David McK (3562 KP) rated Get Smart (2008) in Movies
Sep 20, 2020
Big screen remake of an old 60s TV series, that was actually better than I was expecting!
Starring Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Terence Stamsp (with support from the likes of Terry Crews, and a cameo from Bill Murray), this was more deadpan than I (vaguely) remember (I wasn't around in the 60s, and only caught a few episodes on repeat), although I did pick up on a few of the call backs in the movie to said series.

Its been a few years since I read books 1, 1.5 and 2 in this series so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get into it but I did. I enjoyed reading more of the Black Falcons members romances. I liked Trip and Holly and the storyline was different to a lot of other rock star books.
It would be nice to finish the series with Tyke's book to see who manages to capture his attention and heart.

3.5 stars.
I'm undecided on whether I liked this one as much as the last, but I don't think I did.]
I was still caught up in the story and everything but it didn't go where I expected it to and now I can't help wondering what the end game of the series will be. Who is she going to end up with in the end?<br/><br/>I'll be waiting a bit impatiently for the third book in the series.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated World After in Books
Jan 12, 2021
My one thought right now is: why didnt I fetch the last book with me on holiday?!?
I sped through this so easily and quickly got dragged back into the series despite it being 2 and a half years since I read the first one.
Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait another four or five days till I'm back home to finish the series now and see how everything plays out with Penryn, Raffe, Paige and their crazy mum.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Thread of Death (Elemental Assassin, #5.5) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
This is the first novella I've read in this series and I liked that despite how short it is that we still got to see Gin kicking arse.
Mab's funeral takes place in this and you'd expect it to be a rather sedate affair, right? WRONG! Two attacks in such a short story and seeing it all happen from three different viewpoints was an interesting angle for it to happen.
I'm expecting good things from the next book in the series now.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Eternity (David de Morrissey, #4) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
As mentioned in my review of the third book in this series, its been a long time between books 1 and 2 and books 3 and 4 and my tastes have changed/improved in the years between.
I'm sure if I'd have read these books in the 90's I would have loved them but the series is almost older than me (26) so terms like vampiress seem really outdated.
Nevertheless, I do like that everyone got what they wanted in the end.

One of the greats.
I've been in love with Greys Anatomy for years, seen all of the series, and have watched some fav episodes over and over. Shonda Rhimes is an extremely talented writer. This series is definetly one you'll want to commit too.
Following the life of Meredith Grey, her friendships, loves, becoming surgeon, it'll have you on so many highs and lows you'll become glued.
