Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Princess Elizabeth's Spy (Maggie Hope Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Maggie Hope gets her first assignment for British secret service - go to Windsor Castle and act as Princess Elizabeth's tutor all while looking for any evidence that there is a plot on her life. Maggie has hardly arrived when someone is murdered. Was the princess the target? Once again, this was a fun World War II spy novel, and I enjoyed spending time with Maggie. However, some editing glitches and a very familiar sub-plot did bother me some.

It’s not something I would read but I received this eBook in the February Fresh Fiction Book Box and this is the first book I decided to start and I loved it. The perfect amount of humor from some of the ghosts and I love the developing friendship between P.I. Melissa Kennedy and Detective Daniel Forrester they make a great team which I can see is going to turn to romance further in the series I just hope I don’t have to wait too long for the second book which is out sometime in the summer.

I loved the film, the storyline was good, it just didn't wow me like the first one did. It seemed to me that it was trying to hard to beat Jurassic World. Bryce Dallas Howard, excels herself in it, but she is maybe not the beat person for it. It felt like she was trying to hard to keep up with Chris Pratt & everyone else.
I hope they do a 3rd and final one, and don't be money grabbing idiots and try and drain it. It would be nice to see how Blue ended up.

What more can I say about this incredible series? Im SO sad its over... Ive loved Claire & Tony's story, no matter how painful it was to read and go through at times. The connection, the passion and the perfect fit of these two are just amazing.. I've been rooting for Tony & Claire for books now and am so beyond happy to see them end up in their "happily ever after." Now we an all just sit around and hope that someday Aleatha changes her mind and continues this story! (although Im sure she's tired of hearing that!?) ;-) LOVE LOVE LOVE this series...

I don't even remember where I ran across a synopsis of this graphic novel, but I'm glad I did! It's written for a young adult audience, but for me, I connected with it even more because there's a special needs character in the story, and I've got a child with special needs. It's refreshing to see a story give a character with differences strength and hope. The aliens in the story deal with weaknesses being perceived as bad, unwanted things. However, the differences that the character has may just prove to be an asset to his survival.

Shark Tank takes some of the richest entrepreneurs known and they sit in judgement over peoples business and product ideas.
Joe Bloggs from the street presents his idea in hope a shark will invest.
Some of the biggest products of the time got a big break on Shark Tank.
It is fiercely compelling to watch people sell their passion projects. Once you start you can’t stop. I binged three season on Netflix in a matter of weeks.

Includes some great actors (2 more)
Superb storylines
Well written
Fantastic Drama!
I ? Casualty and I have watched it since the show began, in 1986! Some amazing actors have starred in the show over the years. Cathy Shipton who plays Lisa"Duffy" Duffin and Charlie Fairhead, who is played by actor, Derek Thompson, are old favourites. Currently, my most enjoyable scenes are those including William Beck (plays Dylan Keogh), who I think is an absolutely brilliant actor.
Some say that Casualty has had its day, but I hope that the show is not about to disappear from our screens any time soon.

A Different Kind of Anime
A great read for anyone looking for a different kind of anime. You won't find any dappy romance here however. Rather you'll find blood and gore as the heroes face off against impossible enemies. If the action doesn't keep you interested the intriguing plotline will as you travel along with the heroes to find what exactly they're facing and if there's any hope of defeating the Titans. Be warned this is one of those stories where you're never sure which character is going to die next!

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed the world-building in this one. The magical characters were fascinating.
The problem i had with it is that i could not connect with the main character, Olivia. She seemed very shallow and immature.
What's the deal with the slut-shaming?
It's possible that it could be an original story thing and the in the next book I'll like her more, though.
I really hope so because the action scenes and the world-building are really well done.
