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 (3562 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 ...

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!

Josephine Adams (0 KP) rated Youtube in Apps

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.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Aggretsuko- Season 1 in TV
Jan 21, 2019 (Updated Jan 21, 2019)
I wish this show had been around when I totally worked a terrible office job, but alas, it wasn't. Retsuko vents her anger by singing metal karaoke, and raging. I totally felt her rage, and wish I would have had an outlet like that. I can't wait until there are more episodes this year.
My only complaint, which is towards Netflix, is that the dub and the subtitles did not match at times, and sometimes, the characters were having different conversations. Dude, Netflix, just match the dub and subs.

Coleman Balogh (21 KP) rated Dungeons & Dragons: Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game in Tabletop Games
Dec 17, 2018 (Updated Dec 17, 2018)
Good play mechanics and a ton of miniatures
This game plays as a distilled version of D&D and really does keep everything you love while losing some of the role playing and complexity. Hey, sometimes you just need a good dungeon crawl and this certainly won't disappoint those looking for just (and I mean Just) that. There's a little bit of character leveling but overall its a randomized dungeon with random monsters and treasure. Lots of pretty good miniatures to use during regular D&D doesn't hurt.

Love Social Deduction? Then Love Secret Hitler!
This is one of the best social deduction (if not THE best) games I've ever played: and I've played a lot of them. I highly recommend getting a group of friends together to play this: you will not regret yelling at each other for an hour about who's Hitler and who's not. So fun!
