Stayed fairly true to book
Amanlda is fast becoming queen of Ya adaptations
I throughly enjoyed this film. For the most part the cast is relatively unknown but it been proven in Dystopic ya books to film adaptions this works well.
With the hate u give coming out the end of the year Amandla Stenberg is proving to be a force to be recoken with within the YA film genre. She is able to captive and keep the film moving.
It rare to find a film that keep true to a books premise and plot however this film did just that.

The Roth Homestead (32 KP) rated Marked (House Of Night #1) in Books
Aug 22, 2018
Grabbed my attention from the get go.
I've always had a strange fascination with vampires so when I found this book I was super excited. The story of Zoey Redbird and her learning how to be different while still trying to remain normal was very interesting to me. It's been a while since ive read it but I love the danger and adventures she goes on. I always felt like I related to her, being a sort of outcast in school and only having a small group of really close friends. I definitely recommend this series!

Imaginative world building
Wonderful plot
A wonderful reimagining
This book is the first in the series. This book was on my list for awhile, but I had been holding off reading it. I’m glad I finally did. It was a fast paced adventure with a sprinkle of romance. It had me rooting for Cinder the whole time, and there were enough twists to keep everything interesting. The villain was good, though I think she could have been given stonger motives. This was a fantastic retelling of an old fairytale, with an awesome sci-fi twist. I would highly recommend it.
David McK (3721 KP) rated Hammered (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #3) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Third entry in Kevin Hearne's 'Iron Druid' series which, I felt, is a strong contender in being the best of them so far.
As the third novel, however, this is one that you would need to read the earlier entries first, as it ties up loose plot points from the first two stories and, in particular, follows on from the previous ('Hexed'), in which Atticus agreed to help the vampire Leif as well as the werewolf Gunnar to kill Thor, the Norse God of Thunder (yes, that Thor).
Fast moving, laugh out loud funny in parts and with some solid action scenes, I was mightily impressed by this entry.

David McK (3721 KP) rated Isard's Revenge (Star Wars: X-Wing, #8) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
If, by and large, books can be compared to food - the classics being haute cuisine; the terrible books being dog-food - then the X-Wing series of Star Wars books (all written pre-Episode One, and based on the popular LucasArts games) could probably be best described as fast food: enjoyable enough in small doses but you wouldn't want to live on them and not always that memorable.
With regard to this book, which picks up from the end of Timothy Zahn's "The Last Command" (with the ending of that novel shown from a different perspective), it's also more than half way through before the jacket blurb begins to make sense.

Excellent Affordable Earbuds
The soundison wireless earbuds are affordable high quality earbuds. They retail for £46.99 on Amazon.co.uk and they are well worth the price. They come in their own case which is also the charger. Nice and compact, easy to carry around. Charge within three to four hours and last about 8 hours continuous music. Easy to connect to various devices (i connected them to my Lenovo Laptop, Ipad 4 and Sony Xperia XA2 with no problems). Nice light indicators to show charging that changes colour when fully charged. Ideal for those with lower budgets but who still want excellent sound quality.
MadyKate (400 KP) rated Stalking Jack the Ripper in Books
Dec 29, 2019
This was one of the few book series that I obsessively read and instantly loved. The romance isn't fast paced, there's historical facts that are interesting, and Maniscalco really knew how to captivate not just me, but other readers too (I got my friend obsessed with this series as well).
I will say, its not for those who don't like the extreme detail on violence and gore, but if you're a fan of crime novels and topics such as Jack the Ripper, then you ought to love this book!
I'm so glad I found this book and would happily recommend this to many people.

Format is very different (1 more)
Easy to learn and play
Lite and playful castle seige co-op
I really enjoy this little gem. The format is different in that the board is played as a giant pie chart with various ringed zones based on proximity. Its co-op and everyone works to fight an non-stop onslaught of monsters attacking the central castle from around the board. Its fun, fast, and non-stop action. Everyone very much works together and it has a clear end. The boulders are a little too much of random chance in my opinion that can make or break a win, but overall I enjoy this breezy game.
book sparrow (239 KP) rated Hardpressed in Books
Jan 17, 2020 (Updated Jan 17, 2020)
nope nope and nope i just couldn't force myself to read past the second chapter. i read fast and lose myself in a book but the fact that i could easily be distracted my lint instead of reading this book told me there was no point in going forward. The ending of the first book had me wanting to read this second one but the first chapter had me putting it back down for good. yes there was quite a bit of sex but the story line wasn't gripping me enough just found it bland i need dark n dangerous and this just isn't it sorry
