Donna C (199 KP) rated Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster in Podcasts
Apr 14, 2019 (Updated Apr 14, 2019)
Love it
I love this podcast. Ed and James are quite the foodies. They’ve both travelled a lot and visited a lot of different restaurants around the world. I also like the fact that Ed doesn’t mind talking about his type 1 diabetes, and he also doesn’t let it limit his culinary choices. (Refreshing for fellow type 1s like me!).
As for their guests - they are generally fellow comedians but not necessarily. They are asked what their dream meal would be and why. There are some surprising choices. The funniest for me so far has been Victoria Coren-Mitchell. Not what I expected at all ?.

Snoozefest
I rented this movie with high expectations because of my love for both Dwayne Johnson and Neve Campbell and I guess it's true what they say. Every actor does one bad movie in their career. For Dwayne Johnson Skyscraper is it. I felt this movie would keep me on the edge of my seat but the plot fell short for me and it shouldve made me feel for these characters but there was something lacking and honestly it didnt suck me in and I could've cared less if the family survived or not in the end. Def not my favorite
starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Hive (Species Intervention #6609, #4) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I enjoyed this one a lot. I loved seeing what became of netty, baby and wil even though they seem very bitter and angry. They also appear to love the animals more then anything so nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed seeing where everyone is going. I feel bad for that one dude's family...the grandma was just trying to help and get them to be a family again and now they've lost almost everything and can't get past the bad guy. The hive is amazing and i love the elephants. The other characters are adding a lot of new plots and twists. Can't wait to read the next one :)
starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Operation Sex Kitten (San Diego Social Scene, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I enjoyed the older guy/younger girl characters.. I enjoyed the writing and the storyline. There was a lot of sexyness in this story. There was a lot of happiness and sadness. The characters were relatable and made me smile. For the most part it was a very light read. It had a bit of angst but not much so it was a nice break from the more hardcore stories. It wasn't all sex which was also nice. I enjoyed the sex along with the romance. I love how they grow together even though he is older but he grows with her. It was wonderful

I surprisingly enjoyed this book. I have tried reading one of Wells' books before and just couldn't get into it. This one shocked me. There are a lot of really cool theories about the future of the world with a great about of creepiness in it. I would recommend this to people who only have a short amount of time to read a book because this is only really 71 pages of novel, the rest are essays. The characters, though they did not really do much, were all pretty interesting. Look out for the light imagery throughout the novel, because there is a lot!
Connie (244 KP) rated Telegram Messenger in Apps
Jun 14, 2018
I like Telegram a lot because it's useable around the world for no charge. You can send voice messages, text messages and pictures to people for literally nothing. There are a lot of bots that you can interact with; I can play Werewolf, Taboo or Spy with people everywhere any time I want.
Additionally, it's easy to create your own chat or group and doesn't cost a thing. I use it for role-playing and D & D every day, and intend to continue doing so.
You can also have your own sticker packs created (like emojis) or steal ones that you like from others!

Earn diamonds by playing (4 more)
Earn diamonds watching ads
Immersive stories
Lot of choices
Progressive characters
Great Game
This is one of my favorite games. It's so addictive. The choices that you make really affect the story so you can play through the same story multiple times and still enjoy it. They have a pretty good variety of stories now and they update a lot of them pretty regularly. One of the things I really love is they have really diverse characters and some really immersive stories. You can earn diamonds for the diamond choices, and you get passes fairly often. 10/10 highly recommend this game.

Ask for and give recommendations
This is a newer app from Barnes & Noble. I am enjoying it and getting a lot of use out if it. I have been able to get a lot if good book recommendations, and I love the ability to give out recommendations for people looking for their next read. Questions are not limited to giving /receiving recommendations, some questions can be fun and out of curiosity type formats. There are questions about anything that deals with books- from how to choose your next book, to what book is physically closest to you at the moment, etc.
Will Gray (2 KP) rated Xanathar's Guide to Everything (Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition) in Tabletop Games

Expanded spell list is extremely useful (1 more)
Expanded character options add a lot
Great addition to 5e
This expansion is a perfect example of how to make an tabletop expansion. It takes the great system that was already established in the PHB and adds multiple extra layers of goodness to the game. The spells list is really great. It has a lot of super unique and versitile spells. Personally I find the names list to be kind of dull and not very impressive, but it's a small nitpick that takes very little away from the overall great quality of the book.

Good but nothing special
This is one of those books that is enjoyable enough to read and good enough to keep you reading until the end, but ultimately disappointing and unmemorable.
It’s written well, but the plot isn’t particularly unique and is quite predictable. There also isn’t really a lot of things that actually happen. Peggy as a main character starts off endearing but soon becomes vexing and, unsurprisingly, a little too childish which doesn’t come across well. The ending itself is fairly frustrating and there’s a quite a lot of ambiguity as to what really happened. This whole book was just very underwhelming and quite forgettable.
