It has been a while now since I read it, but Good Omens was a book I had absolutely devoured in no time at all. I watched the 6 episode series when it first came out and then knew I had to read the book. The hubby was the opposite: he had read the book [...]
A few months ago we saw Heathers: The Musical. Based on the cult film Heathers, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, I had never actually seen the film so didn't really know what to expect from this musical. Set in a 1980's American high school, Veronica Sawyer dreams of being popular and manages to join the [...]
When there are nine Last year the hubby was reading the same books by the same authors. In an attempt to get out of his comfort zone, I encouraged him to read more female authors. When he then asked me how many, I was reminded of the Notorious RBG when she was asked how many [...]

Raw. Cold and raw. That's how I felt after finishing this installment of the trilogy. I devoured it, listening at every moment I could on Scribd. So much change. So much distress. So much pain in this book. Yet it is so powerful, I would gladly read / listen to it again - though maybe after [...]
Just finished reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. This is the first book I've read in a long time where I felt I needed to read the next one straight away. And that's what happened: I'm onto Mockingjay already. I finally upgraded my old Nokia and now have a smart phone, more on that later, [...]
