A really good book
This book was actually a good read. I was a bit skeptical when I found out it was a vampire story. However, it was very well done. It did not go over the top with the focus on vampires, it did not totally steer away from the plot like other vampire based books recently. It is not some cheesy teen drama with vampires book. It was a book with a bit of romance in places, a bit of vampire-centricity in others, and a lot of action, and a nice concise story. It did leave some questions hanging which really ruins the immersion, but you can look past them and enjoy the book. The next one looks really cool, and I will be reading that in the future.

I was a little hesitant about this book as at first I thought it might be a another overly christian based mystery with a lot of bible references (since the main character is a reverend). Well that is not the case with this mystery. Lindsay is a not your average reverend! This is a true cozy mystery for any fan of the genre and will have you liking Lindsay from the moment the character jumps on the page.

Atwood is the queen of thought-provoking, witty writing.

Stone Mattress is a collection of 9 stories based on old people. There is a mixed bag of characters from an author of a fantasy series to a disembodied hand that is madly in love.

All the stories in the book feature the characters looking back on their lives.

I really enjoyed the stories which had themes of romance, horror and brilliantly executed wit.

Movie Rating Watch
Very dull
It's in such a rush to get to the point where it can be a tragic love story, with our two young lovers on the run, that the movie completely forgets about plausibility and doesn't give us any time to believe in any of the feelings and emotions being experienced. I haven't read the book that this awful movie is based on but I can imagine that it goes into much needed detail a lot more than this does.

Informative but far too long
Listened on Audible.
While I loved the concept of raising awareness for dementia sufferers and how frustrating it can be to lose oneself, listening to this gave me a bit of a headache as it was far too long. This is definitely better as a book and not for Audible - you lose track of the Maud's meandering. And while it is based on the tragic circumstances of her sister's disappearance - I actually ended up losing focus over who she was actually talking about after a while. A good effort.
