Swim for it

A master diver/rescuer for the coast guard Ben Randall (Costner) has an accident at sea and is asked to teach A school cadets (Coast Guard enlistees) the right and wrong ways to save someone and survival skills. A cadet Jake Fischer (Kutcher) has a troubled past from a small town and is a world class swim champ is arrogant and is put to the test by Randall. Will he have to swim for it or be a fish out of water.

A good look into the way Coast Guard divers/rescuers are trained and what they have to endure. The story line is pretty good and the movie dosen't have a dull moment

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2340 KP) rated Revenge on Route 66: A Tracy Eaton Mystery in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Tracy is planning to introduce her husband Drew to the pleasures that are Route 66. But when a family friend is murdered in a small New Mexico town, they find themselves having to solve a mystery 30 years old to find out why he died now.

These books are always wacky capers, and this is no exception. The mystery is well plotted, but Tracy's antics are a blast the entire way through. A perfect light mystery for any road trip.

And keep an eye out for a character named Mark Baker.

Cumberland (1142 KP) rated A Fool's Gold Christmas (Fool's Gold, #9.5) in Books

Fun Christmas Read

This is a great book for anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit. The plot is much like that for your typically Hallmark movie, and I for one love it.
Evie is a dancer who finds herself in the small town of Fools Gold after she is injured. The story follows her as she reconnects with her family, and fights against her attraction for the boy next door.
This is technically part of a series, but you do not need to be familer with the other books to enjoy it. I do want to read the other books as soon as possible now. Mostly in hopes of my favorite characters making an appearance.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Read on Arrival: A Bookmobile Mystery in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of Read on Arrival from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

In the small town of Catalpa Springs, Georgia a vile woman has kept a library book for over 40 years.
She tries to mend her ways but dies.
Enter Cleo Watkins runner of a bookmobile who is basically trying to save her library from being turned into a...I'm not even sure what.
The character interactions are great even though the beginning seems to be people sniping at each other, the book does a lot of showing not telling in regards to character traits.
I really enjoyed this one and actually didn't guess the murderer!

Ross (3284 KP) rated American Horror Story - Season 4 in TV

Utterly messed up

After a disappointing teen-angst third series, AHS got back to its best in this series. A truly twisted but generally likable cast of misfits interact wonderfully to give a glimpse into the treatment of travelling freakshows in small-town America. The ring-mistress' desire for fame weighed up against the freaks' desire for mere acceptance adds a delicious conflict that bears fruit in every episode. Meanwhile the freaks are being hunted by someone looking to sell their body parts to a museum, and Twisty the clown is getting frustrated with his unwilling audience's lack of appreciation for his terrifying yet mediocre act.
Thrilling, despicable and horrific in equal measure.
