Milleen (47 KP) rated Sometimes I Lie in Books
Nov 14, 2018
One of the most intriguing beginnings evolve into one of those psychological mind-twisting books that divides readers. The literary equivalent to marmite, you will either love it or hate it! There are an awful lot of novels like this on the market but Feeney has a fresh style and creates characters and backgrounds that are believable, even if the narrative is hard to navigate at times. I admit, I had to re-read the ending. I wouldn’t want to outline anything here that would spoil the story so I will just recommend it wholeheartedly, just don’t blame me if you read it twice.

A year later still going
I've had this game for a couple of years. Love designing my garden and the different challenges you can join. The levels are sometimes really difficult and others super easy.
I will fade in and out of playing it a lot of the time, but will always return to it.
The flower challenge can be annoying as you have to use your unlimited time when you get it and I end up wasting half of it due to life getting in the way. Damn being an adult.

I love this app. I always have. It’s especially amazing if you’re a creative person - there are a lot of DIY ideas on here - whether that be self DIY (hair, makeup, nails) or actual DIY (build a bookcase). Other than that there’s pretty much anything you can think of, if it’s not there- add it! Use a link or screenshot it and add it to one of your public boards and everyone will be able to see it. 100% recommend.

Fantastic
I have been playing AOS for a year now and i love it. The rules are simple and easy to follow and there's an element in the hobby for everyone from minature building, terrain creating, minature painting and then the actual war gaming that comes in many different forms suited to how you would like to play.
The company is great a bringing new things out regularly, listening to and engaging with their customers.
The only downside is that it's quite addictive and you end up sinking a lot of money in it. I have four armies already...oops!

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Goliath (Leviathan, #3) in Books
Jan 2, 2019
Goliath brought an epic conclusion to the Leviathan Trilogy. I read through this book quicker than the others (and that is saying a lot). As the crew of the Leviathan continue their mission, the action and adventure increases! Tensions rise as secrets long kept come into the light. Alek wants to do the right thing, but is his judgement clouded? If you are looking for something new to read, this trilogy is where it is at! Watching Alek and Deryn learn, grow and mature along this journey was a delight. This is a great story and one that I look forward to revisiting in the future.
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Scars and silks 2 (The calvetti family #7) in Books
Jan 6, 2019
fab read
This is the second part in this set but the seventh part in this series by this authjor. These books need to be read in order to fully understand the story between the characters. This book is full of twists and turns, surprises, drama, lies, betrayal and loads of suspense. amazing well written characters just like the first book. This is a short read but the author has packed a lot into the pages. I can't wait to read more in this set and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended set
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Kate (355 KP) rated Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation) in Tech
Jan 10, 2019
I am going to say its good because a lot of people I know have one in the house and will speak to it and have music played and questions asked, although the novelty does wear off and it is just as quick to look things up. But being a sci-fi fan I will not allow one in the house because one day all these things might come true and AI and robots are starting to take over every day tasks. I also don't like the way it is continually listening and storing records, so sorry no don't like the idea of it.
Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated milk and honey in Books
Dec 10, 2018
All in all, this was an easy read but I was hoping to feel more as I read it. I found I only really identified with a handful of the poems and felt like many of the shorter ones were there as page filler to make the book seem longer. I really enjoyed all the artwork, however, and I'll probably end up reading her next book to see how her writing has evolved. I just ended up feeling like this sort of fell short of the hype that was created around it, however, I understood why a lot of women could identify with the poems.
David McK (3731 KP) rated Hornblower and the Atropos in Books
Jan 30, 2019
"Battle, Storm, Shipwreck, Disease - what were the chances he would never come back again?"
Chronologically the 5th entry in CS Foresters (probably) most famous creation, this is also the 8th entry by publication date, and the 1st entry in the compilation 'Captain Hornblowe R.N."
Set early during his career - he's only just taken up command - this novel covers a lot of ground (both literally and figuratively), starting with Hornblower and Maria making their way down to Portsmouth, his command of Nelson's water-borne funeral procession and then the cruise of his 22-gun sloop 'The Atropos' into the Mediterranean, and the various myriad circumstances that befall said cruise!

Sarah (7800 KP) rated Mortal Engines (The Hungry City Chronicles, #1) in Books

Entertaining but flawed
Unusually, this is a book that I’d rate about on par with the film adaptation. As with the film, this is an entertaining read and fairly well written. The basic plot is the same although there have been a few tweaks made for the film - some better, some worse. I much prefer the ending in the book to the film, it’s a little more depressing and a lot less Hollywood (unsurprisingly). I don’t really have much to say about this book, it’s a quick read and quite good, and plods along at a fairly decent rate, it’s just nothing massively special.
