RavenclawPrincess913 (253 KP) rated Hotel Magnifique in Books
Jun 10, 2022
I just finished reading Hotel Magnifique by Emily J Taylor. This book is about a magical hotel that only comes around once and a while. In it Jani discovers the disturbing secrets of "Hotel Magnifique." I chose to read this book by discovering it on Bookishfirst. I loved the cover it caught my attention it's so pretty so I decided to read the description and look it up on Booktok. I'm glad I did I loved it it's a wonderful interesting story. It's one I wish I could read again. Let's be honest Jani was irritating at first though but I understood their reasoning for it. If you can get past that it's a definite amazing read. If you love fantasy and magical stories definitely read this.
So the cover what I love about it is the feathers surrounding the clock and key the person who designed the cover did a really good job 5/5 for the cover 4/5 for the story.

Picture Us in the Light is a heartbreakingly honest book that feels so real you may find yourself second guessing if it is actually fiction.
Crying, laughing, and feeling your way through this unputdownable book is normal.
The main character feels real and the relationships between characters are well thought out and developed. None are just stand ins that make you second guess the plot. The plot is solid if not heartbreaking.
I am normally not one to read really emotional books but after getting the first look at this one I had to know what would happen next. The full book did not disappoint.
Perfect for fans of realistic contemporary fiction. Just be aware that this is one book you may just have to read in one sitting so you can get all of the emotions out at once.

To start of the first working day of May (thank you bank holiday Monday), I whizzed out from work to see Ghost in the Shell. I honestly thought I'd missed it, but luckily they had one showing on for a couple of days just after work. So it was a Tuesday double. I liked it as a film, story line wasn't bad and I liked the effects... what I did not like was her diving off buildings every chance she got. There were a lot of shots where the background suddenly comes rushing at you... if you have vertigo that is induced by things like that, this is not the film for you. I felt a bit queasy every now and then, I'm hoping I didn't miss anything good while I was looking at the floor!

Well I've had this game 3 month and I've completed it twice. Take that as you will.
The game itself is really fun, plenty of game play and then when you finish the main story, before the big fight with Bowser, you can go back and finish collecting Moons and outfits or souvenirs. After the first time, when you go to play again I found that I couldn't actually remember what had happened so I enjoyed going through the story again and kind of cheating my way through the bits I did remember, like hidden moons I couldn't find. There's some boss levels I hated, like the Metro City worm thing and the damn rabbits! But they just made me want to defeat them more lol. Good game. Makes me want to get Paper Mario too if its anywhere as good as this!

Bruce Dern recommended Amadeus (1984) in Movies (curated)
"What did I think?" you ask. Well, I can sum that up in 1 word...HILARIOUS! Memoirs aren't typically my thing, but it was impossible not to fall in love with this one. Jen writes with an effortless yet descriptive style. She's not too high brow, but manages to sound like a writer who also happens to be a normal, every day person. The anecdotes she shares are, by turns, hilarious, scary, & heart felt...like any normal person's life.
This book was easy to read & hard to put down.

This book was highly recommended to me and I tried to like it, I really truly did, but there was something about it, that just didn't work for me. I am not sure what it was, but it was not my favorite book and I am not sure that I liked any of it. I am giving it a 5 because it wasn't horrible, it just wasn't for me. I think it should be given the chance, but know that it may not be the book for you.

Very surprisingly I quite enjoyed this?! Yes it's very cheesy, what did you expect? I'm sure most people have panned this just because Britney is in it? It has a TV film feel to it but it's actually a pretty decent road trip film as a group of once close young friends head to L.A. together for different reasons. I thought Britney acted a lot better than I expected and it isn't overloaded with her songs for those who aren't fans of hers. It's not a bad film by any means.

Loved it!
Absolute literacy gem! The ability to consider the thoughts and feelings from the point of view of the main character is exceptional and allows the reader to really get inside the mind to consider how she would have felt. I haven't really read this type of book before, however my friend really encouraged me to read it which I'm glad she did! It had me hooked from the start, and I needed to turn over the page to see what came next!

I love this book. I love trains just as much as books. I enjoyed the charthers in the book. It about a family that has to make adjustment on the fly. I quite enjoyable. I love how this is a Classic. I did not know this book was out there to read while I was growing up. The Children name are Bobby, Phil and Paul.
