It Continues...
Our favorite characters continue their journey. In this book I must say Arya is my favorite. She shows her true Stark strength unlike her sister whom Im beginning to get annoyed by. As the game of thrones is played characters are starting to bud into true players. Some who dont want to play the game find themselves thrust into it.

Martin does get a little wordy in this book but the plotline thickens and its worth the read. Like the other two books I couldnt put it down. My copy was just called A Storm of Swords with no other title.

Julia is determined to find out before the strain of the situation tears her friend’s family apart. Julia uses both her brain and her astrological charts to help her track down a killer. Full of suspects and secrets, All Signs Point to Murder is a quick-paced, suspenseful, and entertaining mystery.

I was hoping for more. (0 more)
So much potential...
I read this book as it was recommended for those who enjoyed the book Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The story had all the elements of a book I should love - fantasy, adventure, a challenge, a bit of romance, but I did not enjoy the book as I thought I would. I world Garber attempted to create wasn't fully developed. Where she tried to exude mystery and intrigue felt more like plot holes and underdeveloped ideas. The characters made extreme choices that didn't feel realistic, specifically the protagonist's sister. Overall, the book fell flat for me. It has all the potential in the world, but it fizzled.

Ice hockey and smut what’s bad about that? Violet, accountant and step sister to a professional NHL hockey player is dragged along to see a game and meets eyes with Alex. What follows is a delightfully funny, dirty journey through lust into love.
Knowing the reputation of the hockey players Violet tries to resist the MC, but suffers from a lapse in sensibility, and ends up tumbling in bed with Waters.
Waters is not exactly portrayed by the media in a good way, and he has some poor advice to manage too. Puck bunny or long term relationship??
Absolutely hilarious dialogue, well written and the write length, I look forward to reading more...

Good movie. Recommend for believers and non-believers alike.
This movie was a pleasant surprise. Ending up watching it on a whim with my sister who loves any movie based on a true story. And, yes, while the film is very heavy-handed with the religious propaganda, it's understandable given the film's circumstances. Truly a very emotionally gripping story led by a truly outstanding performance by Chrissy Metz. Seriously, she carries the film and acts her butt off. The rest of the surprisingly all-star cast play their role well. Would definitely recommend for believers and non-believers alike.

This is a real mind bending,brain teasing movie that I wasnt to sure about after reading some negative reviews but I'm glad I ignored them as this was a great little film.
A Los Angeles detective discovers his brother,sister in law and niece gunned down and murder.A little while after he starts getting phone calls from his dead niece,how can she still be alive?.After a while he realises that she is calling from the past and the murders havent happened yet.Can he help prevent them from happening at all.

This was a clever little film,not the usual stuff you expect from blumhouse pictures.Definitely worth watching.
