Binge watching made easy (1 more)
Has a child friendly mode
I love Netflix since I love to binge watch my shows. However, it seems that once I finished a show, there is rarely anything else I want to watch. Its easy to blow through so many episodes and be left with next to nothing that interests you. I wish they had a ton my shows streaming. I do love the kids only section and profile you can make. This has helped keep my 1 year old entertained and when she does change the show, I don't have to worry about it being a show with inappropriate behaviors or words.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
I dont know why I requested this novel. There is nothing in the description that would interest me in this novel. Honestly, I couldnt have cared less about the story itself. It didnt interest me at all. However, the characters were what got me. I loved them to distraction. They were overflowing with personality. Katie had strength and it was a joy to read her and Liam interact.
Overall the novel was a cute read but it is the characters that really make the story. While I wasnt impressed with the novel as a whole, I did like the dialogue and character interactions.

One of Favourites
It’s a uniquely refreshing horror movie that actually scared me the first time I watched it, might have also had to do with the fact I was a kid but hey ho XD Now I seen it so many times I might not get scared but the thrill sure still remains.
I loved the characters and the atmosphere, the way Silent Hill was also presented came fairly close to the games as well.
The monsters were fun to watch, especially Pyramid Head and his morbid abilities to deskin a human in a matter of seconds hehe
Overall I can’t fault this movie, I definitely understand the fan following of the whole franchise.

I could not finish this story
I checked it out from the library on a whim.I hated this, I got to the point where I didn’t want to see if the book redeemed itself.
I’m sure other people will like it, I’m just overly sensitive about such things.
There also was a lot of swearing, almost to the point of being off putting, but I am willing to look past that, just not the racism and the way Lisa’s family treated her after her stroke.. if it wasn’t a library book, I would have turned that book into a junk journal.

For me, this was a film that could have been great. I remember hearing stories of the slender man when I was a kid and being truly scared so I was eagerly anticipating this release.
Sadly after watching it however, I can say that it failed at every turn. Although the actors were good, the general plot and production lacked. The story slowed in the middle and I found myself dwindling in interest and concentration. Predictable jump scares along with scenes that I believe we're supposed to be scary but just ended up messed up and mildly disturbing.
Overall a watchable film but I feel this would be more suited to a wider audience than avid horror fans.

If you want a book that will take you on a true roller coaster ride of delirious emotions, The Place Between Breaths if for you. Told in a non-linear manner and delves into the raw complexity, horror, and grief surrounding Schizophrenia. Although all the jumping around might be off-putting to some readers, I found it intriguing - as if I were exploring the world the way a fractured mind would and I loved that, at times, I was confused. I know that's strange to say, but I enjoyed it's ambiguous tone riddled with dream and longing.
I would recommend 100%

This whole series is glorious - I know book 1 gets some flack and mixed reviews - but I adored it - and this book is the perfect next book in the series - I totally thought this was a duology so I expected a conclusion the whole time I read this book - but it set it up so nicely for another book - I can't wait to find out what happens next. I want one of her "pets", literally I keep imagining how it would be to control something like that and it's so fascinating. I love Tea she's one of my favourite "strong ladies" that I have ever read. Although I keep getting Kalen and Kance mixed up in my head - it took me a while to figure out what was truly going on - I'm unsure why in my brain they got mixed up - I love Kalen - I love her band of people - I love the past/future whatever flashbacks/forwards and I just freaking love this series !!!!!!!!!!
