Not my favorite by Shari Lapena … Really slow for me and only picked up at the end. Didn't particularly care for how this story was written, going from different characters and there were a lot of characters. The plot of the story was good, the characters all going to an inn for a weekend getaway, the power goes out and characters start getting killed but it just dragged for me. Yes it had some twists but not a lot of thrill moments. It was just an ok thriller to me.

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.

I love anthologies. Especially ones that don't have to go with the rest of the series just expands upon the universe. Unlike some you have to read or you know you're missing something crucial between books 3 and 4( for example). There are spoilers in this anthology however Patricia Briggs does a good job letting you know and where the stories fit inside the Mercy and Alpha and Omega universe. My favorite is the Ben story Redemption out of all her characters he has the most personal growth.

Finally finished! Not a horrible book as a collection of semi continuous folklore tales go, if you can get through the old English and realizing words don't have the same meaning as they do today. How I think of worship is not what they meant at all, at all. And there are No Quotations to let you know who is saying what. Favorite phrase is "wonderfully wroth." Just don't forget: an can mean and, but,or if. But can mean and. And if can mean anything.
Just don't get lost in the confusion of pronouns.

Not Doug, that’s for sure. He’s a good boy. But suspension of disbelief had to be higher than a kite (0 more)

O.M.G. The beginning of this film will make you cry. The whole film runs a little long, there are too many dog gags and my patience with the small mailman was paper thin. Definitely worth watching for the beginning and the end though. The animation was spectacular. The video game for this is impossible, at least for me. Not my favorite Disney film but, heh heh, it’s up there.

If the Shining happened in an Ikea
Honestly one of my favorite covers because people keep thinking I studying an Ikea catalogue very thoroughly!

This book was just so much fun and had a really great balance when it came to the horror and comedy which for me just doesn't always come through when I'm reading books. But Grady Hendrix just really had a way with the genre. I bought this book first but ended up reading My Best Friends Exorcism first and that was also a great read.
  
I'd honestly forgotten how good this one is!
Hi Fergie!
So, it deals with fear on two different levels. The fear of abandonment. Grandma has a brain tumor and his dad's plane is shot down.
And fear of the supernatural. An evil person with a magic box that can turn people into mummies.
Johnny's determination to find the will and the way he goes about it is one of my favorite things. Because he's far from perfect but even with the mistakes he makes, Johnny is a good bean.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This but book was a lot of fun and a breeze to read.

I hadn't read the first one and it jumps straight into the action but there's some pretty decent exposition to help along.

I really liked the fact that it was told from three points of view.

I think Ty's story was my favorite but I adored Maggie's comic book love.

And hooray for strong friendships between women!
