Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) (1997) in Movies
Aug 19, 2018
I really do love what Hayao Miyazaki creates. It's like any movie he puts out is gold. This movie is really wonderful. The characters are spectacular, and the animation is simply magical. I loved this movie a lot & I love the slightly creepy (Forest Spirit by far the creepiest) characters you meet as well.
FYI: If you're a parent looking for a new movie, please know that this anime is filled with violence & there is a reason that it is rated PG 13. It definitely relied heavily on the gore as well.

Great little tool!
We still need to work out exactly how much this little thing can do but so far so good. We have it set up to play songs from Spotify and mainly use it for music. It has come in very handy for cinema listings, weather, and as some entertainment when we just feel like asking silly questions. I imagine it will be invaluable once we start using it to it’s full potential.

Wow! One of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading! Totally original plot, superbly written, with amazing world building and well developed characters. It sucked me in from page one and never let go, I flew thru the story and was left wanting when the end came (far too quickly, mind you, as this is one I never wanted to end) and what an ending it was! I absolutely can't wait for the sequel! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this title!!
Yoshi (40 KP) rated Megatokyo, Volume 3 in Books

Megatokyo is by far my favorite webcomic. I cannot tell you how many times it has made me cry after spending about 5 minutes laughing my head off because it is that funny. Although you can read it on line for free, it is better to read it in book form if you can find it because it flows more easily that way. In my opinion this is probably the volume where the story starts getting really good, and the writer's art style has improved from the first book.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated Love Mode, Vol. 1 in Books

I have read 1-9 in this series so far and so this review covers 1-9. This is one of the best yaoi series I have read. I am defintely going to carry on with collecting the rest of the series as it hasn't let me down yet. I like all of the characters and the stories are all great in their own way. The first book is a little slow but book 2 picks things up very well. Highly recommended to lovers of Yaoi! I wasn't disappointed!

I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and had been looking forward to reading it. However, I was pretty disappointed with this book, with all the great buzz that had been created so far. I would give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. For all the drama I felt like it really lacked excitement until the last three chapters and it still was wrapped up extremely quickly once you reached the part that was a real page turner. I did enjoy the chapter switch from each character narrative.

My favourite
This is by far my favourite of the Harry potter books. Different from the others because of the time turner.
Harry, Ron and Hermione start their third year at Hogwarts and as usual end up in trouble and an adventure. Not only has it got all the amazing things that make every Harry potter book great but with the addition of buckbeak, the new classes, the dementors and other amazing creatures. It is a book that I can read over and over again and still enjoy.

David McK (3832 KP) rated Roadkill (Cal Leandros, #5) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Fifth book in the Cal Leandros series, and Rob Thurman appears to have learnt her lesson from the disappointing "Deathwish".
Again, the narrative is told in the first person but (thankfully) this time, Rob Thurman does not take it chapter about to have different characters speaking. Whereas "Deathwish" had it brother about per chapter (who 'sounded' far too alike), "Roadkill" only has Cal Leandros narrating, with his sections 'book-ended' by a chapter told by a completely different character, complete with their own distinctive voice.
This is a return to form!

Stunning romance (1 more)
Beautifully crafted
An amazing adaptation
This book is by far one of my favourite books by Jojo Moyes. It is such a stunning story and I was amazed at the character development made to Louisa from the first book. After the death of Will in book one it was a struggle for Luisa, and her romance progression in book two. It was lovely to see her revolve a 360 to her back to working with a wealthy family. Overall, amazing!
