Erika (17788 KP) rated Farenheit 451 in Books
Jun 19, 2018
This book was assigned over the summer of the 9th grade year... WOOF. Reading this was torture, analyzing it was easy, thank god. I read a lot of books, and this one never had my attention, and I think it's severely overrated. I could not drink the kool-aid on this one.
The only reason I still have my copy is because it's now worth a bit more money than I bought it for.

Brayden creates amazing characters. There is always amazing chemistry but this book hits it out of the park! I loved the banter between the characters and all their quirks. In this book Gia is the main focus just like Isabel in book one, and Autumn in book 2. I really want to just sit and drink coffee at the Cats Pajamas with this group and even weird Larry. Book 4, Hadley's turn?

I received a copy of American Royals from Random House Books for Young Readers through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this book had a great premise but was a little disappointed at the lack of history. All we got is that in this verse it is a faux pas to drink tea.
Okayyyy.
The characters are great but there's that lack of communication trope so present in ya novels.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated Royal Pains: First, Do No Harm in Books

Hank is trying to figure out why a bride to be is having spells where she doesn't know who she is, spells that leave her with holes in her memory. Meanwhile, a new health drink seems to have dire consequences. I enjoyed the story, although the portrayal of Evan bothered me. Still, a fun tie in.

Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated AC/DC: Album by Album in Books
Apr 10, 2018
A comprehensive guide to AC/DC, the author Martin Popoff has succeeded in producing yet another work that is both engaging to the occasional listener of the group as well as the more hardened fan. Accompanied with images from throughout the group's long history, there is plenty to look at and read as well as having on your shelf or coffee table to reference during those late night "discussions" with friends over a drink or three. Recommended for the fan.

Story
Action
Funny
Dark but with a twisted sense of humour
After seeing a trailer on netflix (in the UK) it sold it for me on the get go, this show is dark, twisted, funny, drink and drug fueled action.
One scene that stands out is when the main protagonist is playing cards and happy is around, i wont spoil it but when you get there, you will be dying with laughter.

MissCagey (2652 KP) rated Joy (2015) in Movies

I recorded this off Film 4, where the description stated it was about a lady that had made a significant invention. I was intrigued and wondered what life-changing, state-of-the-art object she had created. I nearly spat my drink out when it was revealed to be a mop but I was curious to see what happened to Joy and her mop. As you can imagine this is no action and adventure movie but it's a true story and kind of interesting.

Who Wrote This?
Contains spoilers, click to show
Full disclosure, I wasn't a huge GoT fan to begin with, but this season takes the cake for the amount of nonsense it expected the viewer to accept without question. The show is ahead of the books at this point, so its no longer based on George RR Martin's books and it shows.
From this point on, I will be spoiling the events of the season, so if you haven't seen it and you care about spoilers, look away now.
If you are looking for a drinking game to play this season, drink every time Danyres is an entitled brat, drink every time Bran says something pretentious, drink every time John mentions the white walkers and drink when Tyrion screws up and I guarantee you that you won't be able to stand up by the end of the season.
There were two things in particular that got under my skin this season. First of all Littlefinger, (the supposed 'smartest character in the show,') got outsmarted by Arya and Sansa? Are you kidding? His death was so unsatisfying and ridiculous and in past seasons that character would have never have been stupid enough to get himself into that situation without working out a way to get himself away with his life.
The second thing is Bran. You can't have an all knowing character that doesn't know things. How is it that Sam has to be the one to tell Bran about John's parents being married when he was born? I've heard the excuse made that Bran has to choose to go to a period in history in order to see what happened at that time, but we have seen that he was back there last season when John was born in that tower! Also, why didn't he inform his brother that the Night King had a dragon, as soon as it happened? I realise that Bran is in Winterfell and John is with Danyres, but in the last episode, John sends Bran a note via carrier pigeon, so why couldn't he have sent one to John? Why didn't Bran see that Cersei was going to betray John and Danyres? If in the next season John and Dany are surprised when Cersei doesn't back them, then the writing for this show has well and truly fell off a cliff.
