Okay, I mean, it's been a while since I've read this, but here's what I have to say:

Roald Dahl? Spectacular!! He's one of my favorite authors, and it's amazing how he writes. And this book is one of his classics, so of course, it's amazing.


Now, I found some problems, the most important one being;
IS IT EVEN LEGAL TO SEND A CHILD TO A HELLHOLE MADE OF HEAVEN AND THEN BLOW SAID CHILDREN UP, SEND THEM IN FLYING ELEVATORS THAT ARE A SERIOUS RISK TO THEIR LIVES, SEND THEM DOWN TRASH CHUTES, AND PUT THEM THROUGH A TORTURE MACHINE EQUIVALENT TO WHAT THEY USED IN OLD TIMES? HOW THE HELL DID THIS GUY NOT GET ARRESTED? NO WONDER HE HID FOR SO LONG.


Okay, rant over. But still! How!!??


But on with the good parts: It's still amazing, and highly creative. You can tell Willy Wonka wanted to impress the kids, show them how awesome his factory was, and you can't blame him for getting rid of all the brats that came to his house. And OH MY GOODNESS CHARLIE MY SMOL BEAN YOU'RE SO AMAZING AND PURE AND INNOCENT SO NICE!!
 
But my favorite part is when his grandpa went 'fuk it I'm going with this kid no matter what you say'


Also the chocolate. You can't forget the chocolate.
  
Wow.. I went into this story not knowing what to expect. I ended up loving it and reading nonstop until it was over and I was left in this world wanting more of this world. It was amazing. In the beginning I did have to seriously follow which character was who because I did get a little bit confused off and on but once I had everyone down and figured it all out following it was easy and a lot of fun. The characters were fast paced... they were sexy and mysterious.. Marie was an amazing woman.. strong, sad, happy and everything else you can think of. At times I really didn't like Marie.. she would do something and I'd think.. you are an idiot.. but then a couple pages later something would happen and I'd go... ohhhhh, now I get it. lol The ending was a bit sad for me.. I wanted it to go another direction and I was hoping for another way because Marie had been through a lot but the ending at the same time made sense and leaves it open for what I hope will be another and that it will explain even more. Kristal did an amazing job with her writing and her imagery in this story and her muse was amazing :)

This crochet book is amazing!!! So many cute patterns for kids and adults that are kids at heart. So many amazing patterns!!!
I love how the book is set up. It has various patterns for all skill level for crocheting. Each pattern gives you the level and explains that level of skills you need to complete the project, which I felt was amazing because some books don't have this clearly marked. Each pattern also gives the finished size, the hooks that will be needed, the yarn weight, the number of strands you will need, the gauge hooks you will need, stitch summary, skills, and specific crochet techniques needed to complete the specific project. It even has the specific crochet techniques explained in the back of the book which are clear and easy to follow and other tips and techniques when it comes to some of the sewing parts and other informative information.
Love this DYI crochet book. The layout is amazing, telling you step by step and even how to assemble the project.
If you never crocheted before this might be a little challenging but if you are familiar with crocheting, this is definitely a book I would recommend. I even love the added piece about wall art. And has add-ons you can add to your projects as options to change it up some.

It has been way too long for a Female Super Hero Blockbuster and a lot was riding on this movie. Thankfully, good writing, great acting, and an overall amazing production gave the viewers exactly what we wanted.

I can honestly say that I will never read an excerpt via NetGalley because now I have to sit here and wait for the book to to be released!!! What an amazing start!!! I will of course update this review once I've read it in its entirety.

Please note that Asylum needs to be read first!

Another fantastic and creepy read that had me on edge. I love how this author grabs you and keeps you till the end with her fantastic world building and amazing characters. Can't wait to read the next book!
  
2017 marked the second year that VR has been widely available to consumers.

While there’s still much work to be done to standardise the platform for casual play across wider audiences, it still yielded plenty of amazing games this year that you couldn’t get anywhere else.

In no particular order, here are Gamespot's picks for the best VR games of 2017:

My entire family loved this movie. It was great to hear cussing, see blood, guts, and gore. A sweet romance that didnt lead to sex within the first day meeting eachother. It was also amazing to see Zac Efron in this type of role again.

A show that I watched growing up dealing with the bar cheers and the staff and patrons of the place.

It brings back a lot of nostalgia thinking about this show as it had some amazing scenes as well as actors who became big stars.
