I remember the original Power Rangers television show that first premiered when I was 5 years old (Pink Ranger 4 life). I had such high hopes for it, because the trailer made it look amazing. It was a little all over the place and had plenty of WTF moments. I found the product placement really distracting. Rita Repulsa needed a Krispy Kreme prior to trying to destroy the world?!?! I think it spent a little too long setting up the whole story, and this movie was over 2 hours long.

This bind up of the 3 P.L.A.I.N Jane comics was very enjoyable. I liked the narrative of each story, I liked the theme was carried throughout each addition. The P.L.A.I.N Janes, Janes in Love and Janes attack. I also liked that in the 3rd installment it felt like it had reached a conclusion. The art was good each addition was in a different color so that whole book was either blue, pink or green it could have used a few different colors but it helped to not distract from the message of the story.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Girl in the Pink Shoes (Lucy Kendall #1) in Books
Feb 12, 2023
This is the first book in the Lucy Kendall series and the first by Stacy Green I have either read or listened to and it certainly won't be the last.
Lucy has her demons from her childhood as well as the ones she carries from her previous work in Child Protection Services and now she is a private investigator but with a secret - exacting her own punishment against those who have managed to escape justice for the heinous crimes they have perpetrated against children so when 8 year old Kailey goes missing on her way home from school, Lucy doesn't waste any time getting involved but what she discovers is shocking.
With excellent, strong characters, an upsetting but plausible story line with some great unexpected twists, The Girl in the Pink Shoes is a great start to a series. I grew to like Lucy and her band of helpers and I look forward to seeing where things go for her in future books.
The narration was understated and perfect - Amelia Sciandra did a great job and kept my interest and the story moving along nicely and my thanks to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Girl in the Pink Shoes.

Suffering from CFS I can partially relate to the people featured in this documentary, their daily struggles, how it affects people around them and the support they get. It also makes you realise that however bad you feel personally, there are people out there who are suffering in ways you cannot even begin to imagine.
It isn't an easy documentary to watch and certainly isn't a rainbows and pink unicorns film, don't watch if you want some light entertainment, but highly recommended for information...

First, can I just say that I LOVE this cover? I am honestly not even sure why as pink is not my color. But it pulled me in and made me want to read the book (great job to whoever designed it!). This is my first time reading a book by Betsy St. Amant and it will probably not be the last.
Based on the description I was expecting something a little romance, some yummy desserts, and to learn to see something in the unexpected. I did all of that, just not the way I expected to

A Light & Easy Read
“Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop” by Rebecca Raisin is a lovely, light read. When you have just discovered that you have a husband who is a cheat, what a wonderful way to start life over by going travelling in a camper-van. I thought it was great that Rosie made herself some new friends along the way, as well as earning some money at music and food festivals.
I delighted in this quirky, fun story. There were many laugh-out-loud moments and it was wonderful getting to meet all of the characters, although I did not particularly have a favourite.
I especially loved the idea of owning a pink camper-van like Rosie’s, and a fuchsia pink one at that - so unique and off-the-wall. Also worth a mention are some of the references to delicious culinary delights such as the spotted dick, and the Turkish delight butter-cream cupcakes or some of the more suspect ones like the wheat-grass smoothie or the Dijon tofu.
This fantastic book has left me keen to go touring and travelling and I strongly recommend giving this wonderfully uplifting romantic story a whirl!
