ArecRain (8 KP) rated Pleasure Dome in Books
Jan 18, 2018
This novel had such potential. After reading the synopsis, this novel sounded right up my alley and I couldnt wait to read it. Sadly, the leads ruined it for me. My main beef concerns a wishy washy female lead who is so indecisive I want to slap her. I felt that she wanted her cake and eat it too. After a couple chapters of this and her jerking the mail lead around, I couldnt take much more. The story is filled with interesting characters, creatures, and planets and I would love to read more about them. However, I just cant deal with the female lead. I couldnt relate to her at all or understanding why she went from hot to cold in a matter of sentences. It was aggravating to read about her teasing the male lead then when he comes to see her, she hides. Dont play with fire if you cant handle the heat! Overall, her personality was just abrasive to me.
It wasnt just her either. I felt that the author introduced the male lead with a very specific demeanor and personality as well, but did not stick with it. As soon as they had sex, he became a completely different character than originally described.

All in all, Everything Everything is a watered down modern day rehash of the Boy in the Plastic Bubble with a female lead. The film tries to be funny and dramatic yet fails to succeed at either.

I didn't love it the first time through, but the second time and onward has gotten me to really, really enjoy it and become attached to it. It also helps that Hawaii contains some truly fond memories for me. The songs and heroic nature of the female lead character make it a winner in my book.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Ghostbusters (2016) in Movies
Nov 2, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
So let’s get on with my thoughts of Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters and it’s female leads, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. For starters, I’m not sure why people are negative towards female lead characters, they do all well together and the laughs certainly come through during the movie. McCarthy is brilliant as Abby Yates with her hysterical one-liners, Kristen Wiig is perfectly suited as Erin Gilbert “Doctor of Particle Physics” (look out for the Harold Ramis cameo, of sorts, in one of her scenes).

This was a super easy, quick, and heart happy read. The characters had chemistry that you could see on the pages and imagine off the pages. It gave a strong female lead a strong male lead to compliment her. They work together instead of fighting with each other. It was a definite move from the normal young adult rom-com read.
This is perfect if you need a quick happy read where everything isn't terrible for the main characters the entire book.
Thanks to the publisher for letting me read an early copy through Netgalley.

This is one of my favorite shows, and the soundtrack by Ramin Djawadi is phenomenal. Evan Rachel Wood is such a powerful female lead, as is Thandie Newton, and I'm always looking forward to the next episode to see what will happen next. Can't wait to see what they come up with for Season 3, but the Season 2 finale was just nuts!

I <3 Courtney
This album is incredible. Courtney is a master of both complicated lyrics and simple singing. Her deadpan vocals just chime with me on every level. Sometimes, I feel this album can loose steam around halfway through, but its nothing I can't forgive with such incredible starting tracks. A real forerunner in the world of female lead alternative.

Fantastic series
Love the entire In Death series. JD Robb is the alternate pen name for Nora Roberts because the series really follows a single chatacter as she solves murders in the mid 21st century. Completely different feel from her Nora Roberts books which, while I love them, can sometimes be predictable and saccharine at times.
ArecRain (8 KP) rated The Duke Meets His Match in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I had a love hate relationship with the novel. The hate comes from my annoyance with the certain character traits. I dont enjoy the tortured heroes/heroines who push people away because they feel they dont deserve love or have done terrible things in the past. However, I loved the strong female lead and her willingness to take things into her own hands to get things done and the sassy male lead who didnt know what hit him. The hero actually ended up being one of my favorites to date particularly for his ability to realize he is not infallible and must correct his own wrongdoings/misconceptions.
Overall, it was an enjoyable novel. The pity parties got old, but I enjoyed watching the main couple fall in love. It was an easy kind of love that happened over time rather than forced. Not to mention the female lead had a brain on her shoulders. Always a plus in my book!
I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
