Still getting to grips with the new layout but have used goodreads for a log time and always enjoyed it. It's a great way to connect with other people who enjoy the same genres. Use it mainly for keeping track of how much I'm reading but there are so many features there is something there for everyone.

I love how quickly I can read these books. I start at page one and next thing I know it's two hours later and I'm 100 pages in. Harry's sarcasm and slight self deprivation helps lighten some if the darker aspects of the book. we see more people and feel the fallout from the last book.

Predictable but good
You get what you expect from this movie. The acting was good. The cinematography good. A little twist here and there as the story unfolds but otherwise your typical Halloween movie. People die, supposedly the killer dies(yet again, they don't show the body). Anyway, it wasn't too bad. Worth a watch if you're bored.

Didn't feel fair to rate either way as I didn't make it past 10 minutes. Just isn't for me, i felt like essentially straight into a musical number was a bit off putting I had no idea what was going on, however I know plenty of people that really enjoyed this, it just wasn't for me.

Jim Harold is wonderful
Jim gets on people from the paranormal world and interviews them. Some guests are awesome, some guests are meh. However, it's free, just press fast forward. Great stuff from a veteran of podcasting.

Fantastic family fun
Settlers of Catan is a fun game that is easy to learn and provides enough variety for high replay value. There is also a lot of room for house rules and customized play for people who are into that.

Netflix made this!
A dream cast with Scorsese directing. These guys are masters of their art. I get some people won't get it or will say it's too long, but I just was absorbed and transported away for three and a half hours. It's just brilliant.

I LOVED this game
Platinum games made some incredible games and Vanquish was one of their best. The pace and action was just perfect, better than any game before or since. You just belt it through the massive levels sliding and shooting. WE NEED VANQUISH Two!!

Light Horror
Thin Air is an extremely enjoyable book where the mountain is as big a character as the people on it. Why it works is it us incredibly subtle in its telling. If you want a spooky read it's well recommended.
