Book Rating
Mitchell never fails to amaze me. Slade House is gripping! I read this within 2 hours, not even putting the book down for dinner.

Combining several separate short stories to create one entirely tantalizing plot, Mitchell doesn't leave readers unsatisfied. As the book goes on we find out more about the two mysterious beings creating lifelong destruction in the equally mysterious Slade House and as we find out more, we wish we hadn't.

Creepy, thrilling and beautiful, this book is an excellent read for any horror genre lovers!

Inside out...
With beautiful illustrations and interesting subject matter, this book is a win-win with curious children. and although it is quite short, it fills a child with wonder and lets them take in what they want before progressing to more challenging reading material. The urine colour section will amuse children young and old, toilet humour at its best.
I am reviewing this book for Luann Columbo, Quarto Publishing, and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.

Wonderful story
Thought out characters
Great gameplay
In shock
I started playing this game and was a little skeptical. I had heard great things about it, but I thought they were over exaggerating. They definitely weren't. The storyline, characters, and animation style work together to create a game that I couldn't stop playing until I was done. So much dialogue! So much character development! And then a twist at the end that left me in shock. If you haven't played it yet, give it a try!

Trés Horny Boys 4 lyf
I've listened to the McElroy family's 1st D&D campaign, The Balance Arc through at least twice, and it gives me all of the feelings.

It's like reading a really good fantasy series, except you had a full cast narrating and none of them knew what was going to happen.

The boys are now on their second arc, Amnesty. Already I'm feeling in love with these characters. Griffin is such a good storyteller (they all are).

Thank you brothers (and Clint) for the beautiful and hilarious stories.

Be my guest, put my writing to the test! As usual the originals are so much better, this story is the perfect representation of beauty is found within. This movie put me in all my feels, from crying to joy and even admiration! There will never be a day where I would pass on watching this movie this has been one of my most favorites since I was little! Still it ever fails to entertain!

A co worker gave me this book because she recived two and at first glance it was not my kind of book by man I was wrong it was everything I wanted in a book that I didn't know I wanted ok I know that is cheesy but it was really good. The story flowed really well and the art work on the cover was beautiful (I know never judge a book by its cover) but it fit so well.

Well Written Characters
The Joy of Amy Tan
I've never read a novel that's inspired such emotion as Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club has. Tan has created some of the most gorgeous characters I've ever been introduced to, and the way she writes allows every reader to have a vivid image of the places she describes. Every little detail fuels more and more imagination. Not only is the book a MUST READ but Amy Tan is definitely one of the greatest authors I've ever read from.

Beautiful Infertility Memoir
I believe this is a book that anyone dealing with fertility issues should give a good thorough read. Even though there were a number of grammatical errors, J.T. perfectly captured the feelings of blind hope, crushing defeat, more hope, despair, obsession, and joy that come along with the infertility "journey". Her sense of humor through the entire ordeal was uplifting. I laughed, cried, and was over the moon alongside her. It gives hope that there is indeed "light at the end of the birth canal".

Glorious storyline crescendo
Contains spoilers, click to show
Such a beautiful rounding of the 3 seasons of Penny Dreadful. To finish with Vanessa and Ethan's scene may have made my eyes leak! And to see that the past of the Monster entwined so deeply with Vanessa was a great added depth and completely unexpected. I adored this season and am currently rewatching for my 5th time. For any lover of classic horror literature, or doomed romance, or the thrill of supernatural I would recommend in a heart beat!
