Google's premium answer to Airpods!

If you're looking for new BT earbuds w/ premium look & feel on par w/ the Airpods, I would consider these a top contender. Naturally, they come w/ a premium price tag at $180, but I think it's well worth it. 2 LED lights tell you both the battery level of the earbuds and the case itself. When the case is fully charged, it only takes around 10 minutes to charge fully, and gives you around 8 hours. Small, snug feel means you won't knock them out when putting on/ pulling off shirt or hoody with them in. You can even turn on Share Detection, meaning you can give a bud to a friend, and each bud's volume can be adjusted independently. Google had also stated they will get semi-regular software updates. I've had mine for about 2 weeks and they've already gotten one.

The Nameless City
By H.P. Lovecraft

The Nameless City of the story's title is an ancient ruin located somewhere in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula and is older than any human civilization

As someone who isn’t very wordy and struggles with certain terms I’ve always sort of stayed away from H.P. Lovecraft but my husband installed all the Novellas onto my kindle so I thought what the hell let’s give it a go! I don’t pretend or write big long fancy reviews so this won’t be as intelligent as some you read if you read it at all!
So I enjoyed this short I felt so claustrophobic during the crawl through the hidden corridors and found myself getting involved in the story. This even to me is the whole point of writing to bring your reader into the world you’re creating. I did have to find out a few of the big words as like I said I’m not entirely sure of some of the language used! I’m not entirely hooked from one short book but I’m certainly intrigued!
