TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated The Bake Shop (Amish Marketplace #1) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
This book started out very slow for me, I know it is introducing a new series but I didn’t expect it. However, once the first part is over, we get some good characters, who have an enemies to friends relationship (As much as one can in an Amish lifestyle). They work through a lot of hang ups and overcome obstacles from the community, family and themselves. I think this was a good start to a new series and I am excited to see what will come next from this author.
I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars for the scene created, the interesting characters, and the overall theme of faith.

Mothergamer (1536 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Doraemon Story Of Seasons in Video Games
Mar 7, 2021
A very charming crossover with Doraemon and Story of Seasons. You can play as Nobita from Doraemon and the farming mechanics will feel familiar because they are very much what is used in the Story Of Seasons games. The artwork is pretty looking like watercolor paintings and there's a lot of different things to do in the game ranging from farming to fishing to bug catching. You can celebrate festivals in each season and make friends with the villagers. It can feel a little slow in places, but the story and characters make you forget all that.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) in Movies
Mar 9, 2021
It's a shame that this movie gets generally overlooked due to the absence of Michael Myers. As its own thing, Halloween III is a suitably ridiculous piece of horror/sci-fi/mystery cheese that deserb s more love dammit!
It has the always reliable Tom Atkins in the lead role, Dan O'Herlihy as this movies James Bond level villain, some pretty fun gory moments, a sub plot that has something to do with Stonehenge, a wonderful music score from John Carpenter and Alan Howarth (ignoring that truly grating Silver Shamrock jingle), and a mostly solid mystery narrative. There's a lot to love here that unfortunately get buried under nothing more than its title.
