Not my cup of tea
Not my type of book. Story was rather bland but that's how I feel romantic books. The characters were a bit annoying, like teenagers having a 'relationship' or an extended episode of Dawson's Creek. It's about a man and woman who attempt to have a relationship despite having secrets - that's the extent of the book.

What an incredible book broaching subjects often talked about under the cover of darkness, or in a light that points fingers in all the wrong directions. This book is dark and scary but also so real because this is the world teenagers live in. To speak up or not speak up vigilante justice because technicalities or influence mean more than you as a person do.

One of my best reads in 2019!
If you haven't read this book, or can only refer it to the movie... Go read this now!
From the minute I started reading I could not stop. Such a light hearted yet gripping book about teenagers with CF. I learned so much terminology that goes with CF too. There was tears and laughter... It was a beautiful read.

What a really fascinating concept. The premise of this story really intrigues me and I was desperate to learn more. Two teenagers seem to reset at 11am every 48hours and have no memory of who they are, what they like, or who anyone else is. They are figuring it all out together and are coming across tidbits about each other and themselves. The cliffhanger was killer!

It will put a spell on you
Contains spoilers, click to show
Hocus pocus is one of the best magical witchy movie I have ever watched, 3 witches, 3 kids saving the day, a quick musical number with one of the best witchy songs ever, and a candle lit by a Virgin, what's not to love about this movie

Great romance movie
Movie is about strong first love between two teenagers. Not your cup of tea? Don't watch it just to cry how bad it is, because it is actually good. In this movie, Bella, who seems to be an introvert, moves to a new school. She is supposed to feel and act awkward because everything is new to her, and Kristen did an amazing job. Edwards being abusive as some people complain, well...a person who feels strong emotions for another and at the same time wants to protect that person from himself, no one would be rational at that point. Remember when you were madly in love, how did you act? Add to that the fact that Edward is a vampire, a killing machine. Great movie about true love of two teenagers and how they overcome problems and their differences.

This is my honest opinion.
It is not great. I see all the teenagers using it, my son included, and I can see the amazement. Funny filters, disappearing messages, stories etc.
But I don't feel safe using it. I feel vulnerable to bullys. This isn't an app I will let my son use in the future. It hides a multitude of sins, and that is not OK

Sleepaway Camp 2009
Since its Friday the 13th today, im going to review the remake/reboot of Friday the 13th film. The one that was actually pretty good. The one that was the 12th one. This one continued teenagers being teenagers. The one with Jason as the villian.
The Plot: Against the advice of locals and police, Clay (Jared Padalecki) scours the eerie woods surrounding Crystal Lake for his missing sister. But the rotting cabins of an abandoned summer camp are not the only things he finds. Hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees lies in wait for a chance to use his razor-sharp machete on Clay and the group of college students who have come to the forest to party.
platinum dunes produce this one, and i actually like their horror remakes, and i think their really underrated.
This one continues to be scary, horrorfying, terrorfying and overall a good friday the 13th film.

Silent hill for teenagers....Creepy and pretty terrifying.
The potential to be made into a film is definitely lurking there.
The four main characters, teenagers on the threshold of their senior year, are interesting and quirky. Each has a different personality that gels well with the others but doesn't then blend into one boring entity.
Set in 1989, a time before the internet and mobile phones (as we know them now and the actual ability to carry one) Dagger Hill has a small town charm. A charm that contrasts against the awful things that happen there.
This is at least a young adult read with themes of horror and violence. It could easily sit on a shelf with books written by such greats as King and Laymon. It's the kind of book that crawls into your thoughts when you least expect it and creates vivid scenes in your mind.
