Good Me, Bad Me

Book Rating

I found this novel to be very disturbing – but isn’t that the point of psychological thrillers?

The author has told a very interesting, yet chilling, tale which I found difficult to read at times but was so hooked that I had to keep reading – and read it in a day.

I did struggle with the author’s style of writing at the beginning. It seemed more young adult fiction than psychological but once I got over the tone I did enjoy the book, although did find it predictable.

Thanks to Ali Land, Penguin UK and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this new and exciting novel for 2017.

A year later still going

I've had this game for a couple of years. Love designing my garden and the different challenges you can join. The levels are sometimes really difficult and others super easy.
I will fade in and out of playing it a lot of the time, but will always return to it.

The flower challenge can be annoying as you have to use your unlimited time when you get it and I end up wasting half of it due to life getting in the way. Damn being an adult.

Sees the life of Peter Pan from a different view. (0 more)

Unusual take on a classic story

This story follows the ups and downs of Peter Pan before the conventional stories with Wendy that we all know from Disney. Christina Henry has a knack of showing the darker side of what is a classic story. Even though it focuses on the life of children I feel like it still has a very adult feel.
I first found this amazing author when reading her book 'Alice' and have since read all of her books.
If you want to read a fantasy novel that is unusual then this is the book for you.

David McK (3663 KP) rated Blood Rites (The Dresden Files, #6) in Books

Jan 28, 2019

Book number 6 in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, and the quality shows no signs of letting up.

This time, Harry Dresden is hired by his vampire acquantaince Thomas Raith to investigate a series of highly unusual murders surrounding an adult movie maker, which leads to further revelations (previously hinted at in earlier books) about Harry's own mysterious past, and just why Thomas has been an occassional ally ...

While I reckon it is probably possible to read this as a 'stand-alone' novel, it's probably best to have read the previous five books first in order to understand a few of the references made during the course of this one.

Songs are catchy (0 more)

Would have been better if aimed at adult audience (0 more)

Not too bad

I remember reading horrible histories when i was in school, i have never watched the tv series though so wasn't sure what to expect. At first i thought it was incredibly cheesy, it was like watching a pantomime. But like being at a pantomime i eventually got into the storyline and found the songs catchy, there was a few famous faces including kim cattrall and warwick davies.
It wasn't too bad a film but i feel it could have been so much better aimed at adults rather than family.
