Film Review: People We Meet on Vacation
Netflix released People We Meet on Vacation , the book-to-movie adaptation of Emily Henry's novel, You and Me on Vacation . One of my first reads of the year was You and Me on Vacation by Emily Henry. This was a priority read for me because I knew that the Netflix adaptation was coming out in January, and I wanted to squeeze in the book before watching. In America, the book is called People We Meet on Vacation , whereas in the UK it has the title You and Me on Vacation . How

Film Review: The Family Plan 2
The Family Plan 2 came out last month and it is a great family film for fans of action and comedy at Christmas. Earlier this year, I watched The Family Plan on Apple TV+. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan, and was such an enjoyable film. I loved The Family Plan , so when the sequel was announced, I was so happy. My family and I are big movie buffs, particularly action movies. The Family Plan 2 is a Christmas film, but it's perhaps one of the least festive movies.

The list included thrillers, romance novels, fantasy novels and more. It got me thinking about what to write for my next blog post. Obviously,

Film Review: The Thursday Murder Club
Richard Osman's cosy mystery book, The Thursday Murder Club, has been made into a movie on Netflix, and here is my review. As a reader, I'm always wary of book-to-film adaptations. Over the years, there have been some great movies inspired by novels; however, there have also been some not-so-great ones. A film has to differ in some ways from the original book; you can't put every detail from a novel onto our screens and have the film fit within a normal time limit. Richard O
