Comment on Things We Left Unsaid, by Zoya Pirzad by Tim

I was just going through my head last night about my thouhgts about birchbox. I got a few of the same boxes as you. I started in July. What I am most disappointed by is the lack of actual make-up. I keep getting primers and face masks and oils, but other than the lip glosses and the blinc mascara (which really I love, the one full-size I’ve bought) I havent gotten any eyeshadows, blushes, eyebrow pens, etc. That is really what would put me over the moon. I know Id be buying full size products of those. And in the earlier months this year you got some awesome sized samples! They just keep getting smaller and smaller. :-/Im definitely excited to try myglam and beauty army and see how they compare. I’ve tried gogo and think Im canceling after I get my second box since my first was so atrocious (this past month).Just my own thouhgts. Its nice to see a year round up of the boxes. It is always a nice suprise to have waiting!

Comment on End Game, by Matthew Glass by David Neal

Matthew Glass is to be congratulated on a brilliantly crafted, albeit frightening, piece of work. He demonstrates graphically how fragile is the civilisation in which we live and how susceptible we are to matters and events of which we, perhaps thankfully, remain ignorant.

I think that it was Isaac Asimov who said that the future of our lives depends ultimately on a few people having the courage to resist knee-jerk reactions and to be able to ask exactly the sort of questions that Glass raises in his fine book.

Mr Glass, should you ever read this comment, could you be persuaded to take over the job of running the USA, and China, and Russia etc., etc.?

Lovely review. I bought this book earlier today, after reading Kirsty’s praise for it – I’ve been absorbed all day. Sarah Moss must have done a lit event in Liverpool recently, too, as the copy I bought is signed.
