trytobeoriginal (21 KP) rated The Ocean at the End of the Lane in Books
Sep 12, 2017
There is a lot to say about this book, but I don't like giving spoilers. I will say that it is in my top ten favorite books of all time.
It gives you a disturbing sense of being both a child and an adult at the same time, equally amazed and horrified by events taking place. It makes you miss a place you've never been, while being worried you might have to go one day.

Erika (17788 KP) rated National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) in Movies
May 12, 2018
This film is one of my favorite Christmas movies. My family is very much like the Griswolds, where Murphy's Law rules and everything is a mess. The quips throughout still make me laugh. I'm a huge fan of the quiet quip, and this movie is full of them.

Jessi Bone (48 KP) rated Atlantis Unleashed (Warriors of Poseidon, #3) in Books
Mar 18, 2019
Justice sacrifices him self for his brother who he could never tell and he lands in the void. Keeley has a gift of object reading that causes all around her to think she is crazy. When they meet an the adventure that follows they realize that only together can they be whole. My favorite Warrior of Poseidon. It is a wonderful tale of hope and love with destroying a few vampires in the mix.
Auburn (57 KP) rated Her Book Boyfriend (The Awkward Duckling #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
Macey is a naive high schooler who wants to find a date to prom. She reads way to much and decides to use 10 steps from her favorite romance novels in order to get a boy for prom.
This is a short, sweet, and uniquely funny book. The premise is cute and while Macey is beyond naive towards the true love it is so short it doesn't matter.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Daddy's Little Girl (Immortal Mafia Saga, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
This story made me laugh, made me want to cry, mad, happy and so many other emotions. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Nik wasn't my favorite character but seemed to fit with the story very well. I enjoyed how everything played out and am very glad that I read it. I thought that it was a different look on vampires then a lot of vampire books and that was refreshing as well.
The Marinated Meeple (1848 KP) rated The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997) in Movies
Jan 25, 2018
This is my Favorite Bill Murray Movie
I know he's done a lot of great comedies, but for whatever reason this one continues to make me laugh every single time. It's smart in a way it shouldn't be, his reactions are over the top, but there is nuance to them as well. There's a scene where he's talking to a dead guy and it's pure magic. This is a desperately underrated classic.
I was extremely excited when I heard Marissa Meyer would be coming out with another book (because Lunar Chronicles was 10 out of 10, let’s be honest), even more so when I learned it was about the Queen of Hearts. Marissa Meyer’s take on the villian’s backstory is unique, though I have to say the love interest isn’t my favorite. However, I did thoroughly enjoy this book and would most definitely recommend it!
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Immaculate Reception (Madeline Bean, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The pope is coming to LA, and Madeline is catering the welcome breakfast. But while prepping, she finds a letter that seems to confess to a murder, and it sets her off on a mystery with ties to the past. Still my favorite in the series with a fast paced, twisty plot and such wonderful characters.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated The Mystery of the Missing Heiress (Trixie Belden, #16) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This kid's mystery finds Trixie Belden trying to help a young woman with amnesia find out who she really is. This is the first time I've reread a book in this favorite series in years. I loved spending time with the characters, but I have always found this plot a little weak.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The One Who Eats Monsters (Wind and Shadow, #1) in Books
Mar 17, 2018
Paranormal is usually not my favorite. I do enjoy it but I must be in the mood for it. This book was so well written that I flew through it. The character of Ryn was very well developed. The theme seemed to be good versus evil with some nasty paranormal politics going on. I put this in the same category as American Gods but much less crass and gritty but in a good way.
