Just a thought for a category addition:
Recipes.
I cook all of my meals at home and use the internet to search for new things to cook. I know you can usually leave reviews for the recipes on the sites they are found (which I do), but I would definitely share my reviews of recipes here with everyone as well.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can confirm that recipes will be added within the food and drink category when it launches later this year ?.

Easy to play, can be quick or long. (0 more)
It just isn't as funny as it could be. (0 more)
I found myself finding this game super easy to play and have played it a fair bit.
I don't ever pick to play this game myself and I think that is because I just don't find it funny.
Where games like what do you meme and cards against humanity are laugh out loud silly or blurt out a laugh offensively funny I just found this one lacking, and for me that really puts me off playing a game like this.

I received a free copy of this book when I signed up to host the review tour via YA Bound Book Tours. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own.

Before I begin let me say that I found the cover of this book to be pleasing to the eye.

Now, if you love reading books about royalty and their drama filled lives then you will definitely want to read this and if you also enjoy romance, then know that you have hit the jackpot. The story line kept me glued to every turn of the page and the author's world building creativity made me feel like I was there experiencing it all. Instead of telling you who my favorite characters are I will tell you which characters I hated with every fiber of my being; Vacilla and Silas as they truly made life a living hell for the people around them.

I found the characters to be well written and I loved reading this book. This book contains just the right amount of romance, drama and adventure. I will definitely be reading the second book. Kudos to J.D. Wright for a fantastically written fantasy.

Was interviewed by Bloomberg news reporter today concerning high cost of OCD med. I will let you all know if any of my stuff gets included in final piece. He found me through my mental illness blog. I have an orb on here about mental illness as well if any of you want to check it out. Yay! Mental health FTW!!!

"This book is a practical manual, following esoteric Tibetan practices, to attain lucidity in dream and even dreamless sleep. I followed the instructions for a time, and found they worked. My dreams opened up and I started to gain lucidity. If you follow these techniques out to their furthest extreme, you will realize the dreamlike nature of reality and attain enlightenment."

This was a very helpful textbook that I used for a coaching class to get a certification in coaching from the American Sport Education Program. A lot of the information was common sense, but there was some information that I found to be interesting. I enjoyed being able to discuss this with the class. I strongly recommend this if you are clueless about coaching a sport, otherwise I'm not sure how much you would really benefit from it.

Beautiful Immersive Story
Found this book particularly easy to dive into, I think due to the use of present tense. It made the story more immersive as you felt add though you were experiencing it alongside the characters. Some beautiful description and an interesting, unusual story.

It's weird that you arnt quite sure what's going on all the time
That I didnt figure out I could use my remote to make the main character choose differently (0 more)
Quite odd, but entertaining
Contains spoilers, click to show
It's quite a strangely entertaining film, it took me over half the film to figure out I could make the choices for the main character so that was really interesting when you can choose differently. There is supposed to be a secret ending but I havnt found it yet

This is a classic who dun it type of book, I loved the different perspectives. This was a slow book to read which you will have to have in mind, I must admit while reading this I did want it get going , which it eventually did at the end but if you love slow burn books this is definitely a book for you , dont think slow burn books is my kinda thing
  
I can sum this up as a if you enjoyed the Wheel of Time series with it's multitude of characters and in-depth lands then this is for you. You may need a notebook to keep everything straight though as there is a lot.

I enjoyed the plot and the massive world building but for me it was too much to keep straight and I found myself going back to remember who was who and how they go into the bigger story.
