I offer a pony for my belated Chaturday contribution:
Also, am playing and enjoying PokemonGo so much, but absolutely acknowledge there are issues with it for plenty of people. But I am loving for me that I need help with motivation to get out of the house and this has been a massive help with that, and I've enjoyed so many parts of my local area I've never explored before as a result. I'm very lucky where I live though, wonderful park nearby that is well cared for and valued etc. Also, I've never before had an experience where a thing I've fallen into loving and doing is also a Big Thing that lots of other people are involved with too - like never! It's strange but kind of nice for a change. Usually I'm a micro fandom or late-to-the-party fandom kind of person.
I also read 'Cinder' by Melissa Meyer in a few hours because I couldn't put it down. Loved cyborg Cinder, hope the Prince's personality gets rounded out more and looking forward to seeing what happens in the next installment. Did find the ending was a bit abrupt and not so much appreciating the cliffhanger note. But... it does immediately make me want to go get the next one, so I guess it's pretty successful in that sense and if TV can do it, then why not books? It's definitely not my favourite plot device though.
Also read the full serial collaboration novel 'Tremontaine' and loved it so much. It was delightful - the right amount of chewy and depth without making me work too hard compared with just being able to enjoy the hell out of everything and the characters and their stories.
