Very emotional
This is such a heart wrenching story. As someone who has been through something similar albeit at an older age, this really rang true. It's a very stark and honest book about grief, very well written with a very relatable main character. It is pretty short, maybe too short but this doesn't detract from tbe story and considering the subject matter, it is fairly predictable. The ending really made me cry, it deals with the subject matter in such an elegant way.

Entertaining Sci-Fi film
A really good film that feels low budget but with blockbuster SFX. I didn't realise at first from the trailers it was a hand-held cam, POV film and this is handled very well with the kids abilities! Really good effects as they become stronger with their powers. Only downside the film is far too short at 77mins, the end felt kinda rushed and obvious as well. Still a very enjoyable film though, while it lasts.

Hit and Miss Comedy show
A quirky sex comedy featuring a divorced Mum who keeps a Spreadsheet of her sexual encounters with the help of a work colleague. Set in Australia, only 8 episodes and they tend to only be around 25 minutes long. Can be very funny at times but a few slow episodes. The lead actress is funny though. If you need short length episodes to pass the time, it's OK.
