ArecRain (8 KP) rated The Trouble with Mistletoe (Heartbreaker Bay, #2) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Despite being the second in a series, The Trouble with Mistletoe is a standalone that can be enjoyed without reading the first.
I have never read from this author before, but I enjoyed her easy light hearted style. From page one, I knew I was going to enjoy the authors humor as well as characters. From the beginning, it was hard not to like Willa. She is sweet, kind-hearted, and funny at no ones expense. Keane was just as likable. Despite their troubles and pasts, there was a delightful lack of angst and self-loathing. A definite win in my opinion.
Just in time for the beginning of the holiday season, The Trouble with Mistletoe is lovely read for those wanting a sweet, not too complicated romance.

Where can they go after this?!
I love a bit of Abba (who doesn't?! It's my childhood in music!), I love a musical, and here we have the two wrapped up into one! What's not to like!
This is no deep and meaningful film, but I don't want that all the time. I went with the youngest boy (Son #2), and he had a huge smile on his face from beginning to end - as did I. And that, people, is what a summer holiday film should be all about!
We sang Abba songs all the way home (good job Son #1 wasn't with us, he would've been mortified. 14 is a difficult age...). I'm sure there were people joining in as we walked though town to our car!

Solid feel good Christmas film
I enjoyed this Christmas film. It had magic, romance and drama. The acting was good and the storyline was a nice Christmas story line.
The main character will be familiar as Bonnie from The Vampire Diaries and as good an actor as she is, she is more annoying than likeable. That is the case in this film too. It's a shame, but the mistake she makes that causes the drama, seems like something a spoilt pentulant toddler would do. You take an instant dislike to her, not that you loved her from the off though.
Overall, I liked the idea and did enjoy the movie. Everyone needs a little magic at Christmas and The Holiday Calendar provides it.

This was done well. It seems everyone is waiting for a big snowstorm that is to be predicted. As some of the guests arrive for the holiday season. Mist just let them all settle in and get to know them at their own pace.
This seems to be a special activity that Mist seems to have pulled together for the guest at the hotel. That she gets some of the townsfolk to help out. What is this activity she has planned? Well, you will need to find out by reading.
The guests are Clara and Andrew, Michael, Max and Kinsley and Allison and the Professor. The story is heartfelt and sweet. It is a fun and enjoyable read. It loves it. Deborah Garner does a wonderful job of creating a special time for getting together.

A real page turner
From the beginning of the book you are hooked. Such a warm well wrote book by julia romp telling the tale of life living with an autistic son . Her thoughts and feeling about the lack of communication and love she desperately wants.
Then one day ben a stray cat turns up on the doorstep and there whole world changes.
The story goes through some magical moments where you are left smiling and you dont want to put the book down.
One day while they are on holiday ben goes missing. The story runs through the whole heartache and mystery surrounding the missing cat.
You will find the ending adorable though.
Hope you enjoy the book just as much as I did

Ronnie (304 KP) rated The Case Of The Drowned Pearl in Books
Apr 9, 2020 (Updated Apr 14, 2020)
On World Book Day Robin Stevens brings us a short Detective Society story at the seaside. When a famous swimmer shows up dead on the beach smelling of soap, the Detective Society must team up with the Junior Pinkertons to solve the murder and get back to their summer holiday.
I really enjoyed just setting aside a short amount of time to just sit down and read ‘The Case Of The Drowned Pearl’ in one go. It was a nice, short, easy read and it was great getting to see a murder investigated from a new angle, with the chapters alternating between Daisy and Hazel’s perspectives.
I can’t wait to read the next Murder Most Unladylike book, although it will be sad bidding a fond farewell to the Detective Society.
