Beneath The Bleeding
Beneath The Bleeding This one was a breeze to read. I loved it. And I have not read the previous novels (and there are some references in the story) but it did not make a difference. I highly recommend if you are into the genre.
The Burning God
The Burning God It was a good ending. And I admire the author for the scale of the story. This is one of the instances I could not connect with the novel but I appreciated the writing and the storytelling.
I read the first novel in paperback and did not really got into it but the following novel was more interesting (to me) on audio so I got the final novel on audio too. I will recommend getting it on audio if you have the chance. And you definitely need to read the first two to make sense of this one.

A Rake's Vow
A Rake's Vow It took me some time to get into it but once I was in the wavelength, I enjoyed this one. Nothing that tragic and no trigger warnings. An easy breezy read with a mystery/whodunnit backdrop that served nicely. I understand this is the second book in a series but I did not read the first one and it did not matter at all.

The Aosawa Murders
The Aosawa Murders this one is a literary mystery and it is very well written. I enjoyed it very much and will recommend even if the genre is not your thing.
Note: Despite the fact that it is not something that usually captures my attention, the font in this edition was really pleasant to read and liked it a lot.
Ride Or Die
Ride Or Die This one had an interesting story of two emotionally unbalanced characters who platonically loved each other for a long time and one of them violently kills the other's physically abusive husband. Although two women are - kind of - on the run, this is not really like Thelma and Louise.
Tears: Yes, despite finding it a little out there at times. I'm on my period.
The Silver Skates
The Silver Skates (oddly only Silver Skates on the poster but "the" is added everywhere) This one is a nice little fairy tale like film with a female progressive message. The actors were very good and the main lead unassumingly handsome.
Tears: I think so but I'm on my period.

You Should Have Left
You Should Have Left is good if you are at the beginning of your horror film viewing journey. Otherwise the plot is stale and does not present any surprises. However I love Amanda Seyfried (for no particular reason) and Kevin Bacon (a very good actor) and the little kid is amazing in this. The cinematography was to my liking also, the clean cut, uncluttered art design also appealed to me.

How To Lose A Duke in Ten Days
How To Lose A Duke In Ten Days This came at a right time and mindset for me and I enjoyed it very much. It handles a horrible event delicately.
Tears yes.
I Hate Suzie
I Hate Suzie well I liked it very much. Any series that shows a woman aging naturally is actually gets my goodwill even before I start watching but this one was really good.
Tears yes

Love, Death & Robots Season 2
Love, Death & Robots Season 2 is not as good as season 1. The only segment I truly liked is actually from a scifi story I truly liked (Pop Squad) and it was a decent adaptation.
My Name Is Anton
My Name Is Anton it is a nice novel filled with good intentions and it is quite emotional. However despite liking it, I somehow did not feel the feels (I hope anyone reading knows what I mean) it felt too sterile and should not since there are trigger warnings and some events the main lead has to suffer are indeed horrible.
I really liked the reading performance.

After Life Season 2
After Life Season 2 well it was not as good as Season 1 for me but still it is a very good show and I enjoyed it.
Tears plenty silent pouring ones at each episode I think. But good tears.

Deniz Ne Kadar Güzel
Deniz Ne Kadar Güzel Su gibi akıp gitti ve keyif verdi. Beklenmedik olaylar, ilginç karakterler ve Türk edebiyatında pek görmediğimiz bir konunun tam da eski Türk edebiyatı tadında sunulması çok hoşuma gitti. İçim rahat şekilde tavsiye ederim.
Kafama takılan tek konu birden fazla yerde noktalama işaretlerinin (bana göre) hatalı kullanılması oldu. Bu durumun yazardan değil redakte eden kişi(ler)den kaynaklandığını düşünüyorum.
The Witcher Season 1

The Lady of The Lake
The Lady of The Lake A fine ending to the series. It has accurate observations about the human nature (mostly negative) and for some reason this put me in a really dark mood.
There is some time/dimension travel too if you are into that sort of thing.

The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski it is good every single time. Actually I like it better with each viewing.
The Conception of Horror
The Conception of Horror This one was not for me. Perhaps it would have suited better for someone with less horror novels/stories in his/her belt and definitely younger.

The Tower of The Swallow
The Tower of The Swallow well, the series got darker with each book and this was very grim and very dark. For some reason I can not get into this one but I find that reading them back to back suited me better.
My Dark Vanessa
My Dark Vanessa This is a good novel. I was expecting something different, not as complex and complicated. It all feels organic and real so much so that as a woman, I felt bad overall throughout. The audio performance is excellent but fair warning, this is not one you can enjoy while taking a morning walk.
I highly recommend it but heed the trigger warnings.
The audio has an interview with the author and audiobook reader and then excerpts from a podcast.

Baptism of Fire
Baptism of Fire as with all the books in the series so far, I respected it more than I liked it. Somehow I can not get into it but I don't want to drop the series either. They are well written with good world building.
Fatherhood is not particularly good but I was about to start my period and got emotionally invested (I don't think I would have otherwise)
Tears: lots - at one point I loudly cried (period just approaching)

Morning Glory
Morning Glory is just as to my liking in this third viewing. I love Rachel McAdams and this film just gives me the feels for some reason.
Tears lots (nothing to cry in this one, it is just me)
Oh My Ghost
Oh My Ghost well I liked it but did not love it (one of the reasons is the male lead, nothing wrong with him but for some reason I don't like him)
Tears yeah a lot at the end.

Nine Elms
Nine Elms if I was a dnf kind of person I would have done so but I'm glad I stuck with it. It is by no means good but towards the end I found myself caught up in it for some reason (most probably because I like the genre)

Simply Perfect
Simply Perfect is just what I needed. I enjoyed it fully and had a great time.
Tears: A few times silently flowing.

Dynasty Warriors
Dynasty Warriors is the first film in the book adaptation I guess. It does have a certain Hong Kong feel that appealed and I loved Louis Koo in it but other than those, it did not leave any impact.

The Boys' Club
The Boys' Club is entertaining and engaging. I would not have liked it so much if not for the great narration. Ms. Julia Whelan, my thanks, respect and appreciation to you.

The Time of Contempt
The Time of Contempt I chose this book at the wrong time and in the wrong mood. It is not bad and I'm glad I stuck to it.
Mad For Each Other
Mad For Each Other I liked it a lot. Short and sweet with a good message.
Tears: During one episode.
Elite Short Stories Guzman Caye Rebe
Fear Street Part One: 1994
Fear Street Part One: 1994 it was not bad, just a bit juvenile for me (I'm old - heh). One of the kills was most unexpected and inventive though.

Elite Short Stories - Nadia and Guzman
Elite Short Stories - Nadia and Guzman These short three episodes (about 30 minutes in total) did not do much good since it was silly in a bad way and not hot at all. Guzman is hot though.
Kill Bill Volume 1 and Kill Bill Volume 2
We Hope for Better Things
We Hope for Better Things well it was not bad but kind of religious and the story telling has no impact which it should considering the plot.
