Lindsay (1717 KP) rated Billionaire's Jet Set Babies in Books
Feb 15, 2018
I really enjoyed this book. It has to do with father of twins and he meets a girl that cleaning his Jet. Alexa want this Jets for her cleaning business. She was cleaning up the jets. When she did the found two babies in the airplane left unattended.
Seth return early to his plane. She do not know for sure. He come more into the place and Alexa let me know this children were attended in the plane. But there some connection between these two people. Seth asked to be a nanny for 24 hours but do things change or not. If you want to find out suggest picking up the book to read. I strongly suggest that you like Romance for though that up to you.

Sam (74 KP) rated The Poet X in Books
Mar 27, 2019
I actually didn’t flick through the book before buying it, so I didn’t realise that the whole story is told through poems. I was a bit unsure with this to begin with because I tend to struggle quite a bit with understanding poetry, but I was glad to see that this was really easy to understand!
I wish I’d had this when I decided that I really hated poetry throughout school and college because I feel that this teaches how form and structure can change the mood a poem better than any teacher can explain it to you. The form is constantly changing throughout the book and it always reflects the poet’s mood, which I found fascinating.
I do feel that the format did hold the plot back a bit, mainly because the plot had room for development but I felt that it was held back by being written in poetry format. There were a few parts that remained ambiguous because of the format meaning that events were sometimes lacking in detail.
I loved X, she’s strong and won’t let anyone tell her what to do, and she really just needs some love. However, it did annoy me how Aman took her back straight away after the way she treated him. I found that part frustrating because she acted horribly to him, but he seemed to just not care. I also wondered how she even had friends with the way she treated people around her. I understand that she had family problems, but she was absolutely horrible to some of her friends but they still stuck by her.
Even though I did get frustrated by these things, it didn’t stop me from enjoying the novel. The format made it fun and I did somehow finish it all in one day because it had me hooked.
It’s definitely worth reading, especially if you are into poetry – or even if you’re not!

Balanced view of autism
Fantastic
I haven't seen Series 1. In fact I didn't realise there had been a prior series, so I watched this in isolation and I was none the wiser! This stood as a series on it's own. Now, I have no personal experience of autism so I don't know whether the portrayal is accurate but I found it really interesting. At the beginning the parents seem to have a solid marriage and appear to be coping well with their son's autism but as the series progresses you find out that all is not as it seems and at least one of them is struggling. This series could have sugar coated the affect of autism on a family but it didn't and that is to it's credit.
All the characters are memorable and I loved how their lives intertwined.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Galatea - Immersive Stories in Apps
Oct 23, 2018
I recently found this app, and the idea behind it is that it tells stories in episodes. So far I am giving it a go to see how much I enjoy it.
So each day the next episode becomes available for you to read. The downside to this, as an avid reader, is waiting till 7am for the next part to become available. However I think their goal is to make reading achievable by releasing a 5-10 minute part of the story each day so that it is easy to slot into your daily routine. You can purchase or earn coins by leaving comments at the end of each episode and then 10 coins allows you access the next part quickly.
I have started three stories so far and am thoroughly hooked on two of them, the third may take a bit more to grip me. What does seem a bit concerning is that there are not many stories to chose from at the moment, but I’m hoping that will grow as the app does.
It claims to be a fully immersive experience when you read with sound on. So far it seems to play music in the background and then message sounds when characters are texting. You can turn this off if you want to. To read the story you tap the screen to get more text or move onto the next page, however I don’t yet know a way to go back if you accidentally click to soon.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated War and Peach (Georgia Peach Mystery, #3) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
I really enjoyed the last book in this series, Rest in Peach, but I think War and Peach is even better. When local farmer and mayoral candidate Clem Rogers is found in the debris of his burned-down barn, everyone suspects his political rival Margie of having done away with her competition. Nola Mae is sure that the woman isnt capable of murder, but the rest of her small town dont seem to agree. Sure that an innocent woman is being railroaded, Nola steps in to investigate.
I love the small town feel of this series, and the realistic, down-to-earth people. They could be your neighbors rather than characters in a story, and that might be what keeps drawing me back to Cays Mill. You can jump right in with this book even if you havent read the first 2 in the series, but youll probably want to go back and catch up if you do!

Cool enemy design
Great Survival Horror
Until I played this game the only survival Horror games I had played were some of the early Resident Evil games. This was actually a very good and very creepy game. One of the first that used a flashlight mode I think? A lot of the game had you wondering what was going to be around the next corner.
Set in a prison after being found guilty of killing his family. You have to try and escape as some creatures have taken over the prison. Along the way you can help others or not... The decisions affected flashbacks towards the events that happened. You could also use your anger to turn into a a mini Hulk rage type creature yourself. It was a big game taking a long time to complete as well.
For the time a lot of the ideas were quite new and original.

Sounds Like a Fun Book for All Ages
This is a simple book. There’s really no plot, but as we read, we find out about all the noises that Mr. Brown can imitate. Yes, he can imitate a cow, but there’s also a cork, rain, a train, and a butterfly. Yes, you read that right.
This has all the creativity, humor, and charm of a classic Dr. Seuss book. I loved it as a kid, and I found it just as fun reading it to kids when I was older. Since the sounds are part of the rhythm and rhymes of the book, they call out to be made as you read, so it is most fun if you really get into it. This is classified as an easy reader. Some of the sounds written out might not be familiar words, but it is a chance to challenge young readers in a context they will get. Add in Dr. Seuss’s illustrations, and you have a winner.
