May 5th to May 11th, 2019 Weekly Wrap Up

What I Read

Titles in this section link to my (generally fuller) reviews on Goodreads.

Slade House by David Mitchell 4⭐

Telepathic twins obsessed with immortality. Haunted house. Paranormal weird happenings. Had a fun time.

Beach Party by R.L. Stine 2.25⭐

Pretty standard Stine YA Thriller. Karen and her friend Ann-Marie are staying at her dad's beach house by themselves. Drama. Murder attempts. Actual Murder. A twist that left a bad taste in my mouth that I can't say because spoilers. Sadly this one didn't work for me.

The Horny Little Mermaid by P.E. Kavanagh 3.25⭐

A short funny sexy little twist on the little mermaid. I didn't take it seriously, I don't think it's ment to be. Ria is the mermaid and she is very horny.

Into the Gray by Margaret Killjoy 4⭐

Trans girl thief (Laria) lures bad men to her man-eating mermaid girlfriend (The Lady). Talks about obsession and respecting yourself. Short but heartfelt. Fell in love with Laria.

Currently Actively Working On

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

TV I Watched

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 9 Episode 7 "She's all Yak". Made me cry, like they usually do.

Movies I Watched

Saw (5⭐). The first one. I've never watched any of the Saw movies until now. I had heard they were torture porn with no point and I beg to differ. I found it to be intelligent, story-driven and thought-provoking. Thought-provoking in how patients are treated, how we are people. For a start. Absolutely loved the ending. Can horror be intelligent? Yes, yes it can.

Games

I have a Switch now so I just started (barely) Let's Go Eevee!
