David McK (3364 KP) rated Interesting Times (Discworld, #17; Rincewind #5) in Books
Nov 7, 2021
Last seen in (I believe) <i><s>Mort</s>Eric</i>, Terry Pratchett returns to his original Discworld characters of Rincewind and TwoFlower (and Cohen the Barbarian). In this entry, Rincewind is 'rescued' by the Wizards of Unseen University - a University that has changed since he was last there - from his desert island, only to be sent to the Counterweight Continent, where war is brewing ...
For some reason, this is not one of the Discworld books I would return to all that often (never found the Rincewind stories to be amongst the most enjoyable), but still has plenty of laugh out loud moments, alongside some other shrewd observations about life in general.

This is a quick and enjoyable read and one that didn't disappoint.
Brie disappeared off the face of the earth 6 years ago and whilst the husband, Andy, was prime suspect, no evidence could be found against him. Now, a woman who appears to be Brie reappears and this sets off a chain reaction that has devastating results.
Written at a fast pace, with many twists and turns, this is a book with an intriguing plot that had me guessing most of the way through and although I did figure it out before the big reveal, it didn't spoil my enjoyment.
Thank you to HQ and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated I Kill Giants (2017) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
This is a movie that I have enjoyed so much from start to finish, the giants are amazingly done, you don’t get to see much of them, but when you do, you have the feeling of their sheer power and fear that Barbara is creating in these creatures.
But with the underlying story that her mother is ill and she takes herself off into a fantasy world to battle giants to escape the reality of true-life is so nicely done, I found myself very emotional towards the end of the film, but still lifted that Barbara has fought her way through against giants, bullies and the fears of losing her mother.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Insidious : The Last Key (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
I found this addition to the franchise less scary than the previous movies, yes it has all the key things you get in today’s shockers, the figure running quickly across the screen in the background, shadowy figures, loud noises after moments of silence and of course those creepy sounds that bounce around all the speakers to make you feel at ease. But I’m not sure if it is down to me seeing so many horror films and knowing what’s coming that I don’t seem to jump as much as I used to, although many of the jumpy scenes that do you the good old tricks may work on those that are very nervy when watching horrors.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This is the second instalment in the Ash and Blue series and I found it thrilling. There has been a lot of research gone into this book and it has a very easy flow to read. You can feel the emotions that the characters are going through and the conflict that Ryan feels with some of the decisions he has to make.
It definitely captured me from the first page and I couldn't wait to find out what was going on.
I'm not sure if there will be another one but I would certainly like to see one

I found this novella extremely interesting. There was a lot of information to take in. It's been written from the wife's point of view and you can't seem to work out 100% for guilty or innocent. My first instinct is yep, of course, he's guilty, he's bound to be but then there are little things that could say he's innocent.
I've enjoyed reading this and recommend you read it too.

Longwalks has been my favorite non-traditional social media apps I've found (though I'd hardly call it social.media - the focus isn't on your profile/profile picture etc.). Check in every day to keep a streak going, answer sometimes silly/sometimes serious prompts about your life (choose to keep your answers private, post anonymously, or publicly), and get bonus insightful questions when you join groups relevant to you. I've yet to have an uncomfortable or negative interaction and the vulnerability of everyone's answers is beautiful.
