This was such a touching story!
Anna’s Secret was a good story that made me feel like I walked away from it having genuinely learned something. The characters and their backgrounds were fed to us little by little, making it seem natural and conversational. Although both characters make some not so good choices, they do end up admitting their wrongs and being the better for them in the end. I personally loved Anna’s strength, and courage through some difficult times, and I think she handled her decisions both good and bad to the best of her ability. I think her mistakes really emphasized how we need to rely on God for all things and not our own strength. Matthew was also an interesting character and I enjoyed getting to know him. He led me on a journey of discovering the love of the true Father, making mistakes and owning up to them and learning to really trust people. Overall, I thought he complimented Anna very well. The plot was a true back and forth friends to enemies’ book, with some unique twist and turns throughout the storyline. This is my first time reading a book by Blossom Turner and I really liked her writing style.
I truly think that this book is a great reminder of lessons we need to keep with us on a daily basis. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative theme, the wonderful lessons, and the message of the gospel. I recommend reading this book.

Once I got over my surprise that this was not a story set in Asia and featured no dragons, I quite enjoyed myself. It feels like a long while since I heard a 5th Doctor pure historical, (not true, this being the era of Peri and Erimem, but still) and like Peri, I kept waiting for that supernatural element to appear. We are talking about Dracula, after all. But nope. Just a wonderful straightforward historical with some great performances. I tire a bit of the "let's throw Erimem to the lusty bad guy trope" but other than that, high marks. For more on this, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

holy wow.. this was amazing.. It does have a cliffhanger for an ending so if you don't like those you may want to stay away.. but honestly the 3rd one is out so it's not like you have to keep it a cliffhanger lol. These two are just simply amazing.. I love romeo.. and how much he loves rim.. i love rimmel.. and how much she stays true to herself while trying to change just a little bit. they are amazing.. and zach is a bad guy that annoys me yet i find intriquing right now lol. Very good story and I'm off to start the next book :D
I had never heard about this true crime cases till I come upon Ann Marie Ackermann most excellent book. The story begins in the German town of Bonnigheim in the year 1835 where the town is left shocked by the assassination of its most respected citizen it's mayor. The reader follows the twists and turns of the muder investigation as a killer is searched for.
Eventually the investigation leads to the other side of the world and to one of Americans most respected Civil War heroes General Robert E Lee. The author has produced an excellent well researched study of the case and I would highly recommend this to other readers .

Alexia oh how I love thee
Alexia is a true heroine and independant woman! I love her sense of adventure and fashion. She is spunky, sassy and intelligent showing that u dont have to be in the cookie cutter mold to be attractive to a guy like Lord Maccon. They are such a good pair together and compliment each other great. The character development Ms. Carriger gives to each and every character even down to the kind of shoes they had on, or sometimes lack there of is extraordinary. This new story line of the super-natural is superb.

Great comedy and plenty of gags, a heartwarming story with a perfectly set tone and plenty of Christmas joy, this is a Christmas classic.

Ok
Contains spoilers, click to show
This movie was just "ok" across the board-the acting, cinematography, story. Nothing flashy or anything about it. It played out well enough and kept me interested to the end. True crime fans will enjoy this low budget drama/thriller about a girl who gets caught up in some small town crime by getting lost on a bank country road. It was listed under horror, but there's really nothing "horror" about it. The main character is a pretty smart woman so her survival isn't exactly surprising. If you're looking for a decent movie to keep you occupied on a rainy day this one is worth a watch.

Thunder buddies
When John (Wahlberg) was a little boy, he wish that Ted (MacFarlane), his best friend and teddy bear could talk, which came true.
Thirty years later, F-bomb dropping Ted is still John's best friend, much to the dislike of Lori (Kunis), John's girlfriend.
Though Lori's displeasure is fuelled by the pair's constant consumption of beer and weed, she's not the one who's most disappointed with John; it may take the intervention of a teddy bear to make the boy become a man.
Hilarious story, although the plot is a little weak - this movie does not disappoint, an oddly grounded take on growing up.
