ashezbookz (32 KP) rated The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One (Women Are Some Kind Of Magic, #2) in Books
Jul 5, 2018
After I read the princess one - I realized this was a series that I needed to continue and immediately found this book at the library (actually I think I may buy both because they were that on my level). This book's subject matter is more intense than the first book, and it was somewhat harder to read, because damn if all of the things written weren't so true to life. Very along the current movement going on with women empowerment - such a lovely book.

Ugh - 3-4 stars. I love contemporary, etc. but I found the MC in this book to be a wee bit annoying. Yes, what they're doing is awesome because the boys are absolute assholes in this book, but at a certain point when your potential love interest acts like a jerk (somewhat) and you just whine about how sad you are about it.. no thank you. Still, the message was awesome - so applause - girls need to fight back, especially in some of those situations - female empowerment FTW!

Found another great sci-fi drama/ thriller on Netflix called "Ex Machina"(not Netflix exclusive). The acting and cinematography were really good. The story unfolds beautifully and ends with a really good twist. This is a really thought provoking movie about technology and keeps you interested throughout. Alicia Vikander was amazing. She played her part perfectly. There is some full frontal female nudity, but not sex(deals with robots that look human). Not really for kids, but this one is really worth a watch!
Erika (17789 KP) rated The Meg (2018) in Movies

Goofy is the best word to describe this movie. It wasn't terrible, but I found it a little too comical to be taken seriously. I'm not sure what the intention was with the film, Jason Statham seemed to have fun with his goofy role. The film was completely predictable, and there wasn't one thing that was original or new.
The ending was especially comical for me, Statham VS Meg, in the water was so out of the realm of realism. But, it was amusing.

MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Violets Are Blue (Alex Cross, #7) in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I am reading the Alex Cross books for the first time and have a lot to catch up on. I am enjoying the way each book leads to the next and repeatedly find myself glad I don't have to wait to find out what happens next. As soon as I finish one I start the next.... I found this one difficult to read as the vampire storyline is just too out there. The story wrapped up well and I am moving on to the next.

Better than expected
Found this little gem on Netflix(original). The acting, cinematography and effects are decent. The story played out well. A little bit of a slow starter but kept the interest throughout. No big names that I knew, but the characters were well played. Takes place in the eighties in Scotland and it feels like you're watching a movie made in the eighties. If you're into creepy, supernatural horror flicks this one will please you. Not "The Conjuring" good but still worth a watch.

Enjoyable and catchy
I came late to this, after the hype had reached me and whilst I found it to be an exciting, enjoyable and engaging movie, I felt it didn't quite live up to the way it had been reviewed by my friends and family. That's not to say I didn't find myself tapping my feet and gunning along, just that although I will watch again at some point, I'm not going to be in the club who watched this hundreds of times a week!

Just pick this manga up for the artwork as it is stunning! Absolutely beautiful ❤
I must admit I haven't read the original novel but after reading this I would like to give it a go.
The only negatives I found in this book is that it felt a bit rushed like too much was packed into one volume so things got a bit confusing at times. Maybe reading the novel will clear things up.

Caitlin Ann Cherniak (85 KP) rated Sweet Destiny in Books
Nov 15, 2018
From Goodreads: This story I found to be quite boring. Mia does have a backbone, and she seems to know what she wants, but I don't know how she finds Kenyon so appealing. All I saw in him was a pompous d-bag. I mean, at least he never cheated on a woman, I guess. For a novella, there was barely in action in it. Romances like these seem to get lamer and lamer the more I read them. Huh, I wonder what that says about me.

An epic journey worthy of Brooks and Tolkein
This is my favourite one of the DT series so far. It really was an epic journey. I loved the characters and how verything came together. King's sense of humour is there throughout the story; the emotional journey is as epic as the physical one.
I couldn't put this one down, I found myself glued to every word and despearate to know what was going to happen. I can't wait to read the next one.
