Welcome 2 Jumanji
I’ll keep this short. Jumanji 2 wasn’t needed. It was enjoyable, but not necessary. It had its moments, after they got into the game, and it was surprisingly funny, but it still wasn’t needed.
Look out for the Robin Williams tribute, it’s a blink and you’ll miss kinda thing. Just turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is, which is more of a Nickelodeon movie than a Jumanji movie. Basically, it’s what I expected “Legends of The Hidden Temple” to be like.
All of that being said, I did enjoy it, so I’m rating it rather high. If you loved the old Jumanji, there’s enough nostalgia that you’ll love this one, but not so much that it shoves it down your throat either.

Racy in that yes the main character is a prostitute there are sex scenes. The book opens with her at work. The scenes are tame, Lindskold gives just enough information for you to fill in the blanks as wanted, so no porn on paper.
The characters have real reactions. Although sometimes you feel like "oh this is now happening or when did this happen?" exspecially when it comes to Clarence and Smokey's relationship.
I think Bonny's nicknamesare cute however some people may not feel the same.
There are gay and lesbian characters (normally I won't say but I have a friend that wanted to.know of more books that had such characters)
Plus my favorite scene is Smokey dancing with Fox.

To be fair, I honestly couldn't tell you half of what happened in this book. I do know that the world building is absolutely phenomenal, but the main character is extremely annoying and unlikable. Every time she did something I just had to roll my eyes and trudge through the rest of the chapter. Actually, most of the characters are unlikable and so wishy washy I couldn't tell where they stood half the time. Supposedly that's part of the plot but that doesn't really sit well with me as an excuse.
This book took me longer than usual to finish and I have to say that I have not one desire to read the next book.
I'd like to give this book one star but I can't because despite the crap characters the world makes up for it.

Charley joins a book club in the hope that making friends with the towns elite will drum up business for her clothing store. She finds that she isnt really fitting in with the Agathas, as the members are known, but sticks with it anyway. It isnt long, however, before murder victims start turning up arranged just like the victims in the novels that the book club is reading. Charley manages to use her status as a member of the club to convince a detective to let her help with the investigation, but puts her own life in danger in the process.
This is a fun start to a new series with a great main character cozy fans will love it!

For me, this book could easily have been 150 plus pages shorter than it was. The fact the climax to the story happens almost 100 pages (I'm guessing here as I listened to the audio version, so estimating based on percentage and Goodreads page count) before the actual end is testimony to that. It just felt like it needed more editing. Sadly, for me this made it the weakest of the series, as I ended up getting lost as to my position in the plot, abs felt the characters got diluted due to the size of the plot. For me, the strength of the series were the characters and the dynamics between them, but they got shifted around so much that all of that was lost. It's a shame, because it really should have ended on a high!

An erotic ride....
Two for Tuesday is an erotic, very sensual story. Not only does it draw you into a heady sexual relationship but it highlights the differences between different social backgrounds.....Mel being a more country girl and Marcus being from the city.
Colour is only really referred to once or so, the cheeky stereotype.....which Mel clears up by saying she's gone back and forth over that line haha.
I like both characters, though Marcus was a tad needy, but it didn't make it any less enjoyable......just more realistic.
Bit of a spoiler......it gives hope that things can happen/get back on track after years apart. Also that sexual chemistry can't always be worn out!!
Definitely an adult only read.....to be read alone as it gets pretty hot and very detailed!

Superior movie that still sets the gold standard for recent-fact-based-drama and heroic-journalists-investigate-corruption movies. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are assigned to what looks like just a weird break-in at the Watergate offices of the Democratic party, but discover a trail that ultimately incriminates some very big names indeed.
Proof that you can make a gripping thriller without actually including a single car chase or fist-fight; much of the film is people on the telephone making notes, but it's still a captivating story. Solid performances, decent structure, perhaps lacks a big climax, but you can see its influence on many other acclaimed films since (The Post and Spotlight are cut from the same cloth, and in the former case features some of the same figures). And yet Rocky still won the Oscar. Conspiracy!!!
