"Sometimes I get jealous when I’m reading a great book by a younger writer. But White Tiger is so good I almost forgot to hate Aravind Adiga."

Donuts and Disaster - other than making me feel extremely peckish throughout I surprised myself by enjoying this short book. I was having a spout of 'I want to read, but nothing is holding onto my interest' when I found this on my #tbr shelf. It's number 4 of a series of Sandy Bay Cozy Mysterys. Meghan runs a bakery and finds herself (yet again apparently) tangled up with a murder. The story was quick paced and a lot happened in a short space of time. If I were to offer a criticism I would say that the murder should happen sooner for such a short book. The murder did not happen until half way through, which means there was only a little time in the short book for it to be solved. But as a quick and easy read after a long day at work - definitely a winner. I like that you can read it as a standalone and not need to know what happened in the previous books. The discovery of a killer disappointed me a little as very little investigative work went into it - I was expecting more Jessica Fletcher than accidental confession/discovery.

I think like everyone else who hadn't read the books The Red Wedding just blew your mind and it was the first time I remember every being completely shocked by what I saw unfolding on a tv show before. ... and I Loved It!

I love Pandora for mindless listening. If I know what kind of mood I am in then I can pick a station and go for it. If you want a specific song then this is NOT the app for you, but for everyday listening its perfect.

I was a bit disappointed by this novel, having thoroughly enjoyed Haigh's <i>Mrs. Kimble</i>. I just couldn't empathize with the characters and things seemed to drag on. Redeemed itself a bit at the end, but still, not as good or as captivating as I'd hoped.

"“They’re directed by Godfrey Reggio, with a soundtrack by Phillip Glass, and they’re just three-hour-long never-ending loops of psychedelic imagery. I remember I was pranging out after a gig once and I couldn’t sleep, so I watched six hours of it back to back."

"Honestly, I could choose anything by Orwell. I read him as a teen and loved him. That advice of his about good prose being like a window pane? I always have that in the back of my mind. It jibes with how I instinctively feel about writing. "

I enjoyed reading this book, but I was disappointed in the ending. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd have been happy either way. Alessandra did her best to make a HEA, and I recognized that for what it was, but I still felt a little let down.

Boring
Maybe it's my age but I find Instagram really boring. I hardly ever use it, infact the only time I do is when I get a notification.
My teenage daughter loves it and uses it all day.
It's just a total waste of your time.

I would recommend this album to everyone.
