Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Landmark Resort; City: Egg Harbor Wisconsin; Review: The pluses were: we were able to get a 2 BR/2B unit on short notice; it was clean and had everything we needed; it would be a good unit for a few days visiting the area. The minuses: the onsite restaurant was closed; it is a mile from the water and nearest stores; our unit had a view of the parking lot (which was fine since we wanted the cheapest unit accommodating us). It was definitely acceptable for our purposes, but if I were staying in Door County for a longer visit I would look into some of the cute places closer to the towns and water in Egg Harbor, Fish Creek or one of the own small towns,.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Leicester Square Hotel; City: London England; Review: The hotel is centrally located to all of the major attractions. We used it as a home base from which to tour and used the nearby underground without problem. The rooms are clean. So why a 2? The rooms are extremely small and have no view. You have to pay for Internet - pretty chincy of them. And the staff was friendly but not helpful. In one case we asked for directions to a major attraction and were given the wrong underground stop. In another case, we were told an estimate of a taxi fare and had them reserve it. We were then told the price would be higher. And then when we took the cab the price was even higher. The difference from the first estimate of the staff was over $55 ! When I wrote to the hotel, they said there was a problem with the Taxi company. Why didn't the hotel have a reliable partner - supposedly they use this service all the time? Why couldn't they get the company to make good on it? Why wouldn't the hotel stand behind their service and do something themselves? All we got was an apology and promise of a free breakfast if we ever visit again - which we won't.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Residence Retezova; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: It exceeded my expectations in every way: Location: within easy walking of Charles bridge, old town square, and all of the major attraction. Service: Staff was helpful in planning our visit (arranged airport pickup and charged it to our room so we wouldn't have to worry about local currency, prompt email responses to questions) and during our visit (provided maps, directions, suggestions, taxi reservations, and even lent us technology specialized connectors). And they always did it with a smile. Rooms: they only have 9 rooms so book early. We booked a "small" room which had a kitchenette, living room. 2 bathrooms, king bed, vaulted ceilings and more. The rooms blended the old architecture of the area but had modern bathrooms and amenities. The room was at least 4 times as large as our last room in London - no exaggeration.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites at Fairgrounds Casino; City: Tampa Florida; Review: The hotel is within walking distance of the Mid Florida Amphitheatre. So if you are going there for a concert, you can't beat the location. It saves you having to fight the thousands of cars entering and leaving the concert. There are also a few casual eating places in walking distance (Five Guy Burgers, Kers Wing House). The hotel also offers a shuttle to the casino which saves you having to drive. The hotel is decent -- nothing great. The room was clean and spacious. They offer a free breakfast in the morning which was very nice to have. Overall, if you are planning to attend a concert, go to the casino or attend another event at the Florida Fairgrounds, this is a great location to be.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Castillo Real An Ascend Hotel Collection Member; City: Saint Augustine Beach St Augustine Flori; Review: St Augustine beach offers many different types of accommodations - small rental houses, strip motels, chain hotels etc. We chose a mid-sized hotel with a good reputation and were not disappointed. The rooms are clean, large and comfortable. They offer free wifi, a swimming pool if you just want to veg out, and have an onsite restaurant if you are lazy and don't want to travel to one. The rates were very reasonable. And you are only a block from the beach. So if this is the kind of place you are looking to stay, it certainly meets the need. This was our first trip to St Augustine so we weren't sure where to stay. The hotel is only a 10 minute drive from old St Augustine. If I had to do it again, I would probably stay in old St Augustine since that is where all of the good restaurants and sightseeing are. We were not here for the beach, so there was no need for us to stay close to it --- we could have just driven to it from downtown to see it. Again, our hotel was fine and met our needs, but first decide where you want to stay (near the beach or near the old city). If you are here for a few days and want to spend a lot of time by the beach but also want to see the old town, this is a good choice, But if you are more interested in the sightseeing, you might consider staying in the city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Drifting Sands; City: Ship Bottom Long Beach Island New Jersey; Review: It's been many years since I have been to the NJ shore but we went here for a wedding this year. The hotel (and I use that term loosely) is just a bunch of small rooms with misty smells and old furnishings. The room was noisy -- the person above us stomped around the room until 1:00 am and then started again at about 6:30 am. The walls are thin. I expect this hotel is not much different than other beachfront motels in the area, but it certainly isn't a Ramada or Sheraton. They can get the prices they get only because the choices of motels is limited and people want to be near the ocean. We paid over a hundred dollars in the off season and I heard that the same rooms during season can go up to $400 per night - give me a break. Personally, if I had to do it again, I would opt to get a better hotel several blocks off the water. That being said, the staff were all very nice and helpful and it is in a good location.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Baltimore Plaza Inner Harbor; City: Baltimore Maryland; Review: Prices for hotels near the Inner Harbor are high. If you want to save $50 to $300 per night for a hotel near the Inner Harbor you might pick this place. It is only about a 5 - 10 minute walk to the inner harbor, and it is a lot cheaper than the name brand hotels closer to the harbor. Parking is an additional $15 per day at an indoor lot across the street which is also very cheap compared to places closer to the harbor. But if you select this hotel, realize that it is not a Ramada or Radisson or other newer hotel near the water. It is not as modern - it is very dated. But the rooms are clean and the free breakfast is very good and the staff is extremely nice. The only problems we had were no towels in the room (we had to ask for them at the desk) and only a few sheets of toilet paper on the roll in the bathroom. But overall, if you don't need a modern luxury hotel right on the water, this place is a good choice.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Bellmawr; City: Bellmawr New Jersey; Review: Not exactly a luxury hotel. The clientele was not great - mostly young tough looking couples and truckers. The free breakfast was a table that had coffee, juice and a few bagels and misc stuff and not a great place to sit. The place was noisy at night even though we were on the 2nd floor on the opposite side of the parking lot. And it was weird that they wanted a $20 cash deposit when we registered for any misc charges/damages -- it was promptly returned at checkout but still weird. The good news is that it fit our needs for a cheap and clean room for one night while we were waiting for our flight from Philadelphia airport the next day. There were several other similar hotels within sight (Red Roof, Days Inn, ....) so I would look into reviews of these if I stay in the area again, but overall it met our needs.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Le Splendid; City: Avignon Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: If I were to compare this hotel to ones in bigger or more modern locations, I would give it a 2 or 3. The rooms are small and the bathroom needs updating. There are steep winding stairs to get to the upper floors which make it difficult for older folks or with luggage, since there is no elevator. The Internet is spotty. But this hotel should not be rated that way. It is a quaint hotel with character that is in a perfect location. And the staff couldn't be nicer. They carried our heavy suitcases upstairs and offered is coffee whenever we were just sitting etc. Although the rooms were small, you can certainly make them work well for you if you are organized. For a couple night stay, it is a good choice for a place with local flavor.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Melia Sevilla; City: Seville Province of Seville Andalucia; Review: The hotel seems popular with business meetings and tour groups. Buses have easy access to it and it is on a street where you can get to basic stores easily ( grocery, clothes, fast food, etc). The lobby and pool area are spacious and modern. The rooms are also spacious and modern. My concerns with it were: - it is about a 45 minute walk to the historic district - the room was damp and the air conditioner was always on cold (and would not adjust) - the Internet was down for a full day and there was a temporary power outage. - the cappuccino in the morning always had chocolate in it and you couldn't change that. Overall it was okay but I think there are better options.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Airport Hotel; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We arrived at 12:30. We understand that 3:00 is the official access time to rooms. But we have issue with reservations because of these reasons: - We have never had a hotel that didn't have a single room ready a bit early (only one other person was waiting for a room). - We returned at 2:30 and still no room even though we were the only one waiting. - at 3:00 when it was promised, still no room. - When we finally checked in, we confirmed that we were leaving our car (park, sleep, fly) for 23 days. We were told that only 14 days of parking was free and we needed to pay for the remainder. Yet, we had booked a room for our departure night and also a room for our return night. The booking agent confirmed that would entitle us to all 23 days free parking (14 days for first night and then remainder of days due to last night). The reservation clerk finally agreed to put that in our record despite not having it in the system already. The one bright side to check-in was Luis who seemed to manage the lobby area and worked on our behalf to finally get us a room shortly after 3:00. The hotel itself is nice. They just need to work on their registration and check-in process.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Central Suite Residence; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: Excellent choice if you are staying in Siem Reap. The staff is fantastic. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The location is literally 1 block from all the action: marts, Pub Street, restaurants, etc. we didn’t get a chance to use the pool but it looks great. And to top it off, we got a great rate thru Expedia.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Duval House; City: Key West Florida Keys Florida; Review: There are lots of things to like about this place: great location on Duval; quiet ( surprising considering where it is located); relaxing (lots of areas to sit in the shade under trees or in a hammock); great staff; priced right (a lot more reasonable than other big named places); and small little nice extras (nice included breakfast, suntan lotions for your use in the lobby). When we come back to Key West we will definitely return here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: UGG Women's Brooks Tall; Brand: ; Review: These boots were too big to my taste. They do not look cute at all. I felt as if I was wearing two bricks instead of a cute pair of boots.

Title: Hortense B. Hewitt Wedding Accessories White Satin Treasure Chest Ring Box; Brand: Hortense B. Hewitt; Review: This chest ring box is ugly andmade with really cheap materials.

