school shooting in Ya
Honestly if your going to read a YA book involving a school shooting read Hate List by Jennifer Brown.
I didn't connect with Sam and there was a lot of things both schools did after the event that just wouldn't happen school have certain rules with dealing with event and i just couldn't get into this book. I do applaude anyone who takes on such a difficult subject matter however more people should be willing to try writing about the difficult things in life to help people try to understand.

Cute love stort
I love anything by Tim Burton, but the music and story in this movie has me swooning everytime. I am all for a good love story, but it definitely was different than most love stories out there. I couldn't help but fall in love with it. Not to mention the music will have you choking up a bit with emotion. With Burton's animating style and wonderful way to tell a story, there is no way you can absolutely hate it.
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Make Me Beg (Men of Gold Mountain, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is a love/hate romance story. I just couldn't put this book down till I'd finished the last page. The chemistry between the characters is set the pages alight hot. The background story of these characters is fantastic. These book can be read as stand alone. This book has a fantastic ending. You are always in for a fantastic read with this author. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Great Acting
I hate the story (2 more)
Depressing situations
humor is too dark
Everyone loves this show, except me.
I found that after watching an episode I wanted to curl up into a ball and just hug my wife and family and be thankful it's not me. But it kept leaving me depressed after watching it. I might just be too sensitive to the emotional turmoil of it. managed to get 3/4 of the way through the season, and had to stop... I'm happier for it.

Simple (3 more)
Elegant
Easy to learn and teach
Good with larger player counts
Good Simple quick game for large groups. normally i hate player elimination but for a 10 minute game it's ok.
this is a fun little filler game, perfect if everyone is sitting around talking and not really paying attention or don't want to pay close attention. The object is to lay down tiles and follow the path trying to keep your pawn alive as long as possible, and out last everyone else. that's it, that is the game.

I went into this book with high expectations from all the hype and the synopsis sounded awesome. I didn’t love it but I also didn’t hate it. It was a bit slow getting into it and some parts got a little confusing throughout the book but it also had a good chunk of parts that had me not wanting to put the book down just because I wanted to see how certain parts played out. It is not a book I will likely read again but now I have read it.

Amazing WWII story (2 more)
Full of suspense
Did not expect ending
Kristin Hannah has truly captured the chaotic and no-so-perfect sister relationship. Being the oldest of three girls I can relate to this love/hate relationship between the two sisters. How life can lead everyone in different roads but at the end family is the one thing that will always bring you back. No matter what happens family will disappoint, bring you down, and build you up, all at the same time. Cannot wait to read more books by this author.

Do you hate your mother-in-law? You'll LOVE her after this.
Though this book didn't really feel like a "psychological thriller," but rather more of a drama, I definitely enjoyed it. There were several points at which I actually said out loud "oh, come on!" - so I'm going to agree with another reviewer in that it might be better if you suspend disbelief a bit before going into this.
I did NOT see that twist coming! It was worth it for that alone, in my opinion.
Thank you, Minotaur Books, for the ARE!

Oh, Sandra Brown, you never disappoint!
There's a reason Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors, and Tailspin just cements her more solidly on that list. Another fast-paced ride into suspense (and romance!). Great story - well-researched and believable. I found the aviation aspect very interesting. Terrific characters that will elicit a wide range of emotions from the reader, from "OMG I hate her, she's a terrible person" to "Aww, I really hope things work out for him." I enjoyed this one from beginning to end.

Sigh. I'm now grieving the loss of dear friends, left with only memories. No more new adventures to look forward too. I devoured this trilogy and now I wish I'd paced myself because they're all finished and I'm left empty. As much as I love a good book, a book that sucks me in and makes me feel so much a part of the magic, I hate that last page where I know it's goodbye. Thank you, Cynthia Hand, for a wonderful trilogy that I know I will relive over and over.
