Sarah (7798 KP) created a post in Dear Smashbomb....

Nov 24, 2018  
This isn't really a Dear Smashbomb advice post, more like an opinion poll...

What are everyone's views on alcohol? Do you drink a lot/too much/not a all?

I'm intrigued to know how everyone views alcohol. For me, whilst I can't say no to a nice glass of wine (or 2) or a cocktail, I don't like to get past tipsy or merry as I don't like the feeling of not being in control of my actions.

I don't care much what other people think. I do now have the reputation of the "non drinker", but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes it is amusing to be the sober one and see others make fools of themselves. Save those photos for when you really need them! ?

I'm not a big drinker at all, I maybe have one a year. The alcohol I like is on the more expensive side, and I don't like the feeling. I'm typically the designated driver in most cases. I do attend happy hours, but always just have a cup of water. I get made fun of a little, but I know it's part of the territory. It also doesn't help to come from a family with alcohol issues (extended, not nuclear).

Ryan Reynolds starring Michael Bay movie, with Ryan as a billionaire who has faked his own death and is now leading an undercover team of vigilantes - each of whom has also faked their own death - in order to take down a brutal dictator.

As it's a Michael Bay film, you know pretty much what to expect: lots of action (choreographed, admittedly, to some nice soundtrack) but with little coherence!

At least Ryan Reynolds looks like he's having fun ...

Ooooooh!! What an ending!

Sarren, I hope they kick your arse all the way to hell and back when they finally catch up with you!

As for the everyone else. Allie, nice to have you back. Jackal, I would never have guessed. Kanin, good to see you, too. Zeke, you poor, poor, human. And Stick, you were just an arse!

It was certainly an adventure. A compelling one at that! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I loved Dex, his humour and general way of living was very fun reading. He loved to wind people up and do crazy things...LOVED him! Sloane, you certainly grew on me, especially after that little scene around half way through!

I look forward to reading more of you two! And figuring out what this new group of bad guys are after.

P.S. This also made a nice change from the usual M/M Shapeshifter Romances!

I typically don't read these sorts of novels, romance novels are typically not my thing. However, I do love a not too mushy Christmas romance on occasion, and after reading In a Holidaze, I was still in the mood for something silly.
As with every romance novel, super predictable, you could tell what was going to happen by reading the plot synopsis. It was a nice, quick read and was what I needed at the time.

Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.

And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.

Hornblower this isn't.

Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.
