Interesting storyline and an extra twist to the switched bodies trope (1 more)
Beautiful animation and colour aesthetic
Great plot and beautiful animation
I loved this movie - im such a sucker for beautiful animes. The movie is fun yet emotional with a twist I didn't see coming. It also has a very sweet soundtrack. As always I reccomend the subbed version.

Hardgoing!
I really struggled reading this. I veered between hating it and finding it mildly amusing, but picking it up to read was a bit of a feat of willpower. I could have given up (and to be quite honest, I usually do) but I wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters. They were actually quite likeable. I just didn't like the style of writing. So sheer nosiness is the one and only reason why I finished this book!

Why do I have to give a book at least one star for it to be considered rated? 0 is a rating!
I put this book on the "read" shelf just so I won't forget that I tried it and didn't like it. Hambly's writing is excellent, as usual, but I wasn't in the mood for dystopia and I just didn't care much about the characters after the first 100 pages or so. I figure my time is much better spent elsewhere.

On reflection I will be upping this from a 4 star read to a 5 star read. My reason for this is because eventhough I read this last year I still remember pretty much everything from it. It has stuck with me and I still think about it, I would be more than happy to re-read it. I loved the characters, the writing was brilliant and I think it's safe to say that Laymon is one of my favourite authors.

I don't listen to a lot of podcast and I only checked this out because I had heard in a book review that the characters in the Infinite noise had started on this podcast as patients of Dr. Bright. I was so not disappointed I listened to this at every chance I could get and was through most of the podcast up to season 3 in matter of days. I love most things about atypicals or extraordinary people this was so well done.

I sort of enjoyed this! Sometimes Netflix documentaries stress me out and this one did a bit. I get that Joe Exotic's life was chaotic but I'm still not entirely sure of the order in which things happened. I might have to go watch it again but I have more questions now than when I started. I know a lot of people love this documentary and it is good I just think it could have been told better.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Swamp Bones: A Temperance Brennan Short Story in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I received a free copy of this short story from www.netgalley.com and the publisher, Randomhouse UK, Cornerstone and I wish to thank them for this.
I am only a little familiar with Temperance Brennan having read only one of the previous books - funnily enough, it's the one that's mentioned in this story - "the case of a body found in a barrel of asphalt at the Charlotte Motor Speedway" but it was a few years ago and I can't remember what it's called but I must have enjoyed it otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it!
Anyway, this short story will only take a couple of hours to read but it packs a lot in and not only is it entertaining but it's educational too - I learnt a lot about pythons! The descriptions of the setting made me feel that I was there - my hair even went frizzy! The characters, not only Temperance herself, but the "extras" were developed just enough to add to the overall interest and made me want to read more.
I enjoyed it. It was well written, had good pace and tension and a twist ... what more do you want from a story even one that is as short as this.

Uplifting. Beautiful story
There are not enough words to describe this story, but here’s a few; uplifting, comforting, friendship, community, beautiful, joyful, kind, tender, charming and a feel good novel. That should be enough right?
I had my head in this book and didn’t want to leave it or put it down. I was a part of that community with them the whole time, I was their friend and welcomed. I truelly devoured this story and sad that I finished it. It is a stunning debut. A must read if you haven’t already. One you won’t forget.
I loved the whole community within the book. The friendships, the bonds, the stories they tell and lastly how they always stuck together and fought together till the end. My heart was with them the whole time. A beautiful lot of characters, especially Kate and Rosemary they had such a cute and amazing unexpected relationship. I think they both needed each other to be honest. I loved them all.
Beautifully written. I cannot recommend this story enough. A must buy. A well deserved five stars from me and it’s got to have a place in my top twenty of the year. Beautiful. Amazing. Outstanding. Absolutely loved every minute of it.
