Myst (0 KP) rated When in Rome in Books
Feb 8, 2018
Hmmm, not sure how to explain this one. Feels a bit hit or miss in the storytelling as parts of the story bored me. The story just dragged on and on. With the whole door of one night conquests and then all of a sudden with the mom getting sick. This title became one of my few did not finish at some points, really hard to read as I found the main mc really winy. The only good part was what happened at the end.

What Love Is
This book beautifully illustrates in a way that is accessible to all readers what love really is. There are depictions of love as new parents, love as a father dancing with their child on top of a trailer home, love in the moments of a fight between parents. I bought this book for my son, his daycare, and my classroom. If you want a way to talk about how much love there is in a world that feels so destroyed right now, this is the book.

Very very 80s vampire comedy-horror; one of those films which feels like a music video with the actual song edited out. Family relocates to sleepy coastal town, discovers that dark forces are at work.
Not really what you'd actually call scary, but attractive to look at and genuinely funny in places. Cleverer than you expect; there's a nicely subtle gag about the teenage characters thinking the world revolves about them, when it's really the adults who are in charge and know what's going down. Good soundtrack, too. Entertaining stuff.

While it dragged a little in some places, overall this was a wonderful book. Royce and Hadrian bring back fond memories of characters from past RPGs. That isn't to say that Theft of Swords feels like one of those dreadful "I wrote down what happened in my D&D campaign and called it a novel" things, because that certainly is not the case! It's more that I felt as if I knew these characters, that I was there with them, and I seldom get that from any author.

Just okay.
I have been playing the Sims forever, so when a mobile app came out I was excited. But simply put, I wasn't impressed at all by this addition.
There's a level cap, and other than adding new limited time quests, this game seems stuck in place. I really wanted to love this, but I just couldn't. I get that it's a mobile app and thus limited, but it feels poorly executed at the moment. Hopefully there will be updates that make it better in the future. Until then, I have to pass.

I think this had potential with a good location for a horror, but overall it's no where near what it could have been. If this was a short story it might have been better but even at 85mins it feels way too long. The majority of the film features the girl running and screaming through tunnels in the darkness.....followed by more running through dark tunnels! The twist ending did start to become a bit obvious, well the first part anyway, and it has been done much better in many other horrors.

Good story about fate
A decent little romantic film, although labeled a Rom-com most of the time it feels more of a drama with a lot of light hearted moments than truly laugh out loud scenes. It did remind me of Serendipity quite a bit, would have to admit that is by far the better film. One of the best of the genre in my opinion.
Still this has a good cast and it was an enjoyable to watch, without being the typical hollywood Rom-com most of the time. Definitely worth checking out.

Beautiful love story! (1 more)
Belle is beauty and brains!
Be my guest, put my writing to the test! As usual the originals are so much better, this story is the perfect representation of beauty is found within. This movie put me in all my feels, from crying to joy and even admiration! There will never be a day where I would pass on watching this movie this has been one of my most favorites since I was little! Still it ever fails to entertain!

Almost nothing stays yours.
Good light dice game. Best with more.
This was a cute game. Feels like an auction game as players are simultaneously selecting a dice and going after a certain outcome. But if more than one person is going for it. It will probably cost more. Is it worth it? I enjoyed my play. I’d play again but I’m not sprinting to play again.

Snore factor 8
Took my boy to this and was feeling family optimistic due to the previews. However the only good stuff was in the previews. The movie feels long and drawn out. I ate my delicious pop corn and gallon of Pepsi and promptly feel asleep like a 40 year old man baby. It did however hold my 8 year old sons attention, so there is that. Snore factor 8 came into play after the first quarter of the movie
