Jemaine Clement, brilliant as always (1 more)
Taika Waititi, also brilliant as always
Very Funny
Decided to watch this classic again as part of my Halloween movie session. A very funny mockumentary following a bunch of vampires who all share a house and bicker over things like not doing the dishes or not cleaning up the mess after one of them has feasted on some virgins. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi are both brilliant in this. Rhys Darby also makes a very funny appearance as leader of a bunch of local werewolves and those are some of my favourite moments ("We're werewolves, not swearwolves").

Ever After by Nora Roberts
An exclusive Nora Roberts short story.

Allena has always struggled to get her life on track. And, true to form, on a trip to Ireland she is distracted by a beautiful ancient pendant and a strange storm leaves her stranded on a distant island.

Allena is forced to take shelter with her rescuer: the rugged and surly Conal. But Conal is horrified to see Allena wearing the pendant - a sign that fate is catching up with him. He fights it at every turn, but the enchanting Allena alters his life in ways he never thought possible.

All time favorite
One of the best revenge stories ever written. I've read a lot of books, both modern and classics, but this one will always be my favorite.
One thing I thought would bother me are the Christian undertones throughout due to being an atheist, but though it was at times very religious, I never found it distracting even after having read it 6 times.

Em and Christine are maybe my favorite podcasters ever. They have a great rapport together and I love the combo of ghost stories and true crime! (0 more)
Spooky fun!
I love both Em and Christine’s story telling! I like that I hear old favorite stories from a new perspective as well as stories I’ve never heard before! I always want a glass of wine or milkshake after listening!

I really wanted to like this book more. It started out strong but the characters seemed to be in denial and helpless. Then after one horrible scene it turned a little weird. I know this was made into a movie and the book is always better. The premise was good and this could have been so much better if it tried to be less artsy.
