David McK (3796 KP) rated Logan (2017) in Movies
Jan 24, 2019 (Updated Jan 21, 2022)
Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart's last(?) (or so they say) outing as Wolverine and Professor Xavier respectively, this is a violent and bloody R-rated stand-alone that owes more to classic Westerns (in particular Shane) than to any of the other X-men movies to date.
Very loosely based in the Old Man Logan graphic novels, in that it follows an aging Wolverine in a future society following an undisclosed disaster, with that about all it takes from those stories.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Lean Mean Thirteen (Stephanie Plum, #13) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
The 13th book sees the return on Dickie Orr as a main character in the series. Maybe I shouldn't say return, Dickie has been mentioned & appeared in several of the previous PLum novels, but in this one he is front & center. Dickie is unknowingly involved in a drug smuggling, gun running, money laundering business that is fronted by his law firm. As usual Stephanie pulls herself into the mix in a strange way & eventually finds herself being chased by mafioso armed with flame throwers.
Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Jefferson Key (Cotton Malone, #7) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
This was another good Steve Berry book. I have yet to read a book by Berry that I have not completely enjoyed. He never disappoints! I have to say though that The JeffersonKey was not his best book. Iovd that it was based in the U.S. and its history. It was afascinatiing story, but it took me longer to really get sucked ib to this story than it usually does with his novels. It is still a very satisfying, intriguing read and is not to be missed.

I love this series! And as much as I love Jace and Clary's story, I was a little bit hesitant to start a new trilogy because I wasn't sure if I would still be as invested. I have to say, I love Emma and Julian. When we first introduced to them, they were so young and I wasn't sure if there story would capture like all the precious novels. I absolutely loved this book and I can't read the next book in Emma and Julian' s story!!
Billie Wichkan (118 KP) rated Love's Second Chance Series Box Set One in Books
Mar 15, 2019
This collection has 4 wonderful full-length novels. Each one has a character that has appeared before and all these can be read as a standalone also. The author is truly gifted and she describes love in a beautiful clean way. Her stories are all intriguing and gripping. The characters are well developed and have appeared previously which is lovely to see and follow.
I highly recommend these to be read.
I received the box set from the novelist herself but this is my honest opinion.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Illuminae: The Illuminae Files: Book 1 in Books
Feb 1, 2018
The layout of this book was so unique - rather than a straight narrative, you were able to experience the story through short bursts via IM chats, 3rd-party observations while transcribing security video, and AI logs. The characters developed over the course of the novel, but it was surprisingly the artificial intelligence A.I.D.E.N. that stole the show. It was an enjoyable story and the plot wasn't predictable. I highly recommend the book to fans of young adult/teen novels, science fiction and truly well thought out narratives.
