Erika (17788 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983) in Movies

Oct 5, 2019 (Updated Oct 5, 2019)

Let me start out with this: yes, I love space bears. Ewoks are my favorite alien species out of the entire universe.
Return of the Jedi is my favorite out of the original trilogy, and it's the one I've watched the most, with A New Hope coming in second. I thought it was awesome that Leia dressed up as the bounty hunter to free Han.
The scenes on Endor are my favorite, because it reminded me of the woods my grandmother lived in. This specific film inspired a lot of the stories I wrote as a kid.
Now, I do have a beef with the remastered versions: I absolutely HATE the 'NOOOOO' from Darth Vader when he goes for the Emperor, it's the worst and it makes me cringe every time I hear it.

Queer representation in the young adult book world has improved in recent years as authors and stories have focused on more than just the coming out process, which while an important milestone, isn’t a defining one.

As a result, readers who do identify as LGBTQIA can now pick up a steampunk adventure set in Victorian London, a contemporary tale about a gender fluid protagonist finding fame on the internet, and a fantasy novel featuring a lesbian romance.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel in Books

Jan 12, 2018

This books does an amazing job or taking us through the complexities of coming out not only to others but to ourselves. The diversity of cultures really hits on what life really is like including the "toxic" people we may come in contact. Farizan does an amazing job capturing the emotions of her characters. Also it is nice not to have an LGBTQ novel that is all about sex but more the complexities of feelings and relationships.

Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated The White-Throated Transmigrant in Books

This one was a strange read. It didnt have much of a storyline to it, but I still felt melancholic after reading it.

This story is reminiscent of going through something shocking and coming out the other side of it lost and alone. I like it but it was very sad and made me feel lonely.

Sad, slightly creepy and slow moving, this one is definitely not something you want to pick up after a traumatic event.

This is a novella so it was a quick read. It definately was different and took me a bit to wrap my head around it. That does not take away from the creativity of the plot or the depth of the character. It is not your typical romance but we need more people to branch out of the tropes. There was a major twist that I did not see coming. An overall enjoyable read even if I hate snakes.

An interesting take on addiction

This book tells the story of Nikkis decline into addiction and his struggles to get out of it. Some of the story Motely cruel fans will already know but in this book Nikki goes into the feelings and emotions behind the situation. The book is a bit dull in places.
