A couple things I've noticed:


1) Sorting options in the list directory would be nice. Such as sorting by creation date, alphabetical, list rating/kudos.

2)When items are in the "Recommended for you" window it says "don't show again" when you hover over the x. These items inevitably show up again and again. It'd be nice if they were permanently taken out of recommendations so I can get new recommendations all the time.

Looking forward to sorting options!


The second issue is on the home page and everywhere else recommendations are. For me, anyway.

To clarify I will x out any recommendations I don't want and the assumption is that that specific recommendation won't show up again. When I return to my home page or any other recommendation page several of the old recommendations always show mixed with any new ones.

Now I know that Life of Pi was a major motion picture and got a lot of awards for acting. I didn't watch the full movie at the time, just a couple of clips when I was flying. At the time, it did not seem in the slight bit interesting and it definitely was not my cup of tea.

This book has it all, a little romance, some suspense, and quite a bit "I never saw that coming". It is a combination cozy mystery and suspense/romance, which makes it a great book for all three genres of readers. This story entwines the lives of Libby, her sister Mia, the couple that helped Libby through a horrible time in her life, and Rebecca a mother trying to understand what happened to her daughter.

Missed opportunity
A slow burner of a horror which is more psychological creepy than really scary. It's very subtle with the scares which come about more from the atmosphere created. Unfortunately the ending felt rushed and fell flat. Also a couple of things just didn't fit in how the characters would act in certain situations.
Overall not bad, but after a slow good build up it falls apart a little at the end.

I bloody loved this film. I wasn't expecting to, I thought it was going to be naff and a bit of a reformed Splash. I couldn't have been more wrong. There are similarities to Splash but this film was much quirkier, sweeter, sadder and happier. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm so glad it had the happy ending, if it had ended the couple of minutes before I would have been absolutely distraught.

Solid Latino New York Hip Hop
Probably arriving a couple of years too late and on a more indie rock label, As The World Burns never really made the impact an album as good as this should have done.

This is solid Hip Hop where the MCs sound passionate, with plenty of humour, punchlines and just dope beats. Q-Unique stood out but non of the emcees are week. Just go listen to it.

"A monster of a book, where you get to learn about the world and the people that we are. It is a book that I tried to read several times before finally reading it through, each time wishing I didn’t have a couple of kids on my shoulder or the roaring engine sound of a modern kitchen in my ears. It is simply the perfect book when you have time to really focus and think."

Everything has been leading up to the battle, and the time has arrived...and my heart was pounding quite a bit during those last couple of chapters. I was willing them all to pull through and to kick Valens arse, and they did. Big time! So happy for Alexis and Kieran and co.

That Epilogue has me a little worried. Is there going to be an offshoot series or more of this one?
