Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Ooooooh!! What an ending!
Sarren, I hope they kick your arse all the way to hell and back when they finally catch up with you!
As for the everyone else. Allie, nice to have you back. Jackal, I would never have guessed. Kanin, good to see you, too. Zeke, you poor, poor, human. And Stick, you were just an arse!
It was certainly an adventure. A compelling one at that! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I loved Dex, his humour and general way of living was very fun reading. He loved to wind people up and do crazy things...LOVED him! Sloane, you certainly grew on me, especially after that little scene around half way through!
I look forward to reading more of you two! And figuring out what this new group of bad guys are after.
P.S. This also made a nice change from the usual M/M Shapeshifter Romances!

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Twelve Dates of Christmas in Books
Apr 15, 2021
I typically don't read these sorts of novels, romance novels are typically not my thing. However, I do love a not too mushy Christmas romance on occasion, and after reading In a Holidaze, I was still in the mood for something silly.
As with every romance novel, super predictable, you could tell what was going to happen by reading the plot synopsis. It was a nice, quick read and was what I needed at the time.

David McK (3773 KP) rated Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) in Movies
Jul 25, 2021
Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.
And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.
Hornblower this isn't.
Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Two Caravans in Books
Oct 7, 2020
In honor of my wedding anniversary, I thought I’d update one of my older reviews that I consider a classic love story. The one I picked is Marina Lewycka’s second novel “Two Caravans,” which American audiences you may know as “Strawberry Fields.” While this book isn’t quite as good as her debut novel, it certainly is fun! You can read my revised review on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/08/05/a-berry-nice-book/
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Choices (Choices, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2021
I'm not sure what to think after reading this.
I found it hard to get into this to start with and Quincy's naïve attitude and thoughts really annoyed me at times. As for Brody, I liked him, though his behaviour wasn't always on the plus side. And as for Declan, he was a nice guy but there wasn't really a spark like there was with Brody.
I'm not sure I understood the ending either but oh, well.

Proper bad arse erotica
Andrew was the kind of guy who looks good, is good in bed but is a bit of a d***. Or he is to start with. But he grew on me. He just had to break our girls heart a time or two along the way. I don't entirely blame him for being how he was but come on! Be nice to the girl!
Nevertheless, he got there in the end and had their HEA.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Will We Ever Change? by Joel Levi in Music
Jul 11, 2019
This song feels like a moment of catharsis; it's a Ryan Adams meets Tom Petty vibe that it is all right with me, all night long.
“I know the sun will rise,
and we both can’t win.
I want to see you smile again”
— Joel Jevi
Perfect pop instinct, a nice dry mix, great songwriting and a fantastic attention to detail makes this song the lead track on our upcoming playlist CHILL NEW Songwriters Volume 1.

Still in love with this series. It's completely different to anything else I've read, which is probably why I like it so much.
It's getting 5 stars for the romantic aspects of the story. Think it would only have been 4 stars if the romance hadn't gone up a level. I think they are a really nice couple and some of the scenes between them in this were almost heart-breaking.
Can't wait for book 6!
