"Michael bought this for me last year and I’d never read a book like it before. Since then I’ve discovered stuff like John Fante, Knut Hamsun… I read a lot more now I’ve discovered this style of writing.”"

"If for no other reason (and there are a lot of other reasons!), Sweet Movie is worth a watch just to see the Viennese Actionist Otto Muehl playing the role of a man-baby being tickled until he . . ."

Finished the last mission yesterday, it was more fiddly than I expected but I have enjoyed playing this game. Its nice to meet a lot of the baddies from the Spiderman world and go to RAFT.

Fun game.

This was the first Miyazaki film I could watch in theaters, and I am so glad for the experience. This, however, will rank low in my Miyazaki ranking. It felt like a lot was missing from this film.

A real marmite film
The real problem with the film is the way it has been marketed. From the trailer I was expecting some sort of creepy horror not miles away from Rosemary's baby. Actually it's quite different and uses a lot of symbolism without making it that obvious for the first half of the film. After a bit of research it does make sense and it's well acted. For many though it will come across as a very strange film that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Gripping, difficult to put down (1 more)
The suspense and tension was really well built
I wish it had been a little bit longer, the ending felt a little rushed (0 more)
I had a lot of fun reading this book. This has been compared to Scream a lot, and I can see why. There are similarities, but not so many that you know whats going to happen. I found it really difficult to put down.

* I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher for review via Netgalley. This has not influenced my review.

Fire and Ice
I really enjoyed this book to be fair there is a lot of similar stories in the ya genre about at the moment that being said I love the dynamic of Ruby and Arcus. As leads they where so dimensional and so believable the fact there may be similar story around take nothing away from this one. It was well written and a great read the just the opposition of fire and ice is also well done

A lot of the book podcasts I've seen are specialized, focusing on a specific genre or series. Annotated is a ranged bookish podcast, with episodes ranging from the stories behind specific books to the publishing industry in general.

They're currently in their second season, and if it's anything like the first, the run is probably going to be short. (Season 1 was only 6 episodes long.)

But they pack a lot of information and a variety of topics into the episodes that they do have.

I've been playing this since it first came out and I really got to say I loved it from the start it's a lot of fun you get to pick your house your character and everything great for Harry Potter films the only thing is after a while it gets really repetitive the storylines are all really cool and a lot of fun in the special events are too but it really does get repetitive which caused me to stop playing now I open the app every once in awhile if I remember to.
