ClareR (5874 KP) rated Trail of Lightening in Books
Apr 30, 2022
Maggie Hoskie is a Native American in an apocalyptic world where monsters are real, and only magical strength can kill them. Most of the world is underwater, but one of the safe places is the Navajo Reservation, otherwise known as Dinétah. And magic has returned. Not just magic though, but also the gods and heroes.
It would seem that Maggie is something of a reluctant hero, and doesn’t take any nonsense form anyone. She likes to be alone, seeking out company when she wants it - not the other way round. I liked her, and I’ll be interested to see how her character develops further in subsequent books.
I liked the world-building, the peripheral characters, but to be honest, I would have loved a bit more background, both in how the world flooded and the gods. But then again, it was a good way of hooking me, because I WILL be reading the next in the series!

Lizzie Jeffreys (2 KP) rated Red Hood and the Outlaws: Volume 5 in Books
Nov 19, 2017
With gorgeous artwork, emotional writing, action packed fighting scenes and unnerving plot twists, the fifth volume of this fantastic comic series will leave readers on the edge of their seats and gasping for more.
Unfortunately one of the more underrated of DC's series, Red Hood and the Outlaws is perfect for those who appreciate dark humour, magic, and love in all its forms; as well as gratuitous well-earned and specacular butt whoopings.

Amber Tucker (13 KP) rated Maudlin's Mayhem (Bewitching Bedlam, #2) in Books
Jan 9, 2018
Maudlin's Mayhem is the second book in the Bewitching Bedlam series. Maddy and her vampire boyfriend run a B&B in a town full of supernatural beings. Problems one after another continue stacking up, and Maddy must stop this quickly before someone she cares about gets hurt. Magic, Mystery, Mayhem, Romance, Laughter, and more Twists and Turns. I love this new world and characters that Yasmine has created. I can't wait for the next book!!!
Ross (3284 KP) rated Elantris: Tenth Anniversary Author's Definitive Edition in Books
Sep 4, 2017
Elantris is probably the best place to start for those of us new to the Cosmere. The story develops at a good pace from a position of a lot of unknowns, but the reveals come at a good pace and are explained without being rammed home.
This is fairly typical Sanderson storytelling/world-building but for me the magic system was not quite as well developed/tangible as those in other worlds of the Cosmere.

This is my Favorite Bill Murray Movie
I know he's done a lot of great comedies, but for whatever reason this one continues to make me laugh every single time. It's smart in a way it shouldn't be, his reactions are over the top, but there is nuance to them as well. There's a scene where he's talking to a dead guy and it's pure magic. This is a desperately underrated classic.
Lilyn G - Sci-Fi & Scary (91 KP) rated Predator (1987) in Movies

Very good for an 80s action movie
This is one of those movies you love because of how bad it is. Well, that and the sheer amount of fun you have watching a thick-accented commando going up against horrifically ugly aliens.
I remember nothing about this movie other than enjoying the heck out of it and simultaneously having the desire to never watch it again.
Honestly, it's pure cheesy magic, isn't it?
