Album Favorite

"I could have chosen I, II, III, IV, Houses Of The Holy or Physical Graffiti. Not totally sure why I chose this one, but it starts with ‘The Song Remains The Same’ and ends with ‘The Ocean’, so it almost doesn’t matter what’s in the middle! With those bookends, it was always going to be a classic. But of course there are things I like in the middle, or else it would be a shit sandwich. Every time I get on guitar I play ‘Over The Hills And Far Away’. I’m not a fan of ‘The Crunge’. ‘Dancing Days’ is like an early version of ‘Kashmir’ and the album’s got some reggae on there. ‘No Quarter’ is a great thing to wake up in the morning to because it sort of builds and builds and builds and then sort of scares you out of bed. And ‘The Ocean’ is what I always play on the drum kit - I think if anything Led Zeppelin is defining what rock drums are supposed to be. And Jimmy is a god – a golden god! And hands down my favourite guitar player of all time. I could just turn off the sound and watch his fingers I’m that obsessed. He never seems to play the same thing twice when you’re looking at live footage. He’s always raucous and doing battle with his guitar, instead of just commanding it. I like to watch people that don’t have amps that do the work for them."

The plot is amazing. The twists are crazy! You always think you know what's going on and then the author changes the path and your mind is blown. This happens multiple times through the book. (0 more)
Amazing Book!
I can't rave about this book enough. The twists in this book are to die for. It keeps you guessing through to the end. I finished it in under a day because I just couldn't put it down. If you like books that keep you interested through to the end, this is one to add to your shelf!!

I like this app most of the time. It does find the shortest way, and does a good job at notifying you of traffic. I have one major issue with this app; when it tells you to get onto an access road to avoid a slow down on the interstate. Because everyone gets the same idea. I ended up stuck in traffic for an extra 20 minutes on Saturday because it told me to go onto an access road, that happened to be closed for construction. Next time, I'll know to just ignore those suggestions.

I enjoyed the humor, the voice acting, and the plot. I also liked that the heroine wasn't just there to be married off once she finished what she had to do. I found the songs especially delightful. (0 more)
I saw the songs on Youtube long before I watched the movie. The movie lived up to the catchy songs, though I wasn't sure it would. Some parts of the movie, like the killer coconuts, probably could have been left out or beefed up, but I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable movie.

cool 1st/3rd person alternating chapters, lovable MC, tension (0 more)
With this book, I felt like I gained an insight into Lewis and the human experience. There isn't just one mystery to be solved, or one lie being told. May's characters are deep and full of surprises. Fin, the MC, must return to the land that was once home, but is also a source of distress, to solve the murder of a former classmate. I'm only 22, so my youth isn't haunting me yet, but Fin is still relatable and has my heart.

So I just finished the Reign finale and I may have to watch it again to have a full understanding of what exactly happened because it didn't feel like a whole hour passed as I was watching it. There was also a lot of loose ends that didn't get tied up. I should probably read up on the history of what actually happened, too. All I can say now is I'm really going to miss this show and thanks to everyone involved for 4 seasons of such a beloved show.

Brings you into Lucy Barton's other world (0 more)
Would be useful to read My Name Is Lucy Barton beforehand (0 more)
An intricately beautiful collection of characters
Elizabeth Strout has a unique ability to create a whole world of detailed and emotional characters that you can just follow throughout the series of books. While you see much less of Lucy Barton in this book, we see how her family members and people in her community have fared. It seems to me like a modern day To Kill a Mockingbird, especially the part about poverty in areas of America.

I read this book on a recommendation. It has been talked about with much praise from many people I admire. The idea of finding love, losing self, and finding self is very good and this book covers it well. My issues is the style and format of the book. I like things that flow and it is choppy because it is written in a series of letters it seems. The voice is incredible and I will recommend this book but for me there was no flow just a series of photos with some missing.

It's so cheesy good (1 more)
The transformation was so bad I laughed till I cried
So bad but screw it I liked it.
Okay Sssssss(7 s') is a totally scrappy B-horror movie that I've only met like 5 people who've seen it, two of which are my parents. It follows the story of a mad scientist who is obsessed with snakes and kind of just spirals out of control from there.

The acting is hilariously bad but I found myself getting really into the movie and the characters.
