Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated One For The Money (Stephanie Plum, #1) in Books

I was easily drawn into this from the first page, it made me laugh throughout and I liked both Stephanie and Morelli.
I don't think I would have figured out who was behind it all, at all, but I always knew there was something a little iffy about the person.
I'd be interested in continuing the series as I have visions of Stephanie and Morelli getting it on at some point in the future.
To save me buying the next God knows how many books in this series I'm really thinking of joining my local library, since it's more or less just down the road.

I actually kinda l liked this...a lot.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this. Things to do with prison put me off a bit put this was written in a way so that we only really saw how it affected our boys' relationship.
That bit when he was talking about when he got out and Xavier kissed him hard, I was all sad like, and it was obvious to me then that emotions had become involved over the year.
I'm happy our boys got together in the end and I wouldn't mind reading more of this series at some point in the future.

3.5 stars.
I really liked the first two books in this series but it has been a while since I read them so my tastes have changed a little.
This started a little too slowly for me. Never the less, after it reached the 45% mark I did start to get reeled in by the story and the characters.
I wanted Raj and Sarah to get together.
I wanted to figure out who was taking the girls and why.<br/>I wanted Raj to become Master.
That ending also has me intrigued, so I will be reading book 4 at some point in the future.

I haven't read a dystopian story in quite a while so this was a nice change. And I actually quite liked it. The storyline wasn't something I'd read before and I was intrigued how it would play out.
I was really into it until about 70% when it went a little awry for me. Aiden vanished from Keith's life for a while and like Keith I was a little WTF? And then I wasn't totally convinced by the reasoning behind it to start with...but the last 10% or so made up for it.
It was an interesting take on what the future might be like.

Wile E. Coyote takes a cactus to the dick in this butt-ugly 3D gimmick back from when everyone thought slowly, awkwardly mugging real up close to the camera every 15 seconds viewed through a pair of uncomfortable plastic glasses wedged onto your face was the future. A careless rehash of the most basic, overplayed aspects from the Roadrunner cartoons throughout the decades. Like wow, the coyote gets hit with a rocket and crushed by a boulder... haven't seen that one before - but now with the added headache of everything coming way too close to your grill because apparently 3D just can't work any other way. At least it's over quick.

Reading fiction is a one way to escape today's harsh reality. However, sometimes you can also do that with a non-fiction book as well. From my experience, this is particularly true of travel books, which take us to locations both known and unknown, and see them through the eyes of another. In this travel diary by Roz Morris, we get all of that, and so much more, including large doses of humor. You can read more about what I thought of this book in my review here (which includes a cliffhanger for a future blog post as well). https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/09/16/the-guestbook-spy/
The final entry in Bernard Cornwell's long-running 'Saxon Stories'/'The Last Kingdom'/Warrior Chronicles' (the series name seems to keep changing), that first started way back in the early noughties with The Last Kingdom, with the series following Uhtred of Bebbanburg: born a Saxon, raised by the Danes and reluctantly fighting for Alfred (the future 'the Great') of Wessex.
We're now into his - Alfred's - grandchildren time, and the notion of England has now come to all but fruition: indeed, by the end of this novel, and after the battle of Brunanburgh, all of the counties are united under the rule of Aethelstan.
A fitting end to the series.
