Anne (15117 KP) rated Stolen Enchantress (Forbidden Forest, #1) in Books
Nov 4, 2019
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author via Voracious Readers Only. It was a retelling - from the blurb it mentions the story being a cross between Beauty and the Beast and The Pied Piper. It definitely was a cross between those two stories too.
It took me a little longer to read because I had a hard time getting into the book at first. It seemed like it was a bit slow for the first part, then it got interesting and picked up quite a bit. But then when I was very engrossed into the story, the end came rather suddenly and I felt like it was a bit abrupt and needed more closure.
It was also a bit more difficult for me getting through some of this book because it was quite dark and heavy in parts. It was a good book overall, but a bit more on the dark, heavy side of things that leaves you searching out for the spark of hope, which there is some, but not as much as Id like.
I was very interested in parts of the book and the different aspects and unique perspectives, but I wish there had been a bit more to the story with a little more hope. I was a bit like huh? when the book ended cause its taken me a bit to process it.
I would read another book by this author especially if it was a continuation of this story.

Couldn't put it down. I read this in a day. The only real complaint I have is that the world building was not very good! It had a good plot and characters. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

It took me nearly a year to finish the audiobook. Kamau is long-winded, pensive and thoughtful. What he is not, is always funny or engaging. Glad I finished it because I feel the world does need his point of view. I remain a semi fan.

Robot Rocky
A decent film I liked more than I thought I would. Great production including Stan Winston's former studio doing life size bots, Steven Speilberg as Executive producer, cool cast and neat SFX. Kinda Rocky for Robots but has a nice feel good vibe to it.

Amber (2 KP) rated Twelve Rooms with a View in Books

Overall this was a good book. I liked the plot and most of the characters. I felt like the book just ended and it could have had a few more chapters. It went from crazy to end. I really wanted to know what happened with the apartment.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Sentinels of the Multiverse in Tabletop Games
Mar 14, 2018
I really enjoy this game. I like that each game is different and that it is a cooperative game. My friends and I have talked about home-brewing a version of the game where you shuffle two heroes together "SmashUp style" and fight against each other.

My favourite podcast
MFM is hilarious, I love listening to it as much as I can. I am a massive fan of true crime and this podcast has it all. It doesn't take itself too seriously but covers sensitive subjects with respect (and a few giggles)

Meg Dean (138 KP) rated Camille Glenn's Old-Fashioned Christmas Cookbook in Books
Jun 20, 2018
Maybe it's just because I couldn't get out of the south fast enough, but this book is way to focued on the southern cuisine for my taste. I wish it had branched out a bit. She is however a southerner so I guess it's to be expected.
