Overboard (2018) I love the original. However the remake is not as good. Mainly because no sane woman will leave her three daughters (of various ages, eldest 13) with a man who is not of a good character. I could not get past it.

The Paying Guests
The Paying Guests This is an excellent novel (but then again, I'm a fan) It just was not the right time for me to read it (hence the long time it took me to).

Club Shadowlands
Club Shadowlands This one is decent enough. It is for the readers who may be curious about BDSM which eases into it nicely. It is wholesome and consent is the word here. The intimate scenes however were not exactly to my taste (not because they were not hot, the prose did not appeal to me, that's all).
I recommend.
The Final Girl Support Group
The Final Girl Support Group well I have met the author years ago in Hong Kong and he seemed a very nice guy. I want to go easy but this is just not for me. The reader was very slow and for the first time I have listened to this book at 1.5 speed and it sounded normal.

Junkyard Cats
Junkyard Cat this just was not for me. The world building and the story telling did not engage me at all. This does not mean it is bad, it just was not for me. The reader was very good though.

The Girl In The Spider's Web
The Girl In The Spider's Web the film was meh but Claire Foy's performance was very very good.
Find You First
Find You First It was alright. There were some plot holes but all in all it was smooth and entertaining storytelling. The reader was good. But I don't think I'll try another novel by the same author. I need more heft in this genre I guess.

The Trip
The Trip it was fun and I did not expect it to be. A mixture of several types of jokes and I was entertained.
The Borrowed
The Borrowed This one is a mixed bag. I did not care for the first story but I LOVED the third one. The rest were alright. The reader was good but his choice of voicing some very minor characters with a German accent was a bit puzzling.
Recommended if you love Hong Kong or Hong Kong urban action films.

Normal People
Normal People ok I did not get this one. I mean I liked the actors, the close up shots (these are my catnip) and art direction. But I did not get the characters, why they act the way they do. Erotic scenes between the leads were lovely.
Swimming Pool (2003)
Swimming Pool well it was interesting and a bit erotic but ultimately eh. Charlotte Rampling though, I like her ever since Angelheart and she still got it.
End of Watch
End of Watch I have been wanting to watch this for some time, and I liked it a lot.
Tears: yes

Killing Eve
Killing Eve the first season was so good and the rest were ok too but the first season was the best so far.
Jade War
Jade War great second book in the series. I loved it. And I can't believe I thought about dnfing the first novel.

Blue Light Yokohama
Blue Light Yokohama this one was interesting. It is indeed similar to Harry Hole novels. I liked it but not loved it.
The Third Charm
The Third Charm This one was soo good. I loved it to bits and laughed and then cried buckets. It was a bit religious but that is not a turn off for me if it has the right does and this one did. I loved the ending too. I loved the main lead Seo Kang Joon. He was very good looking and his performance was so good. Same with the female lead. Natural looking and had great chemistry with everyone.
Warm And Cozy
