Karley Sciortino recommended The Year of Magical Thinking in Books (curated)

"I guess it’s a bit obvious to have a Joan Didion book on my list, but she is my most loved writer of all time. This book is a memoir about the year the followed her husband’s sudden death, and is one of the greatest books about grief and loss ever written. I re-read it last year, after going through a breakup, and it really helped me. I recommend it to anyone who's dealing with the loss of someone or something."

Album Favorite

"The Blueprint deserves its own shit. I still remember where I was at and where I bought the album from. I remember driving around in my mom’s car, because she had a little mini-system in her car. I remember playing this album to death, front to back. I only skipped one song, which was ‘Jigga That Nigga,’ but even that I used to play. So even the song I skipped I still know the lyrics to. It’s just a classic, hands down."

Which version do I review? The original? Directors cut? Aunt June's revised 5th edition? How bout just the basics? Decker is a Blade Runner. He hunts down replicants. Is he one too? Who knows. Wanna learn how to make origami? Sure why not. Darryl Hannah is super sexy. One of the best death monologues in a movie ever! Not her... Rutgers. And how neo-noir can you get?!? Cyberpunk baby!!! It's a slow burn though, so be prepared for a long ride.

DNF @ PAGE 70 OF 380.

I've been reading this for nearly two weeks and I'm not getting anywhere with it. Its not pulling me in at all, and doing quite the opposite; boring me to death. It was so slow going.

I'm not sure why I bought it because I dont read many books that aren't romances and I tend to prefer female POV's of which this was neither, at least up to where I got to.

Not my thing at all.

This series is turning pretty amazing. I love how close these six are. They're doing everything they can to make him happier, to stop him from taking his own life, and I think it's actually working.

Volume 5 could be the death of me--making me an emotional, snotty mess--or it could make me so happy I can't stop grinning when I think about it. I'm so hoping for the latter.

Off to start it! See you on the other side!

An irban legend - reinvented.

Remember the urban legend?

The wedding day game they turned deadly, I guess it is "till death do us part". After the vows are complete, and she promises to be his for ever more, the bride finds herself caught in a deadly game of hide and seek with her newlywed husband's edgy family.

Honestly, this film, for me was a great watch. It was intense, and I have to admit, some scenes had my anxiety spike through the roof.
