I just came across a thing on the New Yorker website which I thought might be fun to do.
If you were trapped on a desert island and could only bring one book, one movie and one record, what would they be?
Book:
I could obviously go for Harry Potter but I'm going to assume that you can only take one book, and I'm not sure I could choose which one to take...
And I'm not going to go for anything "useful", you know, that could be used as kindling or whatever
So I could now say The Fault in Our Stars by John Green because it is probably the best book I've read in a while.
Maybe A Game of Thrones? Because there are a lot of characters and there would be lots of scope for fanfic to keep me amused ;)
Movie:
Hmmm... difficult. Again, I could go for Harry Potter but same problem, which one do I choose?
The Perks of Being a Wallflower? But that feels like a cop out as it's the most recent film I've seen and loved...
I think I need a film that is funny with some emotional side to it. I haven't seen Pitch Perfect but I have high hopes and could be the film I would take.
If it has to be one I've seen, I think... the Avengers. Yep, that is a film I could watch again and again. Lots of pretty men and very funny to boot!
Record:
After a small amount of thought, this is probably the easiest of the three. Teenage Dream by Darren Criss. The version with his own arrangement. Because I never get tired of listening to that song.
So what would be your three choices?

So imaginative! I loved seeing what happened to all the classic fairy-tale characters after the "Happily Ever After". Some really did live happily ever after, while some really didn't. There were some giggles as I had expected and some g...

Long, detailed, complicated but a great read. Really interesting characters and great plot development. And the world building was extensive and immersive. I'm looking forward to reading on, and also to watching the series.

Great read. Likeable female protagonist. The first two thirds of the book could be seen as slow if you like to get right to the action, but the underlying tension keeps you reading til the climatic final act.

With hilarious commentary that takes what could become - despite the subject - just a dry reeling off of sex studies and makes it into an amusing, interesting look at where science has gone to work out what makes humans tick when it come...

It took me far too long but I've finally finished it.
I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed it but it didn't have the same compulsive reading-ness of AatFK for me. However, I did love Cricket Bell pretty much as much as I loved Étienne...
