Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Mew Is for Murder (Theda Krakow, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Theda meets her new neighbor, a crazy cat lady, she thinks this might be a good subject for an article. Going back, she finds her neighbor dead. Why was she killed? The characters are good, but the writing and plot were weak. I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Cold Water Corpse (Luanne Fogarty Mysteries, #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A skeleton that Luanne found two years ago becomes part of a current case as Luanne and the sheriff's department start looking for a serial killer that preys on women. Not a serial killer book but a good procedural mystery with characters I enjoy and writing so vivid it puts you there.

The memories of the man who rose from head of advertising for Disneyland in 1955 to become its first president in the late 80's and early 90's. As a Disnerd, I loved this inside look at the park's history, although the writing style could have been a little better.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Killer Cruise (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Jaine has earned herself a free vacation by agreeing to teach memoire writing aboard a cruise ship. But things go from bad (her cat stows away) to worse when someone is murdered on board and Jaine's new friend is accused of the crime. Absolutely hilarious as always with a decent mystery as well.

A woman Callie knows through a charity she volunteers with brings her into another mystery when the woman is accused of killing her boyfriend. Can Callie figure out what really happened? Another fast moving mystery that keeps the pages flying. The writing is still a little rough, although it is getting better.

I liked reading this book much more after having read texts on Woolf's craft of writing like A Letter to a Young Poet and A Room of One's Own. I feel like I appreciate what she was trying to do with the characters much more this time around. If you have the time, I recommend reading it twice: once for the plot and the second for comprehension of what she is doing.

My favourite
I was quite simply blown away when I watched this . The writing is superb by Aaron Sorkin, the chemistry between the three leads along with the supporting cast is outstanding . You are drawn in from the start, no unnessasary scenes, no explosions, no car chases, just great acting, great dialogue. Everytime I watch it, I'm rivited and it always manages to produce the obligatory tear at the end.

A Beautiful Love Story!
The Beach House by Sterling Keyes made me fall in love with reading romance books again! This novella is the perfect summer/beach read... great writing, very relatable characters, and a perfect beach setting. A beautiful love story that pulled me in right from the start! This is the first book in A Shimmer Pointe Series and I'm really looking forward to reading the next book! Highly Recommend this gem!

The series is still going strong
The third book book in the Atlantis Grail series is just as good as the first two with new trials and adventures for the main character, Gwen. The writing is fast paced, and several new fascinating characters are introduced as Gwen must compete for her life, again. While Gwen must overcome obstacles similar to the first book, Nazarian has created new unique situations that are fascinating to read about.

The writing was good, the book definitely kept me entertained and I enjoyed the characters.
I will say that this novel dealt with a dark subject. This book does contain sexual assault, if you're easily triggered, you may want to evaluate if you can read this.
Normally I would give this book a 3 star but I was impressed with how anti-sexual assault this book was. That alone, earned it an extra star.
