Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Diabetic Pastry Chef in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The Diabetic Pastry Chef is a wonderful cookbook with more than just recipes. Stacey gives standard and metric conversions, lots of easy to read and easy to understand information about diabetes and food, descriptions of the various kinds of flour, how to use sugars and substitutes, and wonderful hints and tips for spices, various substitutes, and nutrition.
The recipes themselves are sorted into 8 categories, like Tea Breads, Cakes, Puddings, Breakfast, etc. They are clear and easy to understand, and at the bottom of each is a Nutrition Facts graph like on the back of most food, with all the information about what you’re eating.
Here is a photo of one of the pages: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_-sER6e5xCaQ/S2ojaEwxNFI/AAAAAAAAB-g/R7hfLIrb6nQ/s1600-h/DSCN0167%5B3%5D.jpg
The only complaint I have for this book is that there are no photos of any of the pastries. I like a book with photos… however. the pages are not glossy and have wide margins, so they’re the kind you can easily make notes and write on with no problem.
Overall I recommend this book to anyone who loves desserts but needs to watch their blood sugar, or even to those who want to watch their weight.

*＊✿❀ Maki ❀✿＊* (7 KP) rated Selfies in Books
May 3, 2018
Selfies was a fun combination of modern day vanity and the old belief that taking a picture of someone captures a part of that person's soul.
It was...okay. I liked how the story was told in a series of photo descriptions. The build up towards the ending is pretty well paced, although the strange break at the beginning where the random kid delivers exposition felt a bit out of place. It felt like it would have served better as an epilogue, rather than an opening.
My biggest problem was that I really couldn't take the story seriously. It was never scary or creepy for me.
I guess I've just read one too many <a href="http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Creepypasta_Wiki">creepypastas</a>;. (I had an addiction to them earlier on in the year.)
This short even follows the general format of a creepypasta, down to the girl getting the phone from a creepy old man in a store that mysteriously disappears after the phone is passed off on her. The story was at least well-written, and properly edited, which is more than I can say for most creepypastas out there.
You can read it for free <a href="http://www.tor.com/stories/2014/09/selfies-lavie-tidhar">here</a>;.

Fred (860 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey in Video Games
Mar 16, 2019
Epic adventure!
Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite series of video games. I loved them all & this one may be the best of all. Ancient Greece is the setting & you play as one of two characters, either male or female. You play as a mercenary, which allows for many types of missions. The story is very involved and takes you all over an enormous world. The world is beautiful & it's worth exploring every inch.
My favorite new features of the game are the way you can hunt other mercenaries in the game & move up the chain. Sort of like the Lord of the Rings games where you can hunt specific orcs & goblins. The other is hunting cult members. You do missions to find out the identities of the cult members, then hunt them down. All very exciting.
So far they have kept the Azimuth stuff to a minimum, which is fine.
This game is huge. I have played for over 20 hours so far & nowhere near completing it. Not even half I would guess.
I also love the photo feature in the game & find myself using it a lot. The game is that beautiful.
If you like the others, then this is a must buy.

The Keeping (Law of the Lycans #3) by Nicky Charles
The Keeping is one of the main laws of the Lycans. They can't tell anyone about their existence, or dire circumstances will follow. The photograph Ryne took of Kane comes into play in this book. Billionaire 'Greyson' has the photo, and makes a discovery. To follow up on this, he makes sure his lawyer, Aldrich, hires Melody to find Ryne and get an interview. You don't know Greyson's reasons for this until the end of the book, so you are kept in tenterhooks. Melody and Ryne have an explosive time together, but the line between 'yes' and 'no' is blurred in this story, so consider yourself warned. On a positive note, we catch up with Elise and Kane, so that's good.
This is an intricate tale, with plenty of mystery left to the end. Smoothly written, and with no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow, The Keeping is another jewel in the crown of The Law of the Lycans series. This book will definitely keep your interest, whether it is the mystery side, or the sexy times ;) Absolutely recommended by me.
