Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated Wayward (Wayward Pines, #2) in Books
Mar 15, 2018
I wasn't sure how the author would be able to top the sense of suspense that came along with the weird mystery at the center of the first novel, but somehow he has done it. Even knowing the secret of what the town is, there is still plenty to discover about the things going on behind the scenes, and just how creepy they can get. The characters are still very engaging and the twists are still both plentiful and plausible, while the suspense keeps things moving along at a brisk pace. If you liked the 1st of the series, be sure to check this one out as well.

Maybe this book works for people who are interested in the Victorian era and are easily pleased by drab events happening to drab people on a drab landscape. For me, this book was beyond ridiculous!
Heath was the only character I liked, the one I wasn't supposed to like. He was the only character who had any redeeming features and who I actually had some feelings for. Cathy is just an over-the-top fruit loop with a stick up... well, where the sun don't shine. Yeah she didn't have the best upbringing or the best family but she didn't need to become so self righteous.
Dull, dull and dull.

Elvis tunes
This is by far my favorite Disney movie. It seems to be one of the last of their old style of animation, which is absolutely wonderful. The originality of the concept is top notch, and because of the way it was introduced the rest of the series doesn't feel like a lame Pokemon knockoff the way that many other super powered monster type series do.
Probably my favorite part though was that this movie is what really got me into Elvis when I was about 7 or 8 (it's gotten to the point where I actually went to Graceland about 8 years ago).

When it drops it goes to the top of the playlist
I am a completest with this podcast. I have listened through all of the available episodes twice. Even the original shows, though they had not nailed down the format yet, were excellent.
There is something about the connection between Walt, Bry and BQ that is unmistakably good and makes for great podcasting. Also, I don't know who I enjoy hearing going off on a rant more. Add to the connection the games, the contests and the side-hustle and you have a show that makes me laugh every time.

One of my favorite shows!
I love cooking competition shows and one of my favorites is Food Network Star. Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis guide contestants interested in their own show on Food Network through a series of grueling cooking challenges designed to test their cooking chops, food knowledge and on-screen personality.
The challenges separate the good from the not so good until the top 3 get to make actual pilot shows for the network. The winning contestant then receives their own show, becomes a member of the Food Network family and frequently appears as a judge on other shows.

Beautiful map design
Good for both pro's and noobs
Loved it
Open map worlds are my favourite types of games and this has definitely been added to my list of top 10 recommended games! The story has an amazing level of intricacy to the story which creates very good immersion when playing however is also a game you can put down for a week or two and come back and pick up very quickly and easily without trying to work out what happened last! Controls are good nice level of customisation for the character and how you want to play the game.
Alice (12 KP) rated Godblind (The Godblind Trilogy #1) in Books
Jul 3, 2018
Well well well I'm mightily impressed Mrs Stephens. Mightily impressed. Easily up there on top as one of the best debuts I've read this year. Easily.
Great characters and plot work. A even balance between omg how cute (<i>that</i> chapter and holy shit how EVIL!
Evil being the overruling theme of this book with a great set of bad guys and an even greater set of good guys - let the Dancer's Light be upon you s'all I'm sayin'
Godblind had it's own flair for the dramatic and the quick switching between points of view gave the book it's own edge.
Can I have book 2 now?

Watched this horror/comedy "crazed killer" movie on Netflix(not exclusive). The cinematography was fine. The acting was over the top (purposefully, I believe). The story was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in a movie. It starts out simple enough, but just gets weirder and weirder as it goes on. The characters aren't exactly "deep". I wouldn't recommend this for kids(because of some gross scenes-your call) but if you're into dark comedy horrors, you'll enjoy this one. I managed to finish it(with a lot of eye rolling and a few chuckles). The end had me smh(goofy). It's worth a watch if you're bored.

There isn't a book Pepper has written than I haven't fallen into completely from the moment I read the first page. Her writing draws you in, makes you feel as though you know every thought and feeling and can experience it as close as possible without physically dragging you in. You head and your heart will be never quite be the same though... This story was heartbreaking, watching Pim's struggle and abuse, on top of the connection between Pim and Elder.... all while he struggles to do what is right while he himself is a monster at heart. FABULOUS dark book, can't recommend Pepper's writing enough.. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended dark read!!
