Cheryl (6 KP) rated Amazon Kindle in Apps
Jul 2, 2018
I absolutely love the kindle app. I have it on my phone and I also have a kindle. I can buy books on my kindle and they will instantly sync to my phone. If I read on one device I can instantly pick up on another. However, I don’t like that I can’t buy books on my phone, I end up saving books and either forgetting and missing deals or forgetting altogether

Cool survival game to play with a friend
I play this with my son. We have several worlds we play. It can be difficult especially when you lose all your stuff and playing legitimately can take forever. There is a cheat option though and for my son it makes the game easier when you just want to go around killing zombies and collecting stuff. The game sometimes freezes or stops working but not enough to cause major problems in playability

Great little tool!
We still need to work out exactly how much this little thing can do but so far so good. We have it set up to play songs from Spotify and mainly use it for music. It has come in very handy for cinema listings, weather, and as some entertainment when we just feel like asking silly questions. I imagine it will be invaluable once we start using it to it’s full potential.
This is the second book I've read by Jane Corry.
I liked the first one, My Husband’s Wife, and I liked this one just as much.
The story is told between two timelines, 2001 and 2016 which can be confusing sometimes but it worked really well in this case.
Fantastic characters, including Kitty and Alison, two sisters with very different personalities; Fascinating plot with unpredictable twists. Very engrossing story!
I am looking forward to Jane Corry’s next release.
Thanks NetGalley and Penguin UK – Michael Joseph for the opportunity to read and review this fantastic novel.

I went to the cinema to watch this half dreading it as thought it would be very slow. Instead i got into it from the first moments instantly engaged into the live of Brain (micheal cain) as i meet the rest of the gang i could help but laugh at their stories and in genral how they interacted with each other.
I sometimes got lost in the cockney slang but most of the time even if i didnt know for sure i got the gist of what they meant.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated I am, I am, I am: Seventeen Brushes with Death in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.
David McK (3721 KP) rated Around the World in 80 Days in Books
Jan 30, 2019 (Updated Oct 16, 2020)
Jules Verne's classic which, I have to say, I could not help but think of the 80's cartoon while reading.
In case you've been living in a cave: late 19th century (1870s, I think) adventure, in which Phileas (or Willie, in the cartoon) Fogg makes a bet that he can travel around the world in 80 days - it's all there in the title! - accompanied by his valet Passepartout.
Set aside the colonialism of the time, the (sometimes) cringe-worthy racial stereotypes, and just enjoy the travel! Mind, there's no hot-air balloons involved ...

David McK (3721 KP) rated The Good, The Bad and The Undead (The Hollows, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The second of Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan books, I actually found this to be a better and more enjoyable read than the first (Dead Witch Walking): perhaps because it is now free of the constraints of needing to set up the world and characters?
In any case, and like previously, the majority of the book (the first 2/3rds or so) deals with the setup of the plot, tying it all up in the latter portion: I sometimes wish she'd get to the point a lot faster than she does!

I love that theres not only movies you can rent but there is specifically a kids version that has parental control so you can control which videos they can watch. Plus the videos are reccomended by age so they are all kid friendly. My son absolutey loves youtube kids and it actually has helped him learn too.
