Love the new librarians. (0 more)

While watching this season it became apparent very quickly that it was a story that in some ways branched off from the film. The original librarian was off on his own adventure and this season was very much about the the three new ones and the guardian. There is a math wiz with a grape in her brain that gives her a 3D out of brain view of all things math which makes it easier to solve puzzles, there is a thief that can get in any where and also a architect/art history buff that can tell you what anything art related is or where it came from. Basically they have gotten the key aspect of the original librarian and split it in to three people and enhanced it by a thousand. If you like love mystery, action or just a good laugh there is every thing in this program.

Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated All of It in Books

Jan 30, 2019

LOVED THIS BOOK!! I couldn't get enough of Ronnie and Dimitri. I felt like I connected more with Ronnie that any other character. I loved the fact that she always came across so normal to me. She had your normal teenage trials and tribulations, but she wasn't whiny about it. Dimitri, well, all I can really say is SWOON! He is an amazing character, he's fun, sweet, sexy, and you can tell he really loves Ronnie.

The end is great and oh the feelings! This story is so original, I truly loved it. I'm not giving anything away! You must read to find out!

Kim Holden is a new author, and her eye for story telling is amazing! I can't wait to read more from this new author. She has a great eye for description which brings her characters and setting to life! I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve next.

Originally, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to see this film. I'm not a huge fan of horror, but I am a fan of Kubrick's The Shining. I'm not a huge fan of Stephen King, his writing style is obnoxious to me.
Anyway, I had no idea as to what to expect out of this film. While it was long, it was nicely paced, and I was never bored. I thought Euan McGregor was a great Danny. The story line was interesting, and I liked the new characters introduced.
My favorite part was the end, when they returned to the Overlook.
Also, with the way it was shot, you could tell the director was a huge fan of Kubrick's film. The overhead shots were a good choice.
Overall, I really enjoyed the film. BUT, seriously, the recurring lady in the bathtub freaked me out for a few days and I made sure my shower curtain was drawn all of the way back.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January

6.3

Book Rating

I have NO IDEA as to why I thought this YA book may be different from all of the other recent ones I've read, and subsequently sworn off.
There was way too much about race in this, it was so distracting. The main character, vanilla-boring January's physical appearance was mentioned at least every few pages. It's just bizarre to me, this book needed an edit.
The description promises a fantasy, well, there was a lot of fantasy that was talked about, but none that I saw. Show me, don't tell me.
Then, there was the introduction of a story within a story. I stopped reading, then thought to myself, wow, this is pretty crappy, but I'll keep on. After ten minutes, I officially returned the digital copy to the library.
This book was not magical, it was boring, and there was too much exposition. I am NEVER reading another YA book, unless it's a Star Wars one. I've learned my lesson, yet again.

Hey Smashbombers!

I wanted to tell you about a cool feature we have here on Smashbomb!

Did you know that you can link items that relate to each other? For example: a Movie that is based on a Book, you can link the Book and the Movie together - or link a Movie with the Movie soundtrack - or link a Tech item with a corresponding App - or a Podcast that is based on a TV Show.

You can link these related items together to help us all discover more items!

It's really easy to do, simply go to one of the relevant items, for example Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (MOVIE), click edit, scroll down to 'related items' and search for the other item, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (BOOK) - then hit 'SAVE' and the items will be linked, just like the picture example below!

Hopefully you will find this feature helpful,
Happy Reviewing & Linking!
Ollie.

All I want to be able to do in my boring quarantine life is to be able to add DLC to Video Game items in the same way you can add seasons to TV items. I'm just sad like that 😭
