I love a character driven novel, and Pineapple Street is packed full of interesting people.
The Stockton family are amongst the 1 Percenters - they’re unimaginably wealthy and live in a New York inhabited by few, very wealthy people. Pineapple Street looks at some of the issues that these very wealthy people face.

Tilda and Chip have 3 children: Darley, the eldest, decides to sign her money over to her children rather than have her husband, Malcolm, sign a prenup. This doesn’t seem to be an important decision with them both having good jobs. Things get a little tighter financially when Darley gives up her job at Goldman Sachs to be with her two young children, and even more so when Malcolm loses his job.

Cord, the middle child, finds it hard to cut the family ties even when he marries Sasha. She does sign the prenup, and has to live in Cords family house (his parents do however, move out) with all of his parents furniture still in it - and his younger sisters bedroom still intact.

Georgiana, the youngest, has a difficult relationship with the family money, and struggles when she enters into an affair with a completely unsuitable man.

All of the younger Stocktons start to look at their lives with a critical eye, and changer are afoot.

I loved this fun read about family, money, class, and with the story told from the points of view of the women - a woman’s place in this affluent world.

Battle Chasers is a great game and great RPG. I love the rich characters and their background. The art style makes this whole experience beautiful. The story,I have not completed it yet, has captured me and I can’t wait to see where it goes

I love my Kindle Fire and use it more than my laptop. I am an avid reader but don't have a large space to store paperback and hardback books. The Kindle app allows me to download and purchase books, categorize them, organize them, and have several started books at once all in one place. Ebooks are cheaper than paperbacks which allows me to feed my addiction without having to spend a lot of money.

Sad Ben.
Just finished. An ok action movie if you like the sort. 5 ex members of the special forces willing to take down a Narcos boss and Rob his money. I didn't have high expectations for this movie so I enjoyed it enough. The story is weak but does what it needs to do. The cast is all right.

I'm currently level 45 and I adore this game! It is a bit repetetive but I don't mind.

The graphics are adorable, and they've been releasing more animals and doing fun events. Recently, clothes crafting and gardens were added, which made the game even better!


It's easy to play without spending any money. Overall I think this is a very cute, fun game and I plan on playing it for a long time.

Michael tries to help a reformed gang leader turned priest escape his past when his former gang tries to use him to launder money and hide other activities. The characters are pitch perfect and the plot feels like something from the show itself. A great read whether you are a fan of the show or not.

the game that never lets you down
I couldn't wait for this to be released, as i have played them all, and fall out 4 never let me down once, from the changing your features until the end, the story captivated and drew me in. and just because i clocked the game, it didn't stop there, i found my self making new towns and doing a lot of side quests, definitely value for money as always.
