Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Black Ties and Lullabies (Playboys, #3) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Black Ties & Lullabies is a contemporary romance...not usually a book I would pick up on my own. I borrowed it from a friend after she won it on First Reads. It was an entertaining, light read, the perfect book to be reading at the start of the school year.
I enjoyed the story & the characters were interesting & well developed. So why 3 stars? Well, the plot itself was very predictable, maybe that's why I'm not so into romance novels. I like a little suspense & I could pretty much see every aspect of this story taking place before it actually did.

Have come back to this game after deleting it a while ago and refinding it on the App Store. Not sure why I deleted it at the time but it is just a normal match 3 game to win stars, so you can buy items to decorate the house. There are lots of games out there with the same concept. Yes some of the levels are hard and take several goes (I may have got bored at this stage and that is why I deleted it) and some are easy, but at the moment I am quite happy to waste time playing it.

I feel like all that really needs to be said is: Girl Power. This book has it, is about it, and is not quiet about it.
The story has wonderful elements of humans and a beautifully explained view of so many types of Yokai. I really enjoyed seeing all of the different types and learning more. I just wish the plot didn't swing so many times from person to person. It ended up a bit jumbled.
While I enjoyed the story and the different takes on Yokai I was not a fan of the ending. That is the reason for the 3 stars.

I spent the majority of this book hating the main character! She complained about everything! I mean come on lady...get-up for an adventure! Change isn't always a bad thing!
Then I had to remind myself...it's just a book!
I loved how this one ended! At the risk of a **SPOILER** I will say...she came around in the end and did the right thing for herself & her kids!
I did however LOVE the dog! Hamish is so like my Daisy!
A solid 4 stars...it is Carole Matthews so it's a minimum of 3 for me anyway!!!

Simple and easy turns (2 more)
only 30 turns can be played in approximately a half hour. But I can also stop anytime and come back to it.
Feels like a digital board game.
I've played about 7 games of this and so far I've not cracked the code to getting more than 2 stars..
So far I really like it and really get into the exploring, an researching technologies. Even the battles are slightly entertaining. It's quick enough to take 2 or 3 turns and put it away on the go.

I had intended to read this book on a Florida beach vacation, which was canceled due to the pandemic. It made me miss the beach, with its lush descriptions of the South Carolina Low Country. Harper finds solace in the beach and a dolphin friend (yes, you read that right). The book is silly and cheesy, and exactly what I would have wanted to read while on my trip. I especially liked Carson and will eventually pick up the next in the series (each book is told from the perspective of a different sister). 3+ stars.
