Great writing
Good chemistry amongst the cast
I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?
One of my all time favorite shows. This show should have never ended. I love the smart quips, and the chemistry that the cast had together. At least when the show ended it didn't leave any gaps and made me happy. Who doesn't like ruggedly handsome Rick Castle? I know I sure do :)

Pirate fever has taken over Warner Pier, but when a body turns up, Lee realizes things aren't all fun and games any more. The book started out feeling very scattered, but once things settled down, I really got into the story. And, everything tied together nicely in the end.

Searching for missing woman and working undercover in the sweat shops of 1901 New York is enough to keep Molly very busy. Can she find the woman while also forming an early union? The historical detail, characters, and plot all come together for a great book.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Dominion in Tabletop Games

Dominion
Dominion
2008 | Card Game, Medieval
This remains to be my favorite Tabletop game. The playability is definitely there. I have played countless rounds and I haven't played the same game twice. The only issue I have with this game is that I have a friend who knows exactly what cards work well together to chain the perfect deck and ends up getting too far ahead, far too quickly, for the rest of us to catch up.
  
The Deer Hunter (1978)
The Deer Hunter (1978)
1978 | Drama, War
I have to say I think this is way over hyped! Waaaay too long at 3 hours I'm sure it could be cut to 2 hours and not miss much. Compared to some more recent war films, this looks a little dated now. It's ok, great actors, good cinematography. The way it charts the friends lives together before, during and after the war is good, but far from a great film.

A documentary on how World War II affected the area leads to a mystery from the past. Then the director disappears and Evan suspects foul play. Is he right? The way the mysteries of the past and present weave together is brilliant. And the characters are great as always.

Uplifting
Marin is lonely, she’s drowning in it. Her friend (maybe more) Mabel tries to save her from her loneliness. As the story goes alone we piece together a past Marin was unable to face. It was really interesting how inactive the actual sequence of events were, but it remained engaging through sporadically having flashbacks to Marin’s past.
Lovely story, kinda gay, depression and anxiety present and discussed.

History isn’t everything
Adam Silvera is a really good author if you want a YA gay realistic fiction with a twist.
In this heartbreaking endeavor, the twist is that our main character is addressing the entire novel to his dead first love, using “you” throughout the “Today” sections to speak directly to him. Silvera plays with time and pieces together the mystery of Theo and Griff’s past beautifully.
