I am a huge fan of Amy, so I was looking forward to this documentary. I really liked it, but it just left me feeling really sad.

Such an amazing series! And I love how it connects with, and in a way explains some of the things found in <i>The Mortal Instruments</i>.

Pretty good. I wish I was an outlier. Some parts are a little boring but ultimately I think this is eye-opening and worth the read/discussion.

Hmm, I dunno how I feel. I never really connected with this series when I started reading the second book a week or so ago. It had been too long since the first and my taste in books changes pretty regularly.

I wanted them to figure out the Republic/Colonies argument but at the same time I wasn't that bothered. I didn't even read it all, I skimmed a lot of it near the end. The only thing I truly felt passionate about was that Commander Jameson had to die and I read that bit in detail.

The other thing that kinda threw me a bit was when Day woke up near the end and didn't remember some things. I felt a little cheated. Ten years? Really?

Ugh. Not sure if I'll read other books by the author at this point.

Contains spoilers, click to show
As a huge Jessica Jones fan, I was excited for Season 2. But when watching it, I felt a little disappointed as I had waited 3 years for an merely adequate season. Don't get me wrong, I was glad we got to see Jessica's origin story as it wasn't fully explained in Season 1. I was also happy to see all of the main characters developing, which they failed to do in Season 1. I was a bit annoyed by Trish this season as she became a completely different character to how she was portrayed in Season 1, but this could be down to the enhancement drugs she was on. I was extremely happy at Jessica's new love interest, Oscar, and his son, Vido, and how the three of them became a family-like group. Even though I felt let down by this season, I would still watch Season 3 to see where the show goes and because I am still a fan of Jessica Jones as a character.

I've wanted to read this book for years, and searched for it in charity shops with no luck. Finally I got a chance to buy a batch of Stephen King books from a lady I knew and this was in them.
I enjoyed the book, and yet again with Stephen King his descriptive use really elevates the sense of suspense youfeel when you're reading his stories. However i did find it a chore to carry on with this one. I'm not sure if it was because I expected too much from it.
When you really cool the book down the excitement and suspense only happens in the last three chaptersif that. And by the time i got to that point i was a bit bored of it. When he finally does get you to that point in the book, it is so rushed you finish it with a kind of 'is that it?!' Feeling.
All in all a good Stephen King book, but I think I maybe hyped it up too much for myself before I read it and therefore was slightly disappointed.

Album Favorite

"My old man got me into The Streets. I was quite young when they first came out and I remember him having them on in the car constantly. Original Pirate Material was a complete game-changer for me, I can recite that whole album word for word. ‘Blinded by the Lights’ was on the second album, A Grand Don't Come for Free, and I could probably recite that whole album as well, I think it’s one of the greatest concept albums ever written. “With ‘Blinded by the Lights’ I just love the tune, it really catches a theme and I can really relate to how he’s feeling in it. It’s that feeling of being pilled-up in a club, of losing control and not really knowing what’s going on, it’s a big tune. “I really like the storytelling element of it and that was an inspiration to me. Storytelling in a song is a complete art and I definitely don’t feel like I’ve managed to do it as good as this does, I don’t know if anyone ever will."
