Review - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
The imagery makes the experience magical. If only the story and acting was up to par with the art itself then I believe the movie would have surpassed expectations and even receive more praise then the last four films.

A very entertaining read. " - Petula, Goodreads

Short and entertaining - Punk by Lex Grootelaar
This coming-of-age story, although set in the 90's, is still very relevant to today. It explores a quest for God without religion. Written with bursts of stream-of-consciousness and first-person narrative, “Punk” is simultaneously an urban existential fiction and a mystery novel.

I’m looking forward to discovering what happens to Claire and the others in book two – highly recommended. " - Jackie, Goodreads
What makes you believe a lie? - When the Sky Falls by Joseph Bendoski
