Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Hope's Folly (Dock Five Universe, #3) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
As usual, too much romance for my tastes--but the rest made up for it. I keep reading Sinclair's work, even though it is largely romance, because she also has good plots and does a good job with character development. Unlike many authors, each of her main characters is a well-defined individual, not "another good guy" or "another beautiful-yet-insecure woman." There was a touch of beautiful-yet-insecure in Rya Bennton (SUCH an annoying clich@eacute;!), but she got past it.
Some of the things that annoy me the most are, apparently, standard romance memes. Having relationship problems just because nobody will say, "Hey, this is what I want and need, how about you?" is fairly realistic, but I'd love to see SOMEBODY in a book who has grown past that.
Anyway, this was a worthy read, and it does stand alone, but everything will make far more sense if you read the earlier books in the same universe.

I enjoy this era a bit. I kept interest in WWII. I also like the way this book went about differently and how things got complicated between the father and mother of the book. I also like how a romance happened between a white soldier and a black soldier sister. You learn about some of the things going on Civil Rights. You see it though his daughters, their mothers. It really is a good book.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Better Part of Darkness (Charlie Madigan, #1) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
Hmm...I enjoyed some bits of this book, others bored me into skipping entire paragraphs. Also the lack of a love interest annoyed me. I like romance in my books and I think Charlie needed a guy in this.
Not sure if I'll be continuing the series.
P.S. Also since this series doesn't seem to be completed, or being completed anytime soon, that has put me reading any more of the books.

For anyone looking for a fun, historical fiction novel that has just a touch of romance, and even some, adventure, fantasy and horror elements, Sarah M. Eden’s latest novel “The Lady and the Highwayman” set in Victorian London might be just the thing for you. If that sounds interesting, I hope you’ll read my latest #bookreview on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/09/01/three-for-the-price-of-one/
Awix (3310 KP) rated Fiddler on the Roof (1971) in Movies
Feb 22, 2018
Anti-semitic pogroms in the Russian pale don't sound like the stuff of fabulous family entertainment, but this is one of the last truly classic movie musicals. Lovable Jewish milkman Tevye finds the ground shifting under his feet as his daughters begin to reject the husbands he has arranged for them, marry for love, and even consider romance with people of other faiths. Is nothing sacred any more?
Performed with great gusto by a rather eclectic cast, but it's Topol's ebullient performance that carries the movie along, keeping the audience firmly on Tevye's side even when his faith forces him into some harsh choices. Some heartbreakingly lovely songs, although the downbeat trajectory of the movie (opening in a hopeful spring and concluding in a winter of bitter misery) may be slightly off-putting for some. A heartfelt and very moving film.

This really a short. I really do know know if I really liked it. For I did not understand what it really was about. I know it some Romance story but it did not really feel that way. I am not saying any bad about the author who wrote it. I am planing on this a 4 stars for I really do know know really if it derserves that for I do not get the title of the book.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a story about a single dad falling in love. You will fall in love with the characters as you read. This book has lots of romance with some well placed suspense to keep you reading. A fantastic holiday/beach read book. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
