Apr 27, 2018
Poor Mabel is afraid of monster hiding in her room. She and her cat hide from the monster in her fort. But one day Mabel questions whether they’re all that bad. She finds out that the monster is just as scared of her as she is of him, and then they become friends and spend the day playing and dressing up and having tea. Mabel isn’t scared of monsters anymore. This is a very cute story about not being afraid and being brave enough to take the chance of making a friend. The illustrations are adorable! The monster is cute and not to scary.

Exciting ... but too much hype before resulted in disappointment
Contains spoilers, click to show
I love all of these movies, some more than others, but I love the interplay between them and I don't mind leaving some of the movies with more questions than answers. But I don't like leaving the movie feeling down. Obviously things will change for the gang in a future movie and we aren't going to end the series with all of those heroes turned to dust. I wouldn't even have minded an ending with impending doom ... but one filled with loss and no teaser of something better was really disappointing.

Wow. Just wow. What a story. This reminded me heavily of The Lovely Bones. The stories bore some similarities. I liked how the book was referenced in the story (pay attention or you’ll miss it).
The story moved along well. I personally had the plot figured out mid book but then again I watch hours and hours of criminal programs so I’m kind of an armchair expert haha.
I enjoyed the fact it jumped from perspective. It gave personality to the story.
The loss of a child. Unanswered questions. A runaway? Murder? Kidnapping? Hope. Heartbreak. Betrayal. Guilt. This story has a plethora of emotions. Definitely a must read.

If you start reading this book you won't stop!this book is written like a conversation between two people. It will guide you through the biggest questions of life and gives you an easy way to see solutions for problems in life with the '' Adler psychology '' - fo everyone who doesn't know it Adler was a great psychologist, same time as Freud and saw life a bit different. Long story short : everything can be changed - the opposite of Freud who thought what happened to you as a child will define the rest of your life.
This book is written in an easy way and is an absolute page turner ?

Bee (3 KP) rated History on Film/Film on History in Books
Feb 9, 2019
Anyone concerned with film criticism and historiophoty should read from Rosenstone.
His arguments on the accuracy of historical film, the representation of history on screen and the questions of "good" and "bad" films are engaging and a good introduction to this discourse while his writing is clear, his theories well referenced for wider research and his tone easily accessable.
He takes a closer look at History and the differences as well as similarities to history on screen as opposed to writing while questioning if there is even such thing as historical accuracy.
This is a great read for scholarly use but also for the casual fans of cinema.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Only Pleasure: Part 3 in Books
May 7, 2019
this book is a fab ending to the set, this book brings together all the emotions from the first to books and answers all the questions. This book has the same amazing characters. You will definitely need to read the other two books to appreciate this book. This is definitely a hot and steamy read to warm you up on these dark and cold nights. I loved this series on a whole and would definitely read them again. I cant wait for more from this amazing author in the future.
Highly recommended

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated When Aliens Weep: An Alien Apocalyptic Saga in Books
Jan 30, 2018
Omg... so much to say and yet no idea what to say. This series has been an amazing whirlwind from the beginning.. I am not even sure if this is the last book or not... it has an amazing ending that leaves it like it could be done..but also like another could come about. The characters I loved even when they were doing stupid things like betraying the others... I loved the plot and the ups and downs. So much I still wonder about but overall it answered so many questions and wonderings I had during the series. I loved this so much. Amazing
