Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2480 KP) rated The Maltese Falcon in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Sam Spade is a PI, and when his partner is murdered, he starts to look at the case. Was it the case they'd just taken on for a beautiful client? Yes, it's a giant of the genre, but I found it slow, especially at the end. Maybe that's just how things have changed over the years.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2480 KP) rated How to Dine on Killer Wine (Party Planning, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Presley Parker's latest party is a wine tasting in the beautiful Napa Valley. But murder follows her when a despised environmental crusader is found murdered after the party. Convinced the cops have the wrong killer, she starts investigating. I find these books fun. The plot was a bit uneven, but overall an enjoyable read.

I was experimenting with listening to audio books during my commute when I "read" this book. While the format was a little disorienting for me, I absolutely loved the story, enough so that at some point I'd really like to go back and read it "for real."
I will say that Gaiman is a beautiful reader, and I'm glad I listened to the story purely from the perspective of getting to hear him read his own work.

Awesome
I absolutely loved this book. I found the characters fascinating, complex and believable. I genuinely couldn't predict which way the story was going to go and I love the fact that it was set in a kind of steampunk Victorian England setting. I especially enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Mori's clockwork. I get that this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of novel but I definitely loved it.

This is a beautiful and relaxing game. You walk around an open world, which is bright and calming and full of trees and flowers. Within the world there are many maze-like puzzles, which you solve to open new parts of the world. Play is very simple and intuitive, but it takes a long time to get bored of this game. It's really satisfying to solve the puzzles, and gameplay is very relaxing and meditative.

Beautiful
Wow. I went into this movie with very low expectations. I had absolutely no idea what to think of it. I came out of this movie and I was so incredibly happy. I think I teared up several times while I watched the movie. It was very well done. The cinematography was gorgeous and I really loved the story. I would highly recommend to go see this film in the theater. It is so worth it.

A complicated look at grief and change
This movie... Is hard to talk about. Not because it is poorly done, but because you feel so conflicted after you watch it. I was pretty disinterested in the beginning of this film, but once I reached the end of the film, I cried. The film feels a little disjointed and slow, but if you can get into it, it is a beautiful exploration of grief, love and change.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of Finding Dorothy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book. Maud Baum was an absolutely fascinating woman and this book shows it off wonderfully.
I adored the strong relationship between her and Frank. It wasn't always perfect but it was wonderfully passionate.
Maud's determination to protect the legacy of Oz was moving and her interactions with Judy were beautiful and tragic.

Gameplay is great.
Gameplay is awesome. Same as Pokemon Go, but with more pleasant colors (more beautiful, not so bright). Easy to understand. Loads fast. Graphics are amazing. Many ways to customize your avatar. Only thing that bothers me in this game is (which doesn't ruin the gameplay), you can't customize your character on the map, once you choose a house, it simply changes to the main color of that house.
