Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2540 KP) rated Well Read, Then Dead (A Read 'Em and Eat Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Sassy and Bridgy have settle into their new life running a café/bookstore in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. But when one of their loyal customers is murdered, they are surprised. Delia was a nice, quiet woman. Who would want to kill her?
The characters and the setting in this book are wonderfully vivid, and I enjoyed spending time with them. Unfortunately, the pacing was off and at times I got frustrated waiting to get back to the mystery. However, it did all come together for a logical ending.

Good Horror Premise
A fun idea for a new slasher premise, at least 3 sequels were made. The SFX do look a bit dated now and the gore effects, along with a lot of elements to the film do look a little low budget. With Wes Craven as exec producer and starring Robert Englund and cameos by Tony Todd and Kane Hodder adds a few nice touches for the horror fans. Andrew Divoff plays the evil Djinn very well and with a dark sense of humour. It is a bit cheesy but has a certain charm to it, one for gore fans and horror buffs will enjoy it more than most.

A good place to talk about books
Pretty much all that I have stated above in the good. If you are looking to connect with people who share your love of reading and are looking to communicate ideas and different opinions where people will respect you and give you a chance to share it without criticism then litsy should be the place for you.

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.

Range of quests (3 more)
Graphics
Beautiful map design
Good for both pro's and noobs
Loved it
Open map worlds are my favourite types of games and this has definitely been added to my list of top 10 recommended games! The story has an amazing level of intricacy to the story which creates very good immersion when playing however is also a game you can put down for a week or two and come back and pick up very quickly and easily without trying to work out what happened last! Controls are good nice level of customisation for the character and how you want to play the game.

Nice design (5 more)
Good fit
Robust
Helps to create good habits
Tracks other things such as sleep as well as steps
Links to the Fitbit community
Great for keeping track of your fitness
I’ve had a Fitbit in one form or another for a few years and must say the Blaze is a definite favourite. Just like earlier Fitbits it tracks your excersise and steps however this version also keeps log of weight (if synced to Aria scales), sleep and women’s health. It creates great habits as the Fitbit challenges give you something to focus on and work towards.
Ella (0 KP) rated milk and honey in Books
Jul 1, 2018 (Updated Jul 1, 2018)
An excellent book to read if you are in your 20’s or want to go back to that inner wisdom you felt when you were figuring out life. Beautifully written with engaging images. You can read this book in a couple hours but will most likely find yourself rereading passages for year to come.
This book is full of poems of ideas that you have most likely thought or heard throughout your life. It’s nothing profound but it’s nice to be able to flip through and have these tumbleresque moments in one place.
A great book to put in the bathroom or on a coffee table with other magazines.

Aasiyah Sidat (34 KP) rated Alys, Always in Books
Jul 5, 2018
This story is based entirely in London and the surrounding areas, which is a nice change for me since most of the novels I read are based in the States. I guess in some small way it makes it relatable.
Alys, always is a mystery novel about a literary editor, Francis who witnesses the death and final words of Alys Kyte. Francis then finds herself involved with Alys's family as they try to get some form of closure from her death. Let's just say Francis makes the most of a difficult situation.

Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated The Comedian (2017) in Movies
Sep 15, 2018
Except for a few tiny laughs and a few nice moments between Robert De Niro and Leslie Mann's characters, this movie is unwatchable and unfunny. The humor (if you can call it that) is scatological and the character is far beneath the talents of Mr. De Niro. The jokes are crude and vulgar and I was embarrassed for him to tell them. This is the worst movie I have seen in a very long time and if I had control of the remote or was able to rouse my roommate who fell asleep with it under him, I'd have changed the channel within seconds. This film is an abomination.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse in Books
Nov 14, 2018
___ 3 Stars
I liked this book because it was different to anything else I have read about Zombies. It comes from a completely different perspective; to be precise a medical journal.
Even though I knew this was a journal I still expected some more brutal Zombie action...as Zombies are brutal. There was little action in this but the artwork was nice and detailed.
To be completely honest, it became way too scientific for me which meant the majority of the explanations went over my head and it became boring fairly quickly.
If you're into Zombies strictly from a very medical/scientific point of view then definitely read this.
