I can potentially carry a library of books with me (1 more)
Easy to use
I wouldn't be without this
As an avid reader, I never like to be without a book. With the Kindle and Kindle app, I never have to worry.
Now don't get me wrong, I also love the sensation of holding an actual book, and smelling the pages (yes, I am a book sniffer), but sometimes it is easier to read from my phone.
As I don't drive, public transport is my friend, and sometimes trying to read a book when in the middle or the rush hour commute, with your face squashed into a stranger's armpit, and an elbow digging into your back, reading on my phone is so much easier!!

Having read three other David Mitchell books I had an idea in my head of what this one would be like. I think if I hadn't had those preconceptions I would have enjoyed it more because this one wasn't anything like the others.
The plot follows a year in the life of 13/14 year old Jason Taylor growing up in a small country town in the 80s. This digs deep into all of the trials and tribulations of growing up if you're not popular but instead a rather awkward stuttered.
I liked the nostalgia but I just felt that the story was a little too steady, I kept expecting some revelation that we might be building towards so ultimately I just felt a little underwhelmed.

This film is one of those movies that motivates you to do whatever you want, in your wildest dreams. Hilary Swank plays Erin Gruwell who is a fighter, a dreamer, relentless, a lover, a great teacher.
This story is incredible. I want to read the book. I want to meet these kids, I want to meet Erin Gruwell, that's how good this film is. It will tug at your heartstrings, it will leave you in awe, it will make you cry (or at least tear up). I loved everything about this film and I want to watch it a million times over. I cannot recommend this film enough. I would scream it from the tallest rooftop if I could, but alas, we're in quarantine so Smashbomb will have to do.

I have to say I am completely surprised by how good this book was. It was interesting but easy to follow & easy to read. I am not much on religion & I was engaged throughout the entire book. O'Reilly is a great writer & quite obviously did a great deal of research in putting this together. I am looking forward to reading his other novels.

Soooo cringey!
I mean the show is hilarious and I like it be how light hearted it is. Rebecca is basically a stalker, but by telling it from her point of view it's so comical. I love that it's so musical, I probably wouldn't watch it otherwise. It makes me cringe a lot, but I can't not watch.

Maybe it's just been a while since I've played a handheld gaming console, but this game is incredibly hard to control. I crash the wagon all of the time. I do wish it was just more like the original, or at least the more modern computer version.
I haven't beaten it yet, I always die of dysentery before I get there.

As a lover of everything vampires, I loved this show. I thought that it had a nice pace and great character development. I fell in love with Damon the second he came on my screen. As the season went on, I fell more in love with the characters. I would recommend this show to anyone who loves vampires, drama and teen shows.

Hearing about this classic coming out story I had to give it a go. I was expecting to like it more than I did. While I liked the main character, she was fierce and strong headed, she came across as quite anti-hetero and definitely anti motherhood; I must admit that made me a bit uncomfortable.
3 Stars from me.
