Buzz Worthy Debut
Lana Lewis has moved back home to Devil’s Beach, an island off the Florida coast, and taken over running her late mother’s coffee shop. One of the best and worst things about her new life is her employee, Fabrizio "Fab" Bellucci. Fab is a great barista, but his shameless flirting gets on Lana’s nerves, especially since Fab has a reputation as a lady’s man to go along with it. When Fab quits without any warning, Lana has a public confrontation with him. The next morning, she discovers his dead body. The police are saying it was a tragic accident, but Lana thinks something else happened to him. Can she prove it?

After a bit of a slow start, this book picks up and presents some interesting twists along the way to a logical conclusion. There are plenty of suspects, and they are well-drawn enough to keep us guessing. I did wish that we learned a little less about Fab’s love life and that Lana’s attraction to the police chief were turned down a notch, but both are minor issues overall. I feel like we have a small core of regulars here, but I really like them. As a non-coffee drinker, I didn’t find the talk of coffee went too far, and I’m sure that coffee lovers will find this book makes them reach for their favorite mug. This is a fun debut, and I hope to visit Lana again soon.

"I said once that I liked Van der Graaf Generator and before I knew it I was accused of ripping them off. Perhaps it’s safer to state that I like Steeleye Span. Mind you, I shared an Irish coffee with them in Vienna once and left them with the bill, so maybe not"

It's just what it says it is. Jerry Seinfeld picking up comedians ( mostly old or washed up)and taking them for coffee, talking about the old days. Some episodes were ok, most I found to be boring. Although I'm not a fan of Jerry Seinfeld. I like Seinfeld tv show but find him annoying.

Of course this season it's just called "comedians at home, doing nothing".

Pointless sex scenes every 5min, characters you can't relate to and not loveable, Anastasia is the most annoying character I have ever seen in a movie.
I had more fun looking inside my empty cup of coffee trying to figure out funny shapes in my mug than watching the movie. Can't believe they made a third one.

Reading a Maeve Binchy book is so comforting. Like outside a cafe drinking strong coffee people-watching. This collection of stories is packed with insightful glimpses into people, women particularly and what makes them tick. There is often a thread running through the stories about wisdom and folly. Sometimes the stories got a little repetitive, but a sweet read.

"This album is incredibly inspiring for me. The way he experiments with sounds and drums and voices is really amazing. He was really thinking out of the box for this one. But my favorite thing is how he conceptualizes songs. Like in 'The Ballad of Dorothy Parker 'or 'Starfish and Coffee.' Seriously there is no one like him!"

"Taught me that we are going to die and we don’t know why. (I had coffee with him the year before he died and asked him to sign a copy “to John Cameron Mitchell”. He started writing in a shaky hand, then paused. “Do you need all three?”)
Read, age 25 in St-Germain-Des-Pres, Paris."

A pleasant surprise
Comic book heroes are far from being my thing but I found this film very entertaining. I liked it when Thor landed on the earth and the comedy that came with this, smashing the coffee cup on the floor and the language he uses. To me it stuck the right balance of comedy, romance, cgi and drama.
