Fern and Abram not getting in the love. Abram is taking care of his siblings for a amount of time. He is always turning to her for something. The way they get together is quite different from any other way and I really enjoyed it.

Each book or story in the book is different. They found their romance differently form each one. Each story tell a different story. I like this some for that means there are three different ways. Each one is a wonderful read and enjoyment. You can read it if you like and decide for yourself.

After three books of radically different story telling with amazing, intelligent, and interesting characters, I was ready for this book to end about 100 pages before it did. By the end of the novel, I felt that the Stelian plot was stretched a little too thin, and I would've have been happy enough to see Karou and Akiva fly off to resurrect her people ... screw the Stelians.

Online Cards Against Humanity
Easy to get a game together. As you play you open up more and more cards and decks to play with. Nice way to pass an evening with friends both in the room and far from home.

A quick story: We had family in town. One of the nephews suggested we play Evil Apples. By the end of the night we had eight people playing in three different states. It was such a good family moment... based around horribly funny cards, thoughts and visual images that made some of us sleep badly - LOL.

Good job Evil Apples.

I try to go into these docu-series with a completely unbias perspective. A few episodes in, I didn't really know who to believe. I didn't care for the defendant, Michael Peterson, but that has nothing to do with whether he did it or not. The state's case was a mess and didn't prove crap to me. Maybe the jury didn't understand how the US justice system works?
My only gripe is that it's a little too drawn out. They could have condensed some of the episodes. I thought I was at the end, but nope, three more episode.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The beginning starts with a mystery that leaves you excited to discover what it means. I was worried that I wouldn't be satisfied with the solution or that the ending would disappoint me enough that the book wouldn't be enjoyable. I was wrong on all counts. The book delightfully sets up an alternate universe with interesting parallels to our own. The magic system is creative, novel, and well-explained. Finally, the characters are well-rounded, three-dimensional, and fun. I enjoyed every minute of it- couldn't put it down!

Day has won critical acclaim for her three previous novels and this latest offering is an astute thriller that will appeal to a wide audience. The story revolves around old friendships, social climbing and a secret that could change everything, all over the course of an evening. Day has skilfully recreated the societal norms of the twenty-first century with her profound characters, astute observations and wit, adding levity to the myriad of insecurities that plague our modern world. You do have to wait to find out exactly what happened, but Day's foray into loyalty, anxiety and friendship makes it a thrilling read.

Dani/Jada's story made three of these stars happen alone. Her story just tugged so much at my heart, and I need to hear more of this. The other star is for Lor and Jo. I really enjoy their few chapters! Mac and Barrons are becoming very repetitive. I loved them in the first 5 books, but now, I just feel like Mac repeats herself over and over and rambles about the same things over and over. But, overall, I feel this book is about to lead up to something big in the next one! Or maybe it was just that cliffhanger.

Shark Tank takes some of the richest entrepreneurs known and they sit in judgement over peoples business and product ideas.
Joe Bloggs from the street presents his idea in hope a shark will invest.
Some of the biggest products of the time got a big break on Shark Tank.

It is fiercely compelling to watch people sell their passion projects. Once you start you can’t stop. I binged three season on Netflix in a matter of weeks.

My allegiances are conflicted
Another great development from this second part of the trilogy. Juliette had moments of being incredibly flaky in this book, but then I gave myself the proverbial slap around the face and reminded myself that she has had an awful childhood, prolonged captivity and is very mixed up. Adam seemed to be a more back seat character in this book and Warner made everything look triangular. Warner did seem more human and vulnerable and I'm trying to keep an open mind about him. Who knows where it's all going to end in book three. Well narrated.

Well I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett book and his stories about the discworld transport you to this amazing place.
He has a dark sense of humour that you can see throughout his books.
Wyrd sisters is one of my favourites of his Books. This is the first in a series of his books about three witches. It's funny right from the start and the complexity of his characters always amaze me.
If you like a book with good characters, funny jokes and a touch of magic then this is the books for you.
