A short 74 pages but a good story (if you like short novella types), it's a twisted horror that I randomly came across on Amazon and thought it looked good so I popped it in my wish list and received as an anonymous swap which makes me feel a little better... mainly because if I personally had paid over £5 for a book to then have it arrive as less than 100 pages, I wouldn't have been impressed at all. I understand costs need to be covered but had I noticed the page count initially this would not have made it to my list.

Great twists
Great British Drama
One of the best British Dramas I've seen in ages. Only watched it along with the second series earlier this year. Quite short at 5 episodes but it really packs a punch. The tension and drama as the story unravels is excellent.
  
I must say that the title and the synopsis had me intrigued but I practically pulled out my hair as I found this to be a dull read and forced myself to finish reading it. Reading true crime has always captivated me but unfortunately this one just fell short.

See how it all began
A nice spin off series and you could watch this even if you haven't watched The Walking Dead yet, where have you been? A short series but good to see the early stages of the Zombie virus outbreak.

Nice idea
Most pixar films blow you away with the details of the animation, characters, story and voice cast. This just felt a bit short in every aspect compared to some of their recent films. One more for younger kids.

This book was given to me one of my last days of college, my friends told me to read it because I reminded them of a character in it. I finished it in one sitting, and have now read it multiple times. It's humorous and a quick, short read.

Definitely Marvin. It was on point at the time.

Poor Marvin. I think he needs a little help ?

Another Cosmere world, another unusual magic system. I think this was about the right length for an interesting foray into Eastern culture and mysticalising (not a word) ancient artworks and skills.
A really enjoyable short read, though I don't see it contributing more to the Cosmere as a whole.
