Vegemite Girl (284 KP) rated The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn in Books
May 23, 2019
I didn't Love this book but I certainly didn't hate it either. I understand why it got the hype it did, the writing is great, once I started the book I didn't want to put it down, it had twists and turns throughout but I just didn't find myself loving it as much as I thought and in parts I felt that it kind of drawled on a little. The story premise itself was great and the layout of the story was just right, I feel like the little breaks in Evelyn's story really helped as her story is a lot to take in!

I dare you not to sing along
Little Shop of Horrors is one of those movies that if I find out you don't like it I'll never trust you to recommend movies to me again.... just kidding... but not really.
This movie has everything you could ever want
Catchy Music
Amazing Cast
Memorable Characters
Audrey II
and it's just campy enough to make you laugh without being ridiculous.
And if you haven't seen it I definitely recommend watching the Alternate ending which I really wish would have been the original ending from the start because it is 100x better which I didn't even think was possible.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Evolution: The Beginning in Tabletop Games
Mar 30, 2018
I like the theme of this game. My friends and AI always go with a theme, so one might be safari animals, insects, water creatures. The hardest part is remembering what creature is what.. did you just destroy my burrowing, flying, long-necked elephants? I suppose you don't have to name the species you are creating. But we find that it adds more fun. I have played this in my classroom with my 5th grade students when learning about evolution. It was helpful for them to understand how certain species survive over others and how some adaptations stick where others just don't cut the genetic code.
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Loved by the Pack (The Wolfpack Trilogy, #3) in Books
Jul 12, 2018
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say, this final book of the Wolfpack Trilogy really wasn't my style. I enjoyed the story and the plot but I just got disgusted with the sex scenes. Honestly, whenever the sex scenes started my face would just get a permanent "ew" look. <spoiler> Beastiality, knotting, and almost wolf rape etc... </spoiler>
I really did like the premise of the book. The plot was semi unique and there were some things in the book that I wasn't able to predict which was refreshing.
Ultimately, the series was interesting but definitely not my favorite.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Summer of 84 (2018) in Movies
Jul 2, 2019
In June of 1984 two huge events occured. One being my birth, but the other not quite as great, as there was a serial killer on the loose in Cape May. Four 15 year old boys, who were like The Monster Squad meets The Hardy Boys, know that every serial killer is someone's neighbor, and they think their neighbor fits the bill. Unlike the kids on the milk cartons, Summer of 84 is not to be missed. Just as every 15 year old boy is excited about spying on the hot girl across the street and seeing her change clothes, you should be just as excited to see Summer of 84.

Stylish with no substance
Here is yet another disappointing Netflix original. I like Alicia Vikander but sadly even she can’t save this, despite speaking Japanese impressively well. The film looks good and it’s very stylish, with an atmospheric and quite haunting soundtrack. The problem is that the plot is rather dull and even the confused mind of Vikander’s character can’t make it any more interesting. It just comes across as your average thriller with a decent setting, sadly story wise it isn’t anything we haven’t seen before. The ending is maybe slightly unpredictable but not entirely surprising either, and overall just a very uninspired film.

The Haunting of Hill House
By Shirley Hackson
⭐️⭐️
Hill House stood abandoned six miles off the road. Four people came to learn its secrets. But, Hill House, stood holding darkness within. Whoever walked there, walked alone.
This has been on my tbr forever and yay I finally got round to it. I was expecting more I found one little part a bit eerie but other than that it was spooky or creepy or scary. I like watching the characters change but it just wasn’t enough! A classic it may be but just didn’t do it for me especially when it’s classed as a classic horror!
