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!

On the eve of Once Upon a Time In Hollywood being released in theatres, I thought it might be fun to select your favorite scene from Tarantino's most famous film.

You can only pick one!

The Hulk is my favorite Superhero. Anything Hulk I will watch or read. However I regret spending money on this set. Hulk vs Wolverine started out great. The battle between the two was good. Even the battle between Thor and Hulk. Even so I thought the focus went off the battles to telling other story arcs that were thrown in. If you can find a way to watch this without spending money on it, then do it. Otherwise I would not spend money on a purchase for this movie

This book has been on my to-read list for some time both because it is a classic and because it is a favorite of my dads and older brothers. I absolutely loved this book. It was beautifully written and the tone was unique. I greatly enjoyed going on the complicated emotional journey of Montag. The world that Bradbury created was imaginative while also feeling like a possibility for a dystopian future. I loved this book and honestly want to read it again because I feel like each read through would give you more.

This continuation of Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic series careers with it the same magical world and the same characters that she made me love in the first book. I enjoy that in each book not only do the title characters get more backstory and more fleshed out but the entire cast of characters receive more depth. My favorite part of this book is the connection that has been forming between the characters. The strength of their bond carries the story, and I love the way in which their friendship manifests.
  
"If there's one thing these stories prove, it's that heriosm comes in all shapes, sizes, and varieties... -chapter 4

After all, you don't have to be a sword-wielding Gryffindor to be a hero; sometimes, all it takes is having you heart in the right place. -chapter 4

This was an interesting read that gave back stories to several Hogwarts teachers including Minerva McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Sybill Trelawney, and Silvanus Kettleburn.

For me this was a fun read because Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin have always been my favorite Hogwarts teachers.

I think this movie is super cute! It's definitely a good family watch with some action and some good sweet spots in between - for sure one for the kids. Nora was my favorite throughout the film. She's just cute and says funny stuff and it made me laugh.

I think with films like this you can't really have high expectations. You know it's not going to be the most intriguing plot, but it's also not meant for adults, I don't think. It's meant for young kids and it hits that demographic perfectly.
