The Lady of the Ravens ( Queens of the Tower book 1)
By Joanna Hickson
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Elizabeth of York, her life already tainted by dishonour and tragedy, now queen to the first Tudor king, Henry the VII.
Joan Vaux, servant of the court, straining against marriage and motherhood and privy to the deepest and darkest secrets of her queen. Like the ravens, Joan must use her eyes and her senses, as conspiracy whispers through the dark corridors of the Tower.
Through Joan’s eyes, The Lady of the Ravens inhabits the squalid streets of Tudor London, the imposing walls of its most fearsome fortress and the glamorous court of a kingdom in crisis.
It was good. I enjoyed it but got slightly bored towards the end. I’m a huge fan of the Tudors and liked reading this adaptation of the start of their reign. It was a decent read.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2470 KP) rated Mew Is for Murder (Theda Krakow, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Theda meets her new neighbor, a crazy cat lady, she thinks this might be a good subject for an article. Going back, she finds her neighbor dead. Why was she killed? The characters are good, but the writing and plot were weak. I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2470 KP) rated Stalking the Puzzle Lady (Puzzle Lady #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cora has a problem. One of her many fans is stalking her, but she doesn't know who it is. And when he turns to murder, things really get out of hand. As always, I found parts of the book laugh out loud funny while other parts were highly suspenseful. If only the endings were stronger.

Bree (30 KP) rated Killing Eve in TV
Jan 2, 2019
Loving a lady assasin
I was extremely skeptical when I started watching this show. I did not have a ton of background information on what it was about. I was hooked almost immediately. Both the detective and the assasin are smart asses which also makes the drama very funny. Definately worth a watch.
Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated A Star Is Born (2018) in Movies
Jul 5, 2020
Amazing performance by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Wonderful story about the life as a famous person and the toll it can have on a human being. And finally - the importance to always stay true to who you are, and tell the world your story in your own words. They will listen, and some will stay, some will go, but at least you won't have the burden to try and please the wrong crowd.
