Review: This is my least favorite style of storytelling. It had lots of conflict, misunderstanding, and angst. No plot. The only redeeming factor is the ending.
It came :)
Week 6 Roll 2 
#4 ( De Montforte ) ( read from Oct 8-9 ) ( 4 stars ) ( pages 371 ) ( spot 48 )I loved this book. The hero ( Lucien ) and the heroine ( Eva ) were made for each other. Their passion for each other ignited the pages of this book. Aside from that here was also a lo of drama and spence that kept me turning the pages of documents his book

Rating: 3 stars
Review: This story is a lot more about insecurity and feelings of self worth than about the action the happens. I like how the author delves into main characters and how they are similar and how they help each other. There's quite a bit packed into the 150 pages :)

Aunt Bessie Finds
Qualifications: Isle of Man #6
Pages: 241
Date finished: 10/19/19
Rating: 2 1/2 stars
Review: This was an odd story. Bessie's friend complains to her about some unusual happenings in her apartment complex. Bessie agrees to pretend to be interested in buying one of the apartments so she can be on-hand to investigate. The lie grows and becomes somewhat of a reality. The unusual happenings continue and Bessie is stumped. The ending was rushed and unsatisfactory. There are a lot of loose ends left. It's not a good addition to the series.

Review: In the story, we get introduced to a boy who goes by the name of Flinx. He seems older than his years. And he has abilities that are odd. And then he finds a pet, which augments his odd abilities. And we find out how Flinx came to be. Alan Dean Foster always tells a good story. This one is one of his best. It's a great series.

Review: This is good addition to a great series. We get to see Katie and Owen's relationship grow and strengthen. I thought the concept of cheesy romantic comedy movies and TV shows a marvelous plot device for the story. It certainly brought to mind plenty of movies and TV shows that I watched. I loved the ending!

Poppy Done to Death
Qualifications: Aurora Teagarden #8)
Pages: 245
Finished: 11/6/19
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: I feel that this is one of the better stories in the Aurora Teagarden series. There's a lot of character development and exploration into motives and reasoning. Although the reason the killer gave for offing Poppy was one of the stupidest I've read about.
