Short AF Book Review | Ready Player One by Ernest Cline


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a Short AF book review on the book "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the blurb of the book in this blog post and sometimes they can contain spoilers but usually they don't. Just something to keep in mind if you're interested in reading this book.)


"Imagine the WORLD AT STAKE.

An EPIC STRUGGLE between good and evil.

The GREATEST QUEST in history.

The FATE OF HUMANITY resting in your hands.

ARE YOU READY?"

Guys, when I say this is one of my favourite books of all time, I am not lying. This is one of my favourite books of all time. I love all of the references in this book, it definitely brings a sense of nostalgia to it. If you are nerdy (heck even if you aren't nerdy and you were just brought up in the 80s/90s) READ. THIS. BOOK. The story is honestly so good and the plot twists are to die for. I could not put this book down the first time I read it (I've read this book 3 times now guys). James loves this book too, so much that he bought his own copy so he could read it whenever he wanted (not that he couldn't read mine whenever he wanted it's just due to me re reading it he hasn't had the chance to re read it until he got his own). Obviously I gave this book a 5 out of 5 star rating on good reads! Please read this book, I'm absolutely certain you'll love it!

What did you think of this book? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Have you watched this series yet? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day.

Short AF Series Review | The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF review on the TV series "The chilling adventures of sabrina". Yeah, I know, I'm a little behind but I binged this series in two days and I NEED to talk about it. As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers, however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)


"As her 16th birthday nears, Sabrina must choose between the witch world of her family and the human world of her friends. Based on the Archie comic"

Okay, so I can imagine like every single 90's kid there is out there, I watched the original Sabrina the teenage witch with Melissa Joan Heart in and unlike a lot of 90's kids out there I was ecstatic to see that this series was getting a super spooky twisted remake. I get a lot of 90's kids aren't happy about this because obviously we all grew up with this show and it was funny and cute and whimsical but I've always wanted Sabrina to be darker. Oh boy, does it deliver. I love the way they've gone with this show and I love the direction that they've currently taken. Me and James binge watched this tv show in two days and I honestly love it so much. My favourite characters in the new one are definitely Ambrose and Aunt Hilda (Zelda is also amazing but I love Hilda more because she's literally the outcast of the family).

Listen guys, I know you're all a bit upset about the remake of Sabrina, but seriously, give it a try. Try and watch it as if it's a different witch who just also happens to be called Sabrina and has a cat called Salem. I love this series so much and I love the dark twist on one of my fave childhood shows. Also, if the rumours are true, I can't wait to see how they're going to mix this into "Riverdale". I give this series a 10/10.

What did you think of this series? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Have you watched this series yet? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day.

Short AF Series Review | You


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF review on the TV series "You". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers, however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)



"A clever bookstore manager relies on his savvy Internet know - how to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him."

Okay so before we get into this review, no IMDB that is not at all what this movie is about. You guys will see exactly what this movie is about once you've watched it. As bad as it sounds, the only reason I watched this movie is because I saw that Shay Mitchell was in it (and I loved her in pretty little liars, so I thought I would love her in this too). I binged this whole series in less than a day, I just could not stop watching. The tv series is gripping, it just keeps pulling you in for more. I love "Beck" as a character and find her somewhat relatable. The ending of the series had me right on the edge of my seat and whilst I'm not very happy with what happened... I understood why it did and that cliffhanger definitely left me wanting more. I love the way they portray Joe and how his character develops (Don't get me wrong, I know he's not a good character, I just like the way they portray him to be somewhat "good"

I cannot give this tv series enough praise, it's been a little while since I've seen a crime tv show entice me this much (other than "how to get away with murder" but we'll talk about that another day.) Please give this movie a try and let me know what you think of it. I give this series an 8/10 (only because of the ending).

What did you think of this series? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Have you watched this series yet? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day.

Short AF Movie Review | Bird Box


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bird Box". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety"

So this movie has been advertised everywhere since it was announced that it was going to be put onto netflix, so as you can imagine the hype for this was real. It has some amazing actors in, was a "psychological horror" and just had so much hype around. So I decided to watch it almost the moment it came out on netflix. Boy, this movie was so good. It's not very often that I enjoy horrors because I hate jump scares and I'm not good with scary stuff unless it's books. There wasn't many jump scares in this movie, but, if you're not good with suicide please do not watch this movie because there is quite a bit of it in this movie and it's done in a lot of different ways. If you love psychological horrors/thrillers I would definitely recommend this movie to you. The ending of this movie has had a lot of different reactions but personally I loved it. The only thing to me that was kind of disappointing is that we never got to see what the creatures looked like, however that also made it kind of more scary. (Also the fact that Sandra Bullock couldn't stop laughing when they were supposed to see the creatures probably means it was a good thing that it wasn't shown). Please, if you get the chance too, watch it! You won't be disappointed! I give this movie a 10/10!

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | Nappily Ever After


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Nappily Ever After". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Violet Jones tired of waiting for her longtime boyfriend to propose, breaks up with him. But old feelings, and heaps of jealousy, no doubt, arise when he promptly begins dating another woman."

This movie has had so much hype behind it so I thought I'd give it a watch. It was actually worth every bit of hype that it was given. There's a lot of things about this movie that I'm not going to talk about because I personally can't. Honestly though, this is the most uplifting, positive, self loving movie I've watched in a long time. It was also amazing to watch a new bunch of actors that I've never seen in anything else before (other than Ricky Whittle who I've seen in both Hollyoaks as Calvin when I was younger and now American gods as Shadow. I also honestly hated him in this movie which I'm not happy about because he's the sweetest little cinnamon bun in both Hollyoaks and American gods but it was great to see that sort of acting from himself.). I loved watching Violet's journey of self love and how she turned into a strong, independent woman through the movie. I think young girls everywhere should watch this movie. 10/10 for me definitely.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | Bridget Jones's Baby


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bridget Jones's Baby". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


I don't care who you are if you're over the age of 20 you probably grew up watching the first two movies, and even if you hated the first two movies you went to see this one so you could see what was going to happen! I actually loved the first two movies and when I saw this was coming out I knew that I had to watch it! The first thing I want to say is holy crap they all look so different. (I get that it's been a couple of years since the last movie came out and yes I've seen them in other movies but it was still weird). I loved that they played up the initial falling in the mud troupe (Sort of a spoiler but trust me it's not a huge thing). I loved that Bridget was still writing her diary. I was so happy to see the familiar faces and also to meet some new ones. It was definitely a perfect ending for Bridget Jones. I would recommend this to anyone who watched these movies growing up. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Short AF Movie Review | Bad Moms


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bad Moms". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie.)


"When three overworked and under - appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun and comedic self - indulgence."

So the main reason I wanted to watch this movie is because there are so many actors in this movie that I love (especially Mila Kunis), and it looked like such a funny comedy to get into. Let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. I loved that the main theme of the story was that they shouldn't put each other down and should join in their womanhood in being "bad moms". Personally, I cannot touch on the mother experience as I don't have kids, and I also don't want kids. This movie was amazing though, it was really feel good and super funny! I love the character development in this movie especially with Amy and Kiki. I love that they were all strong, independent women OR became strong independent women. I'd give this movie a 9 out of 10, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good comedy movie.
