Can add location info to each photo if wanted
Can decide who, specifically gets to see each photo
Alerts you if someone screenshots your photo (unlike Instagram, where a private profile is only as private as the friends you allow on it let it stay...sometimes, that's a really bad feature of Instagram)
Temp stickers are definitely fun when sending photos whining about the weather to friends and family across the country
Patrick Williamson (6 KP) rated Mort in Books
Mar 29, 2018 (Updated Mar 29, 2018)
His best book IMO
An early ish Discworld book and the first to introduce Death.
Because of the vast number of Discworld books written there is a lot of crossover in the later books and a lot of folklore building. The actual stories sometimes suffer for this but not in Mort. It works as a standalone as well as part of the series.
I'm so glad and lucky to have a signed copy.
RIP Terry Pratchett.

It was a good dystopian fiction. I like how the female was a very strong protagonist. Most fifteen year olds I know would not survive so it seemed a bit unrealistic in that was because she was not a prepper family. That did not distract from the story though. It was well paced and had a good flow. It was a stand alone novel not part of a series and sometimes we need those in our reading lives.

Not really my favourite - I felt it was very slow, mind numbingly slow - it took me ages to get through for that reason. It picked up the last day and got more exciting, but still, could not make up for the 9 days prior. It was interesting in ways, gambling is fun to read about sometimes and Levi was a great read - I didnt mind Enne most of the time though the denial was a bit much.

Weeding through the links that don't work (1 more)
A site needs a good image to pin. Sometimes you come across something you want to pin that has no image and can't be pinned.
Ideas Galore
I don't know what we did before Pinterest. It is a place for you to organize and share all of your internet finds- crafty, educational, shopping, whatever. You "pin" it to a board so you can easily find it again.
Auburn (57 KP) rated How to Flunk Magic in Books
Jun 21, 2019
I read this through Kindle Unlimited. Its a fun read of magic going wrong. This book reads like how I imagine a real life witch would handle magic. Not everything will go right and you have to learn to be yourself. Plus the boy was swoon worthy.
My only problem is that it is very British. The terms and writing are sometimes very difficult to understand.
Should you try it: Do you enjoy magic that goes horribly wrong?

Worth the hype
A lot of people said this was great but I get dubious of hype but this lives up to it. With animation like the illustrations from a children's book, Klaus is a touching, heartwarming and even sometimes magically sad story. This is quickly going to become a firm Christmas favorite.

I chose this book because of its links to Egypt, my brother is an Egyptologist so it tweaked my interest.
I quite enjoyed the back and forth of the story from Egypt to England and vice versa. And I enjoyed the writing style, I found it quite Dan Brownesq.
All in all a good book, and a good story,which is quite exciting at times.
My only criticism would be that he seems to go off track sometimes .

There was a lot of information in this volume, and not much action. Therefore, it was one of those in between volumes that you need to further the story. It wasn't very exciting, though. So many new characters were added in the last few volumes that, coupled with the time changes and flashbacks, it's sometimes confusing to tell who people are immediately. All in all, it was fine. Necessary. Though, definitely not a volume of exciting action.
