Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2377 KP) rated Riley Mack Stirs Up More Trouble in Books
Mar 9, 2018
What do a city wide talent show and a closed off swimmer hole have in common? More than you might think in this delightful middle grade caper. The plot was always moving forward, and I loved how everything came together in the end. The characters could have used a bit more development, but that's the adult in me talking. Kids will love it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2377 KP) rated Stuff to Die For in Books
Mar 9, 2018
20-something friends James and Skip are starting a moving company, but in their first load of stuff, they find a severed finger with their high school class ring on it. It took me a while to get into the book because there is more language and drinking than I normally like, but I was soon hooked by the characters and intriguing story.

This is my Condense Review:
I received this book from the author. I read it and it was every cute and funny. I rhymes every so often. The story tell about how he is named "I'm Squirrely".
I love how the pictures are funny to look at and the story itself is funny. I was laughing almost every time I read the book. It tell how he acts in school and what he does at home. It show just how he loves moving and Grooving.

"The prince and the pauper unfriended each other because neither could stand the other's political status updates."
I absolutely loved this book, and i think it came around at a perfect time in my life. Its a quick and easy read and kept me entertained the entire way through. This sharp, satirical, look at how modern twenty somethings are moving along through life, and especially with the use of social media, is hilariously accurate in a lot of ways.
5/5 would recommend to a friend!

This one is on Netflix. Pretty cool sci-fi flick. The acting was decent enough. Benton Thwaites is Latin protagonists(new to me) and Lawrence Fishburne was the antagonist. Nothing in this movie is too graphic for kids, either, but it might be a confusing story for them. Not a good vs evil type story. It unfolds a bit slowly but has some cool twists and turns. Cinematography was good. I definitely recommend it to sci-fi fans. Worth a watch!

One of the all-time best
I have read a lot of books, but this was by far one of the best ever. This book was nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of book that stays with you - I still revisit it in my mind. I have not stopped telling people about it since I read it... When it first came out!! It's a near-perfect read. And for lovers of nonfiction, this book reads like a remarkable, moving true story.
MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Violets Are Blue (Alex Cross, #7) in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I am reading the Alex Cross books for the first time and have a lot to catch up on. I am enjoying the way each book leads to the next and repeatedly find myself glad I don't have to wait to find out what happens next. As soon as I finish one I start the next.... I found this one difficult to read as the vampire storyline is just too out there. The story wrapped up well and I am moving on to the next.
Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated Avengers: Endgame (2019) in Movies
Jul 18, 2019
Even though bits of the movie are slow moving, there still isn't really a good time to leave as there is so much information given as it progresses. Once the action starts, it doesn't stop. I was not ready for the amount of tears I would shed while watching the final Avengers movie. I did feel that some things lacked a proper explanation at the climax of the movie but found it enjoyable, nevertheless. Definitely worth popping some popcorn and settling in for the show.
Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Elvis Presley: The Searcher (2018) in Movies
Jul 6, 2019
Elvis Presley: The Searcher was put together beautifully and was very moving. Hearing Tom Petty's voice narrate a large portion made it all the more special.
If music was a religion Graceland would be its church, Through Elvis' gospel your soul you'd search. To the stars you're gonna reach, When you hear Elvis Presley preach. Like his legs you're gonna be shook, And a back you will be took. I strive to be half the man that was EP, And every single day I just TCB.

This film is the best kind. It's funny and lighthearted, the chemistry is great, the plot keeps moving, the cast is phenomenal, what more could you ask for? I think this is definitely one of Anna Kendrick's best roles and Sam Rockwell really stole the show. My favorite character was probably Steve and his gummy bears. He made it even more fun and I love how rational it all feels. Like yeah, she fell for a hitman? What about it?
Definitely a film to keep you laughing.
