Have used DropBox in the past for groups where we all need to see the same document so the organiser would use DropBox. Yes it was handy but it didn't work very well on an iPad which I use on a daily basis so kept having to go to the laptop. Was glad when I didn't have to use it anymore.
  
Filled with colorful characters and excellent life lessons VeggieTales Every Day with God: 365 Daily Devos is a great addition to our daily routine. Since I have 2 boys (aged 2 and 4), I got the devotional book for boys...Shocker, I know. All the characters on the pages are the guys from VeggieTales, Bob, Larry, Junior, Larry Boy, Pa Grape, Mr. Lunt etc. Each page is labeled as Day 1, 2, 3...Instead of the dates. The devotion for the day is only one page, which is perfect for my active boys who don't like to sit still for very long. The devo starts with a title such as "It's Good to Have Good Friends" and "Jesus Loves You!" a coinciding scripture is next, the version varies depending on the verse. There are about 16 different versions of the bible used in this devotional. There is a 2-3 paragraph devo, followed by a "Thought of the Day" and "Pray Today" prayer. There are also several verses for memorization in the back of the book. The language is easy to understand and the lessons are great. From learning about spiritual gifts, God's love being real, and God's provision...to honesty, giving God your worries, being willing to forgive. There is something new every day for your kids to learn. The boys love this book and I even see my 4 year old "reading" it on his own. My 2 year old is a little young for it, but I believe this book is great for establishing the habit of daily devotions for both of the boys.
I received a free copy of VeggieTales Every Day with God: 365 Daily Devos for Boys through FlyBy Promotions in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Fantastic Game
The story is great and the game play is excellent. There are a lot of great side quests to go with the main quests. There are some cool mini game events also. Daily quests are included as well and offer good rewards like legendary weapons or rare mounts. Definitely worth playing.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.

The Awkward Yeti may very well be my favorite online comic. This newest collection will make awesome holiday presents for any of your friends that feel the same way. The daily battle between our hearts and our brains is perfectly depicted. So happy I got a chance to review this.

Pin It, To Win IT
This is one of my daily addictions. You will find me pinning items, looking for fashion for the ever changing seasons, buying items, checking out d.i.y. home creations that I could never possibly complete. I absolutely love it. Books, music, clothes, movies, television shows, its all there to be pinned at the touch of your fingers. I can't get enough.

English to Chinese has no explanations, they just start you off with learning both the symbols and words without knowing the English translations of them. Sometimes the app freezes in the middle of a lesson. (0 more)
I use the app on a daily basis to study French. Have dabbled in Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Esperanto, Welsh, and Gaelic.
  
Love in the Time of Cholera
Love in the Time of Cholera
Gabriel García Márquez | 2007 | Fiction & Poetry
7.7 (6 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"Love in the Time of Cholera is not a love story, but more a treatise on the subject of love in all its many forms. Márquez’s brilliant storytelling here is a joy, transforming the mundane realities of a long marriage into moments to be savored and relished. The intimate discoveries and daily bonds of marriage are at once thoroughly human, relatable, as well as spiritually transcendent.​"

Book Favorite

"One of my all-time Favorite Things! Mark Nepo’s collection of reflections is a year’s supply of gentle daily wake-up calls. Like most of us, he has thought a lot about the meaning of life, but because he is a poet, a philosopher, and a cancer survivor, his insights are special—and beautifully expressed. A book to be kept on the nightstand at all times."

Terrified me!
Having grown up and then by poor luck, happened to work in a building where flying objects, apparitions and things appearing in mid air was normal daily life, horror films don't scare me. This however terrified me. The worst possible form of a prison where you watch people unravel. It is absolutely genius and unique a film. Blown away.

Great mobile game.... Until you hit the top level
This has been a regular game on my phone for over a year. To start with it's great fun building your base, levelling up your defences and warriors. There are daily bases to attack as well as other players bases. You can join a task force to attack huge bases that take numerous attacks.
The down side once your troops and base are max level there is little to do. There isn't enough variety in the daily missions. The task force bases are very limited as there are only a couple you'll likely be able to beat with everyone attacking. Other bases are too easy.
I would give it a 9 to start but a 6 at the top level, so about 7.5 is fair.
