Ross (3284 KP) rated Metallica (The Black Album) by Metallica in Music
May 29, 2020
Rolling Stone's 255th greatest album of all time
Simply a superb album. The likes of The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters can be enjoyed by anyone. The rest of the album is generally a lot heavier and may take different tastes. Wherever I May Roam, Sad But True and Enter Sandman are simply fantastic metal songs.

ClareR (5911 KP) rated My Mother’s Secret in Books
May 13, 2018 (Updated May 13, 2018)
Lizzie Bradshaw witnessed a terrible crime and had to pay the ultimate price. Emma Taylor has a terrible secret that she seems to have hidden even from herself. Stella Taylor, Emma’s teenaged daughter, knows that something is going on with her mum.
This is such a good story with lots of twists and turns. It’s quite sad, really. Even when you think everything is going to be all right, well, it’s not.
I didn’t see the end coming at all!!
Kay writes teenagers really well: how confused they are, and ultimately, vulnerable. Speaking of vulnerability, Emma is a sad character who clearly has a lot of issues.
A very entertaining story.
Thanks to The Pigeonhole for their serialisations of this book, and the publisher Corvus for making it available!

So I started this yesterday and probably spent a good six, more or less, straight hours reading it and finished it a little after midnight last night.
I loved that everything worked itself out; feelings, rebels, friendships. I was just sad to see so many characters end up dead :( Some I was sad about and some not to much.
And as much as I love that Maxon and America got together in the end and that they had some lovely scenes together, like the one on the roof
still managed to drive me a little mad with her words and actions in regard to him.
Nevertheless I really liked the story and it was a nice ending to the series. I look forward to reading more books by the author :)

I love films like this next one. Girls Trip looked like so much fun every time I saw I clip that it was definitely going to be on the list. So here's the Red Band trailer for you...
The Flossy Posse haven't seen each other for five years, somewhere along the way, life happened. But that's about to change. Ryan Pierce is the keynote speaker at this year's Essence Music Festival, and she's getting the gang back together for a long overdue reunion.
While Ryan has great things to look forward to in her career, everything isn't all smooth sailing, and the same goes for the others, although no one wants to admit it. Can they find their old spark again and set themselves on the right path before the partying ends?..
This film made me sad... oh, it wasn't a sad movie, it made me sad that I've never had a group of girls to dance off with. These four lovely ladies really worked well off each other. And hey, if you fancy setting the internet trolls off... I think they would make an excellent front line for the next Ghostbusters movie. Just saying.
Seriously though, this film was really funny. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, and you'll do it along to some fantastic music.

Great Read
I have enjoyed this world and characters since the first Farseer trilogy. This was a great read. It felt like saying goodbye to old friends. The story was interesting and I cared about the characters a lot. Robin Hobb created a beautiful world with complex and fascinating characters and while the story was sad, it was a wonderful book.

I loved loved loved this book! Wow!
I listened to the audiobook continuously from start to finish with barely any breaks! Each chapter examines a different patient and/or situation Stephen Grosz has seen as a practicing psychoanalyst. Some stories are relatable, some are insightful, and some are sad. I can't wait to recommend this book to everyone I know!

Honest, funny, sad, thought provoking. (4 more)
The author in unapologetically herself.
Actual emails from the authors father (especially the author bio) was a breath of fresh air.
Relatable stories as a fellow minority attempting to assimilate as a child.
Although a comedy for most of the book, the author knew when and was able to be serious.
Hilarious relatable memoir
