Charlotte (184 KP) rated A Plague Among Us (Mimi Goldman Chautauqua Mysteries #8) in Books
Oct 17, 2021
A Plague Amongst Us is the eighth in the series and it doesn't disappoint. Not only is it fresh and current - using the Covid-19 pandemic as a theme - but it also reminds us about human nature.
Full of twists and surprises you'll be kept guessing all the way through. Strong female main characters are always a plus and this definitely has those.
It would be great to see this turned into a TV series. I can easily see myself sat with my tea and biscuits just like I did when I read it.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) in Movies
May 9, 2022 (Updated May 23, 2022)
Following closely on from No way home as more about the multi verse is discovered. With Sam Raimi directing there are some nice Horror theme touches throughout the film. So making this a bit different to the normal Marvel fare. I was a bit surprised at the plot direction of the main story, having not seen Wanda Vision series. I imagine that would fill in a lot of gaps before seeing this. There are plenty of nice surprises through the various Multiverses.
Still it has amazing visuals and action scenes as you expect from Marvel filling out the blockbuster standard you expect. Definitely one to see on the big screen.
David McK (3557 KP) rated Skulduggery Pleasant in Books
Jan 26, 2024
I read (or heard) somewhere that this was attempting to be the heir to the Harry potter crown, and I can definitely see the similarities: a secret world alongside our own full of magic, where a dark sorcerer wants to gain control over the mortal world, and where a young pre-teen is introduced to the world and has (to them) unknown connections to it already, and some unpleasant relatives...
However, unlike the Harry Potter series, this is primarily set in and around Dublin (rather than London) - and so, to me, is closer to home - while the home life of the protagonist is far more settled: she's not an orphan, and lives with her family.
I also found Skulduggery Pleasant to be more of an interesting character than Dumbledore, as well as playing a far larger role in the proceedings.
Finally, I may yet read more of these.
