Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Marmalade Martini in Books
Feb 20, 2018
An excellent debut novel. The story had a nice flow and the characters were very believable. I really enjoyed the way the story developed with some twists and turns just like in real life. Jamie is a little like all of us, or if you are one of those perfect people you have a friend like her. She deserves to have good things happen to her and you are overjoyed when it does. You also want to punch anyone who mistreats her. I hope to see a follow up novel soon.

I feel kind of bad for Crimson Peak, for one, it was marketed completely wrong. Universal marketed it as though it was a horror movie, when it couldn't really be farther from it. The inspiration for it was Rebecca and the Mysteries of Udolpho, it was a gothic romance. I liked Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska in it, but Jessica Chastain... I have nothing nice to say about her performance.
The twist was.... creepy. I can't help but wonder what the film would have been like if Benedict Cumberbatch hadn't dropped out.

At the moment this is my entire life!
It's actually a lot of fun. The game has kept up with having new events, quests and challenges every few weeks to keep everyone interested and playing.
I know there was a lot of hype when it first came out, then a lot of people stopped, but it's actually really good.
Doing raids you meet new people and I have met a lot of nice folks out there. Looking forward to Larvitar Community Day this Saturday!

Jun 18, 2018
Animal Defenses by Mary Lindeen is a non-fiction book for early readers. This book is about how animals use their natural defenses that keep them safe. From rolling to a ball to spraying a nasty smell, animals are depicted with nice pictures and an illustration of their defense. The pictures are large and visually appealing, the animal species are varied the information is educational and the information is presented in a way that is easy to understand.
I received this ARC from Norwood House Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lilyn G - Sci-Fi & Scary (91 KP) rated Amazon Kindle in Apps

I would go nuts without this app
I have a kindle paperwhite, and I frequently access kindle cloud reader, but this is how I access books when I'm on my phone. Between the three (plus my audible app), there's very little time I can't find a way to sneak a few pages in.
The Amazon Kindle app rarely messes up, keeps all my books nice and tidy, and I like the options to read in different colors rather than just black on white. (I'm a huge fan of white on black.)

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated SEAL of My Dreams in Books
Jul 12, 2018
This was a fairly good book filled with short stories. Most of the stories were very well done and some failed to capture my attention. I'm glad that I bought this book. It was definitely entertaining and a way of finding new authors.
I definitely have a weakness for romance with military men. There is nothing sexier than an alpha male in camo. I thought that these stories were definitely entertaining and it was nice to have a stopping point every 30 pages or so. I really enjoyed this book.

Addicted
Contains spoilers, click to show
I’m slowly starting to get addicted to these books, I enjoyed Roy’s trip to Munich, I feel like after this trip he’s finally made up his mind about sandy and Cleo atlast!
Cannot wait to read the one that reveals what’s happened to sandy, the anticipation is killing me ha!
Love this murder mystery how can someone be in the same place twice... Roy and his copper nose will work it out
The characters are building up more and more as the books go one, it’s nice to understand Cleo and Glenn more.

Erika (17789 KP) rated First Man (2018) in Movies

This film really is best seen on a large screen, for the space sequences alone.
Sadly, it gets burdened down by way too much Earth melodrama, and it drags the movie down. I was desperately waiting for the launch of Apollo 11, it took nearly two hours to get there.
Ryan Gosling did well playing Armstrong, I think. Yeah, he was remote, but in general, that's kind of how engineers are in real life. I really liked Corey Stoll's brazen Aldrin, he was a nice contrast to the stoic Armstrong.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Once Upon a New Year's Eve in Books
Nov 14, 2018
A nice, quick and enjoyable read. I should say that I shouldn't really class this short story as a 'romance' as it is more of a dose of 'smut'...but good smut I might add.
It outlines the bully/victim relationship with a splash of attraction and lust leaving the reader wanting more. In my personal opinion I can not stand bullies and people who abuse others so it makes me cringe a bit when these people are so easily forgiven. Even so I would definitely consider reading the possible sequel.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated I am, I am, I am: Seventeen Brushes with Death in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.
