Alison Bechdel recommended The Price of Salt in Books (curated)

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Bridges (Bridges, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
It was short and sweet.
An enemies to lovers sort of thing that started when they were just kids at school and ending when they were waiting to go to college. They both changed a lot in those intervening years and realised the other wasn't so bad and that they actually did like each other which slowly progressed into a relationship.
It was cute :)

It's been a long time since I read but Joss and Braden have always stuck with me. I remember a lot of their story so getting the chance to read some more of them was a definite "gimme".
I did enjoy this. They aren't the perfect couple, though they've always loved each other fiercely, and seeing their struggles only made them more human and likeable.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Raising Innocence (Rylee Adamson, #3) in Books

I like this series.
Rylee kicks arse!
Alex has really started growing on me again.
O'Shea... *sigh* I would have liked to see more of him but I understand that he's going through a lot mentally and Milly isn't bloody helping!
Looking forward to the next book to see what Rylee is going to do to get O'Shea back in her life after him going AWOL.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Vampire Shift (Kiera Hudson Series One, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2021
It had an interesting concept but I didn't really feel it. Unlike a lot of the authors other work I wasn't quickly drawn into the story and the characters didn't do anything for me.
Out of roughly 6/7 books this is only my second 3 star rating for one of Tim's books.
I'm not sure yet if I'll continue the series or not.

I do like my Marvel films and this was no exception. I did watch them out of order--which is not advised as things follow on in a lot of them--but I got the gist of things.
Wakanda is very advanced and seems like a great place to grow up and live. I loved his sister, the technical wizz.
It was an interesting watch.

That ending.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Clicked spoilers as I don't want to ruin for anyone that wishes to start watching it.
I actually hated the ending of this so much - watched the whole series for it to end up being essentially obsolete. I like the series a lot but the ending ruined it for me.

Best since Saving Private Ryan
Simply the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan. Visual masterpiece and technical masterclass. It grips you in minute one and doesn't let go for two hours. A moving and memorable acheivement in every scene. Owes a lot to Kubrick, but that is no bad thing. See it!
