App doesn't work with smile.amazon for charity
Almost TOO easy!
Amazon has made shopping from your couch almost TOO simple! I have created "wish lists" for things I want to buy my son for Christmas. Amazon is wonderful about marking price drops and I have gotten some wonderful deals this way. I love that I have access to a wide range of products from around the world and customer reviews for those products. With my Prime membership I have the option for free 2 day shipping, but more frequently I choose the "no rush" shipping option. This takes a little longer but I receive credits for digital items such as Kindle books, music, and movie rentals.
This app doesn't work with the smile.amazon charity donations. This is the one drawback of the app, and it IS a big one for me.
  
Hunters - Season 1
Hunters - Season 1
2020 | Action
I added the Season 1 item, in hopes that Amazon will announce a Season 2 here pretty soon.
I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but it is inspired by true events, so obviously artistic liberties were taken with some things. I guess if you didn't already know the US government brought Nazis over then you'd find it surprising. The season spans 10 eps, and it was around 2 eps too long, it definitely threw off the pace. The twists were pretty easy to figure out, but I did not like that enough of the twists weren't fully resolved.
The cast is pretty great too, and they all worked well together. I enjoyed the thoroughly-deranged, cuckoo for cocoa puffs character of Travis. His character was both horrifying and completely entertaining.
Seriously, Amazon, announce a 2nd season! I want to know what happens after the events of season 1.

I was lucky enough to get this as a free e-book download from Amazon - not sure how I managed that but I'm not one for complaining ;)

Despite some harrowing descriptions of the Nazi atrocities, I thought this a well written book with excellent characters and it kept me interested to the end. An exiting and page-turning read and I will be interested to see how the film turns out - if it is made.

A look at the trials Joni and Ken have faced in their marriage. And it's good for anyone interested in this amazing couple. But if you open up your heart, God just might use it to challenge and convict you. He sure did for me.

I received an advanced review copy via Amazon Vine.

Many free (with subscription) titles
Amazon has lots of exclusive titles. Not only can you watch lots for free with your Prime subscription, but there are even MORE titles available to purchase or rent. My family frequently uses the "no rush shipping" credits to watch newly released movies. By combining the two benefits, there really isn't a need for any other subscriptions.

The Lost World
Arthur Conan Doyle | 2005 | Fiction & Poetry

6.7 (3 Ratings)
Book Rating
Arthur Conan Doyle's (more famous for his Sherlock Holmes creation) adventure novel, following a scientific expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America, where prehistoric animals still survive.

Interesting not solely from a plot standpoint, but also as a window into the then contemporary views on the Dinosauria family: who mostly come across as slow and dull-witted compared to more recent interpretations, such as those in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park.

Been a member of Amazon Prime for several years but not used this side of it before. Have been listening to Spotify for the last few months (advice from teenage sons) but actually this is better because there are no adverts. It is very easy to navigate and actually I think the choice of recommendations is better so Spotify will probably be deleted and I will turn to this for music from now on.

Very low budget (2 more)
Bad acting
Nothing funny for a comedy horror
Watch Friday the 13th instead
Another low budget Horror currently on Amazon prime. Also another one to miss. Starts quite light hearted and tries to recreate the 80's B movie slasher films. Although nothing particularly funny for a horror comedy. The last part of the film doesn't fit with the rest of it. Sadly another low budget offering not worth your time.
