This book was just the book for me. I found myself in love with Felicia Day's quirky and unique experiences. This book is full of fun, horrifying, and hilarious stories that shows the reader just how awesome she is.
Felicia didn't hold back in this book, you get an in depth look into her life and how she became who she is today. You learn about her depression, her health issues, her friendships, and her family.
I'm so glad that I purchased this book. It was quirky and hilarious and I loved every minute of it.
If you're looking for a fun geeky experience, this is the book for you.

Dark
I found this one on Netflix. It's fairly dark, but doesn't start off that way. Involves a woman and her boyfriend traveling through Bosnia when their car breaks down in the woods(filled with mines) and they meet a couple of Serbian men who claim to want to help but ignite memories from her childhood during the war. Her boyfriend finds out just what she's made of when the two men turn out to be not so helpful. Decent acting and cinematography. The story unfolds well. I doubt kids would be interested, but this movie is worth a watch. Very interesting tale.

Decent heist film
I didn't see any reviews before seeing this so I had an open mind. I didn't expect much but found it enjoyable enough as a fan of the the other films. The cast is overall impressive, although Helena Bonham Carter was a bit panto and Rihanna doesn't have many lines. I thought James Corden was miscast as the insurance investigator. Cate Blanchet and Anne Hathaway stood out the most.
It doesn't have the Razmatazz and humour of the original, but it did have a couple of ties to the other films. Don't expect anything too deep or meaningful and you should enjoy it.

Creepy and unsettling
Being in the horror category I was expecting this film to be different, to me it was more like a thriller. I liked the way this film was made, it seemed at the beginning like the relationships were forced, but I think that added to tension leading to unsettleness as the film went on. From what I read I wasn't really sure what to expect, I also didn't know what was real at first. But I found it compelling but without connecting with the characters, watching from the outside. The story was good and I like the way it progressed albeit slightly slower than expected.

Unbelievable!
So just a quick recap, this series is all about Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenager from Jersey city. She goes through everything a teenager with strict parents go through, worrying about curfew and what would happen if your parents found out you were a mask-wearing, cape-flying superhero with powers. The concept is original and I loved that there was a very unique protagonist with a relatable storyline so I was really excited to find out about the next adventure Kamala would embark on.
Unfortunately, I was not impressed.

Promoting self belief and acceptance.
Not really sure what theI point of this film was.
To me this movie made no sense other than promoting self acceptance, love and family dynamics.
I went into it expecting a scifi, empowering, adventure story, instead I found it overall lacklustre. I was honestly bored after half an hour which rarely happens and the disappointing thing was, that this could have been a great film, it had good potential.
Im not even sure this film would appeal to kids to be honest.
However I would say its very colourful and the visuals are pretty good.

This Netflix "teen drama" original isn't so original. It's basically a modern day "Fatal Attraction" (showing my age? Lol) with high schoolers. It wasn't too bad, though. The acting was decent enough and the cinematography is on par with many modern movies. Nothing too graphic in this but has some mild sexual content and violence. I found myself asking the same question I always do with movies like this.... Why aren't the characters a little more honest and a little smarter? Lol. Guess it wouldn't be very dramatic and definitely wouldn't last long enough to be a movie. Overall I'd say it's worth a watch if you can't find much else.

Addicting but lots of problems.
I use to be on Tumblr non stop but slowly faded out of it but I still get on every once in awhile.
The apps not terrible it's just I've always found that half of the stuff doesn't load there are so many ads on it and I don't know I just don't feel like it does is good in and out but trying to load it in a web browser on your phone doesn't really help either I'm not really sure what they could do to improve it I just know that I'm not a huge fan of it in app form.
