Kaara (5 KP) rated A Plague of Giants in Books
Apr 14, 2018 (Updated Apr 14, 2018)
Phenomenal
This is not my first book by Kevin Hearne, but it isby far my favorite. The world-building is comprehensive and flawless, the characters are relatable and fully actualized. The best part is that he is teaching the art of good story-telling while he tells one hell of a good story. The narrator for the audible book made it even better! I was so engrossed that I literally screamed in frustration when it was over and I realized I was going to have to wait for the next book to know what happens to Abhi and the others.

I received this book from Netgalley and I'm so happy that I did.
This book was so relatable and adorable at the same time. I think everyone will be able to get something from this collection of comics. The artwork is cute and the comic strips are great. We all have those moments in life that our heart and brain do not cooperate. This book shows those moments.
This book will have you bookmarking pages that you know describe you. If you're on the fence, just get it. You're heart and brain will thank you for it!

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Say Ooh La La - Single by Ld Donovan in Music
Jun 21, 2019
Ld Donovan is the solo project from Lo-Fi-Fnk’s very own Leo Drouugee. Not too long ago, he released a lovely electro-pop tune, entitled, “Say Ooh La La”.
‘Say Ooh La La’ showcases an infectious and bittersweet pop ode which celebrates romance.
The likable tune was influenced by everything from Prince, Lana Del Rey, and Swae Lee to Ethiopian music.
The result is a sophisticated harmony which draws on a variety of influences to produce fresh, vulnerable music.
‘Say Ooh La La’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and groovy instrumentation flavored with electro-pop and modern dance elements.

A Superb Debut Album!
An excellent debut album from a very talented musician.
The songwriting on this album, done entirely by herself and her brother, is excellent, creating a dark, yet somehow relatable atmosphere throughout. Once I first heard the beat of "Bad Guy" I knew I wanted more, so I purchased this album and her 2017 EP "Don't Smile at Me".
The production on the album, also done by her brother is good, but the use of vocoding (not autotuning!) is used gratuitously throughout, especially on "Xanny", occasionally masking the singer's soft, excellent voice.

saheffernan (157 KP) rated The Afterlife of Holly Chase in Books
Jan 1, 2020
I don't read Holiday novels especially Christmas I can be somewhat of a Grinch myself during this time. I have to say that Holly chase was the perfect introduction into a Holiday book character that I needed. I loved her snarky comments and commentary during the novel. The play on the classic Christmas Carol made it relatable enough because I knew that story and making the connection between the two during the story was fun to see in what ways it would come together. I think this is a classic book that could hold up to multiple re-reads even.
Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated White Stag (Permafrost, #1) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
This book was thrilling, exhilarating and fun. I was intrigued at once by the setting and situation. The characters were relatable (in their own way) in that we’ve all met people like them; with those qualities, desires and drives. At some point I was a bit confused by the “rules” but overall the author does a great job of explaining the new realm as well as telling an interesting and adventure-filled story. I can’t wait to read the sequel and a prequel or two if they come about. The Permafrost and characters have many more tales in them.
Chris Sawin (602 KP) rated Long Shot (2019) in Movies
Jul 29, 2019
The type of film that succumbs to the typical and expected Seth Rogen formula, but I absolutely fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Funny, charming, and entertaining. Its raunchiness plays into its believabililty factor, which is relatable for any normal or everyday guy who feels like he's involved with the most beautiful, intelligent, and hardest working woman in the world. And, let's face it, if you're not in that kind of relationship then you're doing it wrong. Long Shot is that fantasy come to life and it makes you feel way better than it should.
