Barbados isn’t on my bucket list of places I would like to visit, but thankfully, Willig gave me a virtual visit through this book. Take a look at my #bookreview of this novel to see if I found this literary vacation a pleasant one or not! https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/06/14/burning-in-barbados/

Natalie is fulfilling a life long dream by opening her bed and breakfast on Maine's Cranberry Island. However, she's hardly settled in when developers appear on the island looking to take over. Then a murder happens. It took me a bit to get into the book, but once I got a feel for the island, I was hooked.

Don't watch this is you have a daughter!
Really enjoyable film although a little slow at the start. It's definitely not an action packed take on the genre but that adds to its charm. Some cracking performances given and an interesting commentary on the world's political stance which was unexpected.

Smart and strategic
My fiance and I went to have a board game night with some friends the other day and were introduced to this game. It didn't take me long to catch on to the rules, and as the game progressed, I started to pick up more on point value and different types of strategy. By the end, I was wanting to start over and play again.

Rolling Stone's 322nd greatest album of all time
More soundtrack music from the Toy Story man. I know that is a little easy to say, but all the songs just sound like that to me. One interesting thing to note was he wrote You Can Leave Your Hat On, later made famous by Joe Cocker and again by Tom Jones, albeit very different versions to Newman's take on it.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Absolute Boyfriend, Vol. 1 in Books
Sep 5, 2019
3.5 stars.
Initially I had a little trouble getting into the story but the more I read, the more I liked it. The storyline was a little crazy but I've grown to like Night. He really is being the Absolute Boyfriend.
To me, it's obvious that the next door neighbour likes our girl, but she's being a bit oblivious at the minute.
And then that last page! Her "friend" of all people!
It has definitely made me intrigued enough to carry on the series. It's only in 6 parts so I wouldn't think it would take me too long to finish it. BUT I have a few other things on the go right now, so I may wait until I've finished those to carry on with it.

The humor (1 more)
It didn't take itself to seriously
About what I expected - It made me laugh.
Take Baywatch (2017) for what it is. It is a movie based on a bad - though much loved - TV show from the 80s and 90s. This is not some huge dramatic movie. It is not supposed to be Johnson's or Efron's chance at an Oscar run. It is just a fun movie. I enjoyed it. There are some very funny moments and the cameos from The Hoff and Pam Anderson were perfect.
