Tiana Elizabeth Murray (0 KP) rated Thirteen Reasons Why: (TV Tie-in) in Books

Jun 4, 2018

I read 13 reasons why last summer and watched the tv show and there are some major differences between the book and show. But I loved them both equally. 13 reasons why talks about a few different issues that nobody talks about. It gives me something to think about when it comes to friends, family, and people that I don't even talk to. These are important topics that we should be talking about not just talking for five minutes about then drop the conversation but really really talk about it. Overall I loved the book and the show so much so i gave it a 10/10. I loved it a lot

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Simply West of Heaven (Ginnie West Adventures, #3) in Books

Feb 24, 2021

The third book in Monique Bucheger's Ginnie West Adventures continues right where we left Ginnie last!
I enjoyed this story although not as much as the first two I will admit. But I did enjoy it and loved the new twists that Monique Bucheger gave Ginnie, Tillie, and Toran. I also enjoyed the dynamics between stepparents/ stepchildren that Monique Bucheger continues to display in this book; its very sweet, real, and covers issues that are apparent in most stepparent relationships. I thought Ginnie (and her family) learned some valuable lessons in this book and that the lesson have real world applications.
Overall, I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for Ginnie

Crumb (1994)

Movie Favorite

"Weird Sex. Obsession. Comic Books.” is how this film was billed. Each category alone is enough to put this on a top ten list. Crumb falls into a rare group of documentaries. A hero like R. Crumb is so reclusive and so fickle about who he allows to get close to him, but close they get. He’s a Slob over Snob for life. This film is more about Charles Crumb, the hidden master in the family, then it is about Robert. The art alone, like with many Criterions, is a reason to own this and present it on a shelf. Though here, there’s something very appropriate about having a DVD among your old issues of Weirdo or Zap. "

Deadly Theater

When Kellan Ayrwick attends a dress rehearsal of King Lear with Nana D. and her friends, he expects the deaths to stay on stage. But not too long into the second act, he realizes that Gwendolyn Paddington isn’t asleep on his shoulder, but she’s passed away. Gwendolyn had been saying someone in her family was trying to kill her. Is that true? If so, can Kellan figure out who did it?

When you have a book with characters as dysfunctional as the Paddington family, it always makes me appreciate my own family. But it also makes for a great mystery plot, and that’s the case again here. There are plenty of twists along the way to catching the killer at the end. While some of the characters can be over the top, we care about enough of them, including Kellan, to keep us invested in the book. I did feel like the humor was hit and miss for me here. Sometimes, the character’s teasing worked, and other times it felt like they were picking on Kellan more than actually teasing him. Unfortunately, there were some timeline issues and a red herring that felt like it jumped quite a bit. Both could have been resolved with a good editor. There are several sub-plots involving Kellan and his family. While they veered a little more into soap opera territory than is typical for the books I read, they have me hooked and I can’t wait to make time for the next book to find out what happens.
