Dracoria Malfoy (690 KP) rated On My Block Season 1 in TV

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD
ok so um the fuck kinda ending is that. why do you think it's okay if i cry. this show was so good with a diverse cast, funny moments, a shitton of drama, and amazing moments. How did they come up with all of this? who knows, it's amazing nonetheless. I love this show a lot. Something that made me uncomfortable was that the oldest of these students was 15, and that's really young for some of the racy scenes. Adults may argue about the cursing, but no, that's normal. very normal. otherwise, everything in this show was nice, perfect, beautiful, the like.

I’m not too sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t what this movie turned out to be. It had so much potential with a name like Ritual, and the setting being rich and endless. It’s also based off an H.P. Lovecraft character and therefore had the tools to really blow it out of the park. Instead, it was circles in the woods, a lot of predictable conversation and then ten minutes of super interesting monster time! I just really feel they could have done so much more with the tools they were using. Wanted a creep fest, got a snooze fest.

I'm changing this from a 3 to 4 star review - from reading it mid last year to reading it again now - I enjoyed this so much more now than then. Though it still had some points I did not enjoy - it just entertained me better this time - the strikethroughs were a bit more confusing to follow through when listening through audio so that was a bit more to concentrate on - but I liked the audio a lot so perhaps that's why it gets another star - I still love Kenji the most out of the whole book - I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Oh man Albertalli - I love your books - Simon is one of my fav books - which I am bout to read again for the second time - this one was awesome and a fast read. I adored the last 150 or so pages and especially the last 100 - the diversity in the book was on point and it was ... adorable.. yes, so adorable. There was a lot of aspects LGBT, anxiety , etc. touched on in here and pressures of drinking/relationships and it was just well written I loved every second - a definite must read and I'm so glad I got this in a book box and it was signed!!!

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.

Mo (66 KP) rated Betrayal at House on the Hill in Tabletop Games

Many hours of fun (2 more)
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

Clarence
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.

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.
