Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2277 KP) rated The Chocolate Book Bandit (A Chocoholic Mystery, #13) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Lee sits in on a library board meeting, but the missing member is found murdered at the bottom of the basement stairs. The woman was quiet, and everyone seemed to like her. So why was she murdered?
These books are always light and fun, and this is no exception. I do wish we'd see more of the sizeable collection of supporting characters, but Lee is always a fun host to a fast paced puzzle that will leave you drooling for chocolate and the next book.

Twists all over the place!
An amazingly twisty thriller! I read it quickly, because I just couldn't stop. I needed to know what would happen next.
The plot as we know it going in:
There are three things you should know about me:
1. I'm in a coma.
2. My husband doesn't love me any more.
3. Sometimes I lie.
That's really all I needed to suck me in. And it's all I'll tell you, so you can enjoy the story for yourself without any pre-knowledge. I thought it was well-written, and well done. I've heard rumors that there may be a sequel - I am on board for that!

Ok
Contains spoilers, click to show
This movie was just "ok" across the board-the acting, cinematography, story. Nothing flashy or anything about it. It played out well enough and kept me interested to the end. True crime fans will enjoy this low budget drama/thriller about a girl who gets caught up in some small town crime by getting lost on a bank country road. It was listed under horror, but there's really nothing "horror" about it. The main character is a pretty smart woman so her survival isn't exactly surprising. If you're looking for a decent movie to keep you occupied on a rainy day this one is worth a watch.

Charlotte Ozanne (108 KP) rated Arkham Horror: The Card Game in Tabletop Games

Arkham Horror: The Card Game is a very good game... for people who consider themselves avid board gamers. There is a lot to learn, such as the flow of the gameplay, what each type of card does, keeping tally of your skills, etc. If you are willing to knuckle down and stumble through your first attempt at the game, then the story is quite good and is worth the hassle. Otherwise, there is a lot to learn and get your head around. My partner and I really enjoyed playing this game and are looking forward to buying the expansions.

Easy to set up. And easy to play. (1 more)
Build quality is very good.
Fun family/kids game
Loopin' Louie was bought for our boys from an avid board game player. The idea is to knock each other's chickens off the roof tops of their coupe's, you knock them off using Louis's airplane that spins in the centre of the game. You have to defend your chickens by flipping Louis in the air making him do some terrific aerial manoeuvres, and hopefully knocking off chickens from an opponent roof top. A great giggle of a game.

Quacks is brilliant
An enjoyable game with a nice theme. The game play is quick and fun with multiple strategies available.
I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to boardgames, but I still enjoyed the risk factor of removing an extra ingredient just to move further around your swirling board... Even if it did regularly end in my potion exploding.
