Old school southern blues rock
As far as bluesy southern metal albums go, this is a corker.

Sweet Mountain River is my favourite song on he album as it is such a dirty blues song. I love it.

It’s a great album for driving to and also for part of your summer soundtrack.

The vocals are exceptional and the tightness of the keys, guitars and drums make it a well produced album.

If you like bluesy metal bands like Clutch, Black Stone Cherry, etc. then you will love these guys.

Loved this book. So easy to get into and made me laugh out loud quite a few times! My only problem is how short it is! I know there are sequels which are just as good, but I still would love to read more of it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn’t have much time to read or anyone who just wants a good laugh. It’s been years since I last read it, I think it might be time to read it again!

I really do love what Hayao Miyazaki creates. It's like any movie he puts out is gold. This movie is really wonderful. The characters are spectacular, and the animation is simply magical. I loved this movie a lot & I love the slightly creepy (Forest Spirit by far the creepiest) characters you meet as well.

FYI: If you're a parent looking for a new movie, please know that this anime is filled with violence & there is a reason that it is rated PG 13. It definitely relied heavily on the gore as well.

Great little tool!
We still need to work out exactly how much this little thing can do but so far so good. We have it set up to play songs from Spotify and mainly use it for music. It has come in very handy for cinema listings, weather, and as some entertainment when we just feel like asking silly questions. I imagine it will be invaluable once we start using it to it’s full potential.

Wow! One of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading! Totally original plot, superbly written, with amazing world building and well developed characters. It sucked me in from page one and never let go, I flew thru the story and was left wanting when the end came (far too quickly, mind you, as this is one I never wanted to end) and what an ending it was! I absolutely can't wait for the sequel! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this title!!

Megatokyo is by far my favorite webcomic. I cannot tell you how many times it has made me cry after spending about 5 minutes laughing my head off because it is that funny. Although you can read it on line for free, it is better to read it in book form if you can find it because it flows more easily that way. In my opinion this is probably the volume where the story starts getting really good, and the writer's art style has improved from the first book.

I have read 1-9 in this series so far and so this review covers 1-9. This is one of the best yaoi series I have read. I am defintely going to carry on with collecting the rest of the series as it hasn't let me down yet. I like all of the characters and the stories are all great in their own way. The first book is a little slow but book 2 picks things up very well. Highly recommended to lovers of Yaoi! I wasn't disappointed!

Anyone else belong to a bookclub? We have our next meeting on Monday and, as we are a wine-and-dine bookclub, we've going for a curry! Sometimes difficult to think up books to nominate that aren't too long, that people won't hate and will generate some good discussions. I think our favourite so far is probably Rebecca. We allow anyone at the meeting to nominate a book and then it goes to a vote - how do others work theirs? And of course do you have any books that really worked well for bookclub discussion?

I just joined a bookclub last month and so far really enjoy it. Anyone can nominate a book and then we all vote (2 votes each). A book stays on the nomination list for a few months and if it isn't picked it's dropped. We read Station 11 and that got a lot of discussion. Some people loved it (I fell into this camp), others were so so and a few didn't like it at all.

I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and had been looking forward to reading it. However, I was pretty disappointed with this book, with all the great buzz that had been created so far. I would give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. For all the drama I felt like it really lacked excitement until the last three chapters and it still was wrapped up extremely quickly once you reached the part that was a real page turner. I did enjoy the chapter switch from each character narrative.

My favourite
This is by far my favourite of the Harry potter books. Different from the others because of the time turner.
Harry, Ron and Hermione start their third year at Hogwarts and as usual end up in trouble and an adventure. Not only has it got all the amazing things that make every Harry potter book great but with the addition of buckbeak, the new classes, the dementors and other amazing creatures. It is a book that I can read over and over again and still enjoy.
