Beautiful Immersive Story
Found this book particularly easy to dive into, I think due to the use of present tense. It made the story more immersive as you felt add though you were experiencing it alongside the characters. Some beautiful description and an interesting, unusual story.

An enjoyable comedy about a beauty pageant in the style of a documentary. It has a great cast in their earlier years here. It has some very funny moments, quite a dark comedy overall not afraid to make fun of its self. Glad I got round to watching it.

The saga of the Fletcher-Reid household is always entertaing. Big decisions need to be made and as usually the characters handle them with their usual self effacing and down to earth style. Humor and love can help you handle anything as Armstrong shows us in this series.
  
When the town drunk gets murdered, it distracts from Jake's holiday with her family. The characters are shallow and the writing style was distracting on this one.

Good game to play with friends
Wonderful game to play with friends. Interactive through chat. Paying $10 gets you the battle pass, which brings in challenges to complete if you need something to work towards. Without the challenges, the game can get repetitive.

Sheets was really sweet. It took me a bit to warm up to the characters but that tends to be a thing with me a leading children. Over all the pastel art style won me over and so did the cute ghosts. I give it a 3.5 stars.
  
Liked the stories, HATED the writing style .....I'd put it down for weeks and not read....rarely do I do that with a book, I can usually finish a short book like this within a day or two and it took MONTHS to finish.... stories were great though

When Poker meets worker-placement - you get Tiny Epic Western!

I enjoyed it because it was quite different. I also love me some poker :)
As usual, I lost, but it was amazing fun.

I liked the board, but the tokens - not so much. I liked the Texas style. Cool!

The Marinated Meeple (1848 KP) Jul 30, 2018

My wife and I enjoy this one as well, but we don't break it out as often as we'd like... it's not a strong 2 player game, much more fun with 3 or 4...

Extremely disturbing
I won this book on Goodreads and had heard great things about it, the book definitely had a buzz. The writing style was good and made it very easy to be extremely creeped out and uncomfortable at the main characters thought process and actitons.

Early 'tec noir; if it only seems so familiar now it's because just about every such book since has copied that style of pulp fiction: the hard-bitten private eye, the liberal use of the vernacular, constant rain and the femme fatale are all now hallmarks of the genre
