Erika (17788 KP) rated Silver Linings Playbook (2012) in Movies
Mar 9, 2018 (Updated Mar 9, 2018)
This movie did not impress me at all, and JLaw definitely didn't deserve the Oscar for this cluster (she should have won for Winter's Bone). The portrayal of mental illness was shiesty, in my opinion. Bradley Cooper was ok, but not his best.
Writing this has reminded me that I need to toss the dvd in my sell pile to go to half price books.

Oh, My!!
Erotically Fabulous.
Loyal fans of Tiffany Reisz will love The Red.
Tiffany is brave and fearless in her writing and some of the acts in a couple of the scenes very rarely appear in other erotica novels, that said, some people reading Tiffany's work for the first time may feel a little uncomfortable. Me, I lapped it up, devoured it and I want more!

It was really difficult for me to settle on a rating for this book, y'all. The twist was clever, granted, but I kind of figured it out in the first book. And I didn't think the writing dealt with it consistently. But it was a fast read, and I'm sure I'm older than the target audience, so maybe I'm not the best person to be judging.

This was a really cute novel. I really enjoyed reading it. It was predictable but that is to be expected when a novel is based off of a fairy tale. I found myself engrossed in this novel. It was a nice escape from reality. I will definitely look into reading more novels by this author. The writing was spectacular, and it was very imaginative.

I would give this 5 stars for the pictures and 2 stars for the writing.
I was really looking forward to reading this book. It looks simply adorable. I absolutely loved the pictures but the stories lacked a lot. The stories were poorly written and honestly, used the term "friendship" very loosely. I think that this had potential but I was not very impressed.

Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated City of Djinns: A Year In Delhi in Books
Aug 13, 2018
This is a very different kind of travel writing. Not only is there experience, but there is also a lot of history and so much can be learnt about the colonisation of India by the British and what happened after the British left. There are moments when experiences tug of your heartstrings, make you mad and make you happy. It's written very well, and highly recommended.

Barely there entertainment value
The writing is terrible - it sounds like she writes the same sentence structure over and over again...and consults a thesaurus every other sentence when it just isn't necessary. It's also a disgrace to the BDSM community as it is not an accurate depiction of the lifestyle at all. That said, it does have a "one chapter before bed" entertainment value....barely.
Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated The Other Mother in Books

Hands down this was the best Giveaway I’ve won from Goodreads. Goodman’s writing allows you to lose yourself in the characters from the very first chapter. I had a hard time putting the book down once I picked it up. I was questioning my own sense of truth as I read more and more trying to decide what was real and what wasn’t. I loved this.
