Meh...
First off, some of the stories in this book were good. A lot of them were confusing. Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know how to describe how they were confusing. It’s just that sometimes I didn’t know what was going on. Like I said, maybe that was just me. This book did hold my attention for the most part though.

I would still recommend this book to others as they may enjoy it.

Far from Perfect
One thing is for sure, I loved the topics of the story but I also think the author was trying to master too many things in one book. I loved that it talked about teen pregnancy, adoptions, and sexuality for young adults. Each of the characters had a lot of difficulties but they showed what its like to be a real family.

I couldn’t really get into this book, but I’ll readily admit that memoirs and biographies are not my usual reading fare. I had listened to another autobiographical audiobook just before this one and thought I’d enjoy this one just as much, but no luck.

Ther wer parts of this book that were funny (expected) and parts that were insightful (pleasantly surprising), but a lot that was just meh.

It would be good reading for anyone interested in the improve scene.
  
I was so happy to read Martin Shorts story. But his story was definitely not as happy as I assumed it was. Why are comedians always so troubled??

Not that this makes it a depressing read, it's extremely interesting, very funny at times, and I learned a lot about Martin and Hollywood as well!

So glad to still have great comedic minds like Mr. Short alive and well and making us laugh. A very interesting bio well worth the read.

Really? Another one?
So.... I loved the first film in this series "The Ultimate Gift". But this film is just bad. It tried to take the first one and copycat it without any of the drama, charisma or fun. This movie was boring. The main character was too nice and anything that he said to be mean felt out of character. The movie felt like a lazy cash grab.

At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like the new reboot of Josie and the Pussycats. I love Archie comics, but some of the new stuff hasn't been the best.
Luckily, they had the writing talents of Marguerite Bennett ,who is one of my favorite comic book writers.
I loved that Melody is still a little ditzy, but very intelligent. She became my favorite character throughout. Overall, the volume was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I read it.

Should be required reading
I have never read such a gripping, fascinating and heartwarming story that also taught me as much as this book did. Whilst I have always supported the Black Lives Matter movement, I have never understood it in the way that I do after reading this book. I have so much love for all of the characters. It had me crying in public for a lot of it! I recommend this book to anyone who’ll listen to me!

Ok, so I saw a recommendation online for a movie on Netflix called "Teeth". I looked it up and watched it. It's a dark-comedy/horror film. This one was weird. Do NOT watch it with kids as it has a lot of sexual content and some pretty gross scenes. It was made well enough. The acting was a bit, meh, but not too bad. The story had some, well, sick twists... anyway, worth a watch if you're into horror films.

When I heard of this book, I screamed: fairytale retellings, fandom culture, and cute romances, all in one??? Sign me the FUCK up. This book was incredible, and so, so, so sweet. It's a cute slowburn, a bit of anger, a lot of humor. A lovely, well-written story that I truly really love. The characters are sweet and relatable, and you tend to understand some of their struggles. I loved this book so, so much, and honestly? You guys should too.

Watched a really good action thriller on Amazon called "Braven" starring Jason Mamoa. Remind me a lot of some of the old action movies from the 80s and 90s. Good acting, great cinematography, well played out (and fairly believable) storyline. He plays a logger who has to fight off drug dealers who've stashed a bunch of drugs in his hunting cabin in the woods. Really well made. I highly recommend this movie if you're into action stories. REALLY worth a watch!
