So, confession time first.
I picked this up recently, started reading it, got myself a bit lost and then found out I had missed a series in-between (collected in Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters).
Back I went, picked that up, and put his on hold to read that entry.
This now makes a bit more sense!
It also follows on more from the previous collection, with this being a compilation of issues 20-25 of the main-line Star Wars series, and with this bringing to a close the story of Imperial Commander Commander Ellian Zahra.
There's also an attempt to 'bring-in' characters from other Star Wars media spin-offs: most noticeably, Qi'Ra from the film 'Solo' but also Poe Dameron's parents. Final issue in the collection (issue #25) has nothing to do with the main-line characters (Luke, Leia, Han, etc) but is instead a compilation of 4 mini-stories starring (1) Obi-Wan and Anakin, pre RotS (2)Darth Vader (3)Kylo Ren and (4) Poe Dameron.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2369 KP) rated Kinsey and Me: Stories in Books

Short Stories and Essays
This book breaks down into two unequal sections. The first roughly 70% is made up of nine short stories featuring Kinsey Millhone, PI in Santa Teresa. She solves a murder with a disappearing body and a case of a man who fell off his roof. She also gets involved when an actor gets kidnapped.
The back section featuring thirteen vignettes as author Sue Grafton reflects on her life growing up with a functioning alcoholic father and a destructive alcoholic mother. While she admits they are autobiographical, she frames them around a character named Kit.
Fans of Kinsey will delight in these nine stories, all previous published, but decades ago so hard to track down outside this collection now. Personally, I found the back section depressing, but I suspect these stories were theopoetic for Ms. Grafton to write, and I can see others benefiting from them, too.
Overall, fans of the series will enjoy the collection. If you are new to the series, you can jump in here, too, and meet Kinsey without ruining any of fun of the novels.

John-Paul Dozier (2 KP) rated South Park: The Fractured But Whole in Video Games

A must have for South Park Fans
Matt Stone and Trey Parker did it again by coming up with another great South Park game. If you love the show, you will love this game. You are pretty much playing a very long episode of the show. This is one game I am glad to have in my collection. Just a note: If you are a parent and you let your younge ones play this game, you are a terrible parent. Just saying.

This collection of short stories with has a interesting twist in that they are all based on traditional ballads. I really enjoyed the variety and the dark twist on all of them. Some of my favorites were "Driving Jenny Home" and "John Barleycorn Must Die". As a person who loves Irish and Scottish folk music these stories gave me a new perspective on the music I listen too.
I will be recommending book. Especially to my friends with literature and music degrees.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous Obscure in Books
Apr 27, 2018
My thoughts: I won this book from The Shady Glade, and I didn’t know if I wanted to review it or not. I started it. I couldn’t stop.
It’s a collection of six-word memoirs by teens all over the place, and it’s fabulous. Some were inspiring, some were depressing. i sat on my bed and whispered them aloud to myself for thirty minutes. (it’s a short book.) it was enthralling.
