A journey into the darkness that is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

 

Wow, what a ride!!!!

After what was a considerable amount of discussion regarding this book, I finally caved and read it!!

Admittedly this was never one of my favourite genres, however this is definitely one of those reads that kept me enthralled, captivated and mesmerized.

A sick and twisted, psychological thriller. A book about extremes and power-plays.

This is a journal of the human psyche, where does it begin and where will it end

We follow the jouney of Nick and Amy, their marriage, their relationships with eachother and those around them.

The relationship they develop with the reader, as they weave their masterful hand at gamesmanship.

 

Have a look around you, and ask yourself this:

"Do I really know you?"

Jellybird by Lezanne Clannachan

It's been a while since I can honestly say I have picked up a book worth reading. Well  I was quite pleased with myself when I came across Jellybird written by Lezanne Clannachan.

Written in the third person, the story begins to lay bare the relationships of, young jewellery designer, Jessica

We see the layers peel away as we come face to face with Jessica's past, her first love and a gruesome murder.We are baffled by the enigmatic Libby and her craving to be a part of Jessica's almost perfect life.

So.......does our past make us or can it break us? And if we start looking back, does that mean we are escaping something in the present?

This is a great read, gritty with lots of secrets coming to the surface.
 The pace kept me up all night.......just one more page and lights out!!

Live Cartoon Fun!

Today was school holiday StoryTime and like every school holidays the kids came in droves and a fun time was had by all. About 80 children attended and they all made themselves heard as they contributed to the collective story telling that was 'Live Cartoon Fun!'.

The kids came up with some fun plot twists for todays 'crowd sourced' live story writing. Our hero dressed in camoflage and high heels ventured into the jungle to find a monkey, a crocodile and Indiana Jones who alas disappeared over a waterfall.

Then all of a sudden an alien space craft beamed down an alien that had five eyes and a set of both wheels and tentacles. There was nothing to fear howe...ver because a huge python swallowed the alien whole.

Having survived the jungle our hero was lead down a tunnel by the monkey to a underground cave where a glorious treasure was waiting - a solid gold steamroller, encrusted with diamonds and rubies pulling a trailer filled with chocolate blocks the size of matresses. Triumphant our hero rolled out of the jungle and promised to write to the monkey on every anniversary of their adventure.
