This book was a lot different than I thought it was going to be, there were certain parts that really sucked me in and there were other parts that sort of seemed like they went unfinished. I felt like the romantic aspect was slightly far fetched with the detective and there were a lot of details left out about Celeste. Overall, very quick read and I was glad to have gotten this book from Kindle First.

Not to be taken seriously
This is one of the strangest and funniest shows of the year so far.
The premise of having celebrities from different fields dressing up and singing works really well. Although you can tell the singer's from the non singer's so their the ones that tend to get through every show.the best part is watching the celebritie panel guessing who they think the singers really are. Worth a look just for a laugh.

As good as, if not better than the first, I'm still in absolute awe of each character and how they act and speak and I just love them! You have to be a pretty special author to create characters that are memorable and so unique in contrast to other characters in other books but of course Laurel is just that amazing! Carlyle is by far my favourite female character in anything I've ever read. You fabulous Qilin you!!!!

A good, but underwhelming sequel.
A good film, an expansion to the Potterverse, providing more background the beloved wizarding world of Harry Potter.

While the first film in this series was good, this film contained more nods to characters from the Harry Potter saga, which added absolutely nothing to the story, not so far anyway.

A good film, with some impressive acting from Johnny Depp, though not overly memorable overall.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third book I've read in the Sukey Reynolds series and so far it's my favorite.

A woman is dead. Another woman is dead. These don't seem to have anything in common but our girl Sukey has a hunch that they do.

The dialogue in this one crackles and the detective work is exceptionally well written.

The idea of the story is good...you want to see what happens in the end...you want to see someone get their just deserves. (0 more)
This book is slow and hard going in parts (the plot twists are great but far apart so the story lags in between). The ending isn't the best...not want I was hoping for. Disappointing overall. (0 more)
It was hard going... took me a long time to read it as I wasn't that interested.

Amazing
This is by far Avicii's best album. You can tell he was starting to go to in another direction with his music and it worked so well. It's rare that I listen to an album and love every single track. There's normally at least one track which I don't vibe with, not this time though.

It's honestly just sad that he isn't around anymore to play this live because it would have been beautiful.

Best book ever
Three people in 3 separate parts of the world all trying to create the exact same perfume. Dropping into a backstory of man and woman finding each other and learning the secrets from a long gone tribe of Monks of everlasting life. In comes Pan and his stink and the reason to create such a perfume.

It's by far one of my all time favorite books and read it at least once a year.

Battery Life (1 more)
Charging time
I picked this up at Christmas for the kids. The tablet itself runs fine for what the kids are using it for the most- music, games and video's, but none of them have tried using it for homework. So far the only complaint would be that the battery life isn't long enough if the kids want to use it multiple times a day, and then it takes a long time to charge.
