tapestry100 (306 KP) rated Snotgirl, Vol 1: Green Hair Don't Care in Books
Aug 2, 2017
Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com
I picked this up on a whim (I find that I really enjoy most Image titles), and what started out as a seemingly fluff story about fashion bloggers and their rather shallow lives takes a surprising turn into something more... sinister? A mysterious "resurrection", possible supernatural elements, a stalker, a police investigation into the possible death of the possibly resurrected friend, and another possible murder. Or is it all just an allergy drug-induced hallucination? We'll have to wait until the next collected edition to find out more, but needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly intrigued to find out what happens next.

Camp Fun!
I am a big fan of Noelle Stevenson after reading Nimona. It was no surprise to me that this book was awesome! This comic has the same kind of strange girls being themselves, no matter how odd or different, vibe. Mix in some weirdness, some supernatural woodland creatures, fun adventures, an overbearing camp counselor, and a camp leader who seems a little flighty, and you have Lumberjanes. The girls’ robust personalities are so varied, and are illustrated so well. It is refreshing. The book was fun, interesting, hilarious, and appropriate for everyone. I cannot wait to pickup volume 2!!!

I Received this ebook from netgalley for an open and honest review.
I started this book and thought ahhh it isn't my thing, I'll give it a few more chapters and i'm really glad I did, once they started going to the theatre imaginique it got really interesting! I love the supernatural aspect to this, how it's being connected to the elements that make you strong. It was a really interesting read. The only issue I had was there were a few sentences that didn't make sense, they had somehow become gobbledygook.
Other than that it was a really good book and definitely recommend it!

I’m slowly working through the Peter Grant series. I found this on easier to follow than previous ones.
At first it is just a story of two missing girls and PC Grant is there to make up the numbers. It does become apparent that there is a supernatural element when unicorns are mentioned!!
I enjoyed the story but I don’t know why there was such an emphasis on the fact that all the people in the Herefordshire village were white. I know Peter is black but I was expecting from the constant reference, for there to be some racial issues. These never materialised so the whole issue was totally irrelevant.

Great
Finally! A really good supernatural thriller/ horror film. The cinematography was on par. The acting was great(the little boy was quite impressive!). The story unfolded really well with a few jump scares and an interesting take on certain ideologies. Very well written. A little predictable in a couple parts, but not enough to ruin the movie. The only thing that disappointed me was that, as always seems to be the case anymore, it left itself open for a sequel. Hollywood can't resist itself, I guess(always looking to "piggyback" on a potential hit)but other than that I highly recommend this film. REALLY worth a watch!

Fast Paced
Fast paced read that draws the reader into the story
This was an enjoyable read that was incredibly fast paced. I was excited to see some of my favorite characters from previous King books make small cameo appearances and one played a starring role. If you haven't read through Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch yet, I highly recommend you do so before starting in on this one.
As with King's best work this starts out with the horrors that humans do to each other and then quickly delves into the supernatural. I went through this one quickly and it was quite a fun listen.

Beautiful story
Contains spoilers, click to show
A lovely tale of love, loss and recovery. The story follows Lauras pursuit to fulfil a friend's dying wish while dealing with her own past and learning to trust in herself and others again.
It's a delightful little read with lots of mini tales written by one of the characters about the 'lost things' he has collected over the years.
I truly enjoyed the idea that all the little things that get misplaced over the years have been collected and are just waiting to be reunited with thier owner.
However the idea of the ghost in the house spoiled it slightly

Spooky Scary Reaps
The Reaping- is a underrated horror jem, that not alot of people talk about.
The plot: Katherine Morrissey (Hilary Swank), a former Christian missionary, lost her faith after the tragic deaths of her family. Now she applies her expertise to debunking religious phenomena. When a series of biblical plagues overrun a small town, Katherine arrives to prove that a supernatural force is not behind the occurrences, but soon finds that science cannot explain what is happening. Instead, she must regain her faith to combat the evil that waits in a Louisiana swamp.
It might be bad movie from other critics, but to me its a underrated horror jem.