Bad purchase.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Handbag: Disney Mickey And Minnie Love Story Handbag by The Bradford Exchange; Brand: Bradford Exchange; Review: I was really sad to return this purse because I really liked it. The problem with this purse is the shape and size. It was too big and it look more as a rectangle shape (weird shape). Also, the strap was really long (even after adjusting it to make it shorter) which felt really uncomfortable while walking. This bag will work for you if you are a tall girl. The problem is that I'm 5'2 tall so this purse was touching my hips/thigh area which made it pretty uncomfortable to walk with it as my thigh kept bumping with it. The purse is beautiful and nicely made. I wish it was a little bit smaller and it came with a shorter strap. :/; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Peppers Salt Resort Spa; City: Kingscliff New South Wales; Review: Although the room is small and there is too much furniture in the room this hotel is adequate for a wheelchair guest. I think this is just a normal room with a bigger than usual bathroom as the room itself is quite small and you could not go onto the balcony unless you had someone help & there is a small lip between the tiled section and the carpet and another lip to get outside onto the small balcony. I wish 4-5 star hotels realised that wheelchair guests money is the same colour as able bodied guests and offered a few more choices rather than getting what always seems to be just a basic room with adequate facilities but no view to speak of. The toilet & shower are well set up, even though the hand shower is missing (the brackets are there but the hand piece has been removed in place of a normal shower head & whilst this wouldn't matter for a person who could stand it really is a pain for someone who can't.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kangaroo Point Holiday Apartments; City: Brisbane Brisbane Region Queensland; Review: Just stayed at this property and the 2 bedroom disabled apartment was more than adequate. Handrails in shower and toilet (LHS) and seat in shower with hand shower head as well. Plenty of room to move around the furniture. Nice modern apartment & Close to Southbank & City environs. Will stay again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quest Rotorua Central; City: Rotorua Rotorua District Bay of Plenty Region North Island; Review: The studio apartment here is excellent and easy for a wheelchair person. Huge bathroom with all the rails/seats etc and the room was very nice. No complaints at all and the staff were excellent. Excellent location and within a 5 min walk to the main restaurant area of town. Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Strath Motel; City: Strathalbyn South Australia; Review: This property is excellent and the managers are very friendly and most helpful in all aspects. The disabled rooms are excellent in all facets with plenty of room to move around, easy access and a fantastic huge bathroom with all facilities needed.We had the family room even though there was only 2 of us ,there is another room available with just a king bed but it was booked for our dates. I rate this property very highly & its a easy 10min walk to the High Street cafes and pubs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atlantic Tower Motor Inn; City: Glenelg Greater Adelaide South Australia; Review: This is an older property however this apartment on the 10th level with a view of Glenelg city line looks like the bathroom is reasonably new & is suited to wheelchair customers however the glass panel between the shower & toilet is perhaps a hinderance for transferring off your chair onto the toilet as you can't get your chair close enough on a 90 degree angle. It looks great but perhaps a shower curtain that folds back would give you more room & make transferring easier. A shower chair was available on request. The bed height was ok and there was enough room to move around.Value for money was good at $140 pn.including a continental bfast & car parking.The property is a short walk to the beach and plenty of eating spots close by.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lakes Hotel; City: West Lakes Charles Sturt Greater Adelaide South Australia; Review: When I entered the room I thought great a nice view over the lake and a deck outside that is accessible - normally disabled rooms have a view of the car park or some other obscured site. Anyway the room layout was good but I was soon disappointed with a number of items and whilst they have tried to make it usable for a wheelchair there are a number of issues. The shower pad is recessed into the tiles and where you need to place your chair to attempt a transfer is where the lip of the tiles is. It needs to be flattened out also the vanity unit is in the way for transfer to the shower chair so you cant have the two side by side in order to transfer as there is not enough room. The hand shower was loose and kept falling off and the lack of room between the hand basin and toilet also made it hard to transfer. Yes all the facilities are there but they are difficult to use. In the main room it is carpeted so it is hard to wheel if you don't have good arm strength - We prefer tiles or timber floors. The desk juts out a bit so passing between the desk and the bed is just a bit tight and when your hands are on the wheels pushing you need to be careful going between the two. The bed was way too soft and my wife ended up rolling into the centre of the bed making it uncomfortable for both of us sleeping. The resort has good facilities, the meal we had in the bistro was great and the location was good - 20mins from the airport. Would I go again - maybe - but only if I couldn't find something better which I am sure I could.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: QT Gold Coast; City: Surfers Paradise Gold Coast Queensland; Review: The room was nice with a mountain view. Plenty of room to move around & although the bed was comfy it was too high for transferring and required us to lift up into the bed. The bathroom was crowded and difficult to get onto the toilet as it is jammed in between walls and not easy to side transfer and the shower although it had a fold down seat there is no room for anyone to help transfer and no rails in front of you that can be used to pull yourself up if you wanted to. I would stay again (maybe) but will keep looking for better setup properties in this area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mantra Collins Hotel; City: Hobart Greater Hobart Tasmania; Review: Great centrally located hotel with very good facilities for wheelchairs. Huge bathroom and plenty of space in the room to move around. Bed was nice and a short distance to restuarants and shopping as it is in the centre of the city.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eden by the Bay; City: Hervey Bay Fraser Coast Queensland; Review: Great property for wheelchair users in Hervey Bay (Scarness) with location close to shops, restaurants,pub etc. The bathroom was huge and plenty of room to move around and had all the requirements for wheelies; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Travelodge Manchester Sale Hotel; City: Sale Trafford Greater Manchester England; Review: As part of our Trans Pennine Trail route we arrived at this hotel after a long tiring walk and were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who claimed this was the best Travelodge in the area. It was certainly of a very high standard compared to others we have stayed in. It seemed to be very new. Breakfast the next morning was good although there was a board saying we should wait to be greeted and nobody was there. We finally gave up waiting. We noticed other people had the same problem. However I would recommend this hotel to others.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hikers Bikers B B; City: Glossop Derbyshire England; Review: As part of our Trans Pennine Trail we booked this accommodation well in advance of our journey. We arrived early in the afternoon when the cafe had actually closed but we were given a very warm welcome and shown up to our ensuite room. Tea and coffee were available in the room.There was a wonderful view of the Pennines from our window.The only disappointment was breakfast as it was only available from 9 am and we needed to start our long trek to Peniston well before that time. However there was an excellent cafe just across the road.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel at The Gardeners Country Inn; City: Kingston upon Hull East Riding of Yorkshire England; Review: We stayed here for our last night walking the TransPennine Trail. We upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi to ease our weary joints and it was certainly a very good choice. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bed was upstairs and also very welcoming. The food on offer across the courtyard was of a very high quality and our final experience of this delightful place was a delicious bacon sandwich for breakfast before we set off in pouring rain for our final destination in Hornsea. We shall certainly return and have recommended the place to our friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: River Lane B B; City: Doncaster South Yorkshire England; Review: My husband and I were walking the TransPennine Trail and had had to book our accommodation well in advance. The owner of River Lane, Janet could not have been more helpful when we contacted her. She offered to pick us up from a pre - arranged location and take us back the next morning which was a very welcome gesture. She is such a friendly lady and has succeeded in creating a very warm and comfortable lodging for tired travellers. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and plentiful. We particularly enjoyed the special trolley with all the cereals, fruits and other goodies before the full English breakfast. We certainly felt well fed before our next long day of walking. A fabulous stay and one we would certainly recommend and hope to return. Thank you very much, Janet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wakapunku Hotel Boutique; City: Cusco Cusco Region; Review: I stayed at this hotel as part of a tour itinerary. The staff were always very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is very near the main square in Cusco and feels very safe. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cusco.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Underworks Mens Microfiber Compression Tank; Brand: ; Review: I am 70 and my fantastic pecs from my 30's and 40' are no longer fantastic. I've gained weight and felt they were breasts instead of pecs. You older guys know what I mean. I tried this compression tank. It was a struggle the first time I put it on but have learned how to do it correctly now. But strangely it seems to make my stomach look like I have a beer belly. It does control the chest area pretty well but has accentuated my tummy. It's most likely my old body telling me "hey nobody's looking at you anyway". There are some pluses. It does make you feel more firm all over. It is nice on cold days keeping you warmer. So if I were you I'd give it a try, as each person is built differently.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

I'm 71 and keeping big equipment around the house is just not possible. This I just keep in my night stand and any time I've got some extra minutes I do a little workout. Pleasantly surprised and pleased. I highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer, Black; Brand: BUNN; Review: I've used Bunn coffee brewers for several years and love them. When I had to replace my last one (and it was WELL used) I chose this carafe model instead of the warmer model. I was a little sceptical but after reading the reviews I decided to take the chance. I'm glad I did. The coffee is delicious as usual and the carafe? I made coffee last night and only drank about half the pot. This morning I emptied the pot into the sink expecting it to be ice cold, but to my shock it was still warm after more than 12 hours! Now, it wasn't piping hot by any means but I was impressed with warm. Since it hadn't been "cooking" on the warmer, I'd guess it still tasted good. I highly recommend this Bunn. As a personal note, I was forgetful about shutting off the warmer on my previous Bunn's at night. This isn't an issue anymore.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad | Therapeutic with Zoned Heat, 10 Heat Settings, Full; Brand: Sunbeam; Review: I purchased this instead of an electric blanket. I'm so happy with this purchase!

We can keep the house really cold at night now and sleep warm and toasty.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Zenna Home 7413AL NeverRust Aluminum Adjustable Shower Caddy, Satin Chrome; Brand: Zenna Home; Review: This is a great caddy. It's large enough for our products and I like the fact the soap holder is on the bottom. The razor holders work great unlike some others where the provided slot never fit my razor handle. In this pucture, I hadn't hung the razor yet btw!

That's great in the winter, but not the summer. I'd looked for 10 years for something to cover the panel that didn't require any drilling, etc in the door.

Title: Café 32-ounce Plastic Restaurant Style Tumblers | set of 12 in 4 Assorted Colors; Brand: US Acrylic; Review: I read numerous reviews on these and other plastic tumblers before I ordered these.

While other reviewers complained about the outside of the glass feeling like sand paper, I like the fact there's a rougher outside to help prevent a sweating glass from slipping from your hand. I do plan on always hand washing them however because a dishwashers heat is just plain hard on most hard plastics. I would certainly recommend these glasses.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: STERILITE 07479406 8 Piece Covered Bowl Set, White & Blue, 1-Pack; Brand: STERILITE; Review: I've used a set if these bowls for what seems like forever. I ordered another set for our camper.

