Dean (6927 KP) rated The Tripper (2007) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
A strange, stoner slasher produced and directed by David Arquette (Scream). It's quite a decent modern slasher, quite odd but the back story as to why this guy goes off the rails killing hippies is explained. Less so the high regard Ronald Regan is given. It's funny in places, has a fair bit of gore, I found the tripping hallucinations a tad annoying. There is even a brief cameo from Courtney Cox-Arquette. Overall pretty good compared to many recent slasher offerings.

Well written
Characters were well built
One of the best reads I've read this year
Caraval was one of my favorite reads so far this year. It was very different from what I usually read, and I'm glad I found it. I love reading about whole new places that aren't part of our world. Stephanie Garber is excellent at descriptive passages of scenery. Her characters help the reader to immerse themselves in her book. Truly magical to read and imagine.

Emma (519 KP) rated Family Likeness in Books
Jun 15, 2019
This was a book picked by my monthly book club, at first i was a bit dubious as to wether i would like it or not. At first I found the story a bit slow going, but by a quarter of the way through I was loving it. I liked the difference of having two stories running side by side with each other, and also how neatly the author ties both of the stories up and the end of the book.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Eve of Darkness (Marked, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I was expecting a lot better then it was, however it wasn't a bad book just got confusing and the characters kind of annoyed me. I did love cain and abel I will admit and Eve rocked but their trio conflict annoyed me. I felt like neither man seriously wanted to be with her and it was just a game to them. I enjoyed it but found myself fighting to make it through to the end and glad that it was over.
ArecRain (8 KP) rated A Fashionable Indulgence (Society of Gentlemen, #1) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
This was my first time reading a novel like this but it is certainly not my last. I cannot think of a single thing missing or should be added. I love historical romance and wanted to try an MM romance. I found that I enjoyed it much more than usual romance because the couple was not dealing with the same old problems you read about in every historical romance. It was something fresh and new, with an amazing lead couple.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2516 KP) rated If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A creative progression story that starts with a simple act of kindness, giving a mouse a cookie. From there, however, things progress until they loop back around.
The book is simple but filled with great illustrations. And the journey is so creative. I missed this book until I read it with my niece and found it absolutely charming.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2516 KP) rated Slay Ride (Christopher Miller Holiday Thriller, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A complaint about a bad shuttle driver leads to a kidnapping and possible murder. Meanwhile, FBI agent Christopher Miller is called back to the field for a robbery that is more than it appears. Yes, these two plots cross, and the suspense keeps the pages turning. However, I found the language and gore in the book to be too much for my tastes.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2516 KP) rated 11th Hour (Women's Murder Club, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Women's Murder Club only takes on two cases this time around. First, there are the skulls found in an actor's garden. Then there's the man killing drug dealers. I was actually surprised to find that the ladies worked together to solve one of these cases, which hasn't happened for a while. In the end, it's a Patterson book, but it was fun.
