Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Just Remember to Breathe (Thompson Sisters, #3) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

Yeah... I wasnt impressed with this at all but i persevered and finished it.

The family unit was just...strange--at least Alex's parent's were anyway. Do people really react like that? Her sisters were okay but also a little wooden. The secondary characters also didn't really sit well with me.

It could all do with the fact that I'm really into reading my urban fantasy/paranormal romance books right now and deviated off track since I'm starting to run low, but i just don't think I was in the right headspace for contemporary romances.

It didn't draw me in and i was continually bored throughout.

Bad Day

Falling Down- is a excellent drama. It has suspense, thrills and mystery. Micheal Douglas is excellent in this.

The plot: A middle-aged man dealing with both unemployment and divorce, William Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a bad day. When his car breaks down on a Los Angeles highway, he leaves his vehicle and begins a trek across the city to attend his daughter's birthday party. As he makes his way through the urban landscape, William's frustration and bitterness become more evident, resulting in violent encounters with various people, including a vengeful gang and a dutiful veteran cop (Robert Duvall).

Its a excellent film and recordmend watching it.

Movie Favorite

"Agnès Varda’s New Wave masterpiece about a famous singer/fashion model who abandons her blond wig and rediscovers her identity on the streets of Paris is jam-packed with vivid detail, an expressive graphic style, and an eye for urban chaos, and is at least as engaging and inventive as Breathless and The 400 Blows. While waiting for this film to enter its rightful place in the canon of great movies, buy it now and enjoy its distinctly up-to-date sensibility. More than forty years after it was made, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a perfect movie for our times, digging beneath the surface of fashion and celebrity culture."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Hunt is On (The Patroness, #2) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

The Patroness' story continues in this one and we see the return of Kylian. The heat is still there between them and we have a few hot scenes. I'm loving the build up between them and cant wait for book three because I've heard some good things from the author in relation to these two.

The plotline was just as engaging in this as the first and we see more characters join and some of our favourites return as we go on another exciting journey through the streets of Paris.

This is a must if you want to find a new name in urban fantasy.
