Oh Goodness are up
Are you a fan of D&D? This book is probably for you. Though the "characters" don't really follow the rules, it's still a pretty good book. The characters are wacky and all over the place and the plot is simple. However, that's all part of the fun. It feels like you just feel into the first campaign of three dorks who have never played before and gave completely different ideas about how they want the quest to go. Just don't take the book too seriously and you'll probably enjoy it too.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very quick read and made me want to keep reading. I did have to stop a few times to calm my nerves back down. I feel like this is a book that will stay with me for a while, it makes you think twice about trusting people. It also shows that what you see is not always what you get and if something appears too good to be true, it probably isn't true. I am very happy that I read this book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great thriller.
This is so cute! There’s not much I can say in a review for this since it is basically a novelty picture book, but I loved it.
There’s a cute little illustration of a hug on every page and I just find it really heartwarming. It’s one of my go-to feel-good books that will always cheer me up as well – I just have to flick to a random page for a smile.
I love that there’s little quotes mixed in as well. It’s just such a loving little book and would make a great present to anyone

This book really hit home for me because it dealt with recovery from an abusive, codependent relationship. Arnold did an amazing job of capturing the aspects of denial and fear that come along with recovery. It is hard to feel like you are good enough for anyone or that you deserve better and this book did an amazing job at expressing this. At it's base it is a romance but a healing one that is multi dimensional. I think this goes up with one of the most poingant books I have read and I highly recommend it.

From the same director as Black Water about a Alligator menacing a group of stranded people in the outback. We have this survival thriller about a group of friends whose boat is capsized and after some decide to swim encounter a great white shark. Apparently based on true events...
It does feel very similar to both Open water and Adrift but has a bit more action I felt. Definitely not as slowly paced as Open water. Given the subject matter, this is about as good as this type of film can get. It won't be for everyone.

A so-so remake of the cult classic, although this time it is totally different characters and story but with the same idea. So if you have seen the original, if not then why?, you already have a good idea of how it will turn out. This is one of the main problems as it loses any sense of tension of the first film with its setting on a remote island. Despite the low budget TV movie feel, it was still watchable with a young trendy cast. Don't rush to see it but it's not that bad.

A Superb Debut Album!
An excellent debut album from a very talented musician.
The songwriting on this album, done entirely by herself and her brother, is excellent, creating a dark, yet somehow relatable atmosphere throughout. Once I first heard the beat of "Bad Guy" I knew I wanted more, so I purchased this album and her 2017 EP "Don't Smile at Me".
The production on the album, also done by her brother is good, but the use of vocoding (not autotuning!) is used gratuitously throughout, especially on "Xanny", occasionally masking the singer's soft, excellent voice.

I thought this film was fine. It had its moments of funny. It was a little predictable, but I feel like with these movies it always is. I do think that Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell are good together. I found Dusty to be annoying, but I guess that was kind of the point. I am going to watch the second one because I want to know what happens - whatever that's worth.
I didn't like that they kept implying Brad was racist. I just don't find those jokes funny and I'm surprised they tried to land so many.
