TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Marisol: Spanish Rose (Charleston Brides #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
This story was such a unique combination of different cultures and historical facts.
Elva Cobb Martin wrote a story that combines rich Spanish history, travel on the high seas (PIRATES!), the American indentured, murder, romance and God’s will in our lives. The main characters Ethan and Marisol had interesting backstories that made them stronger. They were a cute couple to get to know, although at first, I was not sure where Elva Cobb Martin was taking them. By then end of the book I genuinely liked the characters and felt happy with the conclusion to the story

David McK (3557 KP) rated Some Like It Hot (1959) in Movies
Jan 8, 2021
Classic Billy Wilder comedy farce, starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis (doing his Carey Grant impersonation), with the latter two playing down on their luck musicians who witness a mafia murder during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s and hatch a plan to escape Chicago by joining an all-girl band (enter Monroe) in drag in order to escape.
Full of sizzling one liners/repartee such as:
"Water Polo? Isn't that awfully dangerous? "
"I'll say. I had two horses drown under me..."
(I think it was 2)
and who can forger the final line of the film ("nobody's perfect")!

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated The Sinner (Rizzoli & Isles, #3) in Books
Sep 2, 2019
Rizzoli & Isles are Back
A murder investigation based on the the death of a nun, and one in a critical condition, inside the walls of their convent. The nuns were brutally and savagely attacked, and Rizzoli & Isles were called to the scene to figure things out.
In this well written novel you can expect some twists and turns, some surprising moments and an in depth view behind the facades of these two strong females.
The third in the series did not disappoint.

What the...?
You make me happy--I pretty much danced--at the half way point and then by the end I want to strangle Kou! What are you doing to me!?
As you can see I'm getting emotionally involved in this story.
Kou, you really are an arse! Why can't you be nice to Futaba for once! It's obvious she likes you, you dimwit!
At the rate this is going I'll be ready to do murder... And cheer Futaba on if she ever bothers to see the other guy as a romantic interest.
Ugh! Off to start #7
