Another great Discworld story
Terry Pratchett does it again with yet another great Discworld novel. Although the main protagonist Esk can be a little grating at times, Equal Rites introduces a fantastic character in Granny Weatherwax and tells an age old familiar story of men versus women, with a fantasy spin.

Fantastic stories and Hosts!!
Love this podcast! Love that it's hosted by women! Love the Hosts, they're funny, personable, and they make these stories interesting so that even the most gruesome are told with such enthusiasm and creativity that cringing us kept to a minimum. I loved every second of the podcast. By the end of season 1 I was ready to donate! I wish these wonderful women and their loved ones nothing but success! Thank you for the stories ladies!

Zac Efron's Ted Bundy (2 more)
The suspense
The prison scene at the end
Dang. I tell you what. Zac Efron was absolutely fantastic and equally as chilling as Ted Bundy. The writers and directors painted Bundy in a way that made me feel somewhat sympathetic for him and his fiance, despite knowing what he did to those women. The ending scene at the prison was absolutely chilling. Fantastic directing and acting. Zac Efron and Lily Collins shined, and I would go as far as to say that was Zac Efron's best performance ever.

Dull and rather pointless
There was very little that was beguiling about this film apart from the usual fantastic performances from Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell.

The premise of the film surrounds the American Civil War, in which an injured soldier (Farrell) is taken in quite reluctantly by a group of women and young girls where Kidman is the matriarch. The mysterious circumstances of Farrell is never explicitly revealed, but he begins to attempt to worm his way into staying by charming all of the women and girls creating sexual tension in a rather repressive household.

The problem was that the film is sold as empowering to women yet it was nothing of the sort. Watching the women throw themselves at a man was rather unappealing, and to be honest the entire movie was very dull. I hear the Clint Eastwood version of the same film @The Beguiled (1971) is superb and the one to watch.

Book Favorite

"Now, I can tell you about some women writers who truly are fantastic. One is Anna Kavan. She writes stories like I approach Land of a Thousand Dances: she’s caught in a haze and then a light, a little teeny light, come through. It could be a leopard, that light, or it could be a spot of blood. It could be anything. But she hooks onto that and spirals out. And she does it within the accessible rhythms of plot, and that’s really exciting. She’s not hung up with being a woman, she just keeps extending herself, keeps telescoping language and plot."

This book is made to hit you in the feels and keep you emotional through the whole journey. The author does a fantastic job representing cultures and people that aren't prominent in books and I need more. I need more women who aren't afraid to please themselves, boys who fall for boys and girls, and most importantly I need more Jewish representation. It is all here in this wonderful book and anyone who needs a trip down emotion lane should pick it up!
