You S:

You S:3  yes, it was kind of over the top and insane and I don't like the lead actor but I had a ball with this. 

Queen & Slim

Queen & Slim is the type of film that I like. A road film where the characters forced to flee from the law (but they are good people, only the circumstances affected their actions) I love the actors here (I have a fondness of Daniel Kaluuya). The chemistry of the two leads were insane and they felt so natural.


Tears: Unexpected tears in the end. 

Hacks

Hacks  it was good. I liked the feminist pov and the older female lead, the actors were all very good. I like Las Vegas too. 


Tears : Only in the last episode. 



Cold Iron

 

Cold Iron  well I wanted to dnf but stuck to it and liked it after a quarter of the novel. It was entertaining. I don't think I'll get the rest of the series though.

A Classic Horror Story

A Classic Horror Story  a bit meh. 

A Song For The Dark Times

 

A Song For The Dark Times   I liked it a lot. Rebus does not disappoint. 

Kingdom: Ashin of The North

Kingdom: Ashin of The North    I was strangely reluctant to watch this (zombies are just not my thing) and now that I did, I could have done without I suppose. There is revenge though but the main one is only at the end. 


Tears: Nope

Once Again

Once Again   I really like these Korean family dramas. And this was a very good one. I liked all the actors and had a ball.


Tears: oh yes.

Kindred


Kindred
    Smashing read. It is really so good that I was captivated from beginning to end (and time travel is not my favorite trope) Good literature and story telling. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes reading. 


The audiobook is very good with an excellent performance. 

Scandal of The Year


Scandal of The Year   it is ok. There is only one intimate scene so a good one to dip your toes in romance if you are not into those.

A Bride For The Taking

 



A Bride For The Taking   If you are like me and enjoyed Mills and Boon books when you are in your early teens and wanted a bit of nostalgia and ruled by the 'three in one' deal (I got these from a second hand shop) then this is not your thing. None of these novels aged well.




Distracted By Her Virtue - one star
The Lost Wife - one star
The Brooding Stranger - one star


The Huntress


The Huntress  Good story telling and good reading performance. Recommended to people who like historical fiction

The Sandman I

 

The Sandman This is a project executed perfectly. The actors are all wonderful without a single weak link. It was not really for me but I highly recommend everyone to give it a try.

Empire of The Vampire


 Empire of The Vampire I don't usually like to give one star reviews but this novel was a big disappointment. I'm an old woman and I love to read. As I plodded on this novel I have been reminded of a few novels I have read and some films I have watched and it seems that the novel did not have an original voice at all. Sometimes things does not have to be original for me to enjoy them but this one annoyed me right from the beginning. Everything in it reminded me of something else. I usually listen to novels as I walk and during this one I found myself thinking what to eat, making shopping lists etc. 


The only positive aspect of the whole reading experience was the performance of the reader.


Skip this one or if you are curious wait for a bargain buy.

The Silent Patient

 

The Silent Patient   well it did not work for me at all. I would not call it a bad book per se, it just did not do it for me. 

Anatomy

Anatomy   well this was a nice surprise. I liked the plot, the tension and the ending (although the very last part was scary) There were some mediocre parts but I like it when the actors look like real people and apart from looking real, these were good actors too. 

No One Gets Out Alive

 

Photo from wikipedia 


No One Gets Out Alive   it did not really work for me but some parts were very realistic and horrible (not the supernatural horror parts, those were basic but adequate) 

Hospital Playlist S:2


 Photo from wikipedia 

Hospital Playlist S:2 is not as good as the first season but still very good. 


Tears   oh bucket loads
