Lindsay (1717 KP) rated Beyond Love (Beyond, #2) in Books
Aug 30, 2018 (Updated Apr 9, 2019)
Beyond Forever is done nicely. It more of the conclusion of the series. Though it leaves with guessing Finn best bud Mac and his wife Jules lives are like. It more to do with Finn and Olivia life is like a little before and after having their little one.
We get this feeling and how all their plans start to change. There are twists and turns throughout the book. Olivia sister Jane states they are moving to Austin, Texas. All family starts thinking about that and pondering their moves.
Finn has a surprise plan for Olivia and his little girl. He seems to be traveling a lot and his business and they want to expand their business. Finn and Tex decide to create a surprise plan for their wives.
Jules brother mentions a few time throughout the book and his ASL fundraisers. Do you realize the family is more important or not? Will Olivia get her own home that sees dreams of? Part of it that her friends are a bit important to her as well.
DD Max does a sweet job of finishing off Olivia and Finn story. I now wish to read about Mac and Jules and find out what they have. It so was like seeing how their little girl and learning more about the guardian angels are about.

Trudi (4 KP) rated Four weddings and a fiasco in Books
Jan 26, 2018
Nice heart warming story
Romantic comedies are not my usual read but I felt like a change. And I'm very glad I gave it a try, it was a very easy read as it was full of good scene setting description character build ups and an interesting back story too. Well worth the read, even if you're not a romcom reader.
The story is about Katy who is a wedding photographer with her own business who was left struggling after a family betrayal. Katy learns to trust and eventually love again. There are ups and downs that keep you glued to the book from beginning to end!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Mr. Monk Gets on Board (Mr. Monk #17) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Natalie decides to attend a business conference on a cruise ship, she is surprised when Monk tags along. She's almost talked him into leaving when she over hears a murder plot. Can they stop it? Can they prove who the killer is?
A couple of times, this book got a little lost in the fun of Monk on the cruise ship, just like the series. And just like in the series, I enjoyed those moments. The mystery was still strong and the characters were great as always.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Revenge of the Spellmans (The Spellmans, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Izzy Spellman is enjoying her time off from the family PI business. But then she gets a client who thinks his wife is cheating on him. That's not the case, but the wife does have some secret. Meanwhile, little sister Rae is accused to cheating on her PSAT's and Izzy moves into her brother's basement. Yep, it's more wacky fun with my favorite dysfunctional family. I did feel things were feeling a little too familiar at this point, but it was still lots of fun.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated A Knit before Dying in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Josie Blair rents the space attached to her yarn shop to an antiques dealer, who is killed one evening as Josie and some of her knitting friends are gathered in her shop. The dead mans business partner is suspected of the crime, but Josie has her doubts and decides to look into matters on her own. This is a great cozy with a likable cast of characters, and a setting that I absolutely loved. Im a crocheter, not a knitter, but I still wish I could visit Miss Marple Knits.
<i>NOTE: I voluntarily read and reviewed an early copy of the book.</i>

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated The Godfather: Corleone's Empire in Tabletop Games
Aug 1, 2018
I have only played this once at the board game meetings. It is an amazing game, but can be pretty rough for a first time player. I was so excited to be a thug. You get into your role, and steal stuff, do illegal business and try to collect as much cash as you can to win the game. I loved the board and I loved the mechanics - but I think you do need experience for this one to get the hang out of it and actually manage to win.
Great fun, even with 4+ players. Game gets pretty long if many people play though. I would definitely play this again!

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated The Greatest Showman (2017) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.
I challenge anyone to go to this film and not end up tapping their feet along to the music. Singing and dancing at it's best. It's probably some of the best singing I've heard on screen, dare I say it... all year. And it was a perfect way to finish 2017. It's exciting, interesting, heartwarming... and if that isn't enough then there's Hugh Jackman spinning the ladies when they dance... *sigh*.
