28 out of 100. That includes a few movies I've only seen part of, but I need to pad my numbers somehow. 😀

Three faves:

🎬 I'm not sure how anyone could classify The Karate Kid as a thriller, but I watched it so many times as a kid that I have it memorized beginning to end.
🎬 The Hustler
🎬 The Postman Always Rings Twice

My #TitlesAndTunes pick for August's #TheWorldIsMyOyster

I had a total block finding a song until my daughter was standing next to me when I took the picture of the book. She read the title in the beat of the song and there it was. Honestly, I adore Daft Punk (a #GuiltyPleasure?), should have thought of it at once.

This is great as far as the writing. It takes you directly into the twisted mind of Patrick Bateman, where sane thoughts can turn disturbing within a sentence, normal and even humorous interactions with others can turn shockingly horrific within a paragraph. This is a good book but it‘s hard to get through. It has graphic violence, gore, and some animal cruelty. I give lower ratings for animal cruelty.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one DEFINITELY fits the bill for #TitlesAndTunes #SexDrugsAndRockNRoll Cherie shares growing up in the 70‘s being heavily influenced by David Bowie, her addiction to drugs, her abandonment of rules & approval and remarkable recovery.
Despite the appearance of leading a glamorous existence , Cherie Curie‘s life was messy, chaotic and troubled. Plenty of trauma & harrowing stories 🙌🏻🖤TW: violent rape 👇🏼

Way late with this review, but I really enjoyed this fast-paced sci-fi thriller. It seems ready-made for a blockbuster film treatment and has some interesting narrative inversions. My least favorite part was the particular phenomenon: it reminded me of trying to explain the neurological reasons why Harry Potter spells work. But it also doesn't over-explain, which helps it deliver on the action and suspense.

A fun, lighthearted cozy mystery, featuring a snarky, spunky heroine. I easily figured out who was going to be murdered, and who the murderer was (which is unusual for me!) This was a perfect pick for the June #TitlesAndTunes prompt, #GuiltyPleasure . There was nothing “literary” about it, but it was a great read for a lazy summer afternoon.

This was my #TitlesAndTunes #GuiltyPleasure and it absolutely was a pleasure. Not as hockey heavy as the first in the series, but a lovely slow burn #romantsy. Great stuff!

This is the 7th book in the Cat Star Chronicles. Prior to this book, I read 4 of the books in the series over 10 years ago and I highly enjoyed them. I don't know if it's my age or the book, but I was not into this one as much. There was a lot of sex...yes, I know this is smut but I found myself more interested in the plot behind the main character's stone than reading another sex scene. However, I give this 3 ⭐️.

I can't think of a more delicious creepazoid than Dr. Bickleigh, the memorable villain in this "whydunnit" Golden Age crime classic. From the beginning the reader is privy to his nefarious plans, but what's truly baffling is how he gets to pull as many women as he does. I guess life in a small village can truly mess with a girl! A great read; scathing gallows humour & some truly repugnant people. #GoldenAgeCrimeClub #TitlesAndTunes #GuiltyPleasure

Naturally a book about Jane and Prudence. Jane is a 40 something vicar‘s wife who doesn‘t behave as your stereotypical vicar‘s wife and tend to say the wrong thing. Prudence is in her late 20s and enjoying her love affairs. Two friends with not much in common.

I just love Pym‘s snarkiness and wit and her writing that‘s just to the point.
