Good book! Picked it up before the hype when it first came out. Read the back, it sounded good and the look of the book was appealing, so I bought it. A nice story, enjoyed it, but in my opinion....really not worth all the hype. There are much better vampire novels out there...this one is just too fluffy and Bella is very annoying!

This was George Saunders' convocation speech that he gave at Syracuse University. He speaks about kindness, and being kind throughout your lifetime. It was a nice speech, but I wasn't as moved as I thought I'd be. I think it's because I recently read Mr. Saunders' short story, Fox 8. Fox 8 was a million times more of an emotional event for me than this speech was.

Cool
I'm a fan of DC and was hoping they did this one right. I wasn't disappointed. The acting was great- everyone played their parts well. The visuals and effects were pretty amazing and the story turned out to be really well done and moved along at a nice pace. If you're a fan of comic book movies you'll definitely enjoy this one. With a watch!

Tactical gameplay
Easy set up
Nice looking playing pieces
Efficient box storage
Quick fun and for everyone
What a game! When you first play it is easy to get into, especially with a board designed for your first game which automatically levels the playing field. However, the more you play the game the more you realise just how tactical you can be when playing!

Welcome to...Palingrad
A really nice little roll-and-write style game (without dice, so less of the rolling) that lets you play at being a city planner. As many people can play as you like, it doesn't take long to complete, and it is fairly compact, so we have taken it on holiday before. Perfect for rainy afternoons, it is easily one of my favourite games

Rolling Stone's 487th greatest album of all time
This album includes "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time", which are absolute classics. There are a number of other great songs on this album which show what an amazing voice Lauper has, so full of character and emotion, most notably "When You Were Mine". A nice feel-good album for a dreary lockdown morning.

Think easier chess
I have the monochrome version and its fab. The aim of the game is to surround the queen using wother sides pieces. The game manufacture has done an easy to follow video and th game comes with clear instructions. It's one of the easiest games I've picked up in a long time.
