Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Owls Well That Ends Well (Meg Langslow, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The large garage sale Meg and Michael are throwing to clean up their new home is drawing huge crowds. Sorry, the body in that trunk isn't included. The humor had me laughing the entire way through, and I thought this was the best mystery of the series. Very well done.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated The Field Guide (The Spiderwick Chronicles, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Grace family has moved into the house of a distant relative. The first night, the kids hear a noise in the walls. The next day, they find an old manuscript. Might it explain what is happening? It's an important first step in this series of interconnected novellas, but just being set up weakens it some.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Immaculate Reception (Madeline Bean, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The pope is coming to LA, and Madeline is catering the welcome breakfast. But while prepping, she finds a letter that seems to confess to a murder, and it sets her off on a mystery with ties to the past. Still my favorite in the series with a fast paced, twisty plot and such wonderful characters.

Mar 9, 2018
Madeline and her friends have just wrapped up a fundraiser for a private school. Then over the news comes the announcement that a dead woman was found in Madeline's bed. What was she doing there? Was Madeline the target? A very tightly plotted mystery with a great characters. One of the highlights of the series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Mr. Monk and The Blue Flu (Mr. Monk, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The third in the tie-in series finds Monk filling in as homicide captain while the department is on strike. Yet his "team" is worse off then he is. Good mystery with some very funny scenes. Recommended either way, but most definitely recommended for fans of the TV show.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Mr. Monk and The Two Assistants (Mr. Monk, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The fourth of the Monk tie-in novels answers the question, What would happen is Sharona returned? His former assistant accidentally comes back into his life after her husband is arrested for murder. At Natalie's urging, Monk begins to look into it the case. This is another fun entry and will please fans of the TV series.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Irresistibly Yours (The Durand Chronicles, #2) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
This is the second book in the Durand Chronicles series by Lark Brennan
It's set in Paris and the author seems to have done her homework for the locations.
This is a Paranormal Romance between Adrien and Tate and although it's a well-written story, the characters and the plot are great, I struggled to fully enjoy it and in the end was more of a slog for me to get through.

Angie (0 KP) rated The Meg (2018) in Movies
Aug 26, 2018
I am a big fan of the Steve Alten book series of the Meg. Now....when it comes to the movie....it was....entertaining at most. I saw it in 3D so maybe that’s why. Special effects were okay....nothing spectacular. I do feel that maybe if the movie were casted differently....my rating may be a little different. Wasn’t a big fan of the acting (if that is what we can call it)....

Book 3 in the Tokyo Ghoul series has a lot of action, drama, and information packed into it. Kaneki continues to work at the cafe with Touka, and she also begins to train him in martial arts. Hinata's life sees some major changes, and she's forced to deal with much unpleasantness at a young age, since the ghoul investigators are after her when they recognize her that her family is made up of ghouls.
