Its a film. Jim, not as masterpiece.
If you're a star trek fan, you've already seen this. If you're not, you likely won't watch it. I thoroughly enjoy the movies versus the series. It shows the depths of the years of friendship these people really had. #rip spock, #rip mccoy, #rip scotty

2.5 stars.

I'm still not entirely back into my paranormal/sci-fi reading, and this was maybe a little too sci-fi for my liking.

I was intrigued to start with, then a little bored, then nothing, then a little excitement crept in and then huh...that seemed easy.

I'm not interested in continuing the series.

Thank goodness I got this for free and I will not be reading the next book in the series because it was horrible. So much indecisiveness. I felt like a rubber band that was being pulled in all directions with no release.

Doomsday Killer
Another very good series of Dexter, although for me the least interesting main plot so far. Dexter is tracking another serial killer reenacting scenes from the bible to bring about the end of the world. Colin Hanks guess stars this time round. Still very good but not as exciting as the last 3 series and some twists I didn't think worked.. But a great finale!

I couldn't love this series or Terrible anymore than I already do. If you haven't started this series, you so should. It's a great Urban Fantasy series that combines ghosts, mystery and romance and it is AMAZING.

So in this we see it from Terrible's POV as he tries to track down who's been attacking prostitutes in Downside. It was interesting seeing how Terrible worked and the relationship between him and Bump.

We see bits of him with Chess and how, even so early on in the series, he wants to spend time with her and get to know her better. It's kinda sweet really, and just another reason why I love Terrible. Okay, so he's not the greatest looking guy but he has such a great heart underneath.

I'm eagerly awaiting book 6 in the series!

[The Cuckoo's Calling] by [Robert Galbraith aka J.K Rowling] was a mystery in the classic sense. The character of Cormoran Strike is one that a series can be built around and I could not really tell who the culprit was until it was revealed at the end. I was very pleased with this book and will be reading more of this series.

I did notice though that the author seems to like protagonists that are from broken families and have not had the best childhoods. Also the author seems to like to make the privileged the antagonists.

Hmmm...
That's all I find myself saying. I've heard a lot of debate about the Netflix series & how it glorifies suicide. After reading the book, & not yet having watched the series, I don't see how one can say that. I found it just plain sad & heartbreaking. It is so easy to look past the signs of suicide. It's frightening to think about how many times this might really happen. Not necessarily in this dramatic a fashion but, how many times people take for granted having another chance or being afraid of what someone else thinks or might think about them.

My Moms’ DIY Gay Wedding
Abertalli just keeps fleshing out this web of relationships she has created, starting with her novel Simon Vs. the Homosapian Agenda. In this installment of the not-a-series series, Molly Peskin-Suso is struggling with the possibility of rejection, her relationship with her twin sister, and planning her moms’ wedding in under three months! It was refreshing to see the event that we are leading up to in a realistic YA novel be a gay wedding and not a prom.


Edit: Also I cried, I haven’t done that in a while.
