You may have read on another post that I was on the lookout for a replacement IPad as mine is about 8 years old and apps were no longer compatible with it. I was shown this one by the salesman and it ticked all the boxes, the screen is slightly bigger it is 10.5cm, there is a home button and a jack for headphones, the screen and graphics are so much sharper and the memory is 64GB compared to current one of 12GB. I am normally so behind the curve with technology but pre-ordered this one last night online as it doesn't even hit the shops until today, I just have to wait impatiently for it to arrive. I did also buy a seperate keyboard only because I have never liked the onscreen one (being a typist), a seperate keyboard is so much easier.

I didn't know what I would think about this book when I picked it up. I had found out about it through people recommending it online through my tumblr when I asked for a new fairy tale book to read. I was not disappointed.

This was interesting because it was not really happy. It hearkened back to the Grimm brother's fairy tales in that respect. There were some Russian fairy tale influences I could feel throughout here when I was reading.

I loved how dark the characters were. They felt very fleshed out and very well written. Great job.

The plot was really nice and, again, well written. Not too many slow parts, though there were a few. I still enjoyed it.

I love the fact that it's a standalone so I can have it all wrapped up. I think I may look up her other books.

Professional identity theft is scary

I remember watching this film shortly after its release thinking how scary this is in the modern age of social media. I warn my kids not to reveal themselves too much in the public domain because you never know who else is watching and listening.

There was some controversy on whether this movie was even legit or it was a "Catfish" for all of us, but I believe it to be true.

I can only imagine the disappointment, anguish and outrage to discover your online relationship partner was feeding you a line of total bullshit from the beginning. If this is true, the victims must have had a hard time believing the levels which were gone through to keep on the ruse.

I found the documentary captivating and intriguing.
