Dana (24 KP) rated The Raven Boys in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This was surprisingly good. Since I wasn't the biggest fan of Shiver from the Wolves of Mercy Falls series, I wasn't sure how I would like this book. I really enjoyed it. Thank you to all of my tumblr friends who kept recommending this to me so that I would actually read it. I had been putting it off for about a year and a half.
The plot line was very well paced. Though the chapters were narrated by different characters (something I don't always like) it was clear as to who was speaking. The characters were interesting and fun. I loved the growing relationships between the boys and Blue. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys supernatural novels with mystery and a crap ton of psychic magic. Great job Ms. Stiefvater!

The 1st I ever read and still one of my favorites.
This was the first Stephen King novel that I ever read. I was proably in fifth or sixth grade, and my brother had been reading Stephen King books for years. I picked up his copy of Christine that he had checked out of the library and started reading. I was hooked and for a long time I was current with everything that SK wrote.
Christine is still a favorite of mine.
Boy fall sin love with possessed car. Possessed car gives boy confidence and his life gets better. Car gets jealous of boys relationships (all of them) and starts to make life much worse then it was to begin with.
I still want 58 Plymouth Fury... White over Red... cool vanity plate.

Gail (4 KP) rated Waiting for Tuesday (Suspicious Hearts, #2) in Books
Jun 4, 2018
I hate boring stories happy that this wasn’t one. Tuesday didn’t want wild nights or one night stands. She needs stability and forever. Then she meets John and all that is over. How could this hot guy want her and be faithful. John was awesome he was very loving and patient. His commitment to Tuesday is beautiful. For the simple fact that he didn’t know if he could do relationships. She wanted nothing to do with him so she kept pushing. Well John wanted the complete opposite so he kept pulling until she gave in. When she needs some remodeling done she is shocked that John was there. When things get hot they both finally get what they want each other. A good read for someone looking for light and sweet.

Multiple difficulty levels
I love this game and bought a PS4 just so I could play it as I was a Xbox owner.
I love that you have so many choices on the difficulty level as sometimes you just want to do story mode and explore the world. Other times you want more of a challenge to the game.
I dropped 1 point to it because you have a lot of different characters flirting with Aloy (and i love how she responds to it as to me it shows how she was raised in isolation) but I would have liked there to be more options on how it could develop relationships for better or worse depending on your responses.
Overall I think it's a fantastic game and can't wait for the next.

Time waster
I have been on Facebook for some years now but recently decided to deactivate. Fb is great for networking, promotion and promoting ypur business. If used correctly it can be a great platform to boost your business.
For friendships i dont recommend, you can spend so much time on there talking to people who you wpuld probably just pass in the street, if you wouldn't then you certainly don't need fb to communicate! We have lost the ability to communicate face to face and fb doesn't help.
I see so many relationships and friendships breakdown because of fb so i advise people to happily use the app but to also have a break from time to time!

I wish we could give half stars in reviews, as I feel this one is more than a 4 but not quite at 5. Its a beautiful story, wonderful in its simplicity, about relationships and emotions and just being human. You can relate to all the characters, their fears and struggles and joys and challenges in figuring out who they are and their place in the world and just life in general. It was also a trove of information about birds and NYC that was interesting and helped the story instead of weighing it down. I expected it to be more along the lines of chick lit type fluff and was pleasantly surprised to find that it went much deeper. All in all it was a very satisfying read.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Grandparent's Book in Books
Nov 14, 2018
I borrowed this book from the library for my mum and dad to read but i thought I would read it too so we could all talk about it. I was very pleasantly surprised by this book, it is packed full of information for not just grandparents but parents as well. It has sections which answer some probing questions you might have (questions that real people in real situations have asked the author)which I found very helpful. The book covers pretty much everything you would need to know about the child-parent-grandparent relationship, I can't actually think of anything that it might have missed...very thorough. It covers everything from emotions, relationships, financial aid, education, health issues and many other useful topics. I highly recommend this book to all grandparents.

Heartbreaking.
First of all, this is based on the real life of Georgiana Cavendish, the Dutchess of Devonshire. It needed to be raw, a storyline that is hard to swallow. Thankfully Ralph Fiennes and Keira Knightley are fabulous actors and play the parts so true to the actual people involved.
I don't want to spoil this one as I do think it should be watched, especially as a piece of History. It really makes you appreciate the little things in your relationships. It's honestly so heartbreaking though I cry when the end comes every time (i am a massive softy though admittedly).
All I'll say is, afterwards have a google and see just how accurate this is to the real Dutchess of Devonshire. You'll be shocked.

Deserves more appreciation
If you haven't watched it because it's the same plot as Doctor Horrible or Despicable Me, then please do yourself a favour and watch it anyway. I did that mistake first and really enjoyed the film. If you've seen it when it came out and thought it as bad, then please watch it again with the view point of today's issues.
It surprisingly has a clear message about the superhero genre getting exhausted, criticises the objectification of women as trophies and how the fedora, good guy type of attitude can end up really harmful to friendships and relationships.
Plus it's got an awesome soundtrack and really funny moments. It's so much better than people give credit for.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Detectorists in TV
Jan 31, 2020
Beautifully understated comedy (nearly a comedy-drama, really) about the lives and loves of a pair of middle-aged metal detecting enthusiasts. Brilliantly written, directed and performed. Part of the considerable charm of the series is that it is so charming and relaxing to watch: the countryside nearly always looks lovely, and the show is a definite slow burn. It takes its time to establish the characters, but the pay-offs, when they come, are superbly funny.
On the other hand, there is genuine tension in the more dramatic storylines, as the characters mess up important life decisions and struggle with their relationships. Very satisfying to watch; anyone who understands the appeal of pursuing an uncool hobby in the company of your best friends will find a lot that resonates here.
