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

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?

I wish I could have loved this film more. I am a massive Harry Potter fan. I love the creatures and magic in this film but I felt there was no real story except for creature escapes, causes some havoc, creature is recaptured, repeat with different creature. And it really annoyed me how Newt Scamander doesn't look anyone in the eye, just looks out from under his fringe...really triggered me! Hehe
Cori June (3033 KP) rated Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1) in Books
Dec 22, 2018
A fun quick read. Sarcastic and a bit witty not afraid to make fun of itself. Set in Chicago and while it is "present day" i.e. 2000s up electronics and magic don't always get along, Harry at times lives like he's in the 1950s and older.
I found it refreshing that a character could have old fashion values but still for the most part, let a person do the things they need to.

The story we all heard in the womb
This is one of those books that you know the beginning, middle and end without even reading the book. I'm pretty sure I have never watched any of the film versions either but I already knew the storyline. It's a classic but because I already knew the plot, it removed some of the magic for me. However, this is a huge compliment to Dickens.

A novel with so much depth.
This is an intelligent book which is well crafted and written with such beautiful language. I loved the intensity between the cousins and the complicated relationship between the dead and the alive. The author knows how to bring characters to life and she does it so well. I can't wait to read her next novel. Buy this one. Seriously, it's magic.
