Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Reviving Izabel (In the Company of Killers, #2) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
DNF at 30%.
The author lost me between chapters 10 and 11. And to think I loved the first one...
Sarai came across as very annoying and whiney to me, which in a way reminded me of Bray from SOTF (Song of the Fireflies) which isn't a good thing for me as I didn't like it, and considering I thought she was really brave and strong in the first one has let me down.
I bought this so I could figure out how it would play out and end but I have to say I cant find any enthusiasm for it now. It may be because I've gone off NA or it could be that the style wasn't gelling with me.

Spielberg has said on record many times that taking this job was one of the worst decisions of his career. He shouldn’t be so hard on himself though as for the most part, The Lost World is great fun.
The characters are fleshed out more and the special effects are once again top-notch but there’s a spark from the first film that’s notable by its absence. Things pick up through the much-maligned finale in San Diego but the franchise began to take a tumble only halted 18 years later…

I have no personal experience of Alzheimer's but Moore's portrayal of an intelligent woman losing her words, forgetting where rooms are in her own home and even not recognising one of her daughters was utterly heartbreaking.
I believe there could've been a far better ending than Kirsten Stewart's character reading a monologue from a play. I am completely unfamiliar with the play "Angels in America" and to me it seemed like they only chucked that in to get the line "Nothing's lost for ever" in. After an intense and unsettling ride through the movie the ending certainly let it down.

https://travelingwife4life.wordpress.com/2020/06/30/a-bride-of-convenience-book-review/
This is my first time reading a book by Jody Hedlund (I can hear the gasps of some of you even now), but it is the truth. For some reason, I have just never picked up a book by her. A Bride of Convenience is the third book in her Bride Ships series, I was not lost at all, so the book can be read at a standalone. However, I liked this one so much I ordered the first two books already and I am eagerly anticipating their arrival

Christine A. (965 KP) rated The Lovely and the Lost in Books
Jun 17, 2019
Original title: Lost Causes
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.
The Lovely and the Lost is the first novel I read by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Considering she published almost 30 novels in genres I often read, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and Young Adult, that is surprising.
In it, we are introduced to the Bennett family. Cady, the mother, is one of the best search and rescuers who also trains search and rescue dogs. Her son is Jude and her adopted daughter, Kira, was found by Cady in the woods many years ago. Rounding out the family is Phoebe, who prefers to be called Free, the 3rd in the teen's close-knit trio. The story focuses on a search and rescue and gives some detail on how to tray search and rescue dogs. All of the teens work with the dogs and are training to be search and rescuers.
The Young Adult novel is well thought out and well-written. The characters are flawed, show their limitations, their strengths, and feel real. While it would be enjoyable for all readers of YA, I feel middle school students would enjoy it the most.
I will definitely read one of Jennifer Lynn Barnes's series. As of 6/17/19, Goodreads lists 7 series.
