Mariafrancesca (30 KP) rated A Discovery of Witches - Season 1 in TV
Mar 31, 2019
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!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2579 KP) rated The Fairy-Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, #1) in Books

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.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Mystic Vale in Tabletop Games
Mar 18, 2018
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.
Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Texas Hold 'Em in Books
Feb 13, 2018
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.

A lot of the Cinematography (3 more)
The dialogue
The Writing
No conflict
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.

Suspense
Murder
Teen/ young adult
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

Can follow my favourite authors
My favourite reading app
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.

Not funny (1 more)
Very loose idea for a plot
Very poor 80's style teen comedy
This definitely tries to capture the vibe of films like Ferris Bueller's day off and Risky Business to name a couple. It fails badly though. Despite quite an ensemble cast most only have a few scenes or cameo roles. It's just not that funny and goes from one odd scene to the next. There are better more recent teen comedies than this around.
