Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Mama Does Time (A Mace Bauer Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Mace Bauer's quiet evening at home is interrupted when her mama calls from jail. It seems that Mama found a dead body in her trunk, and naturally the police think that makes her the prime suspect. Can Mace prove otherwise? This is a fun debut filled with wonderful characters. I did feel the pacing was a bit slow, but overall, I enjoyed it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Arsenic and Old Paint (An Art Lover's Mystery, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Former forger turned faux finisher Annie Kincaid is painting in an exclusive men's club when a member is found murdered. Then's she's asked to find a stolen statue and a painting that may or may not be forged. This is the fourth in a series, and it's another fun romp. The ending felt rushed, but that was my only complaint with the book.

Dana (24 KP) rated Batman: A Death In The Family in Books
Mar 23, 2018
This was an interesting story. After reading the author's note, I found out that the death in the family was actually voted on by the public because they did not like this incarnation of Robin. That was interesting and made me really think about the power of asking readers what they want out of the story. It was actually a pretty intense story overall. I am glad I read it, thanks Dad for putting it in my room to read, but it wasn't my favorite.
Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Pretty Girls: A Novel in Books

DNF at 64% (16/05/2016)
I had this on audiobook and I just couldn't get into it. The narrators voices were putting me off throughout and I found myself glazing over the story and thinking of other things while listening to it, meaning I missed half the story really.
I really enjoyed the first 50% but after that I just couldn't get into it. I will buy it in paperback form in the future in order to finish it, but I cannot listen to it anymore.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Heat Rises (Nikki Heat, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
In the middle of bitter cold winter weather, NYPD detective Nikki Heat investigates a case of a priet found dead in a bondage club. This book felt like the best tie in to the TV show yet, and I loved catching all the references to episodes or plot lines. As with the others, it was still over written in parts, but that seems to be getting better.

If you are looking for a lighthearted teen drama then the Greenhouse Academy is for you.
Each episode is only 25 minutes long making it incredibly easy to binge watch (I did two seasons in a day).
The story line can be a bit over the top in places, the special effects and acting can be terrible however I really found it just added to the charm. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can not wait for season 3 to find out who was at the door!!

Chrissie-ann (78 KP) rated The Terror in TV
Jul 16, 2018
The start of this show I really enjoyed, i found it captivating and compelling. It was interesting to see how these men were living on their journey and bits of their back story. Things turn bad for the man ad the show carries on and it seems to reach a high point. And then from there I thought it became slow, boring and tedious. It was a shame because of how well it had started. By the last episode I wasn't in any rush to watch it.

This book is a timeless love story written in a beautiful, lyrical way. The story itself was written from several different perspectives, which was quite easy to follow once I got into it and Lucy Foleys descriptive writing style easily transports you to each seperate setting really well. I found it very easy to get absorbed into the story and was eager to find out how everything was going to unfold. No spoilers, but, although bittersweet, I absolutely loved the ending and thought it was done brilliantly!
