Jurassic World

I went to see this film with my family a few days ago and we all loved it. After really enjoying the first film, but being a bit 'meh' towards the other two, I wasn't sure I was going to like the new one, but I did; the acting was good, so was the plot and the dinosaurs looked really realistic. The one thing I loved about all three of the previous films was the subtly humour in them and this addition to the franchise definately keep up that tradition! It had me laughing out loud as well as

A Redo

A Redo (Book 6 in the Sterling Shore Series), by C.M. Owens   Blurb:   Allie Thrash Wren Prize is the asshole who got me pregnant seven years ago. And gave me a false name. And walked out of the hotel without a backward glance. Sure, I know I wanted to have sex just as much as he did, but I didn't want to be tossed aside like garbage the second it was done. I also wasn't planning to get pregnant. Now, after seven years of hating the jerk, I'm living in his city, because it's a small world and I

Hyper Japan

Yesterday I went to the Hyper Japan Festival at the O2 in London. I went with my family and we all had great fun. Since I travelled around Japan last year, I really wanted to share some of the food I tried with them, like Takoyaki (octopus balls), Taiyaki (a Japanese confectionary with red bean paste inside), Gyoza (Japanese dumplings) and my personal favourite Onigiri (rice balls). They weren't all as tasty as I remebered them, but then I've found things rarely live up to memeory! We also tried

In The Miso Soup

  In The Miso Soup, by Ryu Murakami   Blurb:   It's just before New Year, and Frank, an overweight American tourist, has hired Kenji to take him on a guided tour of Tokyo's nightlife. But Frank's behaviour is so odd that Kenji begins to entertain a horrible suspicion: his client may in fact have murderous desires. Although Kenji is far from innocent himself, he unwillingly descends with Frank into an inferno of evil, from which only his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Jun, can possibly save him.

The Longest Ride Film

I went to see the film today after finishing the book last week. Basically, it was great. A really good romance with good acting and a great story. I don't want to say too much, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but - as with most of Nicholas Sparks' books - the story made a great film. I'll definately be pre-ordering it on DVD, it's a film I could watch over and over again. They picked the actors perfectly in my opinion and the scenes between them were sweet

The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister

The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister, by George R.R. Martin, Illustrated by Jonty Clark     Tyrion Lannister is one of my favourite characters in A Game of Thrones (though I admit I have yet to read the whole series) mainly just because I love the sarcasm! Add in my love of quotes and when I saw this book I just had to get it. Especially since the Kindle version was only 99p.   It was a short, quick read and not as amusing as I'd thought it would be, but there were still a few quotes that had
