Premise
If you want something to make you think
If you like mystery and suspense a bit of fantasy this series is for you. You will be kept wondering all through this series and its hard to describe without giving things away. However I will say that its a beautiful story and great premise the actors play there characters well and the characters have been well thought through. The series has one of my Favorite actors in it that's Jason Isaccs and his character is nothing but brilliant again i cant talk to much without giving it away but I highly recommend.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Conversations with Amelia in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Conversations with Amelia] by [Kathleen Schmitt] cover both the history of one of the greatest women, Amelia Earhart, but also the growing pains of a family after WWII. All seen through the eyes of Hannah, who is very naive in the beginning. Her confidant is an imaginary Amelia who gives her good advice and keeps her "flying right".
I have been looking forward to reading this book because Amelia Earhart is one of my favorite figures in history. I was not disappointed. It is well written and interweaves the history with the events happening in the story so that it has a really nice flow. I highly recommend reading this book.

Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Downward Dog, My Dreams & Fears: Haiku & Illustrations by Martin in Books
Jan 13, 2018
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.
I cannot remember the last time a book of poetry made me laugh out loud. DOWNWARD DOG was absolutely entertaining, at least from the point of view of this dog lover. There are even one or two more serious haikus to balance out the ones that make you laugh. I'm pretty sure my own dog thinks much like Martin does.
My absolute favorite from the book:
"Shame: all the food has
vanished before I notice
I started eating"
Put this on your gift list for any dog lover. Absolutely adorable.

I love me some raw and simple gore
I first watched this movie when I was around 10 or so and hell it messed me up in the way that I could not look away from the screen the entire time.
The thing about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that always just made it a favorite of mine is just how raw footage it is, it doesn't have any of the flash and awe that a lot of horror movies have but the acting for me to this day is just so on point that I still find myself questioning if this shit was real or not.

This wasn't Patterson's best novel.
it was obvious to me from the beginning that the killers were hiding underground. i knew Samson was going to get hurt, but honestly i think the blood-lust would have been better if he died. (even though Samson is one of my favorite characters.) some of the scenes were just a bit too... descriptive... for me. both in the murder details and that of the rapes. i skipped a few pages. and he was incredibly repeditive with Nana-- she always had to have the last word. (dude. you said it five times. we've got it.)
i'm hoping the next one is better.

I was first introduced to Anna Kendrick from the movie Pitch Perfect. She was a cute little nobody who made a place for herself in the acapella world. Although my favorite movie of her is The Accountant with Ben Affleck. I really enjoyed this book which I think was made even better with her reading it. It chronicles her life from growing up in Maine to getting jobs in low budget movies, and theater productions. I didn't know she had done so much before Pitch Perfect. The book was funny and she made you feel like you were sitting down to talk to your best friend.
Erika (17788 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) in Movies

Initially, I really loved this film. I loved the nostalgia, and the fact that the original trio was brought back. I liked the new characters, and how everything came together. The opening scene was probably one of my favorites out of the film. The new trio had perfect casting, but I do think The Last Jedi ruined it a bit.
Then I realized I liked it so much because it mirrored A New Hope. Episode 4 is my favorite Star Wars film. Yes, it works, but Ep 4 does it better.
Anyway, I'm just glad this trilogy is being given back to Abrams to fix.

Dr. Bree Mayfield-Watson is most comfortable solving chemistry problems and logically looking at things. She never signed up to find her boss murdered in a secured building and is considered the number one suspect. Who wanted him dead and why are they framing Bree?
Unlike most cozy mysteries, Bree is not your average amateur detective doing illogical and impulsive things to solve the mystery. Refreshingly, she uses her brain, keen sense of observation, and trusty notebook to analyze the facts and formulate who is the real murderer.
My favorite part was being caught up in who the potential murder was and then finding out I was so wrong!

I don't know what's scarier, the fact I'm turning 31 next month, or that I remembered all of the tracks to this album in order. Apparently, I'm getting a little nostalgic.
I was a huge NSYNC fan when I was a youngin', and was constantly fighting with BSB fans about who was superior. The songs on this album are catchy, and I've had 'I Want You Back' stuck in my head for the past 4 days now. Pop music used to be fun, and the synchronized dancing was probably one of my favorite parts of NSYNC. (NSYNC was superior regarding dancing in the BSB v NSYNC debate.)
