Liberty Boston (93 KP) rated In Front of God and Everybody (Confessions of April Grace #1) in Books
Mar 15, 2021
I received this book as a birthday/graduation gift during a family trip out of state. I'm a very picky person, I don't journey out of my bubble very often when it comes to books because I'm not adventurous (One of the reasons for joining this site actually) but I like a good mystery and the bright text on the back cover painted it as one.
I started it before we left the hotel and finished it on the three-hour plane ride home.
April Grace is utterly hilarious! I believe this is her diary or something but it seems like she's sitting across from you, telling you the story herself! The world-building took me back in time to the 80s, rural Arkansas where these books take place.
I never wanted to leave! The endearing characters and intricately woven plot will pull you in and take you for a joyride

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Tilt-a-Whirl (John Ceepak Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Danny, a seasonal cop in a Jersey shore town, has been partnered with Ceepak, ex-military and very by the book. The two take the call of a murder on the boardwalk's tilt-a-whirl. A billionaire was shot while his daughter was on the ride next to him. Who could have done it? Definitely darker and more graphic than I normally read, the twists and very real characters kept me turning pages. I love this series still, and it's wonderful to see how the characters grow as the series progresses.

Short and Satirical
I really enjoyed this podcast from the Onion. In this, we are listening to "OPR" which styled itself very much like something you would hear on NPR, complete with a fake pledge break about halfway through. I found it by mistake when I looking for a new True Crime podcast to listen to. I was glad I did. The satirical tones were pretty good, and while I generally believe you can't take satire too far, this did have some gags that were a bit much or seemed to drag on to me. Overall, it was well done and very much worth a listen!

Something very different
The whole air around this film was unsettling, I didn't know what was wrong, I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I know there was something out of the ordinary happening. I felt it was a slow burner but I needed to know what was happening. The film exceeded my expectations because I hadn't seen a film with a concept like it before. It did take my breath away. I thought the acting was outstanding. Everyone "appeared" to be normal with the sense that something was very wrong with the situation, this was done on a way that made me believe in the characters.

Characters with different personalities
I picked this book up due to some friends who said it was good. I didn't think much about it until the story sucked me in. I really enjoyed the take the author had on the Heaven versus Hell aspect and how it affects humanity. This book had me wanting to finish it in one sitting. I enjoyed how Brielle and Lincoln seemed to be at each other's throat constantly. Brielle and Shea were my favorite character duos. I found it inspiring on how much Brielle was willing to risk, not just to ensure her freedom but to protect those she cared about. This book held suspense, romance, comedy and lots of action. I found it hard to put down and even more upsetting when my Kindle died. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Netflix and Chill
So I watched this movie for the first time a few weeks after being dumped by my first girlfriend, I was rebounding with this guy that I didn’t really like but he was hot and he wanted to make out with me so I was like, cool, let’s do that. So we go over to his place and he lets me pick the movie. I turn this baby on and we start making out after we get bored of reading the subtitles. After we’re done I go to the restroom and when I come back in the 11 minute long lesbian sex scene is happening before my eyes and I just sit down on the couch and take it in.
It’s iconic, highly recommended for any Netflix and Chill time regardless of the orientation of the couple/group.
