Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Pretty Girls: A Novel in Books
Mar 15, 2018
DNF at 64% (16/05/2016)
I had this on audiobook and I just couldn't get into it. The narrators voices were putting me off throughout and I found myself glazing over the story and thinking of other things while listening to it, meaning I missed half the story really.
I really enjoyed the first 50% but after that I just couldn't get into it. I will buy it in paperback form in the future in order to finish it, but I cannot listen to it anymore.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2395 KP) rated Heat Rises (Nikki Heat, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
In the middle of bitter cold winter weather, NYPD detective Nikki Heat investigates a case of a priet found dead in a bondage club. This book felt like the best tie in to the TV show yet, and I loved catching all the references to episodes or plot lines. As with the others, it was still over written in parts, but that seems to be getting better.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Greenhouse Academy in TV

If you are looking for a lighthearted teen drama then the Greenhouse Academy is for you.
Each episode is only 25 minutes long making it incredibly easy to binge watch (I did two seasons in a day).
The story line can be a bit over the top in places, the special effects and acting can be terrible however I really found it just added to the charm. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can not wait for season 3 to find out who was at the door!!

Chrissie-ann (78 KP) rated The Terror in TV
Jul 16, 2018
The start of this show I really enjoyed, i found it captivating and compelling. It was interesting to see how these men were living on their journey and bits of their back story. Things turn bad for the man ad the show carries on and it seems to reach a high point. And then from there I thought it became slow, boring and tedious. It was a shame because of how well it had started. By the last episode I wasn't in any rush to watch it.
KarenRC (6 KP) rated Last Letter from Istanbul in Books
Jul 23, 2018
This book is a timeless love story written in a beautiful, lyrical way. The story itself was written from several different perspectives, which was quite easy to follow once I got into it and Lucy Foleys descriptive writing style easily transports you to each seperate setting really well. I found it very easy to get absorbed into the story and was eager to find out how everything was going to unfold. No spoilers, but, although bittersweet, I absolutely loved the ending and thought it was done brilliantly!

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.
ashezbookz (32 KP) rated Moxie: A Novel in Books
Jul 5, 2018
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!
Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Ex Machina (2015) in Movies
Jul 31, 2018 (Updated Jul 31, 2018)
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
Aug 25, 2018
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.
