Not entirely realistic
Heart grabbing
This book is a really good read, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story which is based on true events and real people. I like how the characters renained hopeful of a future considering their unfortunate situation. However, like others have said I feel like the author down played the intensity of everything, despite this, some parts were still get hard to read. Overall, 9/10. Would read again and recommend.

What a fantastic show. Very clever concepts with great characters and a wonderfully funny and realistic representation of the social circles Nadia has. Natasha Lyonne very clearly channels AL Pacino in her portrayal which isn't a bad thing but shows she's a very good and engaging actress. Loved the depth and layers to the characters and the twists and redirects were constantly superb. Kansas City Shuffles everywhere.
The comedy was funny and the poignancy was powerful.

Auburn (57 KP) rated Mackenzie (Heritage Bay Series, #2) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The best kind of emotional journey a book could have. Mackenzie sucks you in from page one and keeps the twists coming not to mention the all of the juicy drama M.A Foster can smush into a book. The anticipation of the romance and the slow realistic burn of it just adds to the already perfect mix. Making this one of the best contemporary books I have read lately. You will laugh, you will cry, and you may just stay up all night reading it.
Auburn (57 KP) rated Ruthless Magic (Conspiracy of Magic, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter in this glorious book about what someone would do to save themselves and others. Multiple POV make it a unique story delving deeper into each person's personal story as well as together.
I thoroughly enjoyed the magic and they way it had to be sung. The fact that society knows about magic and those who are legacies have a shoe in to keep their magic was realistic. I just want to see this world come alive on a big screen!

Sang Kromah (6 KP) rated The Marvelous Mrs Maisel in TV
Jan 29, 2018
Amazingly Witty
I expected it to be good since it was created by Gilmore Girls creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, but I didn't expect it to be perfect. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is timely, realistic, with writing so above-par that watching anything else after watching an episode, leaves you unsatisfied. By the last episode, I was so angry at myself for binging it, because nothing else seemed good enough afterwards.

Great read
John Green has a talent for making his characters feel like real people with very real problems. Aza's struggle with her mental health is heartbreaking and engaging, but the true magic of this book is how her struggles also impact those around her. Davis and Daisy are both well rounded characters who have realistic reactions to Aza's illness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like an inside look at the spiraling invasive thoughts that can be caused by mental illness.
Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Sadie in Books
Dec 10, 2018
I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and because of all the great buzz it had already I was really excited to get it. I loved the way the chapters alternated between Sadie and West and I really loved that the ending wasn’t tied up in a nice little package. It felt more realistic which I enjoyed. I would recommend this book to someone and I’ll probably pass it off to a coworker who was really interested in it once I described it.

I used to love this film as I like the fact the science was quite good. I like Kate Winslet's character and her difficulties in attempting to explain the severity of the situation to politicians. I like the ending where it shows how the virus jumped to humans. I found that I wanted the punch Jude Law throughout the film but am glad that he at least wasn't completely able to get away with it.

Good story
To infinity and beyond!
Well I was surprised when I heard they were doing Toy Story 4. It's been 9 years since the 3rd which was a fitting end for the franchise. This is the gift that keeps on giving. It's amazing the amount of detail in the animation, textures, lighting, everything looks so realistic. Along with a great heartfelt story with plenty of laughs along the way. This is a great family film that is fun for all ages.
