[Book Review] Nicolette Dane: “My Friend the Bride”, “The Sexy Librarian”, and “Crazy For a Geek Girl”.
~ 18+ Content Warning. Only adults beyond this point. ~ These are all small stories that are available for free via Kindle. My Friend the Bride. Good writing plagued by detestable characters. I’ll first start off by saying that this is the first time I’m reading any of Nicolette Dane’s works, since I only recently started reading lesbian romance books. She is definitely a talented writer from the way she writes her stories and she deeply describes character interaction. This of course leads to some very intimate scenes that makes you immerse with the protagonists of her books. *PLOT SPOILERS INCOMING* Molly and Emma are best friends. Molly is in love with Emma but she is getting married. After getting intimate with Molly, Emma wants to continue having sex with her without her husband knowing, knowing full well Molly has a major crush on her. She can’t be with Molly because of parents and religion.…
[Tech Review] Doogee X5 Max Pro: Squandered by technical issues.
When I ordered the DOOGEE X5 Max (the predecessor to the X5 Max Pro) last year, it was literally the best phone I ever had. It was very well built with its design and it offered nice features for its $60 USD price. Unfortunately that phone came to an end when it was involved in a mishap that got it ran over by a car, leaving the screen to gradually blackout entirely until it was completely useless. I was obviously upset, but no worries, I could just get the X5 Max again. But this time, I’m getting its upgraded version: the DOOGEE X5 Max Pro! The same great phone with even better specs/performance. How could it go wrong? Oh, it can. And it did. First off, I have to mention that I ordered this phone from AliExpress, as it is important. The phone eventually arrives and it seemed pretty fine…
[Book Review] Gracefully Grayson.
Gracefully heartwarming. Disclaimer: Before I go into this review, keep in mind that since I’m transgender, this review may be subject to bias. Gracefully Grayson is a book about a transgender kid exploring their gender and finding the courage to be who they are. It includes just about everything a kid such as Grayson would experience while in school: bullying, difficulty with parents/guardians, unnecessary intervention by others, trying new clothes out, finding who you are, etc. I can happily say that the book explores all of these aspects and it’s fabulously written. I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever read a book that made me want to read it again right away. I freaking love this Gracefully Grayson! Of course it’s very easy to relate to since it was like reading my life in someone else’s words. I don’t just feel like I am in Grayson’s shoes just because she is…
[Review] GRID Autosport
Good enough, but Codemasters continues to disappoint. I had already made a review for GRID Autosport on my Steam profile, but aftering spending time revisiting this game, it’s warranted that I re-review the game. My original “very negative” perception of GRID Autosport has changed to that of one more favourable, but it is still not the great experience that it should be. I will be quoting my original review as I explain and add on to what I originally wrote. Race Driver: GRID “I don’t get it. How do you start off making one of the best racing sims ever and create games that sequentially get worse?” Race Driver: GRID isn’t just one my favourite racing games, it is also one of my favourite games of all time. It was the perfect racing sim game for me, even though I highly preferred arcade racers. Having your manager call you by name felt…
