Leah (: (569 KP) rated Queen of Tomorrow (Stolen Empire, #2) in Books
Feb 4, 2019
This is the second book in the series and picks up just after the last one finished.
By now Sophie has grown up and is becoming Catherine, you start to see more of the leader she could be as she goes about establishing herself within the court.
Sophie has a more clear idea of who she can trust, pretty much no one, and that she must go to extreme lengths if she is going succeed and one day be queen.
Unfortunately this book did not have the bonus content videos like the last one did. I found this a real shame as I really enjoyed the extra insight in he previous book. I did still enjoy the story though.

Touch screen controls feel clunky
Good but just as frustrating as the original
I love/hate paladins. I find it hugely frustrating or very satisfying depending which way the games go. Paladins Strike, on android? Cool! First few games were good then it all started going downhill. It might be me but I found it hard to control. I've played other games with the same set up, but this just doesn't work that well. Skill choices that you buy with credits, pop up on the screen while you are playing. Thats distracting. It could be quite fun but the lack of control makes it a dud for me.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Lady of Palenque : Flower of Bacal, Mesoamerica, A.D. 749 in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I read around fifty pages before I decided to quit. The story was rather boring and the numerous names were confusing, so I had a hard time keeping everyone straight. I think the main problem was that the author got bogged down with historical details - names, descriptions, what was going to happen, and even things that didn't really matter and forgot to tell the story. I think there probably is some interesting stuff in here, but frankly, I don't care to wade through the rest of the book to find it. However, I did read the epilogue and historical notes, and found them very interesting. That is the best part of the book.

Good app for motivation and inspiration
As an artist I sometimes need a push to get motivated. I found this app recently. It gives you a word prompt for the day. Once you have created your image, you can upload it to the days feed. You can view other people's drawings and give them a like or a comment.
It's also nice that you are given rewards. You get to pick a box which reveals a picture from a famous artist, which is added to your reward gallery. A nice useful, motivational app.

The Tale Continues...
I was really looking forward to watching ‘Glass’ as I thought ‘Split’ and ‘Unbreakable’ were fantastic films. ‘Glass’ is here to round off the storylines from those two movies, and it sets out to achieve that. However, I just couldn’t seem to connect emotionally to the film, despite outstanding performances from the cast. I also felt the film could have done with being shorter, and I also found myself getting confused with certain parts of the plot. Overall it’s a good movie, but I feel the ending let the whole thing down - there is a slight twist, then everything takes the safe and boring route to end the movie.
Wendy Jo (37 KP) rated the Xbox One version of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition in Video Games

Worth the 20 year wait!
Literally have played this franchise since I was 8. Never even for a second imagined there being a third installment. When it came out I couldn't afford it, and the wait for the game made finally besting each difficulty and getting the fill story line so very worth it. The Seasonal Play, (comes as an option, not a pass like with Fortnite or Paladins) further adds to the excitement of rare loot and drops. Granted, you are playing the same game over and over, and for some people that would be infuriating, however, it's part of the reason I love the game so much.
ALilLacey (2 KP) rated Reached (Matched #3) in Books
Mar 4, 2019
The final story of Cassia, Ky and Xander. Now that they've found each other and inserted themselves back into society more questions are answered about society and how it's run but then even more questions arise. An deadly illness appears quickly killing many members, but why are there a few that are immune? Can they find a cure and how will Cassia, Ky and Xander help save them all? I loved the first two books and loved this third. Each book had its own story and its own way of telling them. They all kept my interest and all kept me guessing what was going to happen next, especially Reached. Great dysotopian!

If you’re a nerd, this is for you! Kindred Spirits is a story about Star Wars fans, and even though Star Wars isn’t my thing, I found the story really cute and I was pulled in right from the start.
This book is worth getting just for the cover! It’s all glittery and gorgeous and you really have to see it in real life to really be able to appreciate it! Mine’s the hardback though – I’m not too sure on whether the paperback is actually glittery.
It is only a tiny book though – I did expect something a bit bigger for the price of it, but I suppose that it does only have two short stories in it.

I must admit I was not in love with this book when I started it. I kept putting it down and walking away. Sonya just rubbed me the wrong way and I had no connection or want to hear her story.
Finally I made a point to finish it and I am glad I did. The plot was easily followed and you could tell where it was going but you found yourself enthralled with the nuances.
That is not to say I got to like Sonya better until the very end. Her need to fill the void and follow really got to me. She had no real self and just ugh. But 3 stars for the plot and originality.

Auburn (57 KP) rated A Date with Darcy (Bookish Boyfriends, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
Bookish boyfriend's is a book for any starry eyed reader. Let's be honest at some point in time every reader has thought "boys(or girls) are better in books". Or found ourselves imagining what it would be like to be the other person in the book getting a relationship with said amazing character. Well this book brings it to life.
Merri gets to live her dream of book boyfriend's and finds out maybe we need to look deeper than just a first glance/dream idea.
I absolutely adored this book, the character, the references, and that it wasn't just cut and dry predictable. I sincerely hope the author gives us a glimpse into another characters story in the future!
