Book Rating
This book was recommended to me by a friend. I felt that the writing was sloppy at times (or maybe just a bit too casual for my tastes, as the previous book I finished was by CS Lewis), but still a fun read that doesn't drag the way a lot of fantasy novels do.
  
Faces Places (2017)
Faces Places (2017)
2017 | Documentary
The easygoing, episodic structure of their journey gives “Faces Places” a deceptively casual air. The film works just fine as an anthology of amiable encounters and improvised collaborations.

It is so great!
Nintendo has really done it this time. I was only going to play for an hour the first time and just couldn't put it down. Fun for all ages. Takes me back to the Mario games when I was a kid. Highly recommended for anyone including only casual gamers to the hardcore game nerd.

Rolling Stone's 383rd greatest album of all time
This album is proof of Talking Heads' quality - I don't recognise any of the songs (except "Take Me to the River") but really enjoyed the album. Their sound, similar to Roxy Music is so distinctive and the songwriting so strong that even a casual listener like me can enjoy it on a first listen.

Lots of shuffling required between games to even out resources (0 more)
This game is easy to learn, but hard to master. I've found it best not to plan too far in advance as the board changes so rapidly. Love playing with people who are experienced gamers as well as more casual friends. Definitely one to pull out due to massive replay ability!

I could not finish this book. I hated everyone except the dog. I found the casual talk of rape and pedophilia disgusting. Even the consensual sex acts often started with the protagonist peeping on an unknowing female lead. I understand that it is horror but it wasn't scary to me. There was no suspense, no chills, no one I wanted to remain unscathed from the mysteries of the canyon.
