Gail (4 KP) rated Waiting for Tuesday (Suspicious Hearts, #2) in Books
Jun 4, 2018
I hate boring stories happy that this wasn’t one. Tuesday didn’t want wild nights or one night stands. She needs stability and forever. Then she meets John and all that is over. How could this hot guy want her and be faithful. John was awesome he was very loving and patient. His commitment to Tuesday is beautiful. For the simple fact that he didn’t know if he could do relationships. She wanted nothing to do with him so she kept pushing. Well John wanted the complete opposite so he kept pulling until she gave in. When she needs some remodeling done she is shocked that John was there. When things get hot they both finally get what they want each other. A good read for someone looking for light and sweet.
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Everything That Rises Must Converge in Books

I really don't know what to think about this collection of short stories. This is the first book by Flannery O'Connor that I have ever read and I just don't know.
These short stories are full of cynicism. I have a feeling that Flannery O'Connor and I would probably get along due to our cynical natures. I enjoyed the book yet I have been left wanting a lot more. I'm not usually a fan of short stories because I want more. I hate how disjointed they are and I tend to just want a novella or novel instead.
Some of the stories I loved and others I just wasn't fully impressed with. All in all, I'm glad that I read this book but I probably will not read anything else by Flannery O'Connor.

Nadya R (9 KP) rated A Paris Apartment in Books
Jul 2, 2018
At first sign I knew that I should read this book. The story is so familiar with "Sarah's key'story so I couldn't passed by. It's so easy to read and I didn't even realised when I turned over the half of the book. I had feeling that I know what is going to happen - Marthe is April's grand-grandmother, but I was wrong and this satisfied me, because I hate books with predictable ending. Although this feeling follow me through the hole book I really enjoyed it. This novel brings you to sunny Paris in Belle epoque mixed with XXI century routine. The best thing this book can offer is curiosity. It made me open Google and search for more information about Marthe, Giovanni Boldini, Victor Hugo and other characters from Beautiful epoch's high society.
Joni Thomas (33 KP) rated Netflix in Apps
Aug 24, 2018
I have a love-hate relationship with Netflix. I love that they change up their offerings so often, there is always something new. But, and maybe it's just me, there is such as a thing as TOO many options. I can scroll through all the options endlessly and never be able to decide what to watch.
The way it pops up to ask if you are still watching is definitely annoying, especially on cleaning days when I just want to throw the tv on for the kids and get cleaning done without them up my butt and they come to get me after three episodes of their shows and tell me something is wrong with the tv. I wish Netflix gave the option to turn that setting off.

David McK (3600 KP) rated The Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Hmmm .... This opens with The Hulk / Bruce Banner exiled from Earth on a space-craft that is meant to deposit him on a remote and uninhabited planet, before that craft is pulled off-course and through a mysterious wormhole (are there any other kinds?) to a distant - and inhabited - planet.
What follows is, essentially, an off-world retelling of Spartacus, with The Hulk first captured by Imperials, sent to fight in the Arena's, then escaping and leading a revolt (even if, unlike Spartacus this one is successful).
Yes, it has plenty of explosions and battles, but (I hate to say), the entire thing is somewhat bland; never really drawing me in to the story and with no real hook - this is also, very much, a story of The Hulk rather than of Bruce Banner.

Andrew Kennedy (199 KP) rated Load by Metallica in Music
Jun 23, 2019
When Load first came out I was unsure now after all these years I have grown to love it.
Opening with Ain't my Bitch it was typical high octane Metallica, 2x4 is next and then The House that Jack built, an under rated track, then come the singles Until It Sleeps, Hero of the Day and King Nothing the latter one of Kirk's finest performances.
Then Bleeding Me a track I hated at first but now absolutely adore.
Wasting My Hate and Thorn Within are outside of the formers intro very formulatic.
Next is Mama Said, a heartfelt song that some fans still have issues with.
Then Ronnie which I love.
Outlaw Torn ends the album again like Bleeding Me I started off hating it but over time I have grown to love.
