Alicia S (193 KP) rated Reckless (Thoughtless, #3) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
Loved this series!! How can anyone NOT love Kellan Kyle!? Just the sweetest guy and the love he feels for Kiera is so apparent. I could totally relate to Kiera, I really loved her character and found her to be so much like myself. I loved watching the two of them grow together and was amazed at the level of trust they could find for each other in some of the most difficult situations. I laughing hysterically, loving the banter between the guys on the road, Griffin's mouth ;-) and then, of course, crying at every turn. I CAN'T WAIT to read Kellan's POV!!
He-Man rocks!
I love docs like this where they explain how something you loved as a child came to be and all the stories behind it.
Basically Mattel was kicking themselves after they passed on Star Wars figures to Kenner and was trying to figure out something they could do themselves. They were interested in Conan the Barbarian, but then found out the movie was going to be hard R so they decided to come up with their own line which ended up being hugely successful.
Wish I would've kept all my He-Man toys!

Fun game mechanics reminds me of monopoly (2 more)
Lots of different strategies
2 parts for the game can turn suddernly
I guess it is a game I had to play
This was a fun Game, which lasts a couple of hours. It requires a lot of planning to build your industry and to plan for the age of rail which is the latter part of the game. There is a lot to do in the game and i found it to be quite a heavy strategy game for the group of people I was with

Good series to start for a quick read.
I was worried this book was over hyped and once I finally read it I was pleased, I found that it was a very slow start and it didn't really pick up and grab me by the seat of my pants until I was almost finished with the book. I loved it and ended up binging the second book once it was released and plan to do it again if there ends up being a third part. I ended up really enjoying her writing style as the characters began to develop.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - Part One in TV
Oct 29, 2018
I was thrilled when Netflix picked up the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I really liked the horror comic, the original comics, and the goofy 90s/00s television show.
This show was sufficiently creepy, and provided me with straight nightmare fuel, as I found out last night. Sabrina was very much the same character as she has been all along, a teenager that makes slightly questionable decisions while trying to do the right thing.
The opening titles comprised of the original art from the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina graphic novel, as well as her first intro panel in the original Sabrina comic.

Yoshi (40 KP) rated Before I die in Books
Oct 29, 2018
I found this book really hard to read, probably because I was so disgusted by what the main character felt was important to do before she died. Amongst these insipid tasks were things like trying drugs and having sex, which probably weren't the best ideas considering her condition. I know most teens would probably say they wouldn't want to die a virgin, but even if you're dying having sex with a guy you just met is wrong. Usually I try to finish what I started just for the heck of it, but this book was just too painful to finish.
LilyLovesIndie (123 KP) rated Toro! Toro! in Books
Nov 5, 2018
This was a set text for a University module and I have to say, if it hadn't been for that I probably wouldn't have finished it. I found it to be much below the usual standard of Morpurgo, severely lacking in any kind of gripping factor to make people want to read on. This could just be me, but the plot was flimsy, needed much more 'background' on the Spanish Civil War and generally, something a lot more plausible than a boy who is essentially in love with the bull. Not something I would recommend or read again myself.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for review.
As someone who can stitch I found these entertaining and would be really easy to replicate in full cross-stitch, but this book has an added bonus for those who don't.
Reading the description ... "Perforated pages allow for readers to hang up or share favorite entries, spreading the cross stitched love."
So even those who can't stitch can pop out a page, frame it, and stick it up on the wall if they want to as from a short distance most people won't see the difference. A very clever idea.

Ok so this is the third book in the exodus end series. I have read all of the sinners and exodus end books and have absolutely loved every single one. Although I found this book to be a little long, it is one of my favourite stories (plus the more time I get to read about exodus end and sinners the better). Steve and Roux take you on a beautiful, emotional and sexy ride of twists and turns and love and laughter, and personally I couldn’t get enough of their amazing story.
Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for Dares story!

Why did I wait so long to read this book?
Why did I wait so long to read this book? Maybe I was afraid taking up the mantel of the winter knight would ruin a great character. Oh me of little faith. Butcher did a fantastic job. Humorous and heavy he actually answers some questions while he teases you over more. He even does some wonderful world building of the nevernever (14 books in and he still surprises) I found out more about the Fae in this book than any of his others.
