Erika (17789 KP) rated Beasts of Extraordinary CIrcumstance in Books

Nov 19, 2017

The synopsis sounded better than the book actually was, it was a little disappointing. Stories about the main character, Weylyn, are told by the people around him. It's definitely a neat idea, but, I'm not sure it worked entirely. I may need to read it again. I did enjoy it overall, and for being a debut novel, it wasn't bad at all.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons in Music

Jun 29, 2017

Sign No More is a fine debut from a band that’s patiently picked up the tools of its trade, and chosen the right moment to give them full rein. If Mumford & Sons aren’t exactly keeping it real, they’re certainly keeping it in the family.

Critic- Emily Mackay
Original Score: 7 out of 10

Jan 12, 2018

This is the debut novel for Mark Hill and, I think, a successful one and I want to thank the publisher, Little, Brown Book Group UK, and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review which can be found on my blog ... <a href="https://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/the-two-oclock-boy-by-mark-hill_4.html">Reading Stuff 'n' Things</a>.

Multiple perspectives done right

I have loved this debut book from author Riley Redgate for years. It was the first time I had ever seen a pan character in a book and that really helped me during my coming out process. It also tackles something I love about books, mixed perspective. Seven different narrators that all have different vices and lives and secrets.

Cardi B's Debut, 'Invasion of Privacy,' Is Personal and Undeniable

Invasion of Privacy is lavishly emotional, intimately personal, wildly funny, as Cardi tells the tale of her life with high-profile guests like Chance the Rapper, YG and Kehlani.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Anatomy of a Scandal in Books

Jul 12, 2018

This debut is slow and somewhat predictable. The only “twist” takes place halfway through the novel and doesn’t really make up for the sluggish pace of the story. It delves somewhat superficially into the lives and thoughts of the characters but not enough to really make us invested in them. It is not a bad novel but I had hoped for better.

KarenRC (6 KP) rated Haven (Rebecca Filmore Series, #1) in Books

Jul 23, 2018

This is one of those books that grabs you from the first few pages and you can't stop reading. The story was well written, using the different character perspectives to narrate the action. I am hoping that this is the start of a compelling series starring Becky and well done to Victoria for such a good job on her debut novel.

Album Rating

This is Canaan's debut album from 2015 and includes his #1 hit Love You Like That and third single Hole In A Bottle. The title track is about the death of his oldest brother.

I love this album and him in general. None of these songs have gotten old and I usually listen to this album at least weekly; if not daily.
