Book Rating
This is a bone chilling page turner! Supernatural meets The Exorcist meets Law & Order in a gripping story that has just the right amount of humor, fear, suspense and resolution.

This book read like a dream. I couldn’t put it down. The story grabs your from the first page. There’s no boring build up. From the first paragraph your thrown into the fight.

This book leaves you ready for the next journey. Packed with everything needed to make a satisfying read and reader.

This scared me half to death. It seems quite an innocuous story to begin with, but it just builds and builds. It's very reminiscent of a few Stephen King stories (involving cars or creatures of the night), but at the same time, we shouldn't compare Joe Hill to Stephen King (I have GOT to stop doing that!). He very much has his own stories to tell. And this is a good one. And I quite like being scared to death, for the record.

2009 | Drama
This season is slow going, it started in the middle of season four where it looked like they were running out of ideas and they needed to stretch the storyline, I am now about half way through and I know feel that I want to carry on watching instead of thinking I need to just get past this episode to see what happens next. Episode 8 is brilliant so many references to 80's shows, let's see how the series pans out.

Say what you want but a girl needs her share of brooding vampires and this shows provides just that. I knew the book but I wasn’t very keen to continue the series as I didn’t like reading from her POV, but I always loved the mythology the author built and a TV series is perfect for me.
The locations are amazing (even though I’ve never seen Venice so empty xD) and the story is compelling. Can’t wait for the second season!
  
Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have just been sent to live with the grandmother they didn't know they had. The bigger surprise is that they are now responsible for keeping the fairy tale characters from causing trouble. Like the giant running around town…. Yes, this is a kid's series, but I found it charming and entertaining once it got past the slow start.

2016 | Card Game, Fantasy
I think this card-building game is really well done. I like the ability to add modifiers to your cards to change how your deck plays. The element of luck just adds more depth to the game. My one criticism is that it is easy to tell which cards are modified (because they are thicker), so if you are paying attention to what you have in your deck, you know if it is safe to push your luck before you bust.

You can almost taste the Texas/Mexican dust in your mouth and the heat of the sun on your back. A good read, the action starts just about at the beginning and continues throughout. If anything I would have wanted a bit more description between Santo and Rose as i still can't picture what the look like in my head. All in all a great start to what i hope will be and amazing series that I will continue reading.

Really? Another one?
So.... I loved the first film in this series "The Ultimate Gift". But this film is just bad. It tried to take the first one and copycat it without any of the drama, charisma or fun. This movie was boring. The main character was too nice and anything that he said to be mean felt out of character. The movie felt like a lazy cash grab.

I loved this show, watched it since day one, always trying to guess who A was, always getting it wrong ha! Loved the characters and their story lines the last few seasons got really good and more ‘darker’ and then we found out who A really was and I’m not sure I enjoyed the ending I feel like more could have been done, that or I’m just in denial that’s the end haha

I mostly use Goodreads for my own benefit, just to keep track of books I have read.
I also love being in competition with myself, so every year I set myself a reading challenge and see if I can beat the previous year.
I also love the fact that I can create my own book shelves and organise my books how I like.
