What’s not to love about thousands of choices that cost less than a cinema ticket (0 more)
Sometimes even with all the choices there’s still nothing to watch (0 more)
Sometimes too much choice
Netflix is great, it’s introduced me to lots of great tv shows (Hells Kitchen USA, Kimmy Schmidt, Shark Tank) it lets me binge Drag Race over and over and over.


BUT Netflix I have one GIANT question why do you introduce me to a show I love and then not give me every season there is? It’s like saying here is a million pounds but you can only spend £1.27

Netflix is great but sometimes too much choice isn’t great, I can’t be the only one who watches the same thing over and over and over again?

Netflix is responsible for creating some truly great drama and comedy but is that ruining tv as we know it?
Is Netflix classed as tv? Should Netflix shows be considered for tv awards?

Truly 21st Century problems ?

A Good Read
When I read the synopsis of Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney, I knew it was a book I had to read. The book synopsis makes it sound very interesting! I was feeling like I had made the wrong choice a little past halfway through the book. However, the second half definitely got interesting!

I enjoyed the world building. It was obvious that the author, Alice Feeney, was meticulous about the building of Sometimes I Lie. Everything felt very real, and I felt like I was experiencing everything first hand.

The pacing of Sometimes I Lie is very slow for a little over halfway through the book. I wasn't sure if I should continue reading because I was bored of this book. However, I am so glad I persevered. I was rewarded with a very fast paced second half that I couldn't get enough of!

As for the plot, it's explained early on with Amber being in a coma. It's just a matter of finding out what led up to the point of her being in a coma. There are so many plot twists in Sometimes I Lie! I never predicted any of them, and they are really well written plot twists as well. The plot twists continue right up to the end of Sometimes I Lie. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure this book out. (That's a good thing)!

Just like the first half of this book, the characters do start out a little boring. I found myself not caring or relating to any of the characters at first. However, once I got to the second half of Sometimes I Lie, I was very much interested in each character. Amber and Claire are very much interesting characters and have an interesting past. I will leave it at that.

There are themes of violence, alcohol, rape and some swear words in this book. I don't feel as if these situations were too over the top.

I would definitely recommend Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney. I would say that even though the first half is boring, hang on for the second half because you will happy you did. The plot twists in this book are amazing!

The only reason I have an instagram is to look at cute cat pictures. The app is not perfect, sometimes it's out of order, and I almost always accidentally hit the camera because it's exactly where the home button is on my phone. Overall, sufficient.

This is a really enjoyable podcast. The variety of topics they choose every week always has something I also enjoy and like to hear about. Sometimes Griffin talks over Rachel, but for the most part they have a good dynamic and the podcast flows well.
