Book Divas (227 KP) rated The One (The Selection, #3) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I'm trying to write this review and of course I'm having a hard time seeing through the tears that continue to run down my face. This book took me longer to finish reading as I have arcs that I need to read as well but I enjoyed every single moment of this book.
America's story was such an emotional roller coaster ride for me and the losses were at times overwhelming. I will say that this one was truly my favorite and I can read it over and over again. Cannot wait to delve into The Heir!

Good graphics for the time period
I think I have played this game more than any other in my lifetime. You get to play as any of your favorite troops including rebels, Imperials, even Gungans and Wookies and build up your encampment before attacking others. A lot of resource gathering can be a bit tedious, but doesn't take away from the fun.
Came out relatively soon after Starcraft, so it feel a lot like that.
Had a subsequent expansion pack, The CLone Campaigns, which was released before Episode II in 2002.

Tennant makes the best doctor
Out of the New generations doctor who David Tennant is by far my favorite doctor. His charisma brings something special and perfect to the doctors persona.
The relationship between Rose and the Doctor is something beautiful and so bittersweet that there love can never be.
Show runners Russel T Davies and head written Steven Moffat make a great team and when they work together the show episode, story boards arcs and monsters are something that make any other show hard to match up to.

B (15 KP) rated Stuff You Should Know in Podcasts
Jan 10, 2018
Josh Clark and Charles (Chuck) Bryant are the very charming co-hosts for a very informative Podcast. They wander off on little tantrums that I find rather endearing. Stuff you should know covers a multitude of topics, common and not so common. My favorite episodes are the Halloween story time they have. I also really enjoyed the How a Flea Circus Works and The Future of Renewable Energy where they did a rare interview (which I usually hate with a passion) with Bill Gates. If random knowledge is something you love to have and share this is a podcast for you.

A film everyone needs to watch at least twice
This is, hands down, my favorite movie of all time. There are several reasons, but to name a few:
1. The big reveal was fresh in 1999. A twist that made you immediately want to watch the movie over again.
2. The story is an amazing and unique idea only a brilliant author could ever manifest. (Chuck Palahniuk)
3. The soundtrack, cinematography, and editing was practically perfect
4. The pace of the film is spot on and the characters are well rounded and portrayed
5. Just see it if you haven't

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Fray (Ruin Saga #3) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Harry Manners] remains one of my favorite authors. [Fray] is the third installment in [The Ruin Saga] and picked up just where [Brink] left off. As Norman and his crew follow Billy to stop the world from ending completely.
[Manners] really knows how to tell a story as well as weave in and out of the past and present without losing the audience. This is a skill not all authors can say they possess. If you have not experienced any of the books this man has written and like adventure on a cerebral level what are you waiting for?

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Exile Hunter in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Preston Fleming] is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. With the third installment of his Kamas Trilogy he again kept me up reading late at night. [Exile Hunter] was the strongest book in the trilogy and that is saying a lot since I loved them all. Also in my experience trilogies third book is usually the weakest.
The intertwining character relationships kept you wanting more. I also like how what you read about in the first two books was reinforced and the story truly continued.
I will be looking for more books by Mr. Fleming.

I went into this excited and yet terrified. What if they destroyed a classic in this attempt to retell one of my favorite stories? I walked out of it thrilled. The special effects were completely on point (was definitely worried about some of those scenes), and the inclusion of a touch more background into Belle's life and even the Beast's life added so much to the film.
And Emma Watson...thank God she actually enjoys reading so much in real life or it'd be sort of tragic to think of how many rolls she gets where she's an avid book nerd. :-)

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #1) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
It's no secret that I've thoroughly enjoyed all of Riordan's mythology based series. My favorite was the Khane Chronicles, but I have to say Magnus Chase is off to a grand start. Norse mythology has such a long & many layered history to it that it fits seamlessly into Riordan's brand of storytelling. As usual there is another great crop of characters as well as a tie in to his old faithful...Percy. I look forward to seeing what other adventures are in store for Magnus & his hall mates as they try to prevent the destruction of the Nine Worlds.
