Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Sweet Tea and Secrets (A Tea and Read Mystery #2) in Books

Dec 31, 2019

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

Callie has switched her job as a tour guide for a so we're paced life. She meets a strange man and basically uncovers a 30 year old mystery right in time for a 4th of July celebration!

I liked Callie. She seemed a bit on the naive side but overall a good character.

I was able to solve half the mystery *polishes imaginary apple* and the rest played out in a way that absolutely made sense.

This was a strange one. The acting was decent and the cinematography was good. The effects of the creatures was pretty cool, too. The story was just weird. Couple of guys on an island in 1940 running a lighthouse and fighting off what seem to be "mer-people". It was definitely unique. Plenty of action but not super fast paced or anything. The ending was ok but left a lot of unanswered questions. Overall this one is interesting enough to keep your attention. Not too scary for kids or anything, either. Worth a watch.

A short story-ette of 1700 words relating the strange encounters of Agent 33 when trying to check in at an airport.

Feeling like something of a fever dream, this stream-of-conciousness story is told well with a fast pace and new ideas fizzing off the page.

However, it just didn't gel for me. Perhaps I need to read more of the author's work to give it context, or perhaps I just didn't 'get' it, but the sum of its parts didn't quite make a satisfying whole.

African supernatural love thriller

This is the first film I have seen from Senegal. It follows a girl who is in love but forced to marry into money, but love diesnt let go not even in death.

It is a slow burning artistic film and the paranormal aspect is almost a side project rather than the focus of the films which makes it even more interesting. This is a strange wonderful film and deserved of its cannes award

Try hard

Hmmm....

This was not the book for me unfortunately. I found the main character Flavia very unbelievable. She was wise beyond her years and seemed to flirt with older men at the age of 12. I felt like this tried to mirror some of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing but just really missed the mark (for me). The plot was quite obvious aswell. Surprised that it has some considerable accolades.

(Sorry, I hate leaving bad reviews)

Ducklady (1174 KP) rated Don't Fk with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer** in TV

Feb 20, 2020

Very interesting watch. I bunged it on when I was bored and ended up binge watching all three episodes.
As human beings, we are monstrously intrigued by the monstrous and this documentary shows that.
It starts with a horrific video of animal abuse on 2 adorable kittens and escalated into psycho killer territory. Addictive and disturbing to watch and the whole time it makes me wonder about internet habits.
The ending takeaway from the "internet nerds" was super forced and strange XD no I am absolutely not complicit thank you very much hah
