Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Eat Your Heart Out (Starting Over #2) in Books
Jul 14, 2021
The story revolves around Dana and Alex. Two teachers who are struggling with dating and dieting
I enjoyed the storyline. I enjoyed learning about the characters and their lives. What I personally struggled with is the way it's been written. You get settled into a chapter, really start to get into it, move onto the next chapter and get confused because it's changed rapidly. Well yeah, it will do because it's from a different character. It's not always clear at the start of the chapter which one it is, so you're thinking your Dana only to find out no, actually that's Alex. I found it didn't quite flow for me as I didn't know what was happening
A great storyline that I personally found confusing 3/5

RavenclawPrincess913 (253 KP) rated Breaking Dawn (Twilight, #4) in Books
Feb 22, 2019
Contains spoilers, click to show
In the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer my favorite book is Breaking Dawn. Why is this you ask? Renesmee, she is my favorite character out of the whole series. I love how her mother Bella went through all that pain and never gave up on her. I also understand why Rosalie was on Bella's side through it. I would have done the same if I was in their shoes. I found Edwards reaction cute when he could hear Renesmee's thoughts while she was still in Bella's belly. I also don't blame Jacob for sided with the Cullen's when he found out about Bella being Pegnant it was the right thing to do. I found Jacob imprinting on Renesmee very weird at first but later understand that it was necessary for the plot and it's different while she's still young. I find Renesmee to be an extremely intelligent young child and love the way she communicates. Also Irina deserved what she got in the end and kind of found it funny when Aro backed down because he was scared. I find him very creepy by the way too. I also love the ending when Bella let's Edward in her mind by letting her shield down and his reaction to it was adorable.
Would I recommend this book? Yes

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Small Town Girl in Books
Jan 18, 2018
As far as style goes, Spencer has a beautiful and easy style that seems to seep into her mind like a daydream. It's so easy to read through her works, that you are over before you even realize you have begun. Her characters are solid and real, the type of people you can imagine walking out onto your front porch and seeing no matter where you are from.
I loved the humor and realness that seemed to come naturally to this story. I found myself laugh just as often as I found myself cringing in frustration at the stubbornness of the characters.
However, this novel was so boring, I had a hard time completely it. While the words flowed quickly from the pages, the story itself held no interests whatsoever. It felt like a peak into someone's diary of their everyday life or watching a lifetime movie. It was so true to life (minus the famous country star scenario), that it just didn't seem to have any appeal or magic.
I feel that giving it three stars may be to harsh, and yet at the same time, I cannot justify giving it more.

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Red Queen in Books
Jan 2, 2019
Not gonna lie...I was a bit sceptical when I picked up this book. But I was quickly pulled into the world of Reds and Silvers and the Red Guard. I found myself listening to this book every spare minute I had. Intrigue, secrets, unknown powers, fears, lies, family, betrayal, and HOPE bleed onto the pages of this book in a neverending flow.
I still don't know who to trust, although I DO know who is evil...I think...You know, come to think of it...I have no idea...afterall...
“Anyone can betray anyone.”
― Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen
It is ridiculously hard to review a book like this...Only because I don't want to give away spoilers. So I will leave you with this...If you love YA books...and have a fascination with dystopian/sci-fi type books...You should definitely give Red Queen a try. I think you will really enjoy it! Now excuse me while I finish the series....
I borrowed Red Queen on audio from my local library. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Merissa (11805 KP) rated Motherland: Fort Salem - Season 1 in TV
Jan 7, 2021 (Updated Jan 7, 2021)
Motherland: Fort Salem is a dark fantasy full of twists and turns to keep you glued to each episode. No one is as they seem and the characters change as the season progresses. It is funny and sad, loving and full of sorrow. Each episode leaves you wanting more ESPECIALLY the last one which keeps you on the edge of your seat!
An absolutely fantastic series I am so happy to have found and I can't wait for season two!

Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Walk the Deck (Walk the Walk #2) by Marilyn Barr in Books
Jul 15, 2022
Magda and Bronko are sailing to Jamaica. Bronko wants to have a quiet life, however, Magda has other ideas. She wants more than just to settle down and become a wife.
This is the second instalment of the Walk the Walk series. I haven't read the first.
I found this story quite slow going, to be honest. It seemed to take a while to build up to the climax and by the time it got there, I was at the end of the book. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as I hoped. I don't know if it's because I haven't read the first book.
I do like the way the characters get to know each other through the story. You can feel the emotions and feelings becoming entwined between the 2 main characters, as well as the protectiveness of the rest of the crew. There is quite a bit of banter I found myself giggling at, so there are some fun times had.
Give it a read I hope you enjoy

Talented actors (2 more)
Keeps you hooked
Great plot
Fantastic series!
I wasnt really sure what this series was going to be like when I started watching it, but it's really great! It's gripping, interesting, tense and will keep you hooked! I watched it very quickly, each episode leaves you wanting more.
The actors are mostly children, but this doesn't dampen the series at all; they're brilliant!! I actually found it very refreshing to watch a series with talented child actors and loved the entire cast! I really liked Winona Rider in this series also.
The plot itself felt very original and can be quite scary at times! It's very intriguing and will absolutely keep you hooked! I haven't watched or read anything quite like it, so definitely interesting. Definitely worth watching!!

Anne (15117 KP) rated Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity in Books
Nov 4, 2019
This book was so enlightening and amazing! I'm planning to read it again to do the exercises more thoroughly. If you read it or should I say when you read it as it mentions in the book, you'll want to be ready for the exercises. I was laughing so hard and then there was serious deep thinking too. Also, I found myself nodding and agreeing with everything Felicia was saying.
Everything in this resonated very strongly with me and I just love it SO much!!! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. If you haven't checked this book out, then get on it so you don't miss out!
Thanks so much to Libro.fm and Simon & Schuster Audio for letting me listen and review this wonderful and empowering book.

Words With Friends
I love this game. It is easy to download and easy to play. You can start a game and it stays in play until there is a winner, even if it takes weeks for you to complete play. There is a great nudge feature to remind your friend of the game and you can play several games with different people at the same time. Highly recommend.
