Stephen (188 KP) rated Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (Soundtrack) by Various Artists (Mamma Mia) in Music

Not the best male vocalists
I really like a good number of the songs. Some even better than the original versions. The only things that could have made it better was if the had found male actors that could carry a tune. Lily James and Amanda Seyfried more than make up for their shortcomings though. Overall a good listen.
Twists and turns

What would you do if you found out your dead wife was already married and that it was murder? John Sims plays an excellent part in this gripping series of love, betrayal and mystery. You find yourself trying to discover who did what and find yourself completely wrong. Loved the note at the end 'it was always you'
StrangeJuice (0 KP) rated My Brother, My Brother And Me in Podcasts
Nov 17, 2018
Hilarious and addictive
These brothers have found the secret sauce of comedy. The informal, friendly feel combined with the minutes long tangents turn this advice podcast into something I look forward to every week. I would have given a score of 10/10, but Griffin thinks that face cat is better than hand dog and just can't award a full score to someone who thinks that.
It is a 3.5-4 star book.
Everless a world where time is money and time is found in blood. This is a great concept and engaging book. A bit slow to start, however, once it gets going it's on. It can get a little redundant from time to time, still worth the read. Also, I never saw that ending coming; things aren't always as they seem.

The storyline
Wierdly intriguing
After all the fuss on social media, I thought it would be worthwile watching. Yet the dissapointment soon set in. The realisation that I wouldn't recieve a scare became a realisation within the first 10 minutes. I found myself watching the film to the end to see if it would go somewhere, but it never did.
Kate (355 KP) rated Spotify Music in Apps
Jan 7, 2019
My husband strangely got me into this app and he hates social media and any apps, but it is brilliant for listening to music, there are ads if you don't pay for the premium service but that doesn't actually bother me. It will give you suggestions to listen to or you can choose your own, have found some new music to listen too whilst doing chores.
David McK (3562 KP) rated QI: The Book of General Ignorance: The Noticeably Stouter Edition in Books
Jan 28, 2019
If you've ever seent he quiz show QI, you pretty much know what to expect: lot's of well known 'facts' that are shown to be wrong, usually due to semantics.
This is a collection of such articles from the show, interspersed by 'comic' quotations from the participants - quotations which, for the most part, I found to be painfully unfunny. Maybe I just don't get the humour shown ... ?

David McK (3562 KP) rated Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, #3) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Third entry in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, and maybe I was beginning to burn out as I had read the first three books back-to-back in the course of about a week, but I found this one to be slower moving, more graphic and heavier going than either of the two previous novels.
Of the first three books, this is by far the weakest.

Kate (355 KP) rated The Moonlit Cage in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Read it a few years ago and it has always stuck with me, found it recently at the back of a bookshelf and reading it again. About a young girl growing up in the remote areas of Afghanistan, being forced into an arranged marriage and then finding her way in the world. Not too soppy or romantic but realistic would suggest that everyone read it.
David McK (3562 KP) rated Wounds of Honour (Empire, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
I don't know why, but for some reason: I just couldn't get into this book.
While it's not the worst I've ever read, I found it to actually be quite heavy going: even the action scenes seemed, to me, to be void of any danger or excitement, while the plot seemed pedestrian at best.
In short: don't think I'll be rushing out to buy the sequel!
