Best friends are there for each other through thick and thin. You trust them with your life. At least that's what Emma, Daisy, Leanne and Al think. But all that changes when they embark on a trip of a lifetime together. When they return home, only two of them are left alive and the group has been torn apart by lies and deception. Many years later, when the dust has settled and life has moved on, one girl receives a threatening letter. Someone knows the truth about what happened on that holiday and will stop at nothing to expose it.
  
Nice heart warming story
Romantic comedies are not my usual read but I felt like a change. And I'm very glad I gave it a try, it was a very easy read as it was full of good scene setting description character build ups and an interesting back story too. Well worth the read, even if you're not a romcom reader.

The story is about Katy who is a wedding photographer with her own business who was left struggling after a family betrayal. Katy learns to trust and eventually love again. There are ups and downs that keep you glued to the book from beginning to end!
  
This was a found read. It also got my emotions for what a surprising ending as well. Dylan and Annie have to struggle with their past to get though. Though Annie is more worried about her sister and nephew more so then what really is bothering her.

Though it all though they do find somethings. I suggest if you pick this one up you get some tissues. It reach the value of true love and having faith and letting go. Annie as though things needing to learn though out the book. Dylan need to learn somethings though most of it is Annie needing to learn to trust as well.
  
The author transport's you straight into life of Freddy the 18th century aristocrat who has fallen from grace and been disowned by his family. Freddy is alone and without a friend till the mysterious Joseph Black comes along and takes him to his home The Hangman's Hitch. Here he meets a host of characters including the loveable Mary who sings and dancers to entertain the inns visiters. But don't be fooled by the idealistic description the devil what's Freddys soul and he can't trust anyone he meets. To find out if Freddy can save his soul I highly recommend you read The Hangman's Hitch.

One of the best B movies of all time
I first saw this film as a midnight movie (back when those were a thing) when I worked at the cinema. I would pop in occasionally to check on the crowd and I was always amazed at what I saw and how much the audience was getting into it and laughing hysterically.

This is one of those films you can't explain to someone without it sounds utterly idiotic, but is just a lot of fun with some good horror thrown in.

Trust me when I say you will love it!

Beautiful story
Contains spoilers, click to show
A lovely tale of love, loss and recovery. The story follows Lauras pursuit to fulfil a friend's dying wish while dealing with her own past and learning to trust in herself and others again.
It's a delightful little read with lots of mini tales written by one of the characters about the 'lost things' he has collected over the years.
I truly enjoyed the idea that all the little things that get misplaced over the years have been collected and are just waiting to be reunited with thier owner.
However the idea of the ghost in the house spoiled it slightly

I was very leery of this film, after The Last Jedi, I don't trust anything Rian Johnson touches. But, I can't resist a locked-house-esque mystery.
The whole 'murder' is fairly straightforward, and it's 'explained' early on. Though, it's baffling to me, because in the end, the final act was indeed what it was first perceived as.
The cast was pretty good, but the political discussions could have been cut out. It would have been a stronger movie without all of that.
Was it easy to figure out? Relatively, if you follow your gut, you're right about who was the 'culprit'.
Entertaining, but I never need to see it again.
