A great binge read

The Dreamers is about a mysterious virus that sweeps through a small college town, and follows a few key characters as they cope with the spreading disease. I really enjoyed following the main characters as they navigated the fear of contracting the disease, when loved ones are effected, and being separated from loved ones. I will say, the ending was kind of disappointing, but I enjoyed the entire book so much that I didn't really mind the lackluster ending.

This is a fantastic small town romance read. You will fall in love with the characters from the first page. This is a fast paced action packed romance, you wont want to put down. This story will suck you in from the first page and keep you reading long into the night. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended

Mar 9, 2018

Gerry Porter is looking forward to seeing her family for Christmas. But soon that takes a back seat when a friend at the retirement home goes missing, only to reappear as the prime suspect in a murder. Can Gerry clear her name? The pacing was uneven, but I just love Gerry, her family, and the small town she lives in.

Feb 13, 2018

The latest (as of mid-2007) in Margaret Maron's enjoyable Deborah Knotts series.

Now married, Deborah and Dwight face several challenges, including a murder Dwight must investigate in their small North Carolina town. While involved in that investigation, the pair find out that Dwight's ex-wife, Jonna (mother of his young son Cal) has gone missing. Dwight -- and eventually Deborah -- must travel to his ex-wife's hometown to search for Jonna, and soon, Cal as well.

Very enjoyable and suspenseful novel.

Shockingly good

I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri after watching it receive a couple of awards. I was not disappointed.

This movie covers some hard topics - the pain a family goes through after the rape and murder of the daughter, the fact that the crime is unsolved, small-town interpersonal relationships, cancer, suicide, but still has the perfect script to make it a dark comedy. The actors all did fantastic jobs. I highly recommend this movie.

A good attempt at a film noir by Dennis Hopper. It's a little slow to begin with, but soon there are plenty of twists along the way. Things heat up when a drifter passes through a small town and sets off a chain of events which will change many lives. This film has a few themes running through it, hot women, American classic cars and some cool Jazz tunes as well. Doesn't seem to be on TV much, catch it when you can.