What put's this resort above of the others in Koh Kood at TinkerBell is the hospitality it's their genuine concern of it's guests that set it above all the rest. But what locked in for me was when we were heading back to Tret to fly to Cheng Mai, I left/ forgot my most important bag on the ferry boat heading back to the airport, with my medications, money, computer, all things valuable. I saw that is was missing. Everyone from Front Desk manager Lee Y Kongsing, boat captain, manger of Tinker Bell's main office in Bangkok, went out of their way to get my bag safely back to me with everything in tack. And it was not a easy task, they worked so hard between Shewe Wana Resort in Chang Mai, the Boonsiri Office at Leam Sok Pier, I couldn't of of asked for a better team. I got it back with everything in it in tack I'm so so SO very HAPPY!!! If more people were kind, honest, and went out of there way gratitute and with grateful smiles than this world sure be heaven on earth. Again Thank you Tinker Bell Privacy Resort, we think you are the best EVER!!! xoxo Also a big hug goes to Lee, Dom, and Alex 2 more valued staff, and who made our stay even better. Oh last note order the "Flower of Love" cocktail it's out of this world YUM!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Baan Phu Lae; City: Ko Lanta Krabi Province; Review: We really fell in love with the people who run the place! They are so nice :) This place is super chill and very romantic, we had many wonderful delicious dinners and cocktails while looking out to sea, and Rosie and the staff are a perfect in hospitality. I highly recommend. Also the next beach north of here has a huge wow factor location and great place for a cold Chang.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Koh Tao Cabana; City: Koh Tao Surat Thani Province; Review: Koh Tao Cabana's hospitality is burnt out, "SOUR PUSSES", more than SMILES!!! Horrible Internet!!!!! "PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP A PARKING LOT!!!" Check in was horrible, older male staff grumpy, no english "and he always answered the phone, bell captain did not explain about our room or the property. "Hurry Hurry, go go go! Understaffed. Spa only had one masseuse on duty other on vacation, PEAK SEASON" so no couples message, :-( Resort is THRIFTY!! and skimping on all the little things that make a vacation truly special. 1 small water bottle a day, so pay resort price or stop by 7/11. We always had 2 bit bigger water bottles in all our rooms during our 7 weeks in Thailand. Breakfasts are just ok!. Occasional seasonal fruit, canned juices, Unripe cantaloupe, bread fruit, plenty of canned fruit. Showered in temped water only, also didn't get soaps, shampoo, or cond. refreshed until empty. No bath mat or sarongs in room after a few days, maybe we run out our stay, 3-4 days is enough at this toilet. Really it smelled! And most dirty island I have ever been too. Morning walk was plastic trash, floating limes and cigarette butts. Maybe I should buy a whisky bucket. I can say only one staff member really made our stay nice Zaw Htay he went over and beyond and should be the CEO.. These are JUST my honest observations and in no way trying to ruin a hotels reputation, constructive criticism is all. Everyone deserves a nice vacation. Right! Noisy long tail boats blasting "CARBON" OUT THE TAIL PIPES. ECO NOT! Totally destroys the serenity of this resort we were at the end in a charming room #28, long tails blast morning to sunset, LOUD!!! WHAT DID YOU SAY? 😖 2 stroke lawn mover engines "imagine 20 lawn mowers coming and going to Nang Yuan Island constantly. It's super "LOUD"!!! the room is a stop off for 50 passenger snorkel tour boats just out front. Wifi "just forget about it" Your on vacation right? It's super slow! You can go down the beach to another resort to access "blazing fast internet speeds". When you rent the kayaks they don't offer you a life vest, you have to go way up to reception to get one. I highly recommend if your heading to Hang Yuan Island it can be dangerous not advised with out one..All boat traffic could "care less" for your safety. Beware they charge the guests for a bucket of ice, I have never been to any resort that charges for ice. Resort renovations are currently in progress when we arrived December 23th peak season, welcomed us with loud and noisy construction sounds all day and into the evening. Workers saying "sexy lady". This is peak season? We pay peak season prices $200 a night. Resort just started decorating Dec. 29th to make pretty for peak season guests. Dec. 30 started gardening and planting pretty flowers. Bring ear plugs because Sunsets Bar down the beach and neighboring resorts play LOUD MUSIC!!! most nights. We came; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bellevue Suites SPA; City: Cortina d Ampezzo Province of Belluno Veneto; Review: Is it that expensive to buy good mattresses/beds it's the most important thing we come to expect for $400 a night, so do you think SUPER CHEAP MATTRESSES with no mattress pads is fair to it's guests? This is suppose to be a 4 star resort? I assume they don't care much about their guests. Also the older men waiter during the breakfast service is down right nasty and couldn't careless about you. He already haunts me in my dreams, I think its time for his retirement. My husband got really sick and just wanted to stay in bed, so I went down to get him some juice, and water, tea, the older man waiter stopped me cold in my tracks, and told me I couldn't take the fluids to him, that he must come down to get his beverages etc., it was the rules. They said that I would need room service for that, so they brought it up to him, the bill was for $17.00 + for what??? Juice tea, and water? plus room service fee? They don't provide coffee or tea in the rooms. Pretty disappointed that they treated him in that way, don't they get SICK sometimes? This place sends out really bad vibes, how they treat their guests is terrible, I wouldn't ever stay here ever again. OH the WIFI is horrible, SUPER SLOW for a high end resort!!!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel San Giorgio; City: Vis Island of Vis Split Dalmatia County Dalmatia; Review: Pro...First off this hotel has soft comfortable beds, clean rooms that have been updated. Standard rooms are small with tiny window, I would suggest the larger rooms with balcony. Hotel has many stairs some steep so a bit challenging. Proprietors are very nice. Con..If you want a quiet room than ask for room not facing the open air restaurant or shut your windows and put the air conditioning on as it’s very noisy, plus your tucked into a noisy ally. Breakfast was not my favorite in the 6 weeks traveling, I felt it was more geared to budget restrictions, just didn’t leave me satisfied, coffee is important and I felt it was not a good brand, and I asked for a stronger cup, tasted the same. Bit on the expensive side considering what you get.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Dobra Vila Bovec; City: Bovec Slovenian Littoral Region; Review: Been tracing for 7 weeks and have stayed in countless hotels and inns. Stayed a night here at Bovec Vila, perfect in every way, big rooms and comfortable. Must do dinner, it’s scrumptious. And breakfast was like no other, amazing set in the most beautiful setting. You won’t leave disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mithi Resort and Spa; City: Dauis Panglao Island Bohol Province Visayas; Review: Pros: Great staff!!! Private underground Cave for swimming. We stayed in room 1101 which was a nice location to lobby. Cons: I asked staff why it was smoky, staff acted told me it wasn’t smoky, and made me feel stupid for asking. I asked for a manager, he told me they kill mosquitoes with chemical smoke, funny he had a surgical mask 😷 on too. The island uses chemicals to kill the mosquitos, so it was very smoky when we were here, I was told this is how they prevent Dengue fever out breaks. Beds hard and tired as well as hard pillows. My back hurt everyday. Internet hardly worked if not at all. Our TV had 3-5 channels and had vertical fuze which made it hard to see. Breakfast was decent, but food was overall disappointing. Resort is remote so plan accordingly. It takes five staff members to make a Cocktail. Room service was ok, but not great. Would not return.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: TrendsBlue Elegant Solid Color Viscose Fringe Scarf - Different Colors Available; Brand: TrendsBlue; Review: I didn't want the usual "pashmina" style you can find anywhere for $5 or $10. These are lightweight, almost gauzy feeling and absolutely perfect for summer and early fall. I will probably wear them in the winter and maybe even intertwine two of them for a different look and a little more weight . Very happy with my purchase. I DID read the reviews - and agree with those that warn against sellers that are not "TrendsBlue".; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Classic Designs Tube Top Halter Maxi Dress / Coverup with Jewelry Trim in Silky 'ITY' Animal All-Over Print Fabric; Brand: Classic Designs; Review: Ordered this for my daughter that is bordering on xl/plus lx and it is a super cute, great fit. Comfortable and easy to wear. For me, and her, it is a must that you wear something "on top" and not bare if you are bigger than a medium.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Classic Designs Status Print Maxi Dress / Beach Cover Up in Silky 'ITY'; Brand: Classic Designs; Review: I ordered a 3x and it is a great fit. I want it "loose" so that no bumps, bulges or ridges are showing through the thinness of the fabric. This is nice and full and a super fabulous dress. Because of the busy print, I don't think I need a slip. It DOES seem long - so I have to wear nice tall platforms (which I love) or take about 4" off (and still wear platforms). It would be a good fit for a tall size also. It's super stretchy, very forgiving and I would definitely buy it again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DELIMIRA Women's Comfort Underwire Full Coverage Non-Foam Racerback Front Closure Bra; Brand: ; Review: I really like this bra. I DO think that when you order a front closure bra, it must be a bit larger because there are no ways to adjust like a back closing bra. This is super comfortable and I love that the straps are not constantly falling off my shoulders.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KOH KOH Women's Sexy Kimono Sleeve Floral Print Evening Cocktail Long Maxi Dress; Brand: ; Review: Its actually a little on the large side. It's cute fabric, hangs nicely but the top is big.

Title: Sankuwen Love Heart Key Lock Bracelet Pink; Brand: Sankuwen; Review: Super cute - and can't beat the price! Bought two. One for a stocking stuffer for my daughter and one for me.

