starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Moon Dust (Two Moons of Sera) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
Fantasy isn't one of my favorite genre's but this was a short, sweet and fun story to read. The descriptive writing was amazing. I felt like I was seeing everything as it was happening. I felt like I could feel what was going on, the sea, the water, the sand, the people everything. It was a fun, easy read. I enjoyed how not everything was easy for her.. how things were bad.. and things were good.. Overall this was a very enjoyable story and I am excited to see what happenes next.

This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.

classic Stories are timeless
As good as an audio book delivered to your phone
This is a great podcast, classic literature has stood the test of time for a reason. I found Captain Blood because of him, and it's now one of my favorite books of all time. He tends to select toward the horror side of things, but you can always find something you are interested in listening to. From Sherlock Holmes to Peter Pan. Herland to Pride and Prejudice. and lots of small stories in between.

My favorite bond movie not perfect by any means its a shame that geroge lazenby only did one bond film. The plot follows the book perfectly as blofeld plans to use is angels of death contaminte crops and animals but only bond can only stop him and finds time to fall in lovewith tracey daughter of local crook.
It also has the perfect love song from louis armstrong. And telly savalas as blofeld and the ending still gets me

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2460 KP) rated Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hannah needs to lose weight, so she has joined Heavenly Bodies, the new gym at the mall. But one morning, she finds universally hated fitness instructor Ronnie Ward floating face down in the spa. It really is cruel to talk about losing weight in the middle of all the delicious recipes in the book. Not the strongest plot in the series, but fans will love spending time with their favorite characters.

Mar 9, 2018
Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house.
This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be annoying as a result. Just know they grow stronger from their friendships by the next in the series.

Mar 15, 2018 (Updated Mar 15, 2018)
I didn't know if this movie was going to be completely terrible, or completely hilarious. It was mostly hilarious. For starters, the cast was stacked. I love Charlize Theron in everything, and her character was a boss, and my favorite scene in the movie is when she's giving herself a pep talk in the car. David Oyelowo was so funny as Harold and he was so charming. Joel Edgerton was the perfect d-bag. I completely forgot Sharlto Copley was in this movie until he showed up, and his character was one of my favorites.

Jennifer Connelly
Creepy Dark Crystal-esque Nostalgia with an Alice in Bowie-land feel.
I'm not going to say this film is great, it's actually just ok, but like Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Connelly seems to make everything a little bit better. My adolescent self will tell you much much better. The puppet work is fantastic, and of course it is with Jim Henson at the helm. Most people don't know this but it was a commercial flop. But since then has become a cult favorite, which is where it should be.

Okay but not amazing
I like being able to play whenever I want, but there are a lot of people who either quit or get disconnected. Maybe I don't like this as much because I don't know the people involved, or maybe I just can't get into it. I don't know. It has promise, but I wish the games were bigger. Only playing with 3-5 people and then having 1 or 2 of them quit takes the fun out of it mostly. It's still promising, but definitely not my favorite.
