The kindle app turns your high-tech smart phone into a (relatively) low-tech ebook reader. While this seems like a backward step, the added portability and the ability to sync your latest reading position on your kindle to your phone to seamlessly carry on is a massive advantage. This generally works but has on occasion been a bit of a letdown.
I have also used the app to store PDF files for things like zoo tickets or maps when travelling in case of poor internet signal meaning you couldn't download them later which worked well.

I am a massive fan of Mark Billingham and I absolutely love his character - Tom Thorne - neither have ever disappointed me and, after reading this, they still haven’t. This book is ace as are all previous 12 novels. I am usually one of the first to the bookshop when a new one comes out but this time I was lucky enough to have been sent an eBook copy via NetGalley and I want to thank the publisher, Grove Atlantic, for this in return for an unbiased review.

For my full review, please visit my blog at http://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/time-of-death-by-mark-billingham.html, thank you.,

I Received this ebook from netgalley for an open and honest review.

I started this book and thought ahhh it isn't my thing, I'll give it a few more chapters and i'm really glad I did, once they started going to the theatre imaginique it got really interesting! I love the supernatural aspect to this, how it's being connected to the elements that make you strong. It was a really interesting read. The only issue I had was there were a few sentences that didn't make sense, they had somehow become gobbledygook.
Other than that it was a really good book and definitely recommend it!

The Ice Cream Man

She is a divorcee that suspects the new ice cream man might be selling more than ice cream from his truck. He is an undercover cop watching the frazzled mom that is the prime suspect in a check-kiting case. Neither expects for a love connection and a sweet romance to occur while uncovering the secrets about each other.

While this book was originally written in 1988 and newly released on ebook, it still stands the test of time. I enjoyed the whimsy characters (her neighbors are a bunch of fun-loving snoops and gossips), the unexpected attraction and romance, and the touch of mystery.
  
The picky eater that I am, when I see a book such as this - that makes me want to eat everything on the page - they have surely outdone themselves! This is one of those books that seeing in eBook format makes me NEED to see and touch it. Images throughout this book are truly incredible - clean, fresh and beyond appealing. Love the simple, clean country look. Contains many incredibly helpful tips and techniques for both cooking and kitchen, that every cook or baker would benefit from as well as a collection of both basic and creative recipes! Steps are wonderfully detailed and illustrated - truly a work of art!
