Excellent materials, back lit keyboard for gaming in the dark, good price, easy to install (wired) (0 more)

Great Heavy Duty Gaming Keyboard

I recently had a gaming base unit and decided I needed a decent gaming keyboard to go with it. I bought this not knowing what to expect as I had never heard of the name. Its very impressive and with the back lit keys makes it ideal for gaming. Metal throughout means its a lot more durable than most plastic ones. A good range of keys and simple user interface, comfortable wrist support too. All in all very good value and excellent quality.

High-tension plot line that keeps you guessing. (0 more)

There is a lot that isn't quite explained, that you really want to know more about to understand everything (0 more)

Set on a distant planetoid, in use as a penal colony for the worst type of criminals in the Empire.

Sent on a mission that is near enough a death sentence, Ana Bolo hunts for clues to the fate of a secret project. But, as always with these things, everything is not as it seems, in fact, it's worse...

And then they discover their hero is not all that he seems, he's so much more, and so much more dangerous than anyone ever imagined.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Buried: An Archaeology of the Egyptian Revolution in Books

I wasn't sure what to expect of this book. Was it a memoir of the author? A history of the Arab Spring? A history of archaeology in Egypt?
Well, it was all of the above, and I'm not sure I dug it. I minored in archaeology, so that was the main reason I read it. I knew somewhat of the Geo-political situation in that area of the world, but I avoid a lot of current events.
Don't get me wrong, Hessler is a great writer. However, I didn't sign up for a memoir.
It was an interesting mesh of all three subjects, I'm not sure it strictly worked.

Lived up to the hype!

So I wanted to see what all the hype was about and it was free on amazon kindle!
I really enjoyed this! It had a great pace, interesting characters and the story is a bit different from the usual YA. I used to read a lot of YA but found them getting a bit "samey" so I was dubious at first thinking that this would be your typical rom-com style, but it really wasn't.
I did guess the ending but I was enjoying the read so much that it didn't bother me that I had an idea of what was coming 😊
