Incredibly powerful (1 more)
Elizabeth Moss and Joseph Fiennes is fantastic
Masterful adaptation of Atwood's classic book
There was a lot riding on this TV show, more than 30 years after the original book came out. But it was unbelievably dark, even more so than the book, and completely adjusted for contemporary times. Attacking various structures where women have fought hard for their rights such as the workplace, LGBTQ rights, FGM and pro-choice - this series shows how the state can take those rights away and take control of women's bodies. Extremely grim viewing, it really is a difficult watch.

I read the first four a while back and went straight out as I was sucked in by the writing and I just wanted more!!
I have just read the fifth about 1 month ago.
I love how she is a weird kid, with weird 'powers' but I also love how she becomes her own women and struggles through it and comes out on top. All five books are fantastic and I cant wait for the 6th final book to come out just to see if true love really can conquer all in the face of adversity.

OMG, what can I say about this book. it was such a good read, I just couldn't put it down till id got to the last page then I was left wanting more. this author has a fab way of writing that just has you captivated with the story and the characters. this story has it all, badass bikers, tough women, plenty of drama and some very emotional scenes. I loved everything about this book, the characters were fantastic, the story was page turning and the emotions within the story. this is definitely a must read book.

Amazing Story and Gameplay
Combines amazing storytelling with amazing gameplay. I loved everything about this game because they got it right. They created a great world with fantastic characters. Just running around doing side quests showed how beautiful the various areas in the game are. It is so much fun to play and I love that there was so much diversity in the game and that it showed strong, smart women in leading roles.

Miguel Covarrubias (143 KP) rated Captain Marvel (2019) in Movies

Representation goes higher, further, faster!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Captain Marvel wasn't the best Marvel movie to date, but was one of the better ones. Brie Larson was fantastic as Carol Danvers. She very well portrayed a woman who was told to suppress her emotions her entire life to fit within a patriarchal society. The big twist being that she didn't have to prove anything to the men in her life to be the strong powerful woman that she is. Probably does more for representation of women than WonderWoman. The Skrull also teach us that we cannot demonize sentients before understanding them. Excelltent! 9/10

Sister, Maiden , Monster

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Humanity has been irrevocably changed by a virus that radically alters its victims...yet life goes on.
Three women must band together to try to survive. Erin and Savannah are helping usher in the new world, while Mareva has been burdened with a very special task ― one she's too horrified to even acknowledge.
This is absolutely brilliant I didn’t want to put it down. It’s so well written. Following a the covid pandemic the world gets thrown into another apocalyptic virus. This is a fantastic comic horror/end of days novel. It is graphic so please read any trigger warnings. I’m so glad I found this author her writing style is definitely something I want to read more of!

MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Perfect Liars: Perfect for fans of HBO’s hit TV series Big Little Lies in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I enjoyed Rebecca Reid’s compelling debut novel Perfect Liars.
Perfect Liars is a thoroughly satisfying character driven psychological thriller. It’s cleverly plotted and clear from the beginning, despite being paced on the slow side, that it is a compelling tale.
The characters are somewhat unlikeable in that they are typical stereotypical pretentious, entitled, self-centered women. The story is told using a dual timeline, past and present. Whilst they display a close friendship to the world it is deeply flawed.
There are certain parts of the storyline that I felt were a little too unbelievable and that is why this does not get a full five stars from me.
A fantastic debut by Rebecca Reid and I very much look forward to whatever she comes up with next.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this novel at this time.
