Great
I might be the first but, i truly loved this movie. They told his story true even though they left out alot about the rivalry between him and Biggie but, you can only fit so much into a movie like this for people to sit through.

Honestly I loved reading this book. I believe every teenage or young adult females should read it, especially those going though a difficult time in life. It's very insightful on Lily Collins life and eye opening on extreme real life issues that many people experience.

A New Type of Disaster Movie
It all seems normal, until people start killing themselves - some in truly gruesome ways. Nobody knows how or why, simply that it's airborne and it's spreading fast. An interesting and original take on a disaster movie, I liked it.

I feel like my rating on this is skewed. I played with a very "rules heavy" friend and it ruined the experience for me. I would like to give this game another chance because I think I could like it if I was playing with a different group of people.

Indigo is better than Tsuro. I like that one too.

I'll add those to my list for sure! We have a game store that has a wall of games you can try out and I'm sure they have at least one of those to play!

A lot more in depth than the original made for tv version.

Some people might consider it slow in parts if they don’t like character development.
A great Stephen King adaptation!

I cannot stop recommending this book to people. It’s Fangirl, but so much better. More character depth and actual risk if secrets get revealed. The world that Eliza creates belongs to her and is such an important part of her life, but she can’t really tell anyone irl about it.

This book is a good, quick read about the Magna Carta and the circumstances surrounding it. It also discusses the sort of myth surrounding it, and the fact that the majority of time, it hasn't really contributed much, other than being a contract between a country's leader(s) and the people.
