Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Game On (Game On, #1) in Books

Jan 11, 2021

2.5 stars.

I couldn't get into this story, I don't know if it had anything to do with me giving my previous read, another mm romance book, 5 stars but I failed to gel with the story.

Don't get me wrong it had some nice moments and I loved that it was set in England, though I've never been there, but I didn't feel it.

This wasn't for me.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Grime and Punishment (The Brothers Grime #1) in Books

Jan 12, 2021

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’m rather picky about my MM Romances. I don’t know why, but I am. Josh Lanyon really started me on genre when I got book 4 in his Adrian English series for free one Christmas through All Romance E-Books. As soon as I read it I went and bought book 5 to see how it was all going to work out and I loved it. The only problem with that is the fact that I’ve probably been spoilt for most other MM books now.

That’s not to say it was bad or anything it just didn’t really do it for me, though I’m not entirely sure why. I liked the fact it was based around something different i.e. crime scene clearance, and it was interesting to read about the depth they go to to clean them.

The romance between the two main characters was quite sweet and progressed over time, which I liked much better than some others which just go straight into the hot and heavy. The two were likable in their own ways and when they finally kissed I was cheering them on.

I also really liked Gabe and Dave, they were always just looking out for Jack and trying to help him do the right thing, even if it didn’t always seem like it.

If you’re a fan of MM Romance’s then I’m sure you’ll like this.

Return to a galaxy far, far away with this sublime retelling of George Lucas's original Star Wars...

David Schwartz recommended By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume One (2010) in Movies (curated)

"The idea of Stan Brakhage’s films being transferred to DVD once seemed heretical. The preeminent avant-garde filmmaker of the past half century, Brakhage made hundreds of intense films, many of them silent, that seem to be pure celluloid expression—poetic visual studies based on the play of light, tactile editing, and frame-by-frame editing. He worked mainly in 16 mm, but also made movies that were painstakingly hand-painted onto IMAX-size frames. Yet shortly before his death, Brakhage embraced the idea of a Criterion set, acknowledging the reality of a future (okay, present) where his films were more likely to be seen by an individual, perhaps on a laptop, rather than projected in 16 mm to a small film-society audience. The ability to study Brakhage’s films frame by frame, and to read Fred Camper’s superb commentary, also enhances the experience, easing the bittersweet film nostalgia for die-hard celluloid purists."
