Malin Akerman recommended Pan's Labyrinth (2006) in Movies (curated)

"I loved Pan’s Labyrinth. It transported me into another world. I like fantasy worlds; I love Lord of the Rings as well, for that reason, because you really get to get out of reality and go somewhere else. Pan’s Labyrinth was kind of this dark, sick, beautiful… it was like watching a moving painting, like a Salvador Dali painting or something like that. It was just really magical and it sort of provoked so many different feelings at one time. It’s kind of sick, you know, the guy with no eyes is coming at her and it felt like when you have a crazy dream — you’re watching someone’s crazy dream. It just affected me."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Truth or Beard (Winston Brothers, #1) in Books

2.5 stars

This started out so promising for me. In the first 10% or so we'd had some pushing against walls, touchy-feely-naughtiness and a confession of wanting to be with our girl after wanting her for years. It was so different from the books I normally read where they only confess feelings towards the end. I was looking forward to him convincing her that they should be together.

But it didn't play out like that... nope, we got bikers and different dreams/aspirations and stuff I think the story could have done without.

I won't be continuing the series, no matter how much one of the brothers and his behaviour around Claire intrigued me.

I was a bit torn with this one. The fact that the story is mainly told between two viewpoints, until later on when a third joins in but to me that says that she's going to end up with that person. Right?

Well, not true in this one.

>It was nice to see how the twos feelings changed throughout the book, where childhood friendship and love transformed into something that makes them the closest they could be, knowing all their secrets and so on.

Sanchez grew on me a lot. To start with he was some womanising man-whore but by the end I'd really taken a liking to him and didn't blame Emerson one bit for her choice.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) in Books

Sep 5, 2019

Hmm...where to start. Let's give it 2.5 stars.

This book has sent me cartwheeling through so many feelings: intrigue, horror, indifference, happiness but I can't say that, in the end, I understood the story. I didn't get it.

Why could Mara do these things? Was she the cause of the asylum collapse? What about Noah? What happened to the building they were after?

Admittedly from about the 25% mark to about 70% I was enjoying the story but then I just got really confused when Noah confessed his secret. I had no idea what that had to do with the rest of the plot.

Not really to my liking. I wont be continuing the series.
