The books

This is the fourth book in the Riverworld series and the one where all of those loose ends were tied up. I enjoyed seeing where all of the characters storylines crossed with each other and finally getting to the root of the mystery. Although to be honest it was kind of an anticlimax. I still have Gods of Riverworld to read yet so I'm interested to see what direction that one takes. We shall see.
The films

Matt and I went to see this at the cinema last week because he was desperate to see it and I'm a good wife. It was an intense film. I always get emotionally invested in films, books too, and so I scare easily, cry constantly and get sick to the stomach with nervousness for characters. So to say this film was emotionally exhausting for me would be a massive understatement! Don't get me wrong, it was an amazing film. It was just a little bit too much for me. I can't deal with all those emotions.

I love a bit of Ryan Gosling, who doesn't, but I can honestly say I would have enjoyed this film even if he wasn't in it. I love this type of film where the characters are really examined and they lead the storyline. Plus it had Ryan Gosling in, definitely a win for me.

Another trip to the cinema for us this week to watch Man on a Ledge. It hasn't been getting the best reviews but I really enjoyed it. It might have been that I haven't watched a good action type, cop thing film in a while but I liked it. The idea behind it was fun and it had enough twists to keep me entertained.
So there we have it, another week of this challenge. I really need to push on with some more books as the films are taking over but we have quite a few more films lined up for this week. February seems to be the month a lot of films I was looking forward to come out. Goodreads tells me that I'm still on track with my books so I'm not too worried but I'm going to have to make sure it doesn't slip behind.
Current Progress 5/50 books and 8/50 films