Title: Casa Eli Roma; City: Rome Lazio; Review: Everything you read in the reviews is correct. We spent 4 nights Nov 21 - 24th. This is an awesome place to stay if you're in Rome and the perfect location. Elisabetta is helpful and communicates with you from the moment you make your reservation. She met us in the street when we arrived after dark, and jumped in the car to show us where the garage is and communicate with the attendant. (Right next to B&B). She provided tram tickets, maps of Rome and highlighted areas she suggested we see. She printed off tickets for us, made restaurant reservations, and pointed us to a laundry a few doors down the street. Two weeks into a month long Italy trip we were able to drop off 2 bags of laundry and pick it up later that day....all clean and for only 14 euros! The B&B is very modern, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and we left feeling like we had made a new friend! Being able to take a 15 minute tram into town was much more convenient than trying to drive and park. If we come back to Rome we will definitely stay at Casa Eli!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casale a Poggiano; City: Montepulciano Tuscany; Review: Mid November and we were the only guests so had it to ourselves for 4 nights. There are 3 rooms and a comfortable outer lounge with a table for breakfasts. In warm weather breakfast is served outside in the garden but it was too cold when we were there. Isolina was very nice and went out of her way to welcome us and make us feel at home. Great breakfasts with homemade jams, pastries, and egg dishes. When we decided to stay in one night, and eat fruits and snacks from the local grocery, Isolina brought us some of her great bread and jam to go with our snacks. Room was good sized with a large bathroom. B&B is about 1/4 mile off main road. It's a very bumpy, rutted, winding narrow dirt road. We even took a video of it going up. An adventure! At the top you park under an olive tree. Beautiful views of Montepulciano across the valley. Great location...... minutes to wall of Montepulciano, and 10 minutes to Pienza and easy drive to Bagno Vignoro and Abbazia Sal Galgano.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Marconi; City: Sirmione Province of Brescia Lombardy; Review: This is a great little Inn. Perfect location on the lake and close to attractions and restaurants. The staff of this family owned inn is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fantastic! Once you park your auto, you can walk to everything.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Borgo Antico Hotel; City: Como Lake Como Lombardy; Review: Borgo Antico Hotel is in a great location for visiting Como. It'a about a 10 minute walk to the old city. Room is large with plenty of space for luggage. Also a large bathroom with shower (with a rain shower head as well as a hand shower). We especially liked the exposed brick in the bedroom. There is a convenient desk for your laptop work, and reading lights on each side of the bed. Breakfast is served on the main floor. It is a help yourself buffet with fruit, yogurt, egg, meat, cheese, several cakes and croissants, juice and coffee. For those using the train the station is a short distance away. We had a car. Parking is just a few yards away in an area reserved for hotel guests. There is a 8 euro charge per day for parking.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sant Andrea; City: Santa Margherita Ligure Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: This is a small boutique hotel that is very clean and nicely decorated. The room was good sized for Italy with a nice big walk-in shower with a separate handshower! Very comfortable bed....the best we've found in the last 3 weeks touring Italy. Breakfasts are delicious with eggs cooked to order in little cast iron skillets. Also fruit, yogurt, cakes, breads, juices, meat and cheese. A short walk to shops, restaurants and the harbor. Note that parking inside the gate is limited, but I understand they also have parking on the street nearby. We checked in early so were able to park inside. We walked everywhere from the hotel so never had to move the car. Front desk is very helpful and had someone carry our heavy suitcases up the two flights of stairs. Also provided maps and information about walking to Portofino. That was the highlight of our stay. Beautiful walk along the coast and then through a national park area on a footpath.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa Monica B B; City: Sorrento Province of Naples Campania; Review: Nice room with a beautiful view overlooking Sorrento, the bay and Mt. Vesuvius. The scheduled shuttle service back and forth from town is much appreciated. The road to Villa Monica is very steep, very narrow (only room for one car), windy and bumpy. If you meet another car one must back up. It's nice not to worry about driving. Also parking in Sorrento is difficult Pasquale runs a scheduled shuttle to and from town several times a day. He also recommends great restaurants you might not find otherwise. Breakfast is good, and there is a nice common area to gather in the evenings with complimentary wine. It would be difficult to find a place with a better view!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sojourn Boutique Villas; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: We arrived with very high expectations since a family member had stayed here 7 years ago and loved it. I think it has slipped a little since that time. Pick-up at airport was nice touch. Free when you arrive but you need to pay for the return. As others have said it is a little out of town with rough dusty roads to get to it. The entry was very nice and we were greeted with cold lime water and sweet pancake snacks which were delicious. The pool area was beautiful but the pool itself could have been cleaner. Our room was very large and spacious, but it felt like it needed a better cleaning. There are tiny ants in the room and if you laid your phone on any surface there would be at least one on it when you picked it up. We also had these on the table and plates in the restaurant. The bed was VERY hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. They did put a pad on it after we asked and it was slightly more comfortable. There are only 11 rooms. We were the only people staying here the first night and only one other was with us the second night. Nights 3 & 4 probably had 3 rooms occupied. We did not get turn down service the first two nights. Had a very nice turn down with chocolates night 3 and on night 4 they turned the bed but not chocolates. The staff was all very friendly and nice and anxious to please. The driver and guides they arranged were terrific. The breakfast had a nice selection of dishes to try. Dinner was nicely served with a good selection of Cambodian and Western dishes. it was a bit on the expensive side. They brought out a "Welcome Bread" before your meal which was absolutely delicious! We loved visiting all the temples. Also did a tour to see the fishing village on stilts. Fascinating!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: MAS Country Platinum International; City: Toowoomba Queensland; Review: We stayed here for two nights while visiting family in Toowoomba. The rooms were lovely, clean, spacious and modern. The staff were also very friendly. Our package included full buffet breakfast in the restaurant and both mornings we went down to breakfast at about 9am. Our only complaint was that the buffet was fairly empty (i.e. low on bread, cooked breakfast, fruit etc) even though breakfast was due to still be served for another hour. Being the weekend, I would have thought they would cater for those who like to have a sleep in. Overall the stay was very pleasant.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royal Hotel Motel; City: Hughenden Queensland; Review: We stayed two nights at this motel while traveling for business. As there were not many options this seemed to be the one that locals in the area recommended. The hotel was old but the room was clean and spacious and the aircon worked really well. The bathroom was small and the shower wasn't too flash, but it was adequate enough. We had dinner in the on site pub, which was a little on the expensive side, however you certainly wouldn't go hungry with the size of the meals provided. The service was great and the room price very reasonable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Sydney Parramatta; City: Rosehill Parramatta Greater Sydney New South Wales; Review: I stayed at the Mercure Parramatta overnight while on business in Sydney. The room was clean however the four pillows I had were all very soft which didnt make for a great nights sleep. I ordered room service for dinner and instead of taking the estimated half hour for delivery, I waited over an hour for it to turn up. There was no apology for the delay. Check in and out was a breeze but I also arrived and departed during quieter times. I probably would stay here again but not if I could get another motel for the same price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rydges Southbank Townsville; City: Townsville Queensland; Review: I booked in for 2 nights at this hotel for a change to where I usually stay in Townsville and I was very disappointed. I felt that the price paid did not meet the quality of room I was given. The room was nothing like what I had seen in photos nor what I expected from this hotel chain. The decor was very dated, a few stains on the carpet and very thin pillows that made for a very uncomfortable sleep. The bathroom was in definite need of a makeover, the sink was cracked and the roof was quite low, luckily I am not a very tall person. The best part of my stay was the food, but it was very pricey also.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Quality Hotel Bathurst; City: Bathurst New South Wales; Review: I stayed here overnight for business in October. The room was clean, the decor a little outdated, but it was comfortable enough. There were a few cracked and chipped tiles in the bathroom and the towels looked like they were overdue for replacement. The room service menu was quite good and the meals pretty good value for money. The reception staff didn't provide much information on the hotel or point out that breakfast was complimentary to the stay I had booked. Overall the stay was ok and I probably would return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tiki Hotel Surfers Paradise; City: Gold Coast Queensland; Review: We stayed here as part of a Classic Holiday Club reward stay for attending a seminar. I didn't expect too much as I had read some poor reviews, however I was pleasantly surprised. Our room was on the 7th floor with a lovely view over the Nerang River. The room was clean and neat, although the furnishings were a little dated and tired. The bed was a bit firm for my liking although we did sleep ok. Even though we had read some reviews where people were too scared to cook in the kitchen in case the smoke alarm went off, we were able to cook our own toast and use the microwave without any problem. The large spa in the room was lovely. The grounds and the pool were great and the hotel a very short walk from Cavill Ave for dining and exploring.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hamilton Townhouse Motel; City: Hamilton Grampians Victoria; Review: I chose this motel based on the reviews from TripAdvisor and it was as expected. The room was a little small, but it was clean and the bathroom was spacious. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. I didn't eat from the room service menu instead choosing takeaway from one of the local businesses down the road.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sundowner Horsham Westlander Motor Inn; City: Horsham Grampians Victoria; Review: I checked in here as part of a work trip only to find that the room was nothing like what I had expected from the photos on the website. The room was located in one of the upstairs rooms and was supposed to be a Deluxe Room but was anything but deluxe. There was an smell about the whole place. The bathroom fittings were old and the bathroom was quite dark. There was a lounge in the room that was old and stained. There was an old style heater / cooler that I didn't turn on and there were spider webs with daddy long leg spiders in the corner. I promptly decided that I wasn't going to spend the night and checked out. I didn't even bother to get a refund. From now on I am going to be asking for an inspection at the hotels I stay at to avoid this same situation.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Hotel Perth City; City: Perth Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: I stayed here for 4 nights on a business trip. My 3rd floor room was comfortable, clean and had enough room for the solo traveler. The bathroom was ok and some bench space would have been nice, but overall not too bad. I had breakfast one morning in the restaurant which was nice, but probably a little overpriced. I would probably stay here again if needed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Warwick New York; City: New York City New York; Review: We stayed here for 6 nights while sightseeing in Manhattan. We stayed in 2 different rooms because the air conditioner broke down on the 3rd night. Both rooms we stayed in were on the 31st floor. The first room only had a view of a brick wall. The room was spacious enough, although dark, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was a little small. The toilet was running when we got there, but my husband was able to jiggle the flush lever to get it to stop. The decor was dated and due for a renovation as most items we worn or scratched. There was a mini bar, but no small fridge for us to be able to keep our water cold etc. By the 3rd night we noticed something wrong with the aircon. We called the front desk who sent someone who discovered it was broken and they promptly moved us to another room on the same floor. The second room had nicer view over 6th ave and it was also a little bigger, but with the same dated decor. There was also no free wifi service at this hotel. We didn't order room service as it was quite expensive, but the hotel was within walking distance of many places to eat and close to Central Park and not too far from Times Square. Overall it was good for our first stay in Manhattan, but I'd probably look somewhere else to stay if I visited again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Paradise Lakes Motel; City: Shepparton Greater Shepparton Victoria; Review: We stayed here for two nights as a family. The room was very spacious and clean. The motel is a little out of town, which didn't bother us as it was nice and quiet. The bathroom was also very big but the space could have been utilised better with a larger shower. The motel did say it had been recently renovated, however I'm not sure how recently, but it was comfortable enough. The room had a small kitchenette with microwave which was handy. Overall it was a comfortable and pleasant stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Burnie Ocean View Motel and Holiday Caravan Park; City: Burnie Tasmania; Review: We stayed overnight in the cabins and the accommodation wasn't very comfortable. The cabin was old and didn't feel clean. It also had a smell about it that wasn't very welcoming at all. The hot water in the shower was the best thing about the cabin as it was a cold night. The rating was only 3 star so I guess I can't expect much more. Next time I will be doing an inspection before checking in.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Commodore Regent; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: On arrival at this hotel we were disappointed to discover that the hotel was very dated.

