Ok to start, but quickly becomes algorithmic
I recommend playing this game at a board game cafe, it's fun for a while but eventually becomes easy to win without a lot of strategy. Not worth spending the money on IMO.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated The Calamity Café (Down South Café Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Amy Flowers is ready to follow her dream of opening her own cafe, and she’s hoping to do it by buying the local greasy spoon. However, Lou Lou, the owner, is not at all interested in selling. Amy stops by the cafe late one night and finds Lou Lou dead in her office. Naturally, Amy knows she has a good motive. Can she clear her name?
This is a fun start to a new series. The book focuses a bit on Amy starting her café early on, but the mystery begins to be the focus as we gear up toward the logical climax. Some of the characters could have been stronger, but I still came to care for them before the book ended, and I look forward to getting to know them better as the series progresses.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Reading a Maeve Binchy book is so comforting. Like outside a cafe drinking strong coffee people-watching. This collection of stories is packed with insightful glimpses into people, women particularly and what makes them tick. There is often a thread running through the stories about wisdom and folly. Sometimes the stories got a little repetitive, but a sweet read.

Furistas Cat Cafe
This is a very simple game that consists in taking care of a cafe that is cat friendly. It was inspired by a coffee shop in japan where customers go to cuddle cats while drinking tea or coffee.
In the game, you simply match a Cat with a customer, that will give you hearts (with the hearts you can level up your cats), you do Batista missions (clean a dirty floor, give customers food and drinks, or give a Cat attention) that will give you coins, you only have 3 missions per day. You also have events that will give you special baskets (where money, hearts and other things to help you level up come from) or special furniture for you to decorate your room. Every time you level up you’ll receive a new cat as well!
It’s a very simple relaxing game.

Good skits
Great characters
Interesting story
Great innuendos
Kevin Hart and Will Pharrell work really well together, although Kevin Hart looks so small in comparison.
The story is clever with some really funny over the top parts. I absolutely loved the gay cafe scene, really tickled me.
Just generally all round funny film. There is a lot of racism and homophobic jokes but they are funny, just wasnt sure if thay would be everyone's cup of tea.

really rather good!
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.
For a long time, I've avoided bully romances. I've no idea why; I did the same wth the step brother romances a while back. But something about THIS book piqued my interest. And I jumped straight in.
Much like I'm gonna do with my review.
I liked this, a lot. I can't quite love though, simply because it's FIRST person, PRESENT tense AND multi point of view. Many kudos to the author for me not realising that til a way in, though, it's just not a preference of mine.
I loved the idea of the Boyfriend Cafe, not so much the reason for it, but I could see this taking off in some places. I loved Albert, in turn, the new hires to the cafe. Rhett is the driving force behind the cafe, which kinda makes his own love life a mockery: there simply isn't one.
Until Spencer Marsh turns up in teh cafe with his girlfriend. Then, things kinda take a kookie turn and one thing leads to another.
But what I especially liked about that meeting, was Rhett was strong against Spencer. Rhett knew he wasn't the same boy he was in high school, and Rhett stood up to Spencer. Not quite in the way I think he was expecting to, but still!
Spencer, in turn, knows he did Rhett wrong at school, and coming to this college was supposed to be his fresh start. His feelings for Rhett whoop him upside the head a little bit out of nowhere, and when Rhett does that thing where he tells Spencer what to do?? Spencer cannot deny Rhett anything.
The feelings kinda creep up and both Rhett AND Spencer, but I loved that. Yes there is early chemistry, that spark burns right through the book, but the FEELINGS creep up on them. Why Spencer was the way he was in school was hardly surprising but that Spencer still tries to impress his dad was. Dad kinda comes good, but not until the epilogue and only on Spencer's terms.
I like this group of people, they all have tales to tell, I hope!
This is, as far as I can see, the first that I have read by this author. I like the way they tell their tales. I love this about reviewing: you come across authors all the time with backlists, that then grace you to read shelf!
