Convenience Store Woman
By Sayaka Murata
⭐️⭐️

Meet Keiko.

Keiko is 36 years old. She's never had a boyfriend, and she's been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years.

Keiko's family wishes she'd get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won't get married.

But Keiko knows what makes her happy, and she's not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store...

This was a strange strange little book. I guess it shows one thing that no matter how different we are someone always has a place and who cares if it doesn’t fit into “normal “ society. I don’t even know if i liked it or not!

1980 | Comedy
Considered to be the original and best parody movie out there, the jokes and one liners fly thick and fast and the sheer number of actors and sportsmen of the time is breathtaking.
It's starting to show its 39 years, but there is something there for everyone, just dont call me Shirley.

Hilarious, Quirky, Wild Wide
I remember watching the movie when I was younger and fell in love. When I finally read the book, years later, I was blown away by the hilarity, quirkiness and overall endearing quality of Adams' words. I flew through the book and enjoyed every moment of the wild ride.

Famous car chase (0 more)
A classic action film with a good car chase scene that set the standard for many other action films. It's clear to see how it influenced films made even 30 years later. Apart from the car chase scene though it's quite average overall but with a very good cast.

An exhibit on funeral art over the centuries leads Sweeney to a mystery from 25 years ago. Meanwhile, the museum's housekeeper is killed. A strong final (unfortunately) entry in the series.

A fun book filled with B's. The story grows so absurd you can't help but laugh. My family can still quote this book 20+ years later, and we still love it.

I love horror movies. This is one of my favorites for the sheer brutality, originality and excellent directing. Rob Zombie has always been a great artist in my mind whether it's his music, artwork or movies. This sequel was light-years better than the first movie, imo. Good job, Rob.

Netflix “love it”
My hubby and I use this mostly for our kids when traveling and to get them to settle down. Also I can watch shows (ok binge watch) that I haven’t seen in years.

I've been playing this game nonstop since I bought it 2 years ago. Brought to us by the geniuses at Bethesda, I've never been disappointed by this company!

I've read the Tamakis' work before. They really know how to create real characters in real settings. Just because it's a graphic novel doesn't mean that it's only meant for kids. Oh, this is so not. I only recommend starting in the upper teens (Like 15, 16 years old) to read this book.
