DreadpirateSmoo (95 KP) rated Joking Hazard in Tabletop Games
Oct 27, 2021 (Updated Oct 27, 2021)
I found myself finding this game super easy to play and have played it a fair bit.
I don't ever pick to play this game myself and I think that is because I just don't find it funny.
Where games like what do you meme and cards against humanity are laugh out loud silly or blurt out a laugh offensively funny I just found this one lacking, and for me that really puts me off playing a game like this.

I received a free copy of this book via Clean Teen Publishing Elite Reviewers which I am a member of. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions are my own.
When I read the synopsis I knew I just had to read it. This book contains magic, romance and drama and it is about light versus dark {good versus evil} and though at times I found myself enjoying it, I found myself to be somewhat disappointed as well. Jessica is trying to locate/discover more information about her biological parents but by the end of the book we still don't really know anything. Now this could be what the author intended so I do plan on reading the next book. My other issue was that I found the characters to be good, the world building seemed somewhat lacking. I am giving this book three stars and I'm hoping that there will be more explanations in the second book.

Three girls held a deep, dark secret. Three girls made a promise they vowed to keep forever. Now something and someone is threatening that promise. Will the truth come out or will these women do anything possible to keep their secret hidden forever?
I found this to be an excellent psychological suspense story. Some may describe this as a slow burn but I found the pace to be perfect for this story. The characters build and grow with the story as does the plot as told from past to present. The ending you won't see coming.
The are loads of little hints dropped through the story and some are just red herrings to keep you guessing. I found myself totally absorbed and unable to put the story down til done.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this psychological story with all it's dark twists and turns!
Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and enjoy!

I have enjoyed all the James Patterson’s novels I have read to date.
This was the first of his BookShots that I had bought and when I saw it on audible.co.uk and lasted just over 3 hours I thought it would be perfect for a drive I had ahead of me. However, I was disappointed. The story itself is fast paced and in well-known Patterson style but I found it to be a weaker plot with predictable conclusion. I found the narrator, Jean Brassard, difficult to follow at times as he spoke with (in my opinion) a poor French/American accent. I think I would have preferred to read it rather than listen in this case.
MoMo Book Diary gives the audiobook a 3* rating – as I did not enjoy the narrator and found the book to be lacking in James Patterson’s normal style. This review is also published on my blog momobookdiary.com and Amazon websites.

When Aliens Attack
Contains spoilers, click to show
District 9- was a intresting film.
The film is partially presented in a found footage format by featuring fictional interviews, news footage, and video from surveillance cameras witch is really intresting.
The story, which explores themes of humanity, xenophobia and social segregation, begins in an alternate 1982, when an alien spaceship appears over Johannesburg, South Africa. When a population of sick and malnourished insectoid aliens are found aboard the ship, the South African government confines them to an internment camp called District 9. Years later, during the government's relocation of the aliens to another camp, one of the confined aliens named Christopher Johnson tries to escape with his son and return home, crossing paths with a bureaucrat named Wikus van der Merwe.
It was Neill Blomkamp director debut and he did a great job.
District 9- mixs sci-fi with action, found footage, horror, suspense, thrills, chills, drama all into one film.
A highly reccordmend movie.

I finished reading the book today, or perhaps I should say I skimmed the last 18% or so!
I found the book up until then to be a favorable Holmes-Lovecraft mashup. Lovegrove's characterizations felt spot on, especially his [Spoiler Alert] Moriarty. I was especially taken with his reworking of Holmes and Watson's first meeting.
However, as I alluded to in the beginning of my review, as I coasted into the last 18% of it on my Kindle Fire, I found myself beginning to feel sleepy, my eyelids slowly easing their way down. It was at that point that I found myself skimming to get myself to the end.
The ending did not feel as strong as the book started. It felt like it went on too long. By the last page, I was just, "Whew! Glad that's over!". I will most likely check out the other two books in THE CTHULHU CASEBOOKS trilogy, but no rush on that.