We were also in a room that required scaling 4 sets of stairs, which was difficult for the older people were travelling with.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: MAS Country Club Motor Inn; City: Narrabri New South Wales; Review: We booked in to the Club Motor Inn for two nights just after Christmas. I called up to book the day we needed to arrive as it was a last minute decision to stay here. The staff were more than helpful in arranging a room that would accommodate our family. The room was lovely and spacious, enough room for our porta-cot as well. It had a full sized fridge and a microwave and was very clean and the air conditioning was brilliant.

The Villa was lovely, clean and spacious enough for all of us and even had a Webber BBQ on our front porch so we could cook our own BBQ. The kids loved the Kids Club activities as well as the playgrounds and jumping pillow. The staff were very kind and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Patriot Products 888000061 Standard Wood Chipper Leaf Shredder Collection Bag; Brand: Patriot; Review: When we first purchased our chipper, I was excited to use the thing. We had about 20 red tips and when it was time to trim...lets just say that it was a mess. I began using my new toy and it did not want to play well with others. When the wood is pressed into the chipper the outlet on the chipper starts shooting the chipped up wood. I was getting cut from all the wood pieces flying out. I promptly got on Amazon and found this product. Two days later I attached to my chipper outlet and it worked brilliantly. Not to mention the fact that I was scared to death of the thing. I figured out that I can use it and not be scared..one little bag can make a ton of difference. .; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rain Bird GRDNERKIT Drip Irrigation Gardener's Drip Kit; Brand: Rain Bird; Review: One of the best purchases I have made in a long time. Here in central Texas we have been in a drought for about five years. It has gotten so bad that there is a no watering at all order in effect. I live at a lake and the past several months have brought our lake high enough that we should be able to water intermittently. Micro drip irrigation is a concept that I have considered for many years and this year I decided to buy this for myself for mothers day along with the bucket kit for fixes and extensions. I have since bought more connections, lines, and emitters to add to the variety that makes this system special. I have an in ground sprinkler system that I have not been able to use at all for two years now. Even if I decided to turn it on, the neighbors would not be very happy with me nor will that water company. I currently use vegetables and some flowers as my landscaping. There are several reasons that this kit is a good starting point for all your watering needs. 1. This system is versatile to a point that once established you can change where the water goes, add to the system, make changes where ever you need, and is what I call idiot proof. Even if you make a mistake, it can easily be corrected with little effort. 2. Affordability. Even though I have made several purchases to add to my original starters kit, I still have less than one hundred dollars in my system. 3. All your watering needs are taken care of with little effort. The soaker type hose can also be tapped into to add additional watering connections. The Inch black hose carries the water wherever you need it. There are drips that can be set up at the base of the plant so that just the plant gets the water and no water is wasted. Micro sprayers in a half circle and full circle can cover a larger area all at one time and so on. There are so many options and the pieces needed are low cost and almost full proof. 4. Not only can others not see that I am watering, except for the fact that my grass may be dying but my vegetables, herbs, and flowers are growing like crazy, the amount of water required in minimal. Not a drop of water is wasted. Turn the water on and let it do its thing for thirty minutes or so depending on the amount of surface area that you watering, then just turn the water off. I have doubted some of my purchases in the past but this is not one of them. I will continue to add to my micro drip even after the drought. I never have to worry if I missed plants while watering or that I might not have laid down enough water.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Pleatco PRB50-IN Spa Pool Filter, 1 Cartridge; Brand: Pleatco; Review: My hot tub was given to me and before I got my hands on it, it was left alone and empty except for rain water and trash that sat in the bottom. Cleaning out the lines was extremely hard and time consuming. There was no way that I could clean it all out. This filter was one of the cheaper ones that I found on Amazon, so I figured that I would be replacing it soon. However I was wrong. In a matter of a week my spa was crystal clear and running perfectly. Every week I take it out and clean it and it looks brand new after every cleaning. It has been a month now and I know I should replace it soon, but it still works like it is brand new. I am ordering a few as back ups and I deffinately will replace in a month or so, but right now I am enjoying a beautiful crystal cleat spa and I have to note that I have four teenagers. three of them boys and there is a lot of traffic almost daily from several people.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Thi is especially important piece to my network of drip irrigation through out my arden and my landscaping.

Title: Holiday Inn Express Sault Ste Marie; City: Sault Ste Marie Northeastern Ontario Ontario; Review: We stayed in mid-October and they had almost completed their transformation into a Holiday Inn Express. Everything has been upgraded. The lobby is welcoming and bright. The individual rooms we were told were gutted and then re-done with all new decor. The expanded hot breakfast (which is standard with all Holiday Inn Expresses) was a nice treat before a long early morning car ride. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Norwood Motel; City: Terrace Bay Thunder Bay District Ontario; Review: Stayed here mid-October and this place was just the ticket. The room had two double beds, a microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The motel is right on the TransCanada. Next door is the business district and Costa's Food Market which allowed me to cut down on my meal costs. The room was dated but clean. The bathroom had a tub and a shower. The motel is frequented by travelling construction workers but I had no problems with noise from them or the highway. Overall I would highly recommend for the price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Wisconsin Dells; City: Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin; Review: My wife and I chose to stay here for a conference I was attending rather than pay the high price the resort was charging where the conference was. Overall we were very happy with our choice. We arrived several hours early and we thought we would have to wait to get our room. However, we were told the room was ready and we could get right in. During check-in they brought out a dice game and announced that because I was an IHG rewards member I was entitled to roll for some perks like ice cream treats or extra reward points. Fun! The place was quiet enough and the breakfast was fairly decent. In the room we had the sink was outside of the bathroom which was a little strange at first but it allowed us to get ready at different times. The hotel is close to all of the amenities and is right off the highway. It has a little store by the front desk and lots of free parking as well. A final note - being vegetarians we ate at The Cheese Factory both nights we were in the Dells. The place was awesome and usually packed with families. We highly recommend!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Chicago Downtown; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: When trying to select a hotel for our four-night stay to Chicago my wife and I knew we wanted a clean, reasonably-priced hotel in the River North area. This place did not disappoint. We followed the directions on the hotel's site and used the CTA to get to the hotel from O'Hare Airport. It was quick and painless and we saved tons of money by not taking a cab. The walk to the hotel from the CTA station was about 90 seconds. The beautiful lobby was inviting and we checked in very easily. We noticed a sign near the elevator that said if the city noise bothers you that they provide free ear plugs. We then made our way up to the 8th floor to a room that fronted W. Illinois Street. Upon looking out the window we noticed the hotel is right next door to a fire station! We heard plenty of sirens throughout the day but maybe because we were so tired from walking we were not disturbed at all during the night. If you think the noise might bother you though you might want to request a room on a high floor on the side away from W. Illinois Street. On the subject of noise we actually found that the room doors in the hallway made more noise than the firefighters. It seemed that each door had no softening mechanism on them and so if you let the door go they would slam shut. NOTE TO THE MANAGER - please fix this! We chose a room with a king bed and a wet bar. The bed was comfy and the signs say they launder the sheets daily. The wet bar was handy for prepping a few meals in the room and for keeping some water bottles cold for walks. There are several shops in the area selling groceries including a Trader Joe's. The free breakfast was another reason we chose this place. The food was plentiful and very good. There are hot waffle stations, cold cereal, bagels, hot foods like eggs and meat, yogurts, etc. It was an excellent way to start each day! The location was also primo. It was about 5 minutes to Lou Malnatti's Pizza or Pizzeria Uno. It was also within walking distance to all the attractions we wanted to visit on both sides of the river. This place was very popular with families. But we also saw many business travelers here too. We would recommend this place without hesitation and I will consider other Hampton properties in future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites Watertown 1000 Islands; City: Watertown New York; Review: Stayed here for an overnight shopping trip to Watertown. Just needed a bed for the night and breakfast in the morning. The place was good and the breakfast was adequate. I would consider staying here again on my trip to Watertown.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Drury Inn Suites Orlando; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We knew nothing of this chain of hotels (please come to Canada!) and we based our selection on the TripAdvisor ratings. We went in skeptical and came away believers. We were not disappointed in our choice and would gladly stay here again! We came to Orlando for a trip to Universal and we could not have chosen better. We arrived at the hotel and learned it is situated very close to everything. There was ample FREE parking and when we checked in all we could smell was the FREE popcorn. That is right - FREE popcorn and fountain drinks from 3-10 pm daily. The lobby was very clean and modern. The hotel is only a couple of years old and everything is well maintained. When we checked in they had us on the 2nd floor. My wife and I asked for a quieter room so they put us in a quiet corner on the 5th floor. We also found out our room had views of the nightly fireworks display at Epcot. NOTE: They make guests sign a form stating after 10 pm is quiet time and loud noise is forbidden. The room was fairly big. We chose two queen beds as it came with a tub instead of one king as it only comes with a shower. Our room had a microwave and bar fridge to keep a little stuff cold. There was also a large LCD TV in each room which had multiple USB and HDMI ports (in case you are bringing your own entertainment). After check-in we headed back down for the FREE 5:30 Kickback promotion. This is where you get alcoholic drinks and food (the menu rotates but on this day it was hot dogs, pasta, baked potatoes, salad, chips & salsa, etc.). There is beer on tap and an assortment of mixed drinks. Every morning there was also a FREE hot breakfast. There was generally eggs, potatoes, sausage patties, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal, waffles, etc. There is also a large assortment of cold items like cereal, yogurt, fruit, etc. It was an excellent way to fill up before heading out to the parks. The hotel is very close to most amenities. Universal Orlando was about a 5 minute drive away. You are close to the action on International Drive. There was also a wide assortment of restaurants available on Sand Lake Road. There are also Walmart and a Publix grocery stores close by if you want snacks for the parks. Overall, we found our stay here most enjoyable. After long days at Universal we found ourselves looking forward to coming back to the room and flaking out. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel. I HIGHLY recommend this place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: American Standard 2403.128.222 Compact Cadet-3 FloWise One-Piece Toilet, Linen,American Standard,2403128.222" />; Brand: American Standard; Review: From the start my compact one-piece would not flush all of it - adults and kids alike. Not only that, one had to stand there with finger on the lever forever before it would finally clear. From the start it would refill every day or two, on its own. I thought it was the flapper and I replaced it 3 times to no avail. The refilling process slowly occurred more and more then after 12 years it would not fill at all, the water simply ran out the drain hole. The exit hole in the flush valve mechanism was broken in two, top to bottom. One year ago I installed a replacement and today it has broken yet again. This disappointment of a toilet is going to the curb just as soon as a replacement of another brand name gets here. I fear that American Standard is resting much too comfortably on its laurels. It only deserves one star for its lack of dependability but I gave it two because it was attractive. Trying to use it however, turned both me and the toilet ugly.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Pfister Vega Single Control 4" Centerset Bathroom Faucet, Polished Chrome; Brand: Pfister; Review: This faucet makes me want to play in the water - as I would in a gentle clear stream of nature.

