Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Ultraviolet (Ultraviolet, #1) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
2.5 stars.
Hmm...well this started very slow and made me more aware of the fact that I'm not a fan of books that take place in mental hospitals/institutes.
It took a long time to get anywhere and I was on the verge of giving up when Faraday appeared and I started to get excited, thinking the story would pick up and get on with it. Unfortunately, we stayed in the mental hospital for another good portion of the book and we went through what synesthesia is, which I admit is very interesting, but didn't give much away with the plotline and where it was going. It was about 150 pages from the end when it started getting good and from there I more or less devoured it, only for it to turn rather sci-fi-y. I like sci-fi sometimes but not in this. I kinda felt let down.
I don't think I'll be reading the next book in the series.

Sometimes Sequels Shouldn't Happen
Pet Sematary Two- should of not happened but it happened. The same director who directed the first one directs this one. Just a fun fact.
The plot: When his mother, Renee (Darlanne Fluegel), dies, young Jeff Matthews (Edward Furlong) moves back to his hometown with his father, Chase (Anthony Edwards). Jeff grows friendly with Drew Gilbert (Jason McGuire) at school, who tells him about the Indian burial grounds that bring people and animals back to life, which led to the deaths of the Creed family who used to live in town. Desperately missing his mom, Jeff ignores warnings and buries her corpse, only to have her return in deadly zombie form.
Is anyone from the first one in this film, probley not. Im guessing not and is a new cast. Does this one even connect or relate to the first one, again probley not. It is its own movie.
I wouldnt reccordmned this movie.

Elizabeth Ann Brough (5 KP) rated The Other Queen (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #15) in Books

One of Philippa Gregory's Best
Philippa Gregory may have her critics, but I am not one of them. This is one of my favourite novels of hers and she does a great job of introducing the reader to the formidable Bess of Hardwick, a figure from history that I knew next to nothing about, but who was a witness to, and a part of, some important moments in history. One thing that I like about Philippa Gregory is that she is honest about how she "fills in the gaps" of history to craft her novels - her Author's notes at the end of her works always explain this and sometimes detail how it was done. I often reread Philippa's work and I'm definitely going to go back to this, it's been too long.
Kate (496 KP) rated Grey's Anatomy in TV

I love love love this series. I can't wait for series 16 to start.
It has so many highs and lows. You go on the journey with Meredith. You see her grow and go through so much especially when Derek died. It's surprising how much someone can go through so much and carry on. I have laughed and cried. I only started watching the series in 2018 and I completely binge watched this and was watching 5/6 episodes every evening but wasn't bored. Sometimes I couldn't stop watching as the episodes always ended on cliff hangers. It's believable as bad things happen, people do die when some series bad things don't happen. So many shockers along the way. It is a series that you can get into no whatever what series you start on...Somethings may not make sense but you can still grasp. I prefer watching it right from the start. My partner is now hooked.

Peter Shephard (2822 KP) rated Cards Against Humanity in Tabletop Games
May 29, 2020
Wonderfully wicked
Depending on the audience, this game will make or break the evening. Among most friends, and even family, it will be brilliantly horrible fun; sometimes, some of the cards need to be removed for certain situations - we've had to censor one game for a specific subject matter for a specific family member. This doesnt detract from the game, just needs a little forethought.
The game itself is both simple and brilliant, but pay attention to the age restrictions!! I cant imagine many 15 or 16 year olds playing this with family members!! (Although it would probably be hilarious with friends)
This is one of the games we regularly play when we are at friends houses, and often with a drink or two. Very good, and very wrong, fun!
