Only Fools and Horses
We can relate to this so well and still laugh at every episode. Running from 8th September, 1981, until 25th December, 2003, we still love to watch the 64 episodes today in 2021, 40 years after it first aired. Two brothers who buy and sell (almost) everything, and their personal lives, have given us ‘generations’ of entertainment. I’m talking, of course, about “OFAH” or “Only Fools and Horses”.

Power
I was all excited to buy this book for so long on getting this book and was saving my money to buy this book . I finally went to Amazon, bought the book from one of their stores and just started reading it. Trust me on how it went because when I started to look at the things on it and got more and more into it ... that's when I suddenly started to say that it's not a good book. Let me explain. Here me out. I went into about keys of power and how it's used within history and so much further along I felt like I was suddenly sick of the book.

An electric new story of teenage Cruella de Vil in an original novel inspired by the upcoming Walt Disney Studios Live Action Film, Cruella. Swinging London, Summer 1967. Sixteen-year-old Estella, gifted with talent, ingenuity, and ambition, dreams of becoming a renowned fashion designer. But life seems intent on making sure her dreams never come true. Having arrived in London as a young girl, Estella now runs wild through the city streets with Jasper and Horace, amateur thieves who double as Estella's makeshift family and partners-in-(petty)-crime. How can Estella dedicate herself to joining the ranks of the London design elite when she's sewing endless costumes and disguises for the trio's heists?

Suddenly, Estella's days are filled with glamorous parties, exclusive eateries, flirtations with an up-and-coming rock star, and, of course, the most cutting-edge fashions money can buy.

Review of 'Sing Me Forgotten'
Isda does not exist. At least not beyond the opulent walls of the opera house. Cast into a well at birth for being one of the magical few who can manipulate memories when people sing, she was saved by Cyril, the opera house's owner. Since that day, he has given her sanctuary from the murderous world outside. All he asks in return is that she use her power to keep ticket sales high--and that she stay out of sight. For if anyone discovers she survived, Isda and Cyril would pay with their lives. But Isda breaks Cyril's cardinal rule when she meets Emeric Rodin, a charming boy who throws her quiet, solitary life out of balance. His voice is unlike any she's ever heard, but the real shock comes when she finds in his memories hints of a way to finally break free of her gilded prison. Haunted by this possibility, Isda spends more and more time with Emeric, searching for answers in his music and his past. But the price of freedom is steeper than Isda could ever know. For even as she struggles with her growing feelings for Emeric, she learns that in order to take charge of her own destiny, she must become the monster the world tried to drown in the first place.
