In America we trust
I truly love this series if you like YA dystopian Story's then this book is for you.
America Singer is a truly lovable protagonist who follows her heart and whilst this is not always the wisest of choices it does make a great story. America is a strong female who is a great inspiration for young girls to look up to.
Prince Maxon is also a great charcter although prince to Ilyria Maxon life isn't all glitz and glamour choosing between 30 strangers isnt as easy as the world thinks it is. he has pressure of war closing in on him at all sides his Dad wants him to go another direction and not all of the girls are what they seem.

Demon Kissed (Demon Kissed #1) by H.M. Ward
In this book you have the age old tale of good versus evil - angels versus demons - demons versus hunters - which ever way you want to look at it. In this they are Martis who are good, and Valefor who are bad. But then throw in a twist or two and you have a really good story.
The character development for all of them is good but I do have to say that the main female just irritated me at the beginning. She does get better as the book goes on though. The plot and storyline has a good pace to it and enough action to suit most.
Recommended for YA/Paranormal fans.

Great LGBTQIA representation in a YA novel
Representation MATTERS. Don’t let anyone tell you different. The two main characters in this book are GLBT – and asexual, which is a rarely-seen demographic. One of them is a WOC! And that’s IMPORTANT. We need representation of minorities in books, movies, TV, media – wherever it can be seen. So all those kids growing up, thinking they’re weird, or the odd ones out, or broken, can see themselves on the screen and realize that other people are going through the same things. That it’s NORMAL.
I also love the different formatting the author uses when representing texts, or phone calls, or the podcast that the kids create.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Slayer (Slayer #1) in Books
Mar 19, 2019 (Updated Mar 19, 2019)
When I saw that Kiersten White was writing a Slayer novel, I was completely intrigued. I really liked Paranormalcy.
So, the extent of my Buffy knowledge is limited to the film. But, apparently, crap has gone down, and everyone hates Buffy? The novel does an ok job at filling in necessary gaps, so I wasn't completely lost. Overall, the story was just meh and predictable. I'm fairly sure I've already figured out the entire book series to come. It's also another reminder that new YA is not for me, at all. The characters were...well, kind of meh. The story didn't really pick up until the last 100 pages Overall, this was an ok book, it wasn't good, but it wasn't god-awful. I definitely don't plan on continuing to read the series.

Perfect casting (1 more)
Stayed true to the books
Great Adaptation
I have been waiting for this adaptation since I read the books a good few years ago. When it was finally announced, I was buzzing with excitement and for good reason. This film adaptation was pretty well done and felt like my vision of the book came to life. I originally had some doubts about the casting choices made, but those thoughts were immediately put out of my head when I watched the film; the casting choices were perfect and I now can't imagine anyone else playing those roles. Certain scenes did feel a bit rushed and should have been extended as I was left with a feeling of whiplash, but other than that, I was very happy with this YA adaptation.

Some damn fine use of a concrete saw
So let me get this straight...
Contains spoilers, click to show
So. Right odf the hop. I must say I appreciate a French movie that splices in some English from it's actors. Good on ya.
This movie kicks off about 15 or so minutes in.... With some desecration of a severed head... And an immediate beheading....
From there on out its brutality and fine special effects that take over. A beautifully placed twist near the end provides an unexpected, at least to me, WHAT THE FUCK moment.
All in all this is a must watch for all foreign horror fans... Its right up there woth fellow French films Martyrs and Inside.... As well as Korea's I Saw The Devil.

I pushed some major weight tonight, when I got up out of my recliner to go see White Boy Rick. I ain't no snitch, but let me tell you, this movie is dope. One thing that is great about this movie is it's not so much about the drugs and that life, I mean it's a big part of the storyline, but rather it focuses on something even more influential and valuable on the streets; family. Now, this can't be found at your local mom and pop video store, you're gonna have to get your fix at your local cinema house. Like a teenager at a skating rink I gotta roll, and if someone asks who said this was a good movie, you can tell 'em White Boy Russ told ya so.
Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated Jade City (The Green Bone Saga #1) in Books
Mar 27, 2020
Jade City caused SO. MUCH. DISTRESS. In a good way, thankfully. Fonda Lee creates characters that will make you want to be invested in and care about them, but then rip out your heart while you’re crying. The story was a little hard to get into at first only because I spend 98% of my reading with YA, but once I got used to it, I really enjoyed Jade City! I loved being immersed in the world of Kekon and jade with the growing tensions between the No Peak and Mountain clans. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know when and if something will explode between the clans, and I’m on the hunt for Jade War as soon as my library pile dwindles down.
