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!

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.

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.

I couldn't put this book down.
I wish this book had been around 10 years ago. It is so rare to find a book with such a strong teen female lead that doesn't end up completely centred around teen love/lust. I loved Briar rabbit and the writing was compelling enough to bring me to tears at the more intense parts of the story. It's a great read that I couldn't put down.

Plot
Just what I needed!
One of the great things about this movie is there's no romance subplot. It's so rare to see a movie with a female lead and not involve romance. It makes Captain Marvel seem more real.
I know a lot of people don't like the way Captain Marvel is portrayed, but I loved it! I see a lot of myself in Captain Marvel. Her humor, mannerisms, speech, and attitude really remind me of myself. Female characters all seem to fit into one of 6 categories and this movie added one more! Thank you!

Good humor
Empowered lead female
An easy read but a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.
Even though this story contains the overused character Mr. Billionaire Alpha Male, he manages to have a more unique personality. This coupled with a strong, charismatic female lead makes for a great multidimensional relationship. Their unique dynamic made for an interesting story and ,inevitably, an emotional rollercoaster. Although I was irritated and frustrated at some of the idiotic decisions the characters made, they were all very realistic stupid decisions that anyone would and does make. I don't think the main character, Tate, was intended to be a role model but I think she might just be my spirit animal. Let your freak flag fly you fictional character you.

DNF'd at chapter 15.
Oh my god this book. It really had good premise and did like that the female lead was srong enough to stand up fr herself at points but the fact that she easily backed out of that strength and easily forgave bugged me. I also didnt feel a connection between the couple.
All in all a major disappoinment for me.

Really enjoyed this one. A truly great modern Disney film.
I fell in love with this film, and I waited to see it. I saved it for my flight to Hawaii and I'm glad I did.... Here's an amazing movie poster fom Tom Whalen, one of my favorite alternate movie poster designers.
