Clever but repetitive
I elthoroughly enjoyed playing it but I just found it quite tedious walking back and forth for the tiniest bit of information. Patience isn’t a virtue I own unfortunately so maybe it just isn’t for me.

Perhaps I'm biased but when I was a seventh-grader going through her parent's divorce I found comfort in this book. Every single word even the long descriptions of corn.

Now, having received my own copy for Christmas I was able to laugh and cry all over again. Thank you, Dewey.

Quite faffy to find books (0 more)
I love this app. It's great that you can download tracks to listen to offline. It pauses if you get an incoming call. It remembers where you paused so you can come back to it easily. I also like that you can change the reading speed as at first I found it too slow. I'm so chuffed that my library is a part of this. I do find it a bit faffy to find books. Especially foreign language books (of which I'm still to find)

Worth a watch
To be fair I was hesitant as I found batman vs superman went on for ever and got boring in bits however this film was a far better movie great acting and kept you engaged from beginning to end.well worth a watch

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!


Steph has been headhunted to help unravel a code that has been found that so far nobody has had any luck trying to decipher. Whilst working on the code she finds the mansion under attack she hides out in the best place she can think of, she does get found and for some reason, the person that found her seems very familiar and when he reveals why she is stunned!


Mirrorfall is the first in the series Ash and Blue. I found the book quite interesting - it's a bit MIB mixed with Winx saga and a bit more besides. Although I found it captivating there were times when I kind of thought hang on a minute, really would you process news like that as quickly as she seemed to? There were also times I did feel slightly confused as to what was going on that was more in the first few chapters though it may just have been me.


I did enjoy the overall story and experiences that happened in there so would definitely recommend you read this.

There's been, what, 6 previous Rocky movies?

I've definitely seen the first and second; think I gave up part way through the third.

Which is what I wish I had done with this - I found it slow, plodding, heavy handed, and just generally not really all that interesting at all.

Guess you could say I'm not the target audience!

The chemistry between Ferrell and Wahlberg is great and you can just imagine they had great fun filming this film. I like both actors a lot and found the film amusing. Good, clean family fun.
  
It's a really good story my only grievance is all the little errors I found. Wrong character names. A semi major plot point, the song they keep talking about is incorrectly called Would You Rather instead of Rather be with You. Things like that.
  
I found myself grinning and giggling as I read this mythological YA book and had an extremely hard time putting it down. The author's writing style quickly pulls you in and you find yourself falling into the captivating story line enjoying the likeable characters. I highly recommend this hypnotic read.
