Q: What is a book that has helped you get through your lowest point in life?
A: My Bible. It sounds cliche, but it's true. Since 2000, I have read my Bible every morning and it gets me through the day. It really has brought me out of the depths of despair and the lowest points in my life. It may not be for every one, but it is for me.

    Oooh, you know, I've been curious about this book, since I see it all the time at work. Jennifer Armentrout is so popular among our patrons, but not this book, for some reason, which makes me want to read it even more. I love that opening! And that 56 snippet really ups the stakes. I love the voice of this, too. I think you've convinced me to check this one out. Thanks. :3

    Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of Jennifer Armentrout, I've read one of her adult romances and it was a big disappointment for me.

    I rely on the Bible as the word of God, too. Thanks for linking me up. I went to bed early last night.

What you can't see can hurt you. Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy scientist, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding. But when her abusive ex suddenly dies, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel while she desperately tries to prove she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. 


REVIEW:
I sorta hated the beginning.
Starts outs so dark that you can't really make anything out. Hard to know what's going on if you can't see.
It doesn't take long to get light though.
Thankfully.
Man, does the story ever pick up after that. I don't remember much about the original but this one is intense. Right to the very last second too.
Sydney is badass and shows it throughout. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone thought you were o…

#Win Game of Thrones Season 8 (US/CDN)

AVAILABLE NOW!
RATED PG
425 minutes
AMAZON
In the mythical continent of Westeros, several powerful families fight for control of the Seven Kingdoms. As conflict erupts in the kingdoms of men, an ancient enemy rises once again to threaten them all. Meanwhile, the last heirs of a recently usurped dynasty plot to take back their homeland from across the Narrow Sea.
This is the eighth and final season.



REVIEW: I loved the whole series, but especially loved this season as it wrapped it all up.  There were a couple of moments that were so incredibly tragic, but also a couple moments where the most tragic things couldn't have happened to better people. Take Sussy for example. God, how I hated that woman through the whole show and couldn't wait for her to get what was coming to her. Did she get it here? You have to watch and see! This is the season where you will sit on the edge of your seat, waiting to see who will win the kingdom. Does your favorite character prevail above the others? MIne d…
