Wendy Williams
Tomorrow I get my pre-order for It Starts With Us, and all other reading will have to wait until I finish it. It’s one of my most anticipated reads of the year. The Christmas Spirit was excellent as expected, and I also enjoyed Built to Last. Wonderful post, Jodie!

Thank you Wendy! I should get my pre-order of It Starts With Us too!
Jenny Marston (Jenny in Neverland)
I can’t wait to watch The Good Nurse on Netflix. I love Jessica Chastain, she’s my favourite actress and the storyline sounds unbelievable, really scary that it’s true!

It does sound good Jenny! Thanks for reading!
