Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Unlucky Charms (Superstition Mystery, #3) in Books

Feb 21, 2018

Rory runs the Lucky Dog Boutique in Destiny, CA. When someone starts breaking into local shops and leaving bad luck symbols in their wake, no one wants to talk about it for fear of bringing down even more bad luck on the town. After the real-estate agent who has been trying to find Rory the perfect home confesses to the vandalism and is subsequently murdered, Rory decides it is time to investigate.

Destiny is a quaint, almost fairy-tale like town where superstitions are real and good luck charms are a necessity. I might not like to live there, but it is fun to visit for a while!

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Doggone It (Dreamwalker, #3) in Books

Feb 21, 2018

Book 3 of The Dreamwalker Series.

I frequently read paranormal cozies, but this was my first encounter with a ghost dog! Baxleys abilities as a dreamwalker were unique, and when they stopped working for her, it added a whole new layer of conflict to the story. The mystery kept me guessing, the characters were entertaining, and the paranormal element was a lot of fun.

Doggone It is book #3 in the Dreamwalker series, but the first one that I read. I had no trouble figuring out what was going on, or who was who, but I wish I would have read the other books just to have seen the characters relationships develop firsthand.

Alright - This book was alright - it was mid range for me. I had a hard time with the first half the book, a lot of it I found to be uninteresting and boring - but then the last half of the book came and it knocked my socks off. There was a lot going on (I still can't pronounce half the words and names), I enjoyed where the story went after a certain point, I didn't think I'd end up wanting to read Book 3 but now after the way this story has ended it just makes me want to request book 3 from the library. Darn those cliffhangers! Is it wrong how I think the dog is my favourite character in the book? No. okay.

OK number one complaint about getting older...can't stay awake! I used to be able to start watching a movie at like 10 pm, but this is no more. If I don't have my movie going by 7:00 or 7:30 I will guarantee to fall asleep by the time it is done.

I even try caffeine and that doesn't seem to help. I know getting enough sleep is probably part of it. Because I sleep with my dog, I most likely don't get enough deep sleep as I should, but it's very frustrating.

I take movies very seriously, so when I miss something and have to rewatch I get so upset with myself.

(I'm also upset the word"rewatch" isn't recognized as an actual word!)

@Andy K I completely missed this post, sorry! Sadly I suffer from the opposite, struggling to get to sleep,

How much sleep do you get usually during the night? It does sound like this could be a factor. Is it only through watching films that you find you can’t stay awake?

Usually 6-7 hours. I sleep with my dog which is probably part of the problem. Not just movies, that is just when it is the most annoying. Sometimes I wake up and then have to rewind what I missed.

I try caffeine, but that only helps a little.

Probably not much I could do.
