A better version of Alhambra in my opinion.
I love this version, and with Alhambra getting bulky with all the expansions. which make the game better but also make it longer. We play this version so much more than the rest. It's only one game, but you can if you want to, combine it with the basic Alhambra (I've not tried that)

 What i like most is the dual sided tiles, where you can pay a little more to flip it. which makes for much deeper strategy with finding the value of the tile you you versus your opponent. the depth doubles for me. Which I LOVE.

If you even like Alhambra, try this one. If you've never played either, try Alhambra first.

It’s not as good as all the variations of expansions. But it is great as a single.

I had never actually heard of Into the Woods until the movie so I wasn't really sure what to expect when it came to it and I can't judge it by it comparison to the play.

I really liked the first half of the movie it was fun with catchy as heck music and since I have and will always love fairytales I was super excited watching it... But then it got to the halfway point and dear brother's Grimm... IT JUST KEPT GOING AND GOING AND GOING. Seriously one of the reasons I love fairytales so much is that they aren't the longest but damn this movie just drag on then I thought it was over but nope. So I kind of just zoned out near the end.

Captivating, has me gripping the edge of my seat
The way this manga is written really captivated me in a way that I haven’t felt in years. It has so many twists and turns and this is just the first book. Be prepared for heartbreak, rage, humour and love all wrapped up in 192 pages.
Be warned though... it is so good you will not ever want to stop reading. You will crave more and you will never be able to guess what happen and next as it’s so unpredictable that it’s amazing to read. I love this series so much, I read so many books and this has made me crave the next volume so much that I keep refreshing the page hoping the release dates are sooner!

This was my first book by Max Henry but I've clearly been hooked!? LOVED this book! Not your typical love story... with everything from MC bikers to Cuban drug lords and murder. A dark read, with a few scenes that were tough to read.. abuse, pain, loss... so much packed into this story. There is also a beautiful love story in there... King comes from a good place, educated and with a loving hard-working family. He and Elena clearly have an intense connection and he wants nothing more than to save her without destroying his place in his MC. Watching the two of them struggle through was torture and that cliffhanger ending!? Oh, I will SURELY be back for the rest of this story - can't wait!! Highly recommended!!

Album Favorite

"I just love this album and I love the history behind it. I don’t think it’s cheesy, I think it’s muso and I really like muso music. The origins of it, the way they found Roberta when she was young and naïve, and they realised that the only way to really capture her was to create an environment that she was used to, so they recorded it all in a church, to give her a sense of the places that she sang in when she was young. And you get that on this album, it’s fucking amazing. There’s some unbelievable songwriting. I might have first heard it when I was really young, there was always this estuary of weird and exciting people coming through this house, playing different music."

For the first half of this, I was really into it. I liked the love triangle aspect and I understood it. I couldn't figure out how Dana fit into it though, I just assumed she was some crazy ex-girlfriend stalker person - I was very wrong

I have to say I liked both Paul and Stewart, though for different reasons. Paul is very laid back while Stewart is very intense, but both are great guys.

It all seemed to fall apart for me after the half way point. I loved the revelation that occurred, I just cant say I understood what happened afterwards. I expected more of a fight and there wasn't one, which disappointed me a bit.

They both claim to love her so why give her up so easily?
I didn't get it.
