App Rating

People can't message you without you matching with them (1 more)

It's easy to block people

Having met my past 2 serious relationships on Tinder, I feel that I have to give it a good rating. Without going into details, my past relationship ended due to reasons well away from Tinder. The bonus of this app is that people cannot message you unless you have expressed an interest in them. I guess you could also say this is a downside... if you think somebody sounds like your ideal partner, you cant message them unless they too have liked you.
I think it is safe to say that these days most people are too busy to go out and people the 'traditional' way, therefore online dating is the way forward. I know many people who have successfully used this app, whatever their desired outcome may be.
Online dating definitely has its drawbacks... but then does traditional dating not?

Lindsay (1717 KP) rated Summer on Blossom Street (Blossom Street, #6) in Books

Feb 15, 2018

My thought were sweet. I really enjoyed this book. I love how it ends and I am really glad for what happens to some of the woman in the book. You get see how the friendship develop and Relationships are tested though out the book. How friends can help and see the understanding. You get to see how part of the adoption take place and how thing can be tested with out knowing can happen unexpected. Love can happen though strange whys. Never did I expect what would happen at the end of the book.

The Author did a wonderful job with the character and matching them up but doing in a way that would happen natural to find out how it all happen. It was nice reading about them all and not confuse me while reading it. I will want to read books 1-5 understand completely soon though. I am going to be reading 5 "Twenty Wishes now."

the_mad_meeple (55 KP) rated Orchard: A 9 Card Solitaire Game in Tabletop Games

Feb 25, 2020 (Updated Feb 25, 2020)

Great price (2 more)

Solo play

Pocket sized - great for when on the go.

Possibly difficult to get hold of a copy while kickstarter orders are fulfilled. (0 more)

This is one of my freshly backed kickstarters and I am delighted with it. The simple concept of placing cards and growing apples is brilliant.
While it is possible to play mulitplayer rules, Orchard is played solo with players dividing the deck in to two sets of 9 (each game uses 9 cards). Starting with one card on the table the player draws two cards and chooses one to play, matching the colours on previously laid card. An ingenius mechanic, the choice of where to play your card in order to gain the most points, is challenging and frustrating in equal measure.
Pocket sized and playable in 10 minutes, this is an excellent solo game for anyone in the go. Can't recommend it highly enough at its low cost price.
