Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2352 KP) rated Gluten for Punishment (A Baker's Treat, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Toni Holmes is opening a gluten free bakery in the small Kansas town where she grew up. She's expecting a little trouble from the local wheat farmers, but someone throws wheat filled balloons during the grand opening. Then a dead body is found outside her front door.
I liked Toni and the rest of the characters. However, I found the plot frustrating because events doubled for any real clues or twists. Poor editing left in several major mistakes as well. I won't be going further with this author.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2352 KP) rated Hot, Shot, and Bothered (Lilly Hawkins, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
TV news shooter Lilly Hawkins is filming the wildfire burning out of control near Bakersfield when a body is found in a lake. When it turns out to be someone she knows and she doesn't buy the story of how she died, Lilly sets out to find the killer. I missed the supporting cast from the first book, although I still enjoyed my time with Lilly. Decent mystery, too. My biggest issue was actually the fire - hit a little too close to home for me.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Blackberry Burial (A Berry Basket Mystery #2) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
<i>NOTE: I voluntarily read and reviewed a free copy provided to me by the author.</i>
Marlee and friends are back in the 2nd Berry Basket Mystery, and I enjoyed this one even more than the first. While surveying a possible starting location for the annual road rally, Marlee finds the body of a girl missing for 20 years hidden in the overgrowth. Can she catch a killer when the murder happened so long ago?
I enjoy reading about Marlee and her friends, and I would love to visit Oriole Point. With such a great combination of characters, setting, and suspense, Im already looking forward to book #3.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Elementary, She Read in Books
Feb 21, 2018
What a great find for a Sherlock Holmes fan! Elementary She Read is the first in a new series about Gemma Doyle, who runs a Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, which I very much wish I could visit in real life. When the owner of a rare magazine is murdered and Gemma finds the body, she becomes the prime suspect. Gemma and her friend Jayne investigate to clear her name. This was a well written mystery with a charming setting and some unique characters. Ive loved Vicki Delany / Eva Gates other mysteries, and this is now one more to add to my always-buy list.

A Wild & Fun Adventure For The Whole Family!
This a very creative adaptation of the Jumanji series. This time around, the characters are transported inside the game. The writers did an excellent job of portraying the film as though the characters were actually in a video game universe.
The film is packed full of humor. Especially Jack Black's portrayal of a modern teenage girl trapped in the body of a middle-aged man. There are even some jokes designed for the older audience to get a chuckle, making it not only a good film for the family, but fun for adults as well.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Dead Silence (2007) in Movies
Jul 21, 2018
A creepy horror film with a high production value and good cast. There might not be a high enough body count for some, or for it to be classed as a slasher anyway. However it does have a spooky atmosphere with the creepy dolls. Not the most original or scary film, but at least it tried something new and different, among the endless carbon copy horrors being released these days. I have to add for a horror film the photography is great, you really can tell the attention to detail in every shot, from the angle, framing, lighting and colours. You don't notice that in many horror films!
Sue (5 KP) rated Eat in Peace to Live in Peace: Your Handbook for Vitality in Books
Aug 13, 2018
I didn’t know what to expect from this book, especially after reading the beginning of the book that used a bit of profanity to get a point across. I am glad I didn’t stop and continued to read. The author shares with the reader her experience with health issues that made her re-evaluate her life; eating habits, stress, mental well-being, exercise, and habits. The approach is quite simple; listen to your body and your intuitions as it will let you know what you need to live a healthy life.
