Connie (244 KP) rated Doctor Strange (2016) in Movies
Sep 14, 2018
I loved this movie, though I found it confusing at times. When the world started buckling and changing, I had to rewind the movie and make sure I wasn't seeing things (I probably shouldn't have watched this movie when I was sick!). I loved the strength of character and there were a few statements or paradoxes that I still like to ponder to this day. I hope to see a second one sometime with many of the same cast members!
B (62 KP) rated These Viscious Masks in Books
Sep 30, 2018
I received this book as an advanced copy.
I was initially intrigued because the description listed it as Jane Austen meets X-Men and I'd have to say that's pretty accurate. I randomly find myself thinking about it because I feel like I don't often read too many historical fantasy novels in the YA genre. Themes are similar to those found in many other YA texts but not in a tired, over done way. Looking forward to reading the next one.

MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Rise: How a House Built a Family in Books
Oct 1, 2018
Inspirational. Emotional. This is a powerful 4 star read!
Truly inspirational book which tells of the power of love between a mother and her children.
Reading this you soon realise that Cara Brookins accomplished something so incredible following years of abuse. I found myself laughing, crying and at times biting my nails in horror at each inspiration chapter of this amazing family rise from their ruined old lives.
Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the advanced copy of this book.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Bond of Blood (Texas Vampires #1) in Books
Nov 14, 2018
A very steamy book indeed and a good story overall. The reason i gave this book 3 stars is because i found it very hard to get into and hard to understand at times. There seemed to be a lot going on all at once and the story kept jumping back and forward through time, also the constant having to look at the back of the book for the glossary was very distracting, other than that it was a very enjoyable read.

I absolutely love reading, whether physical copies or on my kindle. When I found this app I didn’t think I would use it much but I was so wrong. I rarely forget to bring my book or kindle with me wherever I go however on the occasion that I do, I know I have got my phone which means I can still get my reading fix!

Marauders
Bruce Willis plays a powerful Cincinnati banker, Jeffrey Hubert.
Then there are a group of Kevlar masked dangerous and impulsive baddies running all over town robbing the branches of Hubert’s banks.
The FBI becomes involved and they are left with confusing clues, including a finger print from a dead man on various pieces of evidence.
All through the story line you think you know who’s behind the Kevlar masks only to be thrown off as more evidence is found.

Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated The Stranger In The Woods:The Extraordinary Story Of The Last True Hermit in Books
Dec 10, 2018
Genuinely, I found this book a little disappointing in the sense that it didn't really talk about what it was like for him to live in the woods for all those years. I wanted to know what it was like for him and how he liked living off the land, which he technically didn't really "live off the land" even. I felt like the author was kind of rude and disrespected the man's wishes to be left alone and it was pretty annoying.
Hazel (1853 KP) rated Me and Mr. Darcy in Books
Dec 14, 2018
I hesitated before rating this book. It was not as bad as two stars but I am not sure it is worthy of three, so let us say it is two and a half. Whilst I liked the Jane Austen/<i>Pride and Prejudice</i> references, I am not really a fan of Chick Lit and at times found it a bit tedious. However there were times when I got into the story line; I did read it in one day after all...
Charley (64 KP) rated Sex Education in TV
Jan 26, 2019
Funny from start to finish
This Netflix show files the life of a 16year old lady and his struggles to navigate teenage life. His mum is a sex therapist and he has issues with his ability to get a girl.
Eventhough it is about teenagers I found that I could still enjoy the show as it made me laugh the things that you know all teenagers go through.
Looking forward to another series.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Final Crisis in Books

What. On. Earth. ?!?!?
I picked this one up out of curiosity as part of DC's ongoing hardbacked editions of famous(?) stories and, honestly? I wish I hadn't bothered.
The 'Final Crisis' was on ongoing series arc across several different properties - Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, etc - prior to the 'New 52' and - I have to say - is everything that would put average Joe off superhero comics in that I found the story to be convoluted, pretentious, and making next-to-no-sense-whatsoever.
Avoid.
