    happypug12's book review was featured in Throne of Glass.
    After hearing about how excellently crafted the book Throne of Glass was from a review on DOGOnews, I was instantly intrigued and I decided to read it. When I first began, I got the feeling that it was going to morph into a rip-off of The Hunger Games, but I was dead wrong. In fact, I ended up enjoying it more than any of the other books in The Hunger Games series. Celeana Sardothien is a slave in the salt mines of Endovier, but she wasn't always. Once, she was an assassin. Not just any old assassin, but Adarlan's Assassin, a ruthless killer, feared by all in the land of Erilea. Her torturous, horrible life as a slave is forever changed when she is invited/forced to go through a series of Tests against other scum to become the King's Champion. But all is not as it seems when competitors are mysteriously found dead, murdered grotesquely. She is ordered to root out and destroy the evil-before it destroys her and her only chance at freedom. Throne of Glass was an absolute page-turner, with superb character development, and well-orchestrated romances and friendships, and best of all, villains that are oh-so-despicable. I loved how Throne of Glass shifted in points of view, forging an even deeper and intriguing plot. You'll sympathize with the cold-blooded assassin, understand the haughty prince, and the pity the stone-faced Captain of the guard. I couldn't tear myself from this masterpiece and cannot wait to continue it in the next books. I recommend to all fantasy and adventure lovers who want a good book to curl up to for hours.

    Wait, why are we crying again? It's 2017. This is in the past. QUIT getting triggered and stop rioting.

    borntoswim's movie review was featured in Hidden Figures.
    One of my favorite movies of 2017 so far! I saw had seen countless advertisements and commercials prior to this movie, and was eager to watch it after seeing the strong female cast - and I'm so glad I did. The story centers around three women living in a time when African-Americans and whites were segregated. They are all very intelligent and work at NASA, as "computers", where they solve complex math problems by hand. It takes place during the time of the space race, when the Apollo missions were being conducted and shows the three women behind the scenes that greatly contributed to the success of the missions but go no recognition. I would highly recommend this movie because it was very influential and inspiring!
