Don't be a bully!
Manga is not my first choice of something I would pick up if I was browsing Waterstones. I did read Naruto when I was at school but I have never had a physical copy. It is only recently that I have been getting into anime because my other half watches a lot and I end up watching it with him; Fairy Tale, Dragonball Z and Full Metal Alchemist just to name a few.
So I decided to pick up something out of my comfort zone and give some proper manga a try.

game play changes each game
cooperative till the haunt
lengthy (2 more)
lots of pieces
long set of instructions
Great game
this is a great game. We love playing it. Unfortunately it is the kind of game you need to assign a dedicated night to, as when the haunt is triggered the is a lot of time needed for figuring out what you are doing and strategics. Unfortunately, only really playable with 6 players. The expansion adds to the game, as it stops you being stuck in the basement. With the expansion, both official and unofficial, there are almost 200 haunts which can happen

Malcolm’s Sass
Loads of fun but not a must-read
Jurassic Park was pleasantly well written, and I really enjoyed learning all these little details not in the movies, such as Clarence. The chaos theory stuff was great but that feels stale and mundane after too many years featuring Trump.
Malcom was fun and sometimes Hammond was too but honestly the other characters are pretty forgettable.
Read it if you love dinosaurs like I do, it’s fun, but if you aren’t dinosaur obsessed you’ll be bored. I liked it a lot but it doesn’t make my “omg everyone needs to read this” level of recommendation. :P

The attraction between Pim and Elder continues to grow and spiral.
In this book we learn a lot more about Elder which is just fantastic, however that comes with a price and that is the ending to this book. There was nothing wrong with it apart from it was not what I wanted to happen.
It is interesting to see Pim and Elder continue to fight with themselves as they try to decide what they want, how far they will go to get it, and ultimately what they are willing to sacrifice.
I am still loving this series and have already started book 4.

Fun interactive game
Kid friendly
I've had this app on and off ever since it came out. It hasn't gotten much better in the sense of the different things you can do, friends and trading, and speed and crashing. I remember 2 years ago it crashed nearly every time I opened the app and it does much better now. I think it only crash on me recently because I needed to update.
It's also a great game to play on road trips. You can see where you picked up each pokemon and it's a lot of fun sending gifts from a variety of pokestops and gyms.

Jul 31, 2018 (Updated Jul 31, 2018)
Watched this horror/comedy "crazed killer" movie on Netflix(not exclusive). The cinematography was fine. The acting was over the top (purposefully, I believe). The story was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in a movie. It starts out simple enough, but just gets weirder and weirder as it goes on. The characters aren't exactly "deep". I wouldn't recommend this for kids(because of some gross scenes-your call) but if you're into dark comedy horrors, you'll enjoy this one. I managed to finish it(with a lot of eye rolling and a few chuckles). The end had me smh(goofy). It's worth a watch if you're bored.

Not as good as the book
The book is quite a slow burner, but it works because of the level of depth and detail given to Elio as the main character. The film sadly doesn’t have the same impact and it actually comes across quite dull. Whilst some of the performances and scenes are in keeping with the book, the whole film just seems very slow and verging on boring. And the edgy scenes from the book (the peach one for instance) are a lot more shocking to see on film. It isn’t a terrible film, it’s just completely immemorable and I don’t think deserving of all of the accolades.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I like this show a lot, but I wish that I hadn't binged it. It's highly thought provoking and if I had taken my time I feel like I might have gotten more out of the experience. Also, I haven't finished all of it yet but season 2 was lacking for me. I liked learning about the different parks, but I think that the hosts (it's been awhile so I can't remember if that's what they're called) being self-aware is kind of overdone in this genre. It just seemed like unnecessary carnage and made me lose interest, at least on the Dolores side of events.
I bought this phone only two months after it was released. And I was so excited about it.
Now, three years later, I'm still happy with my choice.
Yes she has slowed down some, seeing as I overwork her a lot but regardless her performance is still very satisfactory. The camera quality is still impressive. The battery life, while not the best on the market, has only slightly decreased over the three years.
Overall I have really loved this phone, and I will probably get the newest OnePlus when it's time for an upgrade. But this one still has plenty of life to give.

Funny but doesn’t rely on it (1 more)
Captivating
Loved the humour!
I’ve heard a lot of people say it relies on humour too much or takes too long to show venom but I actually think that for the first Venom movie of at least 3 that it worked really well.
The humour made the story flow with ease rather than it dragging, and I couldn’t stop laughing at the random outbursts Venom has about food.
I unfortunately haven’t read all of the comics but I can’t wait to see where the story goes, the mixture of dark humour and action makes for a really compelling series of films.
