Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated Slay It with Flowers (A Flower Shop Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Florist Abby Knight is not only in her cousin's wedding, but she's providing the flowers. So she has a vested interest in making sure it goes off without a hitch. Unfortunately, one of the groomsmen goes missing. Can she find him? This is a light but fun book. Most of the characters are a bit flat, but I love Abby. And the plot and humor kept me entertained.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Annie’s dog Fang hires Nate to find the Christmas card his mother always sends him. It’s a week late, and Fang looks forward to it all year. (Or so Annie claims). Can Nate find it?
This is a fun entry in the series with a dash of humor (especially when Rosamand appears), and decent clues that a kid or adult could use to solve the case along with Nate. Not that I did, of course.

Great Acting
I hate the story (2 more)
Depressing situations
humor is too dark
Everyone loves this show, except me.
I found that after watching an episode I wanted to curl up into a ball and just hug my wife and family and be thankful it's not me. But it kept leaving me depressed after watching it. I might just be too sensitive to the emotional turmoil of it. managed to get 3/4 of the way through the season, and had to stop... I'm happier for it.
Erika (17788 KP) rated The Avengers (2012) in Movies

Avengers (Assemble) is, IMO, the best movie to come out of the MCU. Yes, there are plot holes, and it's not a very intelligent movie, but it's a ton of fun. I'm a huge fan of TH's Loki, and he is, by far, the strongest villain thus far in the MCU. It's fast paced and is successful at bringing the gang together. The quips and humor are well timed (unlike AoU) and worked in the film.
Here's hoping Infinity War is more like this film, and nothing like AoU.

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Cat Got Your Diamonds (Kitty Couture Mystery #1) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Cat Got Your Diamonds is an excellent start to the new Kitty Couture Mystery series. Lacy is funny, clever heroine, and I really enjoyed reading about her exploits. After encountering an intruder in her shop after hours, Lacy goes to get the police only to return with them and find the intruder dead. Finding herself suspected of murder, Lacy does just what we would expect of her. She decides to investigate.
With a great sense of humor and an interesting supporting cast, animal lovers, cozy lovers, and just about anyone else should love this book.

Emma Whitecastle is trying to enjoy a romantic Thanksgiving weekend with her boyfriend on Catalina, but the trip is interrupted when she keeps seeing the ghost of a woman who disappeared in the 60's. Can Emma find out what really happened to the woman? It was great to see these characters again, and I enjoyed the humor in the book. Yet it reaches a more serious ending, which I found appropriate.

The gory effects
Bruce cabbot
Is it as good as the orignal movie its okay not as good as the first with jeffrey combs back as herbert west up to his tricks trying to bring the dead back to life but this time creating life with help from his friend once again played by bruce cabbot who is also good in this film there is plenty of dark humor in the film especally from the stars the special effects ate just as good this time around. deffo watch again
I think my problem with this book was that I watched the movie first and I didn't realize how different the book was from the movie. This is my best friend's and my favorite movie and we have seen it at least half a dozen times. One of the reasons I loved the movie was for the humor and upbeat, inspirational tone that it had. The book really lacked that and that was something that really disappointed me. Probably if I had read it without those expectations, I may have enjoyed it more.
Joni Thomas (33 KP) rated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) in Movies
Aug 14, 2018
The humor in this movie was spot on. The cast was excellent. The story line was great and it fit perfectly with the original Jumanji movie.
I think it is really important to mention- this is a spinoff. It is not a remake of the original. My fiance was confused about that and a little annoyed but in my opinion if you can understand the difference between spin off and remake then this is an excellent movie that lovers of the original movie should definitely take the time to check out.

Beautiful Infertility Memoir
I believe this is a book that anyone dealing with fertility issues should give a good thorough read. Even though there were a number of grammatical errors, J.T. perfectly captured the feelings of blind hope, crushing defeat, more hope, despair, obsession, and joy that come along with the infertility "journey". Her sense of humor through the entire ordeal was uplifting. I laughed, cried, and was over the moon alongside her. It gives hope that there is indeed "light at the end of the birth canal".
