Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Lovestained - Single by Hope Tala in Music

Jun 18, 2019

Hope Tala is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from London, England. Not too long ago, she released a music video for her “Lovestained” single.

“Slipping back into happiness ‘cause you give me more time to live a life that sings like mine. You make me drowsy with delight and I’m slipping back into feeling blessed. ‘Cause you are so damn fine and I’ll skip into the sunlight with you and skip back at midnight.” – lyrics

‘Lovestained’ is the first single taken from Hope Tala’s upcoming EP.

So far, the likable tune has amassed over 500,000 streams online since being released in April.

Also, the song contains a relatable storyline, warm vocals, and tropical-flavored instrumentation laced with drifting acoustic guitar chords.

“‘Lovestained’ sits in the grey area between infatuation and love. When you just want the person you’re interested in to give you a little bit more of themselves so that you can let yourself fall for them.” – Hope Tala

Half-whispered and half-sung, ‘Lovestained’ is sheer honey for the ears. Also, it’s a sensual treat that lingers long after the first note drifts away on the open breeze.

Easy setup

Much quicker than typing questions into my phone!

I just got my Mini and I love it. Not sure the cat trusts it yet though - she goes on alert every time I ask it to do anything!
I can ask the Mini for radio stations I can only listen to online and it's playing within seconds, which I love. I listen to a lot of music and my app of choice is Deezer. It took a while to get that connected, but it was down to my phone rather than the Mini (resolved as soon as I set the default browser to Samsung Internet).
And, a little thing, but I love it - my clock battery has run down so just saying 'Hey Google, what time is it?' has been very useful. I also found it really useful when cooking to say 'alert me in 25 minutes'.
So far, it seems I can ask pretty much anything and it'll have an answer of some sort, but I'm still learning what it can do. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun.

Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein in Books

Jan 23, 2020

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White is a retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, written to commemorate the novel’s 200th anniversary. The novel follows Elizabeth Lavenza as she is first introduced to Victor Frankenstein and taken in by his family to manage his temper.

Elizabeth is a crafty protagonist who, over the years under the care of the Frankensteins, is constantly plotting and scheming. Regardless of how messed up Victor’s actions may be, White gives glimpses of moments in Elizabeth’s relationship with him where she entertains him and covers up his actions. Her survival depends on Victor, and her plots are twisted and manipulative to make sure she survives.

Kiersten White’s novel is a solid retelling that incorporates elements from Mary Shelley’s story. Although it is not necessary to read the original novel to enjoy White’s take, The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein is dark and disturbing and perfect for those who enjoy a horror story with a cunning female lead.