Title: Kohler K-37054-2BZ Alteo Pivoting Toilet Tissue Holder, Oil-Rubbed Bronze; Brand: Kohler; Review: At last! Relief from the tyranny of those worrisome little spring loaded tissue holders.

Title: Soda or Water Bottle Fitting Pocket Lota Bidet and Screw on Soda Water Bottle Bidet; Brand: Fab International LLC; Review: The one that screws on works very well. It squirts sufficient water on the targeted area to cleanse it. The other one that fits inside the bottle opening I have not tried. Time has lapsed now and I have tried the nozzle that fits inside the bottle. It shoots a good enough stream of water with little pressure on the plastic bottle but it does not seal very well and the water dribbles from the neck while it streams from the end. I probably will not use it again but some people may not be bothered by it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: RinseWorks - Aquaus 360 Patented Hand Held Bidet - With ABS Polymer Sprayer - NSF Certified; Brand: RinseWorks; Review: Granted, this will not help while you are at work but evenings and weekends makes it worthwhile. Even if one uses fold upon fold of toilet paper, it does not always protect one's hand from leaked feces. After you have wiped/blotted the residue, bits of paper is left clinging to the skin as well as feces/urine residue, where it ripens and reeks. Toilet paper sheets get ever thinner and the rolls narrower while the cost escalates. Use it once and no more. The only thing good about it is its portability - better than nothing. Once you are home, you can cleanse yourself without even taking your clothes off or having yet another shower. Cleanse, towel off, toss the towel in the laundry basket where it can be washed and used over and over. If you insist on using toilet paper to dry off, it will cling to your skin and cost you plenty to keep in supply - save it for the guest who may not be bidet savvy. This should be a god-send for the uncircumcised male because nothing but soap and water will wash away the reek generated by the accumulation of smegma and urine residue. Three minutes with this bidet wand and he is free of it. This is better than a bidet fixture or toilet-seat bidet either one because even though their jets are adjustable they remain stationary until readjusted. With the wand, you move it where you want it when you want to! Never again, while you are at home, will you have to pull your underwear up over a residue-ridden bottom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Tools_and_Home_Improvement |

Title: Royal Solaris Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We stayed here April 18th through the 25th. It was booked last minute and because it was cheap. The hotel is kind of the equivalent of a Comfort Inn in the U.S. I thought we got what we paid for. Our room was right next to the elevator but surprisingly quiet. As others have said only the 7th floor has balconies, the rest do not. If you are scuba diving while there, it is a huge inconvenience to not be able to hang things outside to dry. The rooms are very dated, ours had water stains on the ceiling and old patches and holes from where previous fixtures have been. It was clean however and our cleaning person did a great job. They only give you 4 bottles of water a day in the fridge but will leave more if you ask them to at the front desk. The beds are hard as everyone has said, but so far that has been the case any where we have stayed in Cancun. You can ask for some blankets and they will bring them to your room and you can use those to pad the bed a little. The water pressure and temperature in the shower is inconsistent, especially at peak times of the day. For the most part we usually had hot water and good pressure. There is very little to do at the hotel so if you are not doing excursions, diving or the beach is too strong to swim that day you could be quite bored. The constant pushing to try to get you to listen to their time share stuff is quite annoying. Both concierge desks are right in front of the elevators and they are always trying to get you. The food was the worst part. The Marco Polo was hit and miss as to whether it was better or just as bad as the buffet. We found lunch at Rosemarinus by the pool to be a little better and the pizza at the pool snack area was probably the best thing we ate. Don't pay for a taxi. The bus goes every where all day and night and can be picked up outside just about anywhere. It costs $10.50 Mexican or $1 U.S. per person each way. You can't really beat that. You have to pay for WiFi, even in the lobby area. It is $16 U.S. a day. You can choose however many days you want when you log in. When you check out they collect the money then and you can only pay with pesos or by credit card. The WiFi is not very strong either. We would not stay here again, there are much nicer places. We did have a relaxing time though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sunscape Curacao Resort Spa Casino; City: Willemstad Curacao; Review: We would not stay here again if we were to go back. Our first room was in the Royal Towers which is right next to the live entertainment that goes on each night until Midnight and it sounds like they are playing inside your room. Limited air-conditioning throughout the resort. If you like to eat where it is cool your ONLY option is the Italian restaurant. Other than that it is pretty much just your room. Beach is nice, onsite dive operator is very good. House reef is awesome! Employees in restaurants are very nice, they ones working at the front desk could really care less about you.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: TownePlace Suites Bridgeport Clarksburg; City: Bridgeport West Virginia; Review: My room was comfortable and quiet. It had a full size fridge, microwave, 2 burner cooktop, coffee maker, cups,plates, silverware, etc. The breakfast was very good, plenty to fill up on. Front desk was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Key Largo; City: Key Largo Florida Keys Florida; Review: We had another good stay May 6th to the 13th. Our room was clean and quiet, everything worked correctly and it was cleaned well each day. If you are looking for a luxury hotel this is not your place. However, if you are looking for somewhere clean, quiet and that provides breakfast every morning this is the place for you. Breakfast had a good variety. Eggs, Meat, Fruit, Muffings/danish, waffles, juice, coffee, tea, water, etc. I believe it is from 0600 to 1000 each morning. We won't hesitate to stay there again in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Frisco; City: Frisco Texas; Review: First room the key didn't work. Ended up having to go up and down from the 4th floor three times because of it before being asked to switch to a new room. It was 10:30 at night and I had all my luggage with me. Needless to say I was not happy. However, after that I had no issues. The room was clean and had a small fridge. I didn't love the shower head and would have preferred a garden tub. The free breakfast is okay but will do in a pinch. The place was over run with boys soccer teams most of the week, thank God my room was far enough away not to be kept awake by them. I would choose to stay some where else the next time, but it would probably be a good choice for a family.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bubba Classic Insulated Desk Mug, 34 oz, Black; Brand: BUBBA BRANDS; Review: I bought this mug at Walmart because I needed a replacement for my old Thermos Stainless King 40-Ounce Beverage Bottle, Midnight Blue which I misplaced. As other reviewers noted, this product leaks quite a bit if you turn it upside down. I haven't had a problem with it leaking when I'm drinking, but if I accidentally stumble while carrying this thing, I pretty much expect to get a bit of coffee on me. On the plus side, it keeps my coffee piping hot for about four hours. Overall I'd say it's worth the price, but if you want a very high quality mug, go with the Thermos I linked to.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 13 Piece Bartending Kit; Brand: Bottles-Up; Review: This is an outstanding novice bartending kit. Before I bought this kit, the most complicated cocktail I had ever made was a whiskey and coke. This was largely because, a) I had never been interested in making mixed drinks, and b) I lacked the tools to make them if I was so inclined. After purchasing this extremely cheap kit, I started practicing making a variety of drinks, and thanks to the help of this kit, mastered a number of them. This kit can easily handle drinks like the amaretto sour (uses egg whites) to Mai Tais (minus the mint). However, there are a few things that this kit does not do exceptionally well. First, it lacks a muddler as well as a small secondary strainer (necessary for citrus based drinks). I picked up both at my local dollar store, but if you're looking for an absolutely complete kit, this 13 Piece option is probably not right for you. Second, the Hawthorne strainer is not particularly comfortable. Sometimes the metal feels like it's digging into the skin. This will likely only become an issue if you're bartending at a large party. Finally, it would have been nice if the twists on the spoon extended all the way to the red cap. This would make it slightly easier to stir drinks. These are all minor complaints. The reality is, the 13 Piece Kit is outstanding, both because of the price, and because one year after I purchased this, everything is still as new looking as the day I bought it (I'm a college student in Greek life. This gets used extremely often).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Memory Foam 8 Inch Green Tea Mattress, Queen; Brand: Zinus; Review: I love this bed! It was extremely easy to set up, the foam is extremely comfortable, and it sits high above the ground. If I ever move and need to buy a new mattress, this is the one I'll buy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Top Shelf Flasks Stainless Steel Flask & Funnel Set, 8 oz; Brand: Top Shelf Flasks; Review: It's pretty hard to mess up a flask. This thing doesn't leak and the only things that I taste while drinking it are the booze and my mother's tears as I frivolously waste my young adult years at various bars on the weekends. No metal aftertaste is present.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Estilo 13 Piece Stainless Steel Professional Bar Tool Set; Brand: Estilo; Review: I love this kit, as an occasional home bartender. The price is excellent and all of the metal components seem pretty sturdy. The pouring spouts are basically garbage, in that they do not efficiently limit the pouring speed like more expensive metal ones do. However, that's what the jigger is for. My only real gripes, since I didn't even think I'd use the spouts before I bought it, are that the base on the Boston shaker could use a little more heft, and that the spoon's twists do not extend the length of it. When mixing drinks, this can be annoying if the hand touches the non twisted, rectangular part of the soon. Still, for the price, it's excellent and I have no regrets about buying this.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind & Brew 12 Cup Coffeemaker, Chrome; Brand: Cuisinart; Review: Easy enough to set up. Coffee tastes awesome.

