The story
Who knew DC could make a movie like this???
The finally done it. DC made a movie which was engaging, enjoyable and had a solid performance from its lead. Wonder Women has succeeded where man of steel and BvS fell short. The story of Dianna was not to watch, mainly due to the performances from the leads Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. There felt like there was real stakes in this movie which superhero movies sometimes lack. Where the movie falls short is the disposable villain .....it never really feels like Aries was a prominent plot point and was added in. All in all I found wonder women a please surprise.

Not very replayable
OxenFree
I want to start this by saying that I love OxenFree, I experienced it the first time over a year ago and again recently and that’s what it was an experience. The characters are well written and the story flows seemlesly and my only qualms with the game come with the replay, after the second time you play it through nothing but your choices are different and the game starts to drag but this is very minor and has no impact on the enjoyment unless you are hunting for all the endings and/or achievements

A True Patriot?
The first 3 seasons are brilliant, after that the show goes from explosive and gripping to being just okay. I wouldn't say that there is a categorically bad season of the show, but the first 3 are definitely the highlight and the best way to enjoy the show is possibly just to watch those first three seasons. There is a definitive end to most major character acts around that point in the show and honestly the character arcs that aren't closed off by this point aren't really worth sticking around to see through to the end.

Nothing special
I was expecting this film to be a bit of silly fun, but it wasn't quite as light hearted and entertaining as I'd hoped. Reynolds and Jackson make a great double act, with Jackson playing his usual character and Reynolds doing his great funny man act. Some of the humour was good although i think some fell a little flat. The action was good, even if some of the effects were a little dodgy looking. My main issue is that the film was more serious than I'd expected and I really didn't like the soppy romance element of the plot. Sometimes it's entertaining just to watch a bonkers action film.
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Staring Into the Sun in Books

Staring Into the Sun is a collection of poems that focus on love. Some of them were really sweet and cute, but others were hard to figure out. It's written so that the first line is one speaker, and the second line is the second speaker, but you're not really sure which is which until about the middle of the poem. At one point, it got confusing, and I wasn't sure if the person in the poem was straight or gay, and it threw me. I liked the poems, though. They felt like casual dialogue sometimes, and other times more intense confession. Staring Into the Sun is a light fast read (there's only about 40 pages).

Fast, light, easy and absorbing, just what I look for when I need help getting out of a book standstill. So it's not high literature, it's implausible, mostly predictable, dated, the main character's morals questionable, so what? Sometimes you just need a Jackie Collins-esque book that requires little attention, that's what you get here. If it wasn't a throwaway book, meaning I wouldn't read it again or remember much about it in the future, I'd almost give it four stars because of the fun factor alone. So, if you like a little romance, a bit of mystery, have a taste for the ridiculous and don't expect much, then you'll probably enjoy it.

Good app for motivation and inspiration
As an artist I sometimes need a push to get motivated. I found this app recently. It gives you a word prompt for the day. Once you have created your image, you can upload it to the days feed. You can view other people's drawings and give them a like or a comment.
It's also nice that you are given rewards. You get to pick a box which reveals a picture from a famous artist, which is added to your reward gallery. A nice useful, motivational app.

Thank you for letting me read this egalley.
First off I want to say how much this book blew my mind. I went in thinking this would be a fluffy story and man was I wrong. This book is so much more. There is drama, love, family, and an overarching idea that sometimes life may look bad from your point of view but others may see something else. Perspective. This book has it and it makes you sit up and listen.
Poppy and Claire are sister goals and I will forever root for them.
If you are in the mood to be moved and feel all while getting that warm feeling of love pick up this book.

Absolute favourite podcast
I absolutely love this podcast! It's funny and interesting and makes me think a lot about the world. I regularly listen to it on long trips or even as something to drift off to sleep listening to.
The only possible negative thing I could say is that while the occasional explicit content doesn't bother me, I have a 12 year old brother I'd love to recommend it to, but sometimes I feel some of the content in some episodes isn't appropriate, and it's difficult to tell which ones without listening to it first and making note.

It Continues...
Our favorite characters continue their journey. In this book I must say Arya is my favorite. She shows her true Stark strength unlike her sister whom Im beginning to get annoyed by. As the game of thrones is played characters are starting to bud into true players. Some who dont want to play the game find themselves thrust into it.
Martin does get a little wordy in this book but the plotline thickens and its worth the read. Like the other two books I couldnt put it down. My copy was just called A Storm of Swords with no other title.
