A bit of a life/ money saver!
This app has saved me from buying duplicate books on several occasions. I read a lot of books, and some are harder to remember than others! I like seeing what other people are reading too, which does add to my ‘want to read’ list quite significantly, as do the recommendations. Ah well, there are far worse things that I could be spending my time and money on!!

This book was assigned over the summer of the 9th grade year... WOOF. Reading this was torture, analyzing it was easy, thank god. I read a lot of books, and this one never had my attention, and I think it's severely overrated. I could not drink the kool-aid on this one.
The only reason I still have my copy is because it's now worth a bit more money than I bought it for.

And I thought my family was twisted!

Andrews really puts you into the story and into the mind of Cathy. But there is a LOT of mature content in this book! Wow! Between rape, incest, child abuse, and psychological trauma, you'd think it would be a depressing experience but you're rooting for the kids the entire time! But take it from me...draw out a family tree to keep track of who is who.

If you can get in to Stardew Valley, you will likely spend hundreds of hours in it. You would be hard-pressed to find a game that has a better value proposition.

It is a lot like Animal Crossing, but with less focus on home decoration (although it's there), and more focus on farming. Oh, and there is combat in this one too.

I'm ashamed to say it's been years since I read a Michael Crichton novel, but what a way to jump back in! This book was better than I expected, somehow he managed to keep it interesting even though there wasn't a lot of action happening. The pacing was fast, although I thought the main character could have been a little more developed. All in all, this is a book I would definitely recommend.

Joins well with Avalon
Action cards easy the game
Good at adjusting to different group sizes

Can seem very basic as characters all equal
Very difficult to play with small groups
This was one of the go to games of my masters. It was enjoyable but ends with a lot of shouting. It can seem very basic if you have played other similar games like werewolf, mafia, and avalon

I quite enjoyed this book - it was quite exciting and it turned into quite a tangled web of awesomeness! There was a lot of drug use in the book - not that drug use is a huge deal, but sometimes I was like, wow. There was some darker parts of the book - some parts that were unexpected and I liked that.

I did not expect it to turn out the way that it did!

Now I know that Life of Pi was a major motion picture and got a lot of awards for acting. I didn't watch the full movie at the time, just a couple of clips when I was flying. At the time, it did not seem in the slight bit interesting and it definitely was not my cup of tea.

I like the storyline from this film the downside of it is that they cut out ethan's aunts that were mention alot in the book and also the cat they had but went feral also some the characters charactisics were changed from book to film I think if these changes were not made then a lot fans alike would have enjoyed it more than they did

Is there a way to turn on all notifications on a given subject, like Tabletop games, I'd love to be notified whenever someone reviews things, right now I only get to see it in my feed if I folow them, I'm missing out on a lot of great reviews, which would let me know I would want to follow them.

  Maybe when I click on Tabletop as a catagory I could see recent activity.
