starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated 3 Grams in Books
Jan 30, 2018
This was an amazing emotional rollercoaster. The beginning started as a "wow.. yum" and then turned sad and I was like awww... From there I felt for O and for Lena. This is definitely a sexual story so if you aren't into f/f with lots of sex don't bother to read this story. I really enjoyed it though. The complicity of the characters, the sadeness, the love, the sex, all of it was wonderful. The writing was superb and had a lot of action and intrigue involved in it.

I had no clue what this story was about.. I was asked to review it.. and I'm really glad that I did because this was very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot. This was a complex and confusing at times.. but then if i waited for like 10 mins and continue reading.. and it all clicked together haha.. There are troubled souls... differences of opinions when it came to religions.. and so many emotions all run together. I really am glad i got to review this one..

So this was really interesting and intriquing. I did get lost a couple of times because I should have read the first two before this one but overall I was able to figure out what characters were who and why. It was a really good read... I am not a big f/f fan to be honest but it was tastefully done and didn't bother me much. There was a lot of mystery involved.. the characters were easy going and funn to read and i am glad i got to review it

A little gross, but a lot of fun
I read this book during a camping trip in which I constantly bugged my family by reading lines aloud to them. If you're looking for a fun, non-fiction book to read, this is a great choice. While it does go into some super gross details (it's about dead bodies), I learned so much. The chapter on how bodies are prepared for funerals was especially interesting to me.

Death from above
A rich woman (hedren) who is really in love with her beau (taylor) follows him to a remote town in California where out of no where all kinds of birds from small to large begin to attack and reek havoc on the towns people.
Out of the mind of Hitchcock comes one of his more scarier tales. From what I have read that after the first screening of the movie a lot of the viewers screamed when a flock of birds happened to fly over them

Dean (6925 KP) rated Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) in Movies
Feb 6, 2018
A classy film with a wide array of fine English actors on show. A compelling story set during the days of the cold war. However the very slow pace will put a lot of people off and it's running time is a fair bit longer than needed. One you really need to pay close attention to, and work out the code words and what they refer to. It just didn't have any real action for me, which let it down. A fine performance from talented cast nevertheless.

Feb 6, 2018
Sam Worthington pushes himself as an assassin hired to kill a teenage girl as he struggles to face his own demons - addiction, his past as a soldier, and his lack of relationship with his own teenage daughter. The movie is action from start to finish with not a lot of great suspense or unexpected plot twists. However, for an action flick, its rather mild presentation (minimal swearing, not overly graphic, no unnecessary sexual content) plus the realistic potrayal of the emotions the hunter and the hunted must work through, this is an enjoyable movie!
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Dating Dead Men in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A call from her brother sends Wollie off on a wild ride while she's in the middle of a dating project and trying to help her greeting card store take off. Has her brother really witnessed a murder? Or is it his paranoid schizorenia acting up again? A twisty novel with great characters. Just pay attention at the beginning because a lot is thrown at you quickly.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Mistletoe Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Lucy Stone is working nights at a mail order company. When the owner is killed in the parking lot, she begins to piece together gossip to find the killer. I like the characters, but the plot was slowed down so much in the first half by every day life (Lucy is a married mother of two), that I was bored. Things did pick up in the second half.
