This is one Medieval story that I wasn't a big fan of. The wording was confusing along with the story line itself. It was one of the more religious texts that I have had to read for my Medieval Literature class, and since I'm not the biggest fan of that kind of story, it obviously wasn't my favorite. This is possibly the same poet as the "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" poet, but I enjoyed that one more.
I recommend this to people who like Medieval Literature that has heavy ties to Christianity and convoluted plots.

Christina Henry really did create a truly twisted version of Wonderland in Alice and I really loved her take on the characters I've enjoyed since I was just a small child they were dark and crazy and I only wish she would have explored each character a little more.
My favorite character by far was het take in The Caterpillar I would love to read a book just in him his whole part was just so dark and twisted.
The plot while familiar had a lot of great twists though some of it got a bit repetitive at times for me.

IMHO, this is one of the best modern war movies that's been made in the past few years. It's gritty, and the battle scenes are intense. Does Jon Bernthal really have to be a d-bag in everything? At least it worked in this film. I also always like seeing Shia LaBeouf in films, though he doesn't do many anymore. Michael Pena did a great job too, but he's one of my favorite actors. Logan Lerman did great portraying his character, and you really felt the terror he must have felt. Brad Pitt was basically playing LT Aldo Raine again, but it worked.

I had downloaded these stories from Armstrong's web site, but never got around to reading them (I don't do much reading for pleasure on a screen). I'm sorry that I delayed doing so! Don't make the mistake of thinking of these pieces as second-rate or "throwaway" just because they were free at first. They are a delight, and do a lot to fill out Clay and Jeremy's backgrounds and motivations. The final story, which is completely new, is also marvelous. Jeremy has always been one of my favorite characters, and I really appreciate seeing him as the focal point of a story.

What happened, Anna???
Quite possibly one of the most boring and uneventful books I will reach all year, unfortunately, as I am usually a pretty big fan of Quindlen. Every Last One is one of my all-time favorite books. Very forgettable, under-developed characters. How am I supposed to get lost in a story if I am not able to invest in the characters and don't care what happens to them? If you are going to choose a newer title by Quindlen, Miller's Valley is the better choice, or go for a classic!
Erika (17788 KP) rated the PlayStation 3 version of Tekken 6 in Video Games
Jun 17, 2018
The first game I always purchase when I have a Playstation, is Tekken. I played the crap out of Tekken 2 on the PS when I was a kid. So, when I purchased a PS3, Tekken 6 was the first game I purchased and played. Tekken is an excellent fighting game with a large variety of characters. Nina is probably my favorite, and always has been.
The only gripe I have is the skimpy clothing on the females, like legit a chick wouldn't fight in some bikini thing. But, that's a gripe I have with all female video game characters.

What can I say but this is yet another win for Melissa Pearl?!? She is honestly one of my favorite authors, and I have yet to read of book of hers where a) it didn't warrant far more than 5 stars, and b) I didn't contemplate forgoing work/sleep/etc to keep reading! Now, we have a tag-team authorship in the works, and I have to say it's been great so far!
Kudos to a bright start to what will definitely be another wonderful series, and I'm already anxiously awaiting these girls' next adventure. =D
5 stars (of course)

Don't judge a book by it's cover is something I've been told since I was little. It's something I still do and this story showed me how that bleeds into judging people and why first impressions are important we most certainly should never judge a person based on our assumptions. I enjoyed reading this book the story was slightly frustrating in parts but I simply think the author was just trying to emphasize the conflict so that the light of why we shouldn't judge would be brighter. I also loved the poetry along the way one of my favorite parts of the chapters.

This is one of my absolute favorite social deduction board games. Each person has a secret identity that you can choose to share (or not) with other players in the game. You need to be good at both bluffing and social deduction to win.
This game is best with 11-20 players. You can play with any number, but it starts getting a little unwieldly once you get up to 25-30.
It is not hard to teach this game- I play it in class with my college students and it doesn't take too long before they catch on.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent in Books
Jul 12, 2018
Oh man, I did not think I was going to like this book as much as I did. First off, I love dragons. They're some of my favorite mythical creatures so naturally this book intrigued me. I have to say, I really loved this book. The characters were strong & I could easily relate to them. Isabella was a fun character to watch grow. Her tenacity was admirable & I kept rooting for her. The plot was unique & kept me guessing which I really appreciated.
All in all, I loved the character growth & I will definitely continue on in this series.
