Album Favorite

"In a weird way for me, same as Jeff Buckley, Count Ossie and Buju, this feels really churchy to me. It's quite an odd tune when you think about Jimi, the drumbeat is very meditative, the same way you get with Ossie and his repetitions. Lyrically it's not, man is on a lot of LSD but there’s something about it that I’ve always gone back to. I still can't really explain what it is, it's definitely linked in the same way. It’s got that sort of mysticism about it. And when you listen to that whole album, it’s like wait, what happened there? Everything else makes sense, but what's that? I love those kind of tracks. We know Jimi for this one thing and this is just like, somebody explain this? I wonder if he had to fight to get that record on the album because if I was an A&R I’d be like ‘Sick, but this doesn’t fit, maybe we should put that somewhere else.’ Whether it’s right or wrong I don’t know - but it's sick."

The music is classic! One of the best soundtracks for that era music that I've ever heard. If you like music from the 80s you'll absolutely fall in love with this soundtrack. (0 more)
No recent music and some of the songs from the movie are not included in the soundtrack. (0 more)
Great soundtrack for throwback jams
Overall, I gave it a 9/10 because the soundtrack wasn't complete and while it's awesome music it is also music I've heard plenty of times. It has the jams that make you want to groove.

Heart-Wrenching
I just finished reading this beautifully written heart-wrenching story and the tears flowing down my face are like a waterfall. You don't have to be a parent to comprehend or truly experience the many emotions that you'll go through while reading this book.

This author has written a story full of love, lies and overwhelming despair that reaches deep into your soul and shatters it into a million pieces as the startling truth of the night Olivia fell is revealed. This is just one of those books that will forever haunt you.

This was my first historical fiction story. I wasn't planning on reading it at first because I knew historical fiction wasn't my thing but I just kept hearing how great it was and how it kept bringing so many people to tears and that even if you don't like historical fiction you will love this book! So I decided to give it a try and I LOVED it. I think it should be required that everyone read this book, that's how good it was! This was the book that got me into historical fiction.

Good themes that make you think about them long after the end.
'Insta-love' but I'll forgive it in this sense. (1 more)
The title isnt wrong :'(
Death-Cast was a clever idea but I'm glad it's not real
Gosh I'm trying to figure out what to say about this book. It's LGBTQIA+ Friendly which is a big plus for me (I want to find that more in literature.) Adam Silvera has a way of writing that I like, I want to check out more he's written. I am not a big fan of 'insta-love' but it was ok in this instance.
I like books that make you think about them and wonder about your own existence. I liked the themes of how interconnected humanity is. I'm glad death-cast isnt real, but it was a clever idea. I didnt expect that much going into it because I dont read a lot of young adult novels, I was pleasantly surprised.

omg this book takes you on so many twist and turns my neck hurts.
what i don't like about some series is that the second book has to go and rehash whats happened in the fist book......like if the reader had read the first book like i have they would already bloody know and if not ...didums go read it anyway moving on. in the first book roth was my fave ,,,in this book i was so torn between zayne and roth i want layla to have both (is that greedy?) anyway layla is a lot less of an immature whiny baby in this book and i started to like her character a lot more honestly loved this book soooo much i even think i love it more then the first which is rare for me always love the originals. this is another book that took 8 hours to read even with having to do my day to day stuff it has you hooked from the beginning

Prey is the sequel to half-life that we'll never get from Valve.

Whether you want to sneak past a Thermal Phantom or atrack a Technopath head-on (which I do not recommend), Prey packs a flexible and versatile gameplay experience with difficulty levels that make you feel like a champion. The maze of Talos is bound to hold dark secrets, tragedies, and ridiculous jokes that will keep you entertained when you're lost for the 18th time.

With a great soundtrack that keeps you on you toes, monsters that scare the living daylights out of you, and that Bethesda charm that causes cups to vibrate (it's definitely more of a feature in this game— you'll see what I mean) Prey is one of the best games of 2017 and deserves some love in 2018.

Mooncrash is a terrifying and equally enrapturing DLC.

Highlights: I love the cover, it gives off that thriller vibe. Great read, couldn’t put it down. Had me hanging onto every word from the beginning even though there were a few slower moments in the book.

Style: Medium read, not too heavy and also not too light of a read.

Point of View: Third-person

Difficulty Reading: As Night Falls was a pretty easy read for me, but I tend to find Thrillers a little easier to read. I wouldn’t say this was a light read but it’s also not a heavy read, lying somewhere in the middle. There were a few parts that had me taking a bit more time trying to read and understand what was going on but these moments were far and few in between all the good parts!

Promise: As Night Falls promises a psychological suspense thriller that will keep you on your toes while you gain a love for the characters, it delivers.

Quality: All-around great read. Defiantly recommend to everyone who likes Thriller reads, even if it’s just a little bit.

Insights: You will either love this book or you will hate it, there’s no in between. For me, this was a love relationship that deserves many other rereads.

Ah-Ha Moment: When Nick reveals that he is the brother of Sandy, I had to stop reading for a moment to ponder the thought and what all was revealed already throughout the book that gave it away.

Favorite quote: “These days, her daughter could make obedience sound like defiance.” – Pretty much sums up the way of children haha.

What will you gain: A love relationship for Sandy and her family, this includes Harlan (as he’s like Hodor from Game of Thrones – innocent and being controlled by Nick). And an ‘I want to kill you, you scum’ relationship with psycho Nick. Plus a great thriller read that deserves so much more love than what it currently is getting!

Aesthetics: Cover was what pulled me in at first. Then the switching from past and present was hard to get into the first couple of chapters, but I feel like it helped shape the book.

“Timing was going to be key.”