Title: Cocoon Hotel; City: Pune Pune District Maharashtra; Review: The first thing I like about the Hotel Cocoon, Pune is its location. It is located very near to the Airport. It takes 20 minutes from the Pune Airport to the Hotel Cocoon. It is located inside the well developed Magarpeta City. They have airport pickup and drop facility. It means no need to worry on searching of the hotel. All the attendants are very supportive and always try to make you live in comfortable. The hotel is having Wi-fi networking facility, you can surf internet by sitting in any corner of the hotel. The ambiance of the hotel is very nice, specially the restaurant. The ambiance of the rooms, bathrooms are very good. Hot water is available 24 hours. Each room is segregated in two parts. One is guest room and another is bed room. LCD is fitted in the room. Microwave, freeze is available in each room. You can warm/cool water for your drinking purpose. The food is very tasty i.e. they prepare and serve you as per your taste. Especially non-vegetable is very tasty. Adjacent to the hotel there is a well maintained shopping centre wherein you can find spicy foods (Veg & Non-veg), Chinese food, Punjabi Food, toys for kids, restaurants, Banks, ATM, grocery shops, fruit shops. This shopping complex is most happening place for all type of people. The crowd of the shopping complex is very good. The hotel maintains very good hygienic environment. The hotel is having very good safety features like smoke detectors are fitted at each corner of the hotel also inside the rooms. Cigar smoking is not allowed inside the rooms. You can smoke in the very well maintained balcony. The Magarpeta City is well connected to all the major places of Pune.

Title: Hotel Hamta View; City: Prini Manali Tehsil Kullu District Himachal Pradesh; Review: The first thing I like about the Hotel Hamta View, Manali is its location. From here you can see the hills, mountains filled with snow. Three four kilo metres far from the Mall Road, Manali. But you will find restaurants near this Hotel. All the attendants are very supportive and always try to make you live in comfortable. The ambiance of the hotel is very nice, the super deluxe rooms are fitted with mirror from three side and good for honeymoon. The ambiance of the rooms, bathrooms are very good. Hot water is available 24 hours. Each room is segregated in two parts. One is guest room or for kids and another is bed room. LCD is fitted in the room. The food is not good and do not try have food inside the hotel. GO out for shopping at the mall road, you will find number of restaurants.

Title: Boston Marriott Copley Place; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: Wow! This hotel is amazing! We got a great rate on priceline (80.00). We were first given a room that was supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like smoke, and then we asked to move, requesting a harbor view if possible. We were given a room on the 27th floor with a beautiful view!! The beds were soo comfy and the bathroom nice and big. The hotel is attached to the shopping malls so that was perfect. The workout facility was fine. The pool and hot tub were large and clean. The staff was very helpful and even made dining reservations for us.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Hartford Manchester; City: Manchester Connecticut; Review: A clean, cozy hotel but the beds are not comfortable! Nice breakfast with waffles on request. Friendly staff. But the beds....I'll stay elsewhere for better beds.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Green Mountain Suites Hotel; City: South Burlington Vermont; Review: I purchased a gift certificate for my parents to stay at the Hawthorne Suites. I visited them for a night and it was great! The rooms have a small kitchen area, living room with TV, and adjacent bedroom. Beds were comfortable. Room was clean. Bathroom was spacious. The hotel also has a fairly large pool and hot tub. In the lobby there is a resident cat and a fireplace that they run during the colder months. A stay at the Suites includes a free hot/cold breakfast buffett. Cozy feel and very helpful staff.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sonesta ES Suites Burlington; City: Williston Vermont; Review: I am a big fan of the Marriott chain but was extremely disappointed with my stay at the Williston Residence Inn. We booked a room for Valentine's. Upon arrival the fireplace in our room was not on and we were told we had to purchase the burning bricks separately (which I had not been aware of) for 6.00 a brick! The room was nice, kitchen area, small living room with TV and fairly comfortable bed. However the hot tub was not working and the pool was dirty. When I asked the desk about the hot tub they said it was broken and needed repair (what a disappointment, especially because it was winter at the time and that is when you need a hot tub the most!) Also to get to breakfast we had to walk outside of our building to the main building (in bitter Vermont winter weather) and the breakfast was not up to par. Poor selection, stale waffles. Yuck. When I mentioned some of my frustrations at the desk upon checkout the staff was less than helpful or even kind enough to lend an ear! I did end up writing a letter expressing my displeasure to the Marriott company and received a free night's stay. However I never used this because I had no great desire to return to this hotel.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Hartford South Glastonbury; City: Glastonbury Connecticut; Review: We stayed for one night. Free cookies in the afternoon. Attractive lobby with fireplaces. Complimentary coffee and newspapers in the morning was a nice perk. Breakfast buffet was additional charge but looked tempting. Hotel room was large and free internet access was great! Only issues were that the beds were not that comfortable (could have been worse, could have been better, but lots of pillows) and air temperature kept cooling room rather than heating it. We just turned it off. One other thing, the hot tubs bubbles weren't working great. Pool is small. But the hot tub was hot atleast! Also the staff was very friendly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Kimberly s Swiss Hotel Coron; City: Coron Busuanga Island Palawan Province Mimaropa; Review: 1000php for an aircon room with functioning ensuite. I had a few issues, broken toilet, pillows too hard, but these were sorted out very quickly. To turn off the aircon I had to stand on a chair. It's nice enough and quiet. Problem is that as other newer accommodation becomes available older establishments like this will suffer if they don't keep up. Walking distance to the town and the dive shops.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maryo Resort; City: Chiang Rai Chiang Rai Province; Review: Fantastic well maintained hotel. Little bit out of town but they offer free mini bus and bicycles. Rooms and beds are very comfortable. Rain head option in the hot water shower. Nice swimming pool with towels. Air-conditioning and WiFi work well. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Free breakfast was high quality. Only improvement I would suggest would be fly screens on the windows so I could sleep with an open window.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: B2 Chiang Rai; City: Chiang Rai Chiang Rai Province; Review: Great location but lacking in everything else. I guess for AU$24 a night I should be giving 5 stars. We had a superior room but the walls were thin and we were joined by mosquitoes. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was passable. Staff are very friendly and the hotel is very clean.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Radiant Hotel and Spa; City: Tuban Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: Nice well presented hotel. Off the main drag with a 500m walk down an unlit road. Staff are very friendly, surrounds are well presented but I didn't try either of the two swimming pools. Room was dated and furniture has a second hand look about it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harmoni Inn Hotel Makassar; City: Makassar South Sulawesi Sulawesi; Review: Nice enough hotel but not the best part of town. You walk out a look at a wall of shipping containers. Cost 120000 from the airport and 80000 back to the bus station. Staff are 100% especially Andi. Excellent English and eager to serve. Next time I will save the taxi fare and spend it on a better located hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Budget Hotel Makassar; City: Makassar South Sulawesi Sulawesi; Review: 350,000rh for 6 hour 'transit special'. 6am till noon. Would have been ok if the shower worked. OK for a transit stop but I think it might be worth checking out cheaper hotels and adding the cost of a taxi.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Manggar Indonesia Hotel Residence; City: Tuban Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: Nice hotel. My stay was only an overnight transit stop. Not far from Kuta beach or the airport. Plenty of restaurants and massage parlours within easy walking distance. Certainly value for money even if the fittings in the bathroom are looking crusty. Nice swimming pool and staff are very friendly and professional. I will be back to stay a night on my return to fly home.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Abangan Bungalow; City: Ubud Gianyar Regency Bali; Review: Was pleasent enough. Great location, quiet with friendly staff. Nice swimming pool and nice view from the room. Air-conditioning didn't do much but there are enough windows to open for a breeze. Right on the edge of town and next to a rice fields walk. Breakfast was good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Orient Hotel; City: Fremantle Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: Just walking by on our way around the old town. Glad we chose this place for a meal. 50m off the crowded tourist strip. Excellent place for a meal or a night out. Very friendly staff with a great atmosphere.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BS Premier Airport Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: Pick up from the airport was hard to find. Information desk pointed me in the right direction. ... 50m away to the 'lower class' hotel meeting point. Hotel is value for money. Close to the airport and a 50 bhat taxi to the skytrain. Staff are friendly, pool is beautiful and cleanliness is as expected. I will stay here every time I have a BKK stop over; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ploy Khumthong Boutique Resort; City: Bangkok; Review: For a stop over its ok but it's a taxi to the nearest shop and right next to the airport runway. It's a good hotel just in a poor location. Free water, tea coffee etc. I had problems with mosquitoes. I won't stay here again because the noise of the overhead aircraft was just too much.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mitre House Hotel; City: London England; Review: It's all good but I would pass on breakfast. Staff are very friendly and professional. Rooms, whilst clean, are small which is expected given the location. Less than 5 minutes walk to Paddington Station, underground trains and the Heathrow Express. Breakfast had mouldy bread and poorly cooked bacon, eggs and beans. Great places to eat around the corner. I would stay here again but skip breakfast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Juno Hotel; City: Jakarta Java; Review: Started off badly. Dirty room and bedding with an odd smell. I think the rooms on the lower floors are the cheap noisy rooms. After I complained to the staff and booking.com we were moved to the top floor. Much cleaner and quieter room although the layout was the same. Rooms are very small with not enough space to leave a suitcase or unpack your clothes. The included breakfast was very poor except for the omelette if available! Sitting was very limited and dirty plates were let on the tables. It was so cluttered with dirty plates that people had to stack them on chairs to make enough room on the table. Only gave 2 stars because they changed rooms. Around 10pm a staff member walked into the room and left, without a word, after they saw myself and my partner on the bed.....; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: RJ Brown Hotel; City: Beijing; Review: Excellent hotel and very friendly professional staff. While the rooms are value for money the towels are amazingly soft. Very helpful English speaking staff and you can take all the major tours from here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yanggakdo Hotel; City: Pyongyang; Review: I loved this hotel.. Great rooms, very clean and friendly staff. Everything you need is in the hotel. Revolving restaurant, several bars, swimming pool, ping pong, massage, shops, post office and a haircut. Breakfast was either table service or a buffet; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beijing Sky House Business; City: Beijing; Review: Very industrial look. It's close to the airport but that's it. If your stop over is long enough to book a hotel then you have enough time to go somewhere else. Whilst the staff were very friendly and professional the poor condition of the room was terrible. Be careful of the name as another hotel has a similar name.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Ripley Court Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: Our group of four persons stayed 3 nights at the Ripley Court and had an enjoyable stay. The rooms were nice enough, excellent shower, hairdryers were provided. I was thankful that the room sharing the wall at the head of my bed was the other room in our group, as the wall was quite thin and we could hear them clearly. Breakfast was decent, although the one morning I went later the food was rubbery from sitting out so long. Staff was generally fine, with two exceptions: 1) on our last morning, a maid banged on our door at 8 am to clean the room! and 2) most front desk staff were unable to answer any questions about anything other than the hotel itself. Overall, a decent experience, esepcially considering the rate, which was below most other comparable hotels.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Les Colombes; City: Verdun Meuse Grand Est; Review: We stayed at the Hotel Les Colombes in May 2006, because it was the first hotel on our list that we came across on the way from the train station into town. We ended up being very pleased with our choice of hotel - the staff was friendly, the hotel clean, and the rooms quite large. The location is a little walk from the town center, which was fine with us but may be a concern for others. The included breakfast was served in a cheerful breakfast room and was adequate (bread, coffee/tea, jam, juice). There are some good restaurants right nearby as well as a couple of bakeries. Overall, we felt the hotel was an excellent value for the price (35 Euro per night for a double).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Brussels City; City: Saint Josse ten Noode Brussels; Review: I redeemed HiltonHonors points to stay here in mid-May. Not much to add to other room descriptions, except that our shower had a bizarre setup where moving one's body unfailingly caused the shower hose, and thus the shower head, to spray the bathroom floor. Staff were generally nice. We passed on the over-priced meals in the hotel. We had chosen this hotel for its proximity to the train station, which is very convenient. Bottom line: decent place to stay, but I would not pay the rack rate to stay here.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Omni Cancun Resort Villas; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We had a group of 6 women and got a villa at the Omni. It was very nice - very spacious, attractive decor, all of the amenities one could want (TV, stereo, equipped kitchen). The pools were a very short walk out the back door, and the main lobby a short walk from the front. The Omni pools were perfect - great water temperatures and, in September, plenty of seating and tables for everyone. Poolside service was friendly and very good. We never even used the swim-up bars, as we were so happy elsewhere in the pools! We did not do the inclusive package and I did regret that. There are few off-property restaurants nearby, and the menu food at couple of the Omni restaurants was small portions and bland, with the exception of the beach restaurant which was good. The buffet, which we purchased for dinner one evening, was much better and made me think that the inclusive package here is probably the better way to go. Overall a very nice property.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Microtel Inn Suites by Wyndham Kalamazoo; City: Kalamazoo Kalamazoo County Michigan; Review: I stayed at this hotel on a Friday night as a stopover on my way to Detroit. The woman who checked me in was very nice and friendly in a professional manner, and answered the couple of questions I had. My room was right by the elevator, and I was apprehensive about the noise from people coming and going. I shouldn't have been - that was the least of the noise issues. The soundproofing between neighboring rooms and those above and below seemed to be non-existent, and I was kept awake - and awakened - by people in other rooms talking, etc, They didn't seem excessively loud, that is, they weren't shouting or anything; all of the walls just seemed to be paper thin. Wifi, while free, was a bit sluggish. The breakfast in the morning included only one hot option, waffles, which was somewhat disappointing. The gentleman at the front desk who checked me out was, again, incredibly courteous and friendly. Overall, no complaints about staff but I'd think twice about staying here on a weekend night if I wanted a good night's sleep.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Language of Flowers; Author: Visit Amazon's Vanessa Diffenbaugh Page; Review: The difficulty comes with the pain the main character suffers in this book.

