Micah Ulibarri (79 KP) rated On My Block Season 1 in TV
May 4, 2018
I was blown away by this show. I don't usually "binge" series, but I had this one done in two days and couldn't stop.
The humor permeates the whole show, sometimes up front, sometimes subtle.
The diverse cast did a fantastic job. The ending of the last episode was mind boggling.
It has an excellent main plot as well as a very engaging B and C plot.
It really maintains a real feeling of love and positive feeling for a place even if there are lots of dark things going on.
You have to watch it.

Plot
Just what I needed!
One of the great things about this movie is there's no romance subplot. It's so rare to see a movie with a female lead and not involve romance. It makes Captain Marvel seem more real.
I know a lot of people don't like the way Captain Marvel is portrayed, but I loved it! I see a lot of myself in Captain Marvel. Her humor, mannerisms, speech, and attitude really remind me of myself. Female characters all seem to fit into one of 6 categories and this movie added one more! Thank you!

I loved how this was horror and still had some dark humor to it. The characters and plot were amazing.. I love horror but it's always hard to find a really well written horror story and this one was definently well written. I loved that it kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen and I felt like I had to keep reading until it was finished. I am very glad the author chose me to read this and I cannot wait to read more by this author. Amazing
Lukas Griffith (3 KP) rated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) in Movies

A sci-fi treat!
Marvel has the talent to make better sequels, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 1. Was a great movie but vol 2. Is even better. Although there were some holes in the plot but only tad ones that need to filled and hopefully in vol 3 we will get that. New characters that need more attention as they seem to be a big part of this universe like Stallones character. But all in all I was pleased and entertained and I could watch it over and over.
Alexander knows it's going to be a bad day when he wakes up with gum in his hair. And he is proved right as nothing goes his way. Maybe he should run away to Australia.
This picture book is fun even though it just shows one bad thing after another happening to Alexander, part bad luck and part his own fault. His reactions and the wonderful illustrations bring the warmth and humor and remind us all that everyone has bad days.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated Cockatiels at Seven (Meg Langslow, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Meg agrees to babysit a toddler, she just thinks it will be for a few hours. So when the mother hasn't returned by that night, she begins to try to track her down. Naturally, the trail leads to scandal, and dead body, and laughs. I thought this book was stronger than the last couple in the series. The humor was sharper since it focused on the antics of the toddler, and the mystery was better.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated Murder for Choir (Glee Club, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Paige Marshall has taken a job coaching a show choir until her big break singing opera comes through. But when a rival coach is murdered, she starts trying to clear one of her students of the crime. The book is fun with great characters, fast moving plot, and gentle humor woven in. Paige took a couple more risks than I felt like she should have, but I enjoyed it and definitely plan to read the sequel.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated The Mournful Teddy (A Bear Collector's Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Brad and his wife Ashleigh are enjoying his retirement by indulging their hobby of teddy bear collecting and creating. But then Brad finds a body on their property and a local show featuring a rare bear is robbed. Will this ex-cop be able to figure out what is happening? I loved this debut. The characters were great, there was some good humor, and the mystery was well plotted. The only issue was that the first chapter was a data dump.

Mar 9, 2018
Piggie is invited to her very first party, and Gerald says he knows all about parties. But are his ideas right or not?
This is another fun and funny book in Mo’s Elephant and Piggie series. Things just get crazier as they go along until we hit the perfect ending. Once again, the words are easy to sound out and the illustrations add much to the humor of the story. Great for reading and rereading.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Stone Cold in Books
Mar 11, 2018
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.
