ashezbookz (32 KP) rated I Hate Myselfie: A Collection of Essays by Shane Dawson in Books
Jul 5, 2018
This book was sad, and hilarious both at the same time - much like Shane's videos. It didn't much help that I read this book in my head using his voice...............
The only fault in this book was that I wish there were better year stamps on the chapters, a timeline in which the chapters were placed or some type of order - it bounced around a lot and I was like, what, we're back to that time......confusing at times - but no less great - I mean sad and depressing.

Good introduction to the world of Josephine Tey
I enjoyed this novel about the fictional life of a real person, Josephine Tey. This is the first novel in the series by Nicola Upson and I had previously read the fourth book as a standalone and I think that may have clouded my view a little on this book as I already knew what happened to the characters later on. I think if I was reading this novel first it would have been a lot more gripping. As it was, it was still an enjoyable mystery.

Good story about fate
A decent little romantic film, although labeled a Rom-com most of the time it feels more of a drama with a lot of light hearted moments than truly laugh out loud scenes. It did remind me of Serendipity quite a bit, would have to admit that is by far the better film. One of the best of the genre in my opinion.
Still this has a good cast and it was an enjoyable to watch, without being the typical hollywood Rom-com most of the time. Definitely worth checking out.

It's so well thought out (4 more)
Challenging
Engaging
Easy to pick up
Well made
Excellent team coop game
This game is a firm favourite when we do board-game days.
You play either heros or zombies. There are various different missions and games are usually close, going down to the wire and adding to the thrill of it. Worth every penny and I shall be getting the expansions for it.
Did I mention it's well thought out? It's so good - you can tell someone has put a lot of effort into getting the balance just so.

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I wish I had my own copy so I could read this again before the movie comes out but I checked it out of the library from my freshman year. I didn't expect to love it so much. This was the book that had gotten me into reading again. I used to read a lot when I was little but then I stopped but now I'm back at it again because of this book and I couldn't be more thankful for that!

I really do love what Hayao Miyazaki creates. It's like any movie he puts out is gold. This movie is really wonderful. The characters are spectacular, and the animation is simply magical. I loved this movie a lot & I love the slightly creepy (Forest Spirit by far the creepiest) characters you meet as well.
FYI: If you're a parent looking for a new movie, please know that this anime is filled with violence & there is a reason that it is rated PG 13. It definitely relied heavily on the gore as well.

Not for the faint hearted but it is incredible how much suspense can be wrapped up in these few pages. It’s drawn to really captivate you and make you care about every person in one way or another. The battles they ensue and the cleverness in the plot makes this such an amazing read that I hope it is a long standing series as it deserves it!
I wouldn’t start this series until a lot more are realised as I’m addicted and they are not released quick enough!

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Predator (2018) in Movies

Honestly, I barely remember any of the Predator movies, so I had little to no expectations going into the film. It was alright. The film had a great start, but then it devolved into silliness. And, prepare people, they set it up for a sequel, of course.
One thing that bothered me was Olivia Munn's character. She was a biologist, but somehow, she was holding the guns like she held them before. Was she supposed to be ex-military? Does she play a lot of Halo? I was completely confused.

I enjoyed this book. The story is fresh, new and exciting. I like the idea of the unit they are working for - but really the thought of it scares me slightly!
Very well written and a real page turner - couldn't wait to finish it. Only criticism would be there was a lot of focus put on the fact the lead character was returning to work after having a baby - I felt this was mentioned too much / too often and really didn't need to be enforced quite so often.
Five Star recommendation!

Cumberland (1142 KP) rated Venom (2018) in Movies

Fun Movie
This was a really good movie. Venom had some funny lines, and overall was surprisingly likeable. I'm curious as to how they will portray Venom later on since he was a villan in the comics, but in the movie he is depicted as an anti hero. This was a great introduction to a character I think we will see a lot of in the future. Venom is not part of the overall MCU so movies like this make great place holders while waiting on Avengers films.
