"I used to be really homesick as a kid. I never had sleepovers or anything like that with my friends ever, because I would have panic attacks and wanna go home. And then I watched Up In the Air, and watching George Clooney pack his suitcase so neatly and hop on the plane and just be so organized made me wanna travel by myself and made me love hotels and stuff like that. And I just love the movie as well. It gave me the courage to travel by myself for the first time and leave home. The thing that kinda sucks is that I have a feeling that if I was to rewatch it now, it would be depressing. At the time that I watched it for the first time, it was ambitious – I wanted to travel all the time like that and I thought it was so cool. And then, as you know, the movie gets kind of dark and sad and it’s like, “What are you running from?” At the time that didn’t apply to me, but now I wonder if I would watch it back and be like, “Oh god, this is really too real.”"

"I love all of his records. Calling Out Of Context in particular was the most accessible at first - I had to re-educate my ears at the beginning though, in order to get into it. A friend of mine told me about it at uni - we were just starting Foals and I was getting more interested in pop music - or what my idea of that was - to write simpler, more emotive songs without hiding behind structures and techniques. His music is so open. When we wrote the first batch of Foals songs, we bought this second-hand Royal Mail van that was falling apart and we had one of those cassette adaptors that attached it to a Discman. It was one of those self-booked tours where there was no one there and we would get back into the van and put this record on and it lifted the spirits. It's the perfect record for a summer's day, Sunday morning - it's got a lightness and discreetness to it, I just love his voice. You can feel light within; when I listen to him, I can picture a visual scene filled with light. It's a daytime record"

More different types of buildings.
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.

Suspense, unique, brilliantly written (0 more)
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!!
