Imogen SB (4507 KP) rated Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster in Podcasts
Sep 23, 2019
I love James Acaster as both a comedian and a musician and I swear, this is probably the most absurd yet funny podcast ever, if you're a fan of odd-ball dry English humour then this is definitely for you.

Demi Gods in Disney
I love Disney as a whole Little Mermaid and Beauty and beast are my favorites. I also love mythology so soon as I heard demi god I was this is going to be a much watch film. However whilst I think the plot to this Disney film was possibly one of the best and the side kick where adorable. For me the music let it down normally I leave with song stuck in my head for days the first time I watched this I came out not remembering a single song. :'(
The grandmother in this film was great I loved the line "I'm the village crazy person "

I really enjoy Steve Harvey as a comedian, but this book just didn't do it for me. Maybe the book would have been helpful when I was still dating but now that I am in a relationship the advise seemed obvious. Even if I was still dating I think most of his advise is common knowledge on how to conduct yourself as a lady but I guess some people need help in that area. The first chapter was the most helpful for me. After that I just read to finish the book. I really wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know,but it could be helpful to some single women out there.

I love Goodreads since it allows me to track my goals, see who is reading what and what I read. I also enjoy being able to see if I liked a book or not. Nothing like deciding to reread a book only to remember that you hated it. I fully enjoy how easy this app is and how useful it can be when making a list of must reads. Knowing what I want to read, what I feel I need to read and what I have already read, has helped me keep on track with my annual goal of reading 100 books

Woof, I made it. I wasn't sure that I would, as this novel started out normally and devolved into a stream-of-consciousness mess. I was seriously motivated to keep going, though, because I read the rest of the series and this is the last book in it.
So I pushed on through, got to a bit of light in the tunnel, and then there was more muck. Really, Mr. Battis - this is a popular work! Or did you just feel like, "Hey, this is the end of my contract, I can do whatever I want..." That's the feeling I got, honestly. It doesn't motivate me to pick up whatever Battis publishes in the future.

I really, really, really loved this novel. It is filled with geeky nostalgia. I couldn't help but let my inner geek squee when a movie, band, tv show etc. that I loved appeared.
The characters were really interesting and I quickly became invested in their success. I couldn't help but smile, tear up, or laugh when something happened in this novel.
All in all, this is a novel for geeks, and mostly 80's geeks. Unfortunately the only thing 80's about me is my birth year (89). Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. This is definitely a book that I will have to reread. I feel like there was so much that I missed.

I found it difficult to choose between 3 stars or 4 stars so I thought I'd be generous. I did enjoy this book but parts of it were a bit frustrating, mainly the lack of intelligence of some of the characters. I believe the story could have been a lot shorter as it was quite drawn out, I did lose interest at one point but as I got back into the story I didn't lose interest a second time. I decided to give this book 4 stars mostly because of the ending. In my opinion the ending was the best part of the book which was packed with action. I highly recommend this book.
Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Damaged: The Heartbreaking True Story of a Forgotten Child in Books

I wanted to leave it a while after reading before I reviewed this book. I had just finished reading Cathy Glass' latest offering, and appreciated (as enjoy for any of her books is perhaps not the right word.) it enough to want to read another. I decided I'd go to the very beginning and read this.
I think I hadn't prepared myself for how harrowing this one is though. It made me hate both being a man and an adult. Ultimately however I am glad I read this book. It has made me more resolute to make this world a better place for the next generations, and realised they are more precious and delicate than I ever believed.

Un-put-downable! Yes, yes, I did go there. How could I not? This book is just that! Very hard to put down! I loved Ms. Barratt's captivating writing style and her historically rich plot line. I was up long into the night reading this novel and didn't want it to end. I could feel myself following the characters' journeys, seeing Niagra Falls come to life before me.
Getting to know Adele and Drew was refreshing. I loved their characters each equally. Drew's character really reminded me of a tender hearted guy that I could fall hard for. The love he had for his sister was evident and really made for a swoonworthy man. Adele, bless her, I loved how I could "hear" her English accent when she spoke to Drew. I loved that, since my mom's best friend is from England and I love to listen to her talk. Seeing Adele and Drew together.....well, I rooted for them until the end!
The journey that Adele takes isn't an easy one. It's a long, bumpy ride for sure. But, Ms. Barratt throws in the perfect amount of twists, and a whole lot of love and understanding from God and creates a wonderful, soul stealing story.
This is definitely a book I would recommend to all with a 4 star, two thumbs up, hats off praise! Ms. Barratt did a phenomenal job with her addition to the MY HEART BELONGS series, and I can't wait to add more of her books to my shelves. She's truly talented and definitely knows what to give readers who are looking for a "up all night, page turning, heart capturing" novel. Bravo, Ms. Barratt, bravo!
