Ari Augustine (10 KP) rated Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now in Books
May 4, 2020
It's rare that I pick up a YA Contemporary, but there was something about Tiffany Sly that I couldn't pass up.
This book is about a 16 year old girl whose life is uprooted when she must move in with the father she has never known. To make matters worse, a second man claims to be her father and gives her 7 days to take a DNA test. Tiffany and her father's family are from two different worlds, but what I loved is how they're portrayed - how not a single character is who you thought they were at the beginning of the book.
If you want a book that will give you so many feels with a character who is unbelievably relatable, then this is the book for you. If you want a book that will make you cry and laugh, this book is for you. If you like a cast of complex characters, then you'll love Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now.
I read it in about a day, which is my way of saying this book was amazing!

Not insta-love
"I’ve probably read The Goddess Test trilogy at least five times. I absolutely LOVE these books.
This spin on the Greek gods is amazing. It’s so different and refreshing. In this book, Kate has a big task ahead of her. Passing the seven tests are difficult, but what happens after winning is almost as difficult, if not more so. But let me just say, she has the ability to pass and do well after doing so, she just doesn’t quite believe it herself.
You get to read about a lot of different characters, each one is very different and has their own little quirks and faults. Some of them being Ava- Kates best friend who is a flirty, boy crazy young girl who has a hard time keeping her hands to herself; Calliope- a quiet, obedient servant who shows Kate support; Ella- Kate’s bossy attendant who loves to dress her up in awful dresses; and Diana- Kate’s loving mother who is dying but visits Kate through her dreams."

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2194 KP) rated Mr. Monk Helps Himself (Mr. Monk #16) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Natalie's new self-help guru commits suicide in the middle of a public event, but she's convinced it is murder. Meanwhile, Monk is hired to find the killer of a clown, one of his top 100 phobias. This is going to be the biggest test of their new partnership.
This is the first tie in novel not written by Lee Goldberg, but since Hy was a writer on the show, he already knows the characters. He's picked up from where Lee left off, and fans of the show and the books will love it. Laughs, good mysteries, and great characters.

The Low Outcome
The First Purge- a not nesscary film, a pequel film to the purge franchise and this one, like the first one is boring, nothing happens. Not alot of suspense, thrills and horror. So why borther with this film, dont watch this film.
The plot: To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.
Dont watch this film, its very boring. Watch the 2nd and 3rd one.
