A stark, realistic look at Alzheimer's
Written as a journal: a year in the life of the main female character. She returns home for a year to help her mother look after her father who has Alzheimer's. He is quite far advanced, but at the beginning he is lucid. As the book progresses, so does his Alzheimer's. It's not just about a child caring for their parent: the main character has split up with her boyfriend and she feels as though she has made a mess of her life. This is her chance to set her life to rights.
This doesn't sugar coat any of the story, and I enjoyed it.

It felt like it took me forever to finish this book, in fact, the last hundred pages or so I just skimmed through because at that point I just wanted to be finished. I almost didn't finish it in fact because I started not caring what happened by the end. The book was very wordy, the author was too detailed and descriptive with basically everything, I didn't really feel that invested in any of the characters and I just kept hoping it would get better but it never did. I'm glad that I tried, but I'm also happy I'm done and I can move on to something else.

While Morgan is struggling to take over the family rock shop, she finds a dead body behind the store. But when she comes back for help, the body has vanished.
The plot in this one is a bit slow, although the characters were wonderful. I found myself caring about the sub-plots more than I thought I would because of the characters. And the mystery does reach a satisfying and logical end.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2540 KP) rated The Gods of Mars (Barsoom #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
After 11 years stuck on Earth, John Carter is thrilled to find himself back on Mars. But he will have to fight hostile aliens and superstition to get back to his beloved wife.
I enjoyed this for what it was - an action novel. The characters are rather thin, although I certainly found myself caring for the main characters. And John's amazing ability to fight off waves of enemies gets a little tiring. But it's still a fun book. Watch out for the cliffhanger.

Groundhog Day
Phil who’s played by Bill Murray is a smug and selfish weatherman who has no choice but to live through the same day over and over again until he learns the value of caring about others. Though on the whole a lighthearted comedy, this movie also deals with depression, and Phil undertakes a series of suicide attempts. Characters drink at bars, and in a scene in which three characters are shown getting drunk in a bowling alley, one of the characters attempts to drive a car while clearly drunk. Which again emphasises how wrong it is to drink and drive.
