Rickey A. Mossow Jr. (689 KP) rated Isn't It Romantic (2019) in Movies
May 21, 2019
Fun (yet muddled) film with a good message.
Like its obvious cousin I Feel Pretty, Isn't It Romantic has a message to give its audience. From the opening scene, you know what that message is and where this story is going. And that's the point. While some of the jokes don't quite land and the movie seems to run just a bit longer in spots than necessary, Rebel Wilson does her usual comedic best to carry the film. A final twist plainly smacks the viewer with the moral of the film and finally concludes predictably. While muddled in spots, love the message of the film and had some fun.

Simply Enchanting
"Look with your heart. Look with your mind."
I just finished reading WinterDream and I'll start by saying that author Chantal Gadoury is truly gifted as her fairy tales are always created with a magic spell that captivates me from beginning to end. This storyline was beautifully flawless and her characters leaped out of the pages and invited me into the magical world of WinterDream were I felt all the emotions that were written on each page and fell further in love with the Nutcracker.
If you are looking for an immersive holiday tale then look no further as this story is simply enchanting

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Titanic (1997) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019 (Updated Jun 10, 2019)
Titanic was an absolute breakthrough for director James Cameron, swooping 11 Oscars at the 1998 awards. To this day, it remains the third highest grossing film of all time, recently pushed down from second by Avengers: Endgame. Starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, a lot has been said about the film’s over reliance on the central love triangle.
Watching it again over 20 years later still showcases Titanic’s incredible special effects, emotional plot and stunning cinematography and sound design. This disaster film is the biggest of all time and it’s easy to see why, despite the, at times, flabby story.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Operation Sex Kitten (San Diego Social Scene, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I enjoyed the older guy/younger girl characters.. I enjoyed the writing and the storyline. There was a lot of sexyness in this story. There was a lot of happiness and sadness. The characters were relatable and made me smile. For the most part it was a very light read. It had a bit of angst but not much so it was a nice break from the more hardcore stories. It wasn't all sex which was also nice. I enjoyed the sex along with the romance. I love how they grow together even though he is older but he grows with her. It was wonderful
ArecRain (8 KP) rated Inked Expressions (Montgomery Ink, #7) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I voluntary reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
I am hard pressed to find anything Carrie Ann Ryan writes that I dont enjoy. I am not a fan of contemporary romance but I know that Ryan rarely, if ever, disappoints. Inked Expressions has everything you come to love from a Ryan contemporary romance: characters with more depth than the Grand Canyon, a storyline as entertaining as it is romantic, and lets not leave out the steamy scenes between a couple youll root for from page one. Not to mention it is a friends to lovers story which is hands down one of my favorite tropes.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated The Ninth Daughter (Abigail Adams #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Abigail Adams is going to visit a friend, but her friends isn't home and there's a dead woman on her floor. Who is this woman? When John is accused of the crime, Abigail starts trying to clear her husband. Meanwhile, some tea has just sailed into Boston harbor…. I love Revolutionary era history, so I wanted to like this book. However, it let the detail of life during that time slow down the pace of the story. And the plot that was here was highly predictable.

Amanda Mahaffey (3 KP) rated Where Hope Begins in Books
Mar 15, 2018
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This book had a lot of good turns and twist in the plot. Some of the things that happened I wasnt expecting but it was very exciting to see how everything worked out in the end. This book was all about forgiveness, 7second chances, bravery, family, and love. The different characters were great and well written. Each of them have there own story that winds them together. Savannah world gets shaken in a way she never expected it. This book made me tear up a couple of times.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Between Good And Evil in Books
Feb 21, 2018
I love a mystery that wastes no time with setup and has me in suspense from page 1, and Between Good and Evil did just that. It took a bit to catch on to what was happening in Auburn Notch, but thats not a bad thing. The reader is left to piece things together as the story unfolds just as the characters are, and there is a lot going on. The characters are well formed and the descriptions very detailed. This was a good first installment, and Ill be watching for more Promise Flynn.
NOTE: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

ashezbookz (32 KP) rated The Program (The Program, #1) in Books
Jul 5, 2018
While this book had some certain tropes in it (hello love triangle) - and it definitely would have some trigger warnings, a few times I was shocked at what I read, not necessarily in a bad way - but some people may actually have issues with this book if they're super sensitive.
the whole suicide epidemic was quite an interesting story to read (granted that right there should trigger people - hey don't read this book) - the whole lobotomy after getting into the program was intense too - though wickedly fun to read about.
i'm very very curious to see where this series goes.....luckily I checked them all out from the library!
