local library for lending me a copy at no cost :)

Final chapter in the original xmen saga?

No spoilers
This is the ultimate in what potentially serves as the final notes to the best parts of the mythology with one of the best characters. (Minus both vastly different origin story reboot attempts)

Raw, sad and great conclusion

"Pachinko is the novel I tell anyone who will listen about. It is a multigenerational, sweeping saga of Koreans in Japan. The prose is as edifying as it is absorbing. There are no easy, convenient endings for any of these characters but my goodness, how richly Min Jin Lee renders their lives."

Book Favorite

"My favorite of Flann O’Brien’s novels, although I love At-Swim-Two-Birds. Profound, haunting, mystical and utterly hilarious. The bizarre narrative is accompanied by an eccentric parallel saga about something obscure called The De Selby Codex, a red herring that gradually grows in quantity until it all but obscures the main story."

My #4Star #BookoftheMonth for August is a #YoungAdult #Dystopian #Romance "about the life of a girl with extraordinary psychic powers, and what happens when a heart is torn between love and rage." Take a look and see what I think. 😁
