Brilliant AR Game
So... an AR game, featuring your favourite characters from The Walking Dead tv & comics. Powered by GoogleMaps so even the street names show up! Headed up to the main high street & took out walkers in AR mode between the drunks on the street with Daryl at my side... 3 of my PoGo friends instantly downloaded this & have been glued.
Save survivors, take out outposts of hostile humans, take out waves of walkers in infestion missions.
Downside is out of the 4 building types everyone builds armoury to upgrade weapons & forgets everything else needs upgrading too.
This causes lots of grinding to upgrade instead

Excellent movie, best ending compared to novel
This is a great movie. They did a solid job selecting the cast (So many Walking Deads!). The dialogue and whatnot is on point. I even liked the creature effects! And, honestly, in comparison to the novel(la), the ending of The Mist movie is so much more powerful and well done.

I received a copy of River of Fire from Random House Publishing Group through Netgalley.
One of the most noticable things about this book is the compassion in which it is written.
This is all that happened before Dead Man Walking (one of my all-time favorite books.)
I am not at all religious but enjoyed it very much.

I was curious about the show because it had Tom Payne who played Jesus on Walking Dead. It has been quite interesting so far. It definitely has some dark episodes that remind me a bit of another show I enjoyed, Hannibal. There is some humor in there as well. The premise is interesting and the cast is pretty good.

Essential app, but still needs a little work
This is the most important app on my phone - especially for walking routes and using public transport. My only gripe is the fact it still lacks in terms of disability access - a general issue across the UK. So as a 'local guide' I've begun manually uploading the information.
While walking, I tend to have Google Maps reciting the directions to me through my ear phones. A lot of the time it stops and I keep wondering if the app has switched off. No doubt, it beats all competition in terms of navigation, but it needs to update quicker. And Google needs to stop telling me to 'add an image' to places. I'm not taking a picture of a shop like a weirdo.

The third entry in Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan books, in which she continues to flesh out the world she first created in ""Dead Witch Walking"", with the addition of several new characters and further hints about the motivations of some (one on particular) of the more enigmatic established characters.
It also helps to have read both "Dead Witch Walking" and "The Good, the Bad and the Undead" before starting this one, as it makes references to events in those books. As before, however, the novel also seeems to meander along quite a bit before getting to the point: it's almost as if Harrison is more interested in her characters than in her plot. While, for me, that can be annoying (get to the point already!), your mileage may vary ...

A walking guidebook for central Baltimore
So this is a series of walking tours of Baltimore. I’ve only been on two of these walks so far, but I plan to take many more of them. It’s just been SO. HOT. And I’m not a person who likes walking much to begin with! But Pokemon Go makes walking a lot more fun. (Go Team Mystic!) That little bit of motivation of “well, I’ll walk to that Pokestop. Alright, there’s another Pokestop two blocks away, I can make it to that one. Maybe a little further to that next Pokestop. OOoo there’s a Tangela nearby!” It makes it just enough fun that I walk a lot more before I’ve even realized it..
Walking Baltimore gives me general guides for walks so I’m not just wandering Pokestop to Pokestop until I get lost! It has very detailed instructions – turn left at this corner, cross the street here so you can see this monument, then look up at the architecture in front of you – it’s really well done. My only wish is that there was an appendix that rated the walks in order of difficulty – each walk has a rating, from easy to moderate to strenuous – but there’s no way to see all of the difficulties side by side. With 33 walks all over Baltimore, with all levels of difficulty and lengths, there’s definitely something here for everyone, and the history and points of interest covered by the walks are fascinating.
The two that I’ve actually walked are half of #4, Inner Harbor Promenade, and #11, The Civil War Trail: Path of the War’s First Bloodshed. Both are mostly on the Inner Harbor, where my husband works, so I hitched a ride down with him, walked, and caught Pokemon until he got off work and we came home. (We live outside Baltimore City limits.) I’d been down in the area many times, but had no idea the Civil War’s first bloodshed occurred when a mob waylaid Union troops travelling through Baltimore! There are medallions laid in the sidewalks commemorating some of the events of the Civil War march, and most of those are Pokestops too.
Currently I have this book out from the library, but I think this is one I’ll be adding to my personal library soon. I want the walking guides! The author has also written 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Baltimore and Best in Tent Camping: Maryland. So he knows his stuff.

Blind mechanic Cadence Moran is walking home from work one night when she "witnesses" a murder. Trying to help the police only attracts the killer's attention. I found the story frustratingly slow for a thriller and the ending completely unbelievable.
