Life for Adults

This is the spirtual successor to The Game of Life. Unlike Life, you have choices. You choose a career, parterner, hobbies, and interests. Your job is to manage the finite time that humans have to harness the maximum possible happiness. Maybe you do that with a parter, who makes you happy, but takes your time? Maybe you forget about friends and family and pursue the maximum possible posessions.

If you can handle the steep learning curve and long game times, this is a fun deviation from the standard board game theme.

I still really want to try this game..... I might just have to break down and buy it without playing it first...

You might you might be able to find a board game place where you can play it without purchasing it first. In Plymouth there’s a shop that specializes in games—you just rent the “time” to play them.

Book Rating

Raw, emotional, outstanding

From the second I started this book I couldn't put it down, what an emotional rollercoaster of a book. Following the story of a man's journey with mental illness and his romantic relationship with his first love.
I fell in love with the characters, I felt their pain, their joy and their love. I cried, alot, happiness and sadness. This book was written with so much insight and knowledge showing the reality of mental health issues and the impact on the individual their lives and their relationships. Danny baker is an author I admire and who can really create an intense and a read that you just can't put down.

Sue (5 KP) rated Camellia in Books

Aug 13, 2018

Camellia is a beautiful model whose life is not her own. She does everything that her parent’s want including paying all of their bills. At a photo shoot, she meets a handsome pastor and an abused homeless teenager. Through them, Camellia finds a purpose in life and a backbone to finally do what makes her happy.

Camellia develops through faith, prayer, and the support of other women to have a deeper relationship with God and to finally find happiness. This book is filled with hope, a little romance, a little mystery, and a greater understanding of church and faith.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated Ava Gardner in Books

Nov 6, 2019

This book was in some places very emotional to read. She was a glamorous woman indeed. It proves stardom does not bring happiness. Due to her stroke she lost a part of her old-self. She drank a lot and was very down-to-earth. I was reading this book like she was a great friend of mine and you have to keep reminding yourself she is an actress that has died and that your arms cannot comfort her. I would like to know if Frank Sinatra paid her to be quiet. Either way, the book came out. The journalist wrote this book brilliantly. You could tell how much he genuinely loved her.
