not enough for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book
Ten maids to Master Marius tell their story, identified only by the job and the colour of their underwear.
This was an easy read, erotic flash fiction, 49 pages. It didn't do very much for me, though, and I found 9 stories almost identical. The tenth is different in the the Maid is in control, rather than Marius but there was still the reference to her colour underwear, and what she felt about the other maids.
It was reasonably well written, and delivers what it claims to be: short erotic fiction.
It just wasn't ENOUGH for me, but I did finish it.
3 stars

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.

Songs lacked something (1 more)
Unnecessary order of events changes
Sorely Disappointed
I really wanted to enjoy this. I loved the stage show and adore the animation. From the onset this let me down. I hung on until the Prince Ali song, because if this couldn't be done right what could? Not only was a bit miffed at the fact that things were not in the order of the other 2 versions (both done by Disney so I don't understand why you would fix something that isn't broken), but the songs lacked something: flare, brightness, the thing that gives me the urge to sing and jig along. The was constant throughout the film, it seemed to lack colour (not actually colour but it seemed a bit dull). Sorely disappointed.

The colour out of space
By H.P Lovecraft
H. P. Lovecraft's vision of the perfect horror story was one that transcended the merely creepy and inspired a feeling of bottomless fear - a cosmic terror in which all of creation is at stake. This collection includes some of the genre's most notable achievements, including Algernon Blackwood's "The Willows," Henry James's "The Jolly Corner," and Arthur Machen's "The White People." Inspired by Lovecraft's pioneering survey of the field of horror fiction, Supernatural Horror in Literature, this anthology also contains the title story, one of Lovecraft's best. First published in 1927, "The Colour Out of Space" follows the dissolution of a farming family after a giant meteor hits their land, poisons their crops, and drives them insane. Edmund Wilson praised the story for foreshadowing atomic fallout. Color and black-and-white illustrations are included.
The colour out of space is a retelling of events from a witness that experienced a meteor occurrence. I’m still quite new to reading Lovecraft and I think I’m this has to be my favourite so far! Apparently they made a film so that’s on my watch list too! I just love how descriptive these tales are how you kind of get lost in his telling!

It’s a stunner of a game, both visually and mechanically, and if you do indeed love the 2D platformer genre that pushes your reflexes and patience, Super Rude Bear Resurrection is the best out there. The levels are bursting with colour, complexity

'There's a nice mindless blaster with lots of colour and energy. But it's a bit hidden by busywork in the menus, endless upgrading and meter-watching on the planetary surface, shameless creative borrowings in the art department - and hefty bills at the Amazon checkout.'

Simple, but interesting. (1 more)
Fun
Fantastic Game of Colours!!!
This game is fab. Another example of this company understanding how people play games. You can go all bells and whistles, or keep it simple. Either way, great fun.
In a nutshell, you have a question about the colour if something (from flags to bands, there are topics for everyone) and your team answer by putting down the apropreare colour card(s).
Not only was it fun, I actually learned a fair few things while playing. Did you know the Golden Gate Bridge arrived painted in a burnt red primer, but the architect decided it looked good and wanted to keep it that way. The bridge's color is officially called international orange!

Absolutely bonkers
This is possibly one of the craziest adventure books I've ever read, and I wouldn't expect any less of a Discworld book. It's bonkers, funny and such an entertaining read. Rincewind has really grown on me too as a character, although I don't feel Twoflower's eccentricities were highlighted quite as much in this book as in The Colour of Magic. Such a fun read.

Good casting (1 more)
Good music
Unfortunately I read the book before watching, so it does colour my perception. On its own the movie is good, a little ‘fluffy’ in places and a little contrived in others. The dynamics I found fascinating in the book are missing in the movie. That said, the casting is good, cgi is amazing and the music perfect,

Not bad, but probably not the best book to start reading James Bond with, I think. Honestly, I don’t know as I would read any more anyway. This was for my library’s reading challenge (a colour), and at least it was short!
Scaramanga is the villain of this piece, and I have to admit to preferring the film to the book - not something I’ve actually experienced before!!
