Recycled Science by Tammy Enz and Jodi Lyn Wheeler-Toppen is a book about recycling. The book aims to reuse common household items to become useful items such as lava lamps, flashlights and speakers. The book is filled with excellent pictures during the different stages of the experiment.
This book contains some interesting science projects. The book is geared toward upper elementary or middle school students; however, it is important that the projects are completed with adult supervision because of the potentially dangerous items required. These projects should be completed at home or outside as they would not work in a traditional classroom environment.

This book was given to me as a christmas present by my brother. When I first started reading it, it took me two attempts of the first chapter to find my flow with the style of writing. As i havent read a book with this writing style before, it's more like a play, or a collection of thoughts by various speakers.
That being said I thoroughly enjoyed it. And found it is the type of book you keep going back to for more. The story flows very well and at times Is so descriptive you feel the anguish Mr Lincoln must have been feeling at the time of losing his son.

I found this addition to the franchise less scary than the previous movies, yes it has all the key things you get in today’s shockers, the figure running quickly across the screen in the background, shadowy figures, loud noises after moments of silence and of course those creepy sounds that bounce around all the speakers to make you feel at ease. But I’m not sure if it is down to me seeing so many horror films and knowing what’s coming that I don’t seem to jump as much as I used to, although many of the jumpy scenes that do you the good old tricks may work on those that are very nervy when watching horrors.

Alright book
I received the audiobook version through a giveaway that Book Riot hosted.
So, anybody that knows me knows that I am not a fan of audio books. Well, I won this one from a giveaway and thought why the heck not. It's a thriller, so I should love it. I'll admit, there were good parts, there were bad parts, and there were parts that made me want to rip my face off.
The speakers were good, they helped with the different voices instead of having one person doing all of the voices. But man, the first half of the "book" was an utter bore that seemed to drag me through the dirt and into the burning pits of hell to rot away. I'm not kidding. I can't say anything on the writing style as it was told to me and not read by me. But from what I could tell, the author seemed like a good writer but just didn't deliver the punch that was needed.

Post metal concept album sounds terrible but actually it's not
Ads you may have noticed despite being a Hip Hop artist and mainly listening to Hip Hop I do love all music, if it good, I'll bang it through my speakers. However I must admit, although i love hardcore, metal is not my favourite genre.
This was recommended to me and the description sounded horrific, it is a sci fi concept album mixing shoe gazer with blast beats and songs getting to the ten minute mark. Yeah, terrible right? Well actually its really damn good. Parts of the album remind me of Belligerent Declaration where dark atmospheric slow meandering showcase, builds up the atmosphere before going full sonic heavy on your ears without ever destroying the feeling its creates. Its rare to listen to a song clocking over 8 minutes and then rewind it to listen again but I did.
Now I need to get their new one and watch out for them live.
