Wow. Just wow. I was so worried for this being bad after so many reviews saying it was a let down but how wrong they were.

A lot of nods to other characters and story arcs as well as a string link to Star Wars Rebels (the animated series) of which I also loved.

It was good to see how the Millennium Falcon got its iconic shape and how it was won.

Oh and of course the origin of the 12 parsecs run!

Go watch it now!!

Sue (5 KP) rated Eat in Peace to Live in Peace: Your Handbook for Vitality in Books

Aug 13, 2018

I didn’t know what to expect from this book, especially after reading the beginning of the book that used a bit of profanity to get a point across. I am glad I didn’t stop and continued to read. The author shares with the reader her experience with health issues that made her re-evaluate her life; eating habits, stress, mental well-being, exercise, and habits. The approach is quite simple; listen to your body and your intuitions as it will let you know what you need to live a healthy life.

I was provided a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Jump scares

Real nuns were scarier

Being a fan of the Conjuring movies & Annabelle: Creation, I was looking forward to this film. So, it was a let down that the movie was kinda lame. It totally relies on jump scares, which is the cheap way out for horror. Take these out & the movie still wasn't scary. I did like the look of the film & the acting was above average. The story was okay as well. I don't feel like I wasted my time with this, but I would never watch it again.
Sorry for the short review, but there's not much to say about the film.

David McK (3705 KP) rated Hammered (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #3) in Books

Jan 28, 2019

Third entry in Kevin Hearne's 'Iron Druid' series which, I felt, is a strong contender in being the best of them so far.

As the third novel, however, this is one that you would need to read the earlier entries first, as it ties up loose plot points from the first two stories and, in particular, follows on from the previous ('Hexed'), in which Atticus agreed to help the vampire Leif as well as the werewolf Gunnar to kill Thor, the Norse God of Thunder (yes, that Thor).

Fast moving, laugh out loud funny in parts and with some solid action scenes, I was mightily impressed by this entry.

Honestly for me I enjoyed this movie. It was entertaining. Tom Hardy did well with both characters. Setting up the story was fairly explained. The rating for PG-13 hit the movie’s to its peak needed to changed to rated R should of be made. No problem with that rating. The villain was rushed. They witch-hunt the useless symbiote and made great for the 45 minutes and they killed with its caretaker so it can stay alive. The end cliffhanger of to Carnage was perfectly setup fine.

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

I really, really loved this book. I have a thing for kids books that don't treat their audience like they need to be spoon-fed.

The story starts with Lan and their family going to the planet Choom after being in a sleep for decades.
Unfortunately the government has changed and the Hunan's are no longer welcome.
What happens next is an very well written story of xenophobia and the friendships with the aliens.

There's some pretty dark humor which I'm all about. I really enjoyed Lan and Marfs relationship!

The setting

A guilty pleasure

If I’m honest I probably shouldn’t give it top rating, because, it’s a twee, daytime tv, light hearted crime drama that is over cutesy... That being said, I love it almost as much as my favourite Brit drama, Death in Paradise... It is a charming break from all the violent dramas that pepper our screens these days, the main 3 cast members really work well together as a mismatched pair of Investigators and their wannabe thespian assistant Sebastián. A supporting guest cast of actors who have cropped up in many British dramas bring the whole show together a treat...
