Game of Thrones, Fake Kate, Kindles and Roku I am a happy girl.

I love my fiancée have I mentioned that before I love him to the moon. He really is amazing! 
Let me start with a quick story. Our play station broke. Seems like a dumb start for a story but it is what everything steams for to get to the reason I am writing. So when we first begun dating he had gotten me netflix. I just adore movies but I hate paying for the theatre and I am horrible and returning red box movies. I adore it, and it became my good friend at night while Jerry is working. So when the play station broke I started buying more and more books to keep me company. Which as you know can get pricey. So the first thing my fiancée did was get me a Kindle.

 He knows that I had been in love with my Mothers and wanted one for a while now and therefore it was this amazing gift and I am head of heels for it. Plus it the long run it saved him money. I borrow books from the library other Kindle readers and I am content reading the free ones. But I still missed my Netflixs at night. 
We started with the remodel of the kitchen bath and laundry room. Which is still going on. And it has taken over the entire downstairs of my house. I was getting pretty discouraged as well as all the other things going on, Jerry decided to cheer me up and bought me a roku! A little device that can turn most TVs into a computer of sorts. You can access Netflixs, Amazon, among other things, Facebook, games and now  HBOGO. So again my love affair with books and netflix is complete and way easier as well as I am not in love with Game of thrones.
 
OK on to the book review. Fake Kate by David Wailing starts by telling you about these two sisters and how one has gone missing because of something someone said to her from her brand new online dating adventures. Being the other sister and paranoid she decides to dress as her and go on her missing sisters dates to find out if she can discover what has happened. It is so twisted and crazy you almost have to read it to under stand but it is not a bad read jst an odd one I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.
I am simple in love with Game of Thrones. I have finished season one and I was in tears and completely enthralled. I will not give any spoilers but holy cow I cannot believe it took me this long to get into it. It is beyond amazing and truly incredible. Watch it soon it you have not!!! Season three beings next spring you have time to catch up. Just know that it is heart breaking at time as well as takes you are wild rides. You will love and hate and it may cause you to curse at the TV and wish to speak Ol'English.  I will give it 5 out of 5 stars and I am only but half way through.


I do want to say for the record. I love my fiancée to the moon but not just because he buys me things. I would not think I would have to say that but I would not want anyone to think poorly of our love because I wanted to rave about a few gifts. JERRY NAPIER I LOVE YOU!

I just love my Kindle Fire Book Review time (been off my game)

I just adore my Kindle. I can read I can watch TV and movies listen to music surf the Internet. The few things I wish it did I am sure will come in time because it seems to change all the time. 
The most amazing this is that finishing one book now does not mean I am stuck until I can borrow from a friend, get to the library or store before I can become involved with another set of characters that will in some way entrance me and touch my imagination. I just pick the next one! My library now allows you to check out Kindle books, there are free books and as a prime member I can borrow books and I can also share with my family and friends who have Kindles! 
Ok moving on, my book review. 
"YOU HAVE 10SECONDS TO MAKE A DECISION: Let a kidnapper take your child or watch your child die! CHOOSE" Yup that was the line that got me to read this book. 
A quick synopsis- Sadie is a best selling author and proud mama! She loves her son more than anything being her is her miracle baby!  When her six year old apple of her eye is kidnapped she nearly goes insane! She feels fear grief as well as guilt. She is the one person who could possibly break the case of this serial kidnapper but if she says a word he may send her son back to her... in bloody little pieces.

I read this book in 2 days it was a easy read but a good read. I did not really care for the lead character to begin with. She seems week but as the book moves on she gains a bit of strength through it all. There is a lot of play with fate and looking for signs. Which is funny because I love that kind of thing! The ups and downs are quite intense in which you think is this it? It is a great quick read for any of my reader friends! I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars!
