Nice little game
This is a great game, if you are an experienced player, or beginner playing with beginners. If the skill is mixed it is not so great, as the strategies needed to win a game barely vary much, letting the experienced players have the upper hand. Luckily you can still do well, as many points get awarded at the end of the game

I laughed so hard I nearly.....
I was looking for something funny, something different. Mrs Maisel tickled that spot. I laughed outloud so hard I woke my bairns up.

It's a nice story, it has drama, it has jokes, it has loveable characters. Most of all, you are routing for Mrs Maisel, who you can't help but want to see succeed. You envy her ability to say what you are thinking, you wish you were more like Mrs Maisel. Wouldn't life be an adventure then.

I won this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway and because of all the great buzz it had already I was really excited to get it. I loved the way the chapters alternated between Sadie and West and I really loved that the ending wasn’t tied up in a nice little package. It felt more realistic which I enjoyed. I would recommend this book to someone and I’ll probably pass it off to a coworker who was really interested in it once I described it.

Not lived up to the hype
Although it was a good idea, and a lot of fans were very excited about this game, I feel they added too much to the game, and over complicated it... if some of the features had been added in updates it would’ve allowed players to familiarise themselves with the mechanics of the game at a steadier pace, but despite this it is nice to have a new Harry Potter themed piece of media to enjoy

The latest entry into the Zombieland franchise brings back much of the charm of the original while adding a few layers to keep the viewer interested, and at times on the edge of your seat.

I had the fortune to be able to watch the original directly before viewing this installment and it was quite nice to have that refresher as it made it possible to catch a few of the references that I'm not sure I would have caught if it wasn't fresh in my memory.

Excellent story
Brilliant
Loved this so much, I was toe tapping and singing the whole way through. I don't think many people can say they aren't a fan on Queen, they appealed to the masses.

This film is progressive and done well despite being dramatised. It ended in a good place.

The character/people development was very good and it was nice to see an insight into the band behind the legend.

Would highly recommend, although a sad ending it lifted my spirits.

Huh.

Hardins so messed up that I gave up on him before the end. Mood swings r us. That's Hardin to a T. When he was nice; he was great, when he was not, I'd have kicked him in the balls and laughed while he fell to the floor.

I'm not going to be continuing the series. And if I did I certainly wouldn't be cheering Hessa, I'd be more of a go for Zed or better yet call Noah and beg for forgiveness.

I'm still in a bit of a rut in relation to paranormal books but I was determined to finish this, especially considering I'd been reading it for over two weeks--which is ridiculous when I think the third book in the series took me 2/3 days.

I enjoyed it the more I read and reading more of Rachel, Ivy and Jenks was nice. They get themselves into some right situations at times.

I'm not going to read any more of the series yet.
