Auburn (57 KP) rated Ruthless Magic (Conspiracy of Magic, #1) in Books

Apr 10, 2019

The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter in this glorious book about what someone would do to save themselves and others. Multiple POV make it a unique story delving deeper into each person's personal story as well as together.
I thoroughly enjoyed the magic and they way it had to be sung. The fact that society knows about magic and those who are legacies have a shoe in to keep their magic was realistic. I just want to see this world come alive on a big screen!

I enjoyed the book. There were elements of Douglas Adams in the book, but where the book fell short was trying to only stay slightly with one foot in the silliness and one foot in serious satire. I don't feel like the two could be reconciled as one. It was entertaining, but it really just wanted to build tension which I wasn't feeling at all. This of course may just be a personal taste, but It was only a 3 out of 5 star read for me.

Compares to Breaking bad

Beautifully sinister and dark as night.

Hard to watch political drama that is as smart as it is dark. My wife loves it, but I got depressed after watching it. There is no denying the quality of the show and the smart dialog. It's just not for me personally. Hence the 8, if it was my personal taste it would be a 10 no question. This is on par with Breaking Bad for me, both in darkness and intelligence.

Fantasy Sports for non sports people

This is a fun app to use, and a great premise, I've been playing for awhile and although I'm not particularily good, it does keep me informed about whats new in movies and how they are doing at the box office. worth a try if you've never played.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Lessons From Lucy: The Simple Joys of an Old, Happy Dog in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I've been a fan of Dave Barry for most of my life and have turned to his works in times of trouble. When I saw this book on Netgalley I was thrilled. This book is fantastic.
Dave Barry has a great way of writing to you not at you. It's oddly personal considering the whole syndicated column thing.
The last part about Sophie's illness is a real tear-jerker.

The comedic value (0 more)

If you are a Buffy fan, you will love this.

Recently rewatched this after being a huge fan when it was first on TV. I still loved it. I like the case by case episodes and the way the personal relationships are built. There is a comedic value in Angel that you just don't get in Buffy, it makes it feel a little more grown up. I am still a fan of Buffy, however, I think they got the formula better with Angel.

Wow. Pixar once again delivers a tear-jerker that is a fun, exciting family film. Ever since I saw the trailer, I knew that I wanted to watch this film. It just looked too good to pass up. And I was not wrong. Pixar delivered so hard with this movie. Props to Scanlon for incorporating a personal piece of his own life in this film. Also, Chris Pratt and Tom Holland both killed it in their roles in this film. I absolutely will watch this again!
