Sam (1 KP) rated The Hole in the Middle in Books
Feb 8, 2018
I won this book through a Goodreads Giveaway and somehow never received it. I contacted the author and she was sooo very gracious to send me out another copy, thank you so much!! You are Awesome!!! :)
From the moment I started reading, I was drawn into the story. The chaotic life of a working Mom and her crazy work life! The anxiety of trying to balance kids, husband, a horrid boss, meeting after meeting, added job duties and then an old flame from the past that she still has unanswered questions about. Sophie was a likable and easily understandable character. I have felt the same way sometimes in regards to certain things.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and cannot wait for a new book, Kate Hilton is a very talented and wonderful author!! Please keep them coming!!

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Avengers in TV
Mar 4, 2018 (Updated Mar 4, 2018)
Iconic British cult adventure series. Very few shows change as much as The Avengers did over its seven season run; what started off as a gritty thriller about Ian Hendry's crime-busting doctor gradually transformed first into virtual science fiction (the Diana Rigg episodes feature mind-swapping machines, killer robots and a brain-controlling alien plant) and then a much more whimsical fantasy show for its final year or so.
Many of the early episodes are quite hard work now, but the two seasons where Macnee is paired with Diana Rigg are classic TV, and the sometimes-maligned final season with Linda Thorson also contains many neglected gems (the episode with the murderous clowns, for instance). Even when the show is not quite firing on all cylinders, there is always Patrick Macnee's inimitable performance as Steed to enjoy.

I really enjoy the way they talk about games.
This podcast isn't epic, but it does feel like friends you would have talking about games, they have foibles and aren't always polished but that adds to the genuineness of it. They obviously love to play games and all different kinds. They tend to focus on family and midweight games, but sometimes dabble in the heavy as well and obscure trivia. They added a new member when Whoop Whoop team droop left. Too early to judge how he fits in with the crowd, but he's been a friend for years so probably gonna be just fine. Give it a listen and once you get past the opening trivia, the game conversation usually starts. Usually.
This is one of the top 5 podcasts about board games out there.

Katie (868 KP) rated ipsy - Makeup, subscription and beauty tips in Apps

Inexpensive (1 more)
Decent sized sample products
I enjoy Ispy because I never know what new makeup to try, and am often afraid of trying new, unknown products. This gives me the opportunity to try out products without going "all-in" on the full-size product. I also like being surprised by products I would never have considered trying.
Of course, because you don't get to choose the products it can be a gamble. I've been sent plenty of products that are useless to me or are just plain awful products. But, I think the enjoyment I get out of trying the things I do like outweighs any disappointment from bad products.
I do most of my interaction with Ipsy on their website, but their app seems to run smoothly and I haven't had any issues.

Breakaway by Lisa B Kamps
Four Stars
What a beautiful story. The author had me in my feelings while reading this book. Babies are so precious and to lose one before they had a fighting chance just breaks your heart. The characters were well written and balanced each other out. Jean-Pierre was beautifully flawed. He accent perfect his sometimes shy and confused mannerisms. Not knowing what he wanted but knew that it began and ended with Emily. Her role was just heartbreaking. Always living with the knowledge of what she lost and the pain of doing it alone. The uncertainty she felt about JP and what his coming back meant. This second chance book is one to definitely pick up. It read quick and they moved fast but in the end it was worth and they ended well.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Fifty Shades Darker in Books

This was another good read from E.L. James. I thought that it was well done. The book seemed to flow better than the last book and I found myself enjoying it more.
I think my favorite part of the books were the emails. They seemed to bring the characters to life. I think that this is a guilty pleasures book. I definitely did not read it for the writing styles.
Like I said previously with the first in the series, the characters are likable. I like the fact that the characters do have flaws. It makes it easy for the reader to relate to them.
I would have liked less sex. The reason I say that is that in each chapter there were at least two sex scenes. Sometimes less is more.
All in all, this book was enjoyable.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2355 KP) rated Danny and the Dinosaur in Books

Delightful Day with a Dinosaur
The book features Danny, a young boy whose day in the museum gets much better when he meets a real Dinosaur. The two spend the day together, heading downtown, to the zoo, and finally spending some time playing with Danny’s neighborhood friends.
I remember enjoying this book as a kid, and it holds up well today. While there is really nothing in the way of plot, the pictures and words, sometimes more captions to the pictures than anything else, tell of a delightful day together for these two new friends. The pictures are a bit dated since the book came out in the 1950’s, but I doubt kids notice or care. Instead, they’ll be caught up in the fun of spending a day with a dinosaur, smiling and laughing at some of the situations along the way.

Me and my family use Amazon a lot for our shopping needs and I can read for free on there too which I really love. We love it because a lot of the stuff on there is cheaper than what you find in a store. Most likely if you cant find what you are looking for in a store you will find it on Amazon and you only have to wait 2 days for it to get there!
The nerdy birdie (67 KP) rated Roku Express in Tech

Fantastic!
I won this remote in a smashbomb giveaway and I could not be any more grateful!!! My parents already have one Roku Television & I gave this other remote to them for the second tv that they had in their home and now they can have a wide variety of shows, movies, etc. at their fingertips throughout their own little home! They live in an area where it is hard to get cable, and the installation is incredibly expensive so this works wonders for them! Especially since it can be linked to a Netflix! They are loving life! Sometimes it really is the little things! Thank you again so much! Hooking this up literally took 10-15 minutes! Easy breezy!
