graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated A Christmas Baby (Rogues Club, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
A nice close to the Rogue series, if, and I hate be redundant, a bit unoriginal. The characters were nice, there were some funny moments, and the plot was good, but it didn't touch me like other romances do. However, I did like the whole Christmas thing at the end, it was cute if rather saccharine.
One of my main problems was that this series must have the worst editors. In all four books there are missing quotation marks, sentences that aren't clear, and misspelled/or forgotten words. I would hope that these would be minimal.

Invaluable to running my store
I have been using this app ever since i opened my etsy store last year.
It has helped me to keep on top of orders, easily view upcoming dispatch dates and quickly view what funds are available for transfer.
The app is updated regularly and additional features are added. However, the kerching sound that is supposed to happen when an order comes through has been missing for some time following a previous update.

Mar 9, 2018
Turing Hopper is the first sentient Artificial Intelligence Personality. The only person who knows the truth is her creator, but when he goes missing, Turing does what she can to track him down, pulling in two additional humans to be her legs.
The creativity in this book is wonderful. Turing is such a human character you can't help but love her, and the author makes great use of the characters to tell an unique story. Definitely worth tracking down.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2402 KP) rated Evan Blessed (Constable Evans, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
It's two weeks before Evan's wedding, and he's focusing on the family dynamics this is unleashing. Then a young woman goes missing, and Evan gets involved in the hunt. Can he find her and keep peace in his family? It's always nice to visit these characters. The plot did bog down a bit in the middle, but the characters noticed and commented on the lack of progress as well. And about that point, things picked up again and raced to the finish.

An appreciated recommendation
I was told to watch this by someone one reddit, I didn't really know what I was expecting. At first I thought the acting was slightly poor and felt uneasy from the beginning but couldn't figure out way. As the movie went on things really escalated and by the end of it I was quite honestly blown away with it. I'm still not exactly sure of what happened, I may be over thinking it or missing something important. But it was a brilliant film, not for the faint hearted but not your typical gory, bloody horror.

Cindy Gerard really does know how to write military romance. I really do love her writing but I felt like there is something missing with this series. The writing is good, I always am enraptured by the characters but it just doesn't have the quality of her other military/special ops series.
With that said, I really liked this book. I felt that it was a little slower paced but all in all, the characters were well written and the plot was interesting. I wish that it help my attention more but it was a good read.

Lee (2222 KP) rated Searching (2018) in Movies
Sep 15, 2018
The search for a missing daughter unfolds before our eyes on a computer screen, pulling together clues and information from social media and messaging services. While there have been a couple of decent horror movies recently employing this method of storytelling, none of them have been as effective as this. Edge of seat, intense drama with a few twists and turns towards the end. This may have gripped me a lot more than it normally would, as I have a daughter in her early teens, just starting to build an online life of her own, but wow this movie was amazing!

I cannot stop the story from spinning in my mind still. I have been stewing over this read for the past hour or so. I love her storytelling. Her descriptions make you feel like you are truly there and can nearly feel the breeze blowing off the lake into your window... or her writing would make you think you can. I cannot get enough of this writer. I have read Never Knowing and now this one, Still Missing and I am pre-ordering her next book due out in June. I couldn't put this book down. I just love these thrillers.

Campy 80s goodness
I love movies like this in my basement alone the Saturday night before Halloween!
When a bunch of teenagers start coming up missing, the authorities are baffled. Who could be responsible? It couldn't be the mysterious Virginia could it?
The death scenes are kind of what an 80s version of a Final Destination film would look like I think. The main star is Melissa Sue Anderson who must have wanted to break stereotype while filing Little House on the Prairie s she played the bad girl this time.
Thoroughly enjoyable film.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Firestorm (Weather Warden, #5) in Books

I quite enjoyed the first Weather Warden book ("Ill Wind").
The second ("Heat Stroke") was even better
Unfortunately, the third, and then the fourth ("Chill Factor" and "Windfall", respectively) were a bit of a let-down.
Thankfully, this is a return to form: picking up almost exactly from the end of "Windfall", this is faster-moving than it's predecessor, more engaging and more action-packed.
R.E.M. sang it best: "It's the end of the world as we know it ..." (even if, for some inscrutable reason, that track is missing from the authors' own suggestion of what to listen to while reading)
