graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated A Christmas Baby (Rogues Club, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
A nice close to the Rogue series, if, and I hate be redundant, a bit unoriginal. The characters were nice, there were some funny moments, and the plot was good, but it didn't touch me like other romances do. However, I did like the whole Christmas thing at the end, it was cute if rather saccharine.
One of my main problems was that this series must have the worst editors. In all four books there are missing quotation marks, sentences that aren't clear, and misspelled/or forgotten words. I would hope that these would be minimal.

After reading Setterfield's @Bellman & Black, I was excited to read this novel. I was so completely disappointed. I HATE Flowers in the Attic type crap, and I nearly stopped reading. I have no idea why the trope of incest is still used, but it's annoying and so pedestrian.
The Gothic ghost-story is what I stayed for, but, then again, anti-climactic. The whole twin thing started to grate on my nerves, I get that it was a big part of the book, but the main character doesn't have to mention it every single time she narrates.

Better than the film
I really hate how difficult I find it to separate a book and the film adaptation. Whilst I didn't love the Birdbox film, i thought it was alright, however reading this book has really made me reconsider.
The book and film plots are similar, but the book seems a lot darker and creepier. The character of Malorie is different, nicer even but I dont think she is very well developed in this. This was a good book and an interesting take on the end of the world scenario, I just wish I'd read this before watching the film.

Auburn (57 KP) rated The Boyfriend Bid in Books
Apr 10, 2019
This was in no way what I was expecting. The plot followed two people who weren't alike faking a relationship for charity. What starts as a one sided hate fest turns into something more.
I enjoyed the sweet side of the story and the fact that some prejudice the Sarah had seems to disappear the more she realizes not all people are the same. In the beginning I didn't really enjoy the fact she generalized sports players as being dumb.
Overall a sweet read that keeps you smiling throughout.
Thank you for allowing me to read an early copy on NetGalley

I urge you to read this book
As an avid book reader I like to sign up to things where you can get free books and this was one of them. To say I was hooked from the beginning would be a small understatement.
It is rich in detail and has diverse characters who inspire both love and fierce hate from the reader. There is definitely a win for the underdog and the nerd in me rejoiced.
It is a series of books which I still being written and I urge you to give it a go.

Esveida Watts (2 KP) rated Netflix in Apps
Jul 2, 2018
In all honesty, I use Netflix more than I use direct TV. When I look for new movies or shows to watch I always get on netflix. It's affordable and easy to use. My money isn't wasted on Netflix. A good selection of movies and shows are available for download but for a short limited time which I love and hate because if I'm traveling I don't want to worry that I now have to Uninstall and reinstall. But otherwise best app I use!

Interesting twist on the origins (1 more)
Good stoty
Deviated quite a bit from the comic origins (1 more)
Not up to the high standard we’ve come to enjoy from Marvel shows
Hit&miss

Okay so they avoided the fact that Cloak & Dagger got powers from bad drugs... shame as it would’ve finally left the door open for Sentry.
The story itself wasn’t that bad. Quite a few good twists, a couple of bad guys you’ll love to hate (not quite to Joffery’s level).
Just didn’t have the same kick as Netflix gives its Marvel series... that said, I did enjoy it...

I've had a facebook since 2005, when it was only for students at universities. Man, do I miss those days. I do keep my facebook after all of these years to keep in touch with some friends overseas.I do tend to hate read it, just because I enjoy laughing at people and their ridiculousness.
This app is a mess. I hated all of the permissions that it wanted, and the fact it would pull pictures out of your album and offer to post them. I deleted the app from my phone following that Cambridge Analytica mess, and I'm so glad.

Super mario blows
Contains spoilers, click to show
Super Marios Bros- begins the trend of movies based off of video games. What a start. This film is not even close the game. Mario last name is mario, what? Mario is luigi's father but also his brother? What? Instead of peach, its daisy why? Bowser favorite food is pizza. Goombas look like shit. Toad is not toad. A great cast, wasted on this shit. All of the actors who were in the film, hate the film. Lots of injuries on the set. Super mario Bros. More like super shit bros. Also daisy's father is a alien???