Title: Low Tide (The Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Dawn Lee McKenna Page; Review: I spent a couple years as a teenager on Saint George Island so this book brought back so many fond memories. It kept my interest from start to finish. I'm so excited to see that it is a series. Very good writing style. Easy to read but with really good grammar and language skills used. This would be a great book to take to the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Magick Made Easy: Charms, Spells, Potions and Power; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Telesco Page; Review: This book I believe is one of her best.

Title: Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War; Author: Visit Amazon's Mark Bowden Page; Review: I could not put this book down. The encounters these men had to face is just jawdropping.

Title: In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors; Author: Visit Amazon's Doug Stanton Page; Review: At first I was kinda back and forth whether to read this book. But I am glad I did from beginning to end was amazing what the men had to do to survive. Saddening because it was based on true events but learning about their experiences and what happened when no one else in the United States knew what was going on was just heart wrenching. I am glad I read this book. I bought it but lost it awhile back so I decided to buy it again and I am glad I did. Just pure in your face history and never got boring to read. I was actually on the edge of my seat the whole time and didn't want to put it down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Notebook; Author: Visit Amazon's Nicholas Sparks Page; Review: The Notebook is one of my favorite books by Sparks. He did a great job and I thought the movie came out great as well.

I feel it captures a great love story with paths that can lead to a different ending or different adventure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dear John; Author: Visit Amazon's Nicholas Sparks Page; Review: I loved this book because of the war story behind it. I love World War 2 stories but have not been able to find any lately so I got this one. I loved it and I can't wait to see the movie that comes out. The book I thought was romantic and one of Spark's good novels. I would say that The Notebook is his all time best though.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Guardian (Sparks, Nicholas); Author: Visit Amazon's Nicholas Sparks Page; Review: I liked this book but I would not read it a second time.

Title: Notebook; Author: Nicholas Sparks; Review: I loved this movie. I watched it so much that I had to buy a new copy of it on DVD. I love how it sets place during World War 2 and I believe everyone would love to experience a love like the one they have.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Olomomo Flavor Packed Snack Roasted/Seasoned in Small Batches, Non-GMO, Paleo, Natural, Gluten Free and Made with Organic; Brand: Olomomo; Review: I bought these just because my husband loves pecans and I'm on a curry/masala kick!! I thought between the two of us, surely one of us would love them. I don't know if we loved them, but they were pretty tasty in my opinion. They had a lovely sweet mapley taste infused with a cumin/cinnamon/nutmeg/clovey taste. I think I was hoping for a little more curry taste but that's just because I associate garam masala with Indian curry. The pecans are a little "soft" which I wasn't crazy about, but I guess when they're packaged like this, maybe there's no other option. I would also like to say that the package states 3.25 ounces and then there's a bar code paper taped to the back that says 4 ounces. I think that for the price of $19.99 the package should be a little larger. As a buyer and a reviewer, I pride myself on giving honest and unbiased reviews.

Title: Apple iPod touch 32GB Black MC544L/A (4th Generation) (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Apple; Review: I love my new iPod, but only wish I had gotten the one with more memory. Don't be fooled when they say the 8GB model can hold 2,000 songs. Unless they are all less than 2 minutes, I seriously doubt it. More like 750-1000. Still a lot of music.

Title: Out of the Black; Author: Visit Amazon's Lee Doty Page; Review: I found myself really wanting to like this book, enjoying the author's characters and basic concept. However, I am one of those people who finds certain things so distracting, they make it impossible to concentrate on (or enjoy) the story. If any of these are 'pet peeves' for you, you may want to skip this author until he gets a better editor. (If not - by all means, read it. Good story concept, likeable characters, and an author worth supporting while his work matures). The things that took me away from the story: Chronology. The "bouncing around in time" gimmick has always annoyed me, and when, halfway through the book, it was finally revealed that the story was not being presented chronologically, it was a great distraction to spend time trying to figure out where 'this' (whatver I happened to be reading at the time) fit into the overall timeline. That said, it is less intrusive and less annoying in this book than almost anywhere else I have encountered it. English. Poor grammar, absence of spell-check, and misuse of/improperly spelled words abound. Even without an editor, your spell-check should inform you that the electricity in the sky is "lightning" not "lightening." Cinema. The author clearly likes some fun movies. So much so that he feels the need to describe his fight scenes as though he is giving instructions to the crew at ILM for how to present them in the next installment of The Matrix. This might appeal to some of the teenagers I have met (or not!), but gets old fast for the grown-ups. Timing. The author seems to enjoy providing the history and personality details of his characters as mini-memory-flashbacks in the middle of his fight scenes ("life flashing before you as you prepare to die"?). The juxtaposition is jarring and makes it harder to track the action. It's entirely possible that the Matrix fight descriptions might have worked a lot better for me if they had not been interspersed with irrelevant detail (well, irrelevant to the current action - pertinent character exposition if presented in a more conducive fashion). All that said - it was a good story and if I see more items by this author, I would still consider them. In future, however, I will look for previews and samples to determine whether his editor has stepped it up a notch before subjecting myself to anything lengthy. If you are one of those people, like me, who finds this sort of thing distracting, you may enjoy the story but will not enjoy reading this book. If that sort of thing does not bother you, or if you are the sort who skims without really reading carefully anyway, the book is a fun story, an interesting take on some classic themes, and can be a good time. Edited, 2013: I received a note from the author with questions - he seemed genuinely interested in understanding my comments. An updated edition corrected many errors (and we peacefully and pleasantly disagree about the time-jumping thing :) ). I was impressed; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Wolf Gift (The Wolf Gift Chronicles); Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Rice Page; Review: I am not as intrigued by vampire lore as I am by wolf lore, and I have always enjoyed Anne Rice's books, so I was really looking forward to reading this one. She has put together a great take on the werewolf concept, which could have made for a terrific read. Unfortunately, she appears to have worked with a new editor on this one, and the reader suffers terribly for it. A more experienced editor might have pointed out how much the pacing drags, asked whether she intended her novel to be some sort of PR campaign (by the time you are done, if you are not familiar with the music of Satie, you'll have googled him...), or at the very least, suggested minor changes which would have resulted in fewer factual variances appearing with such jarring frequency (a child kidnapped from a school known for back-to-earth granola-and-tree-hugging philosophy is highlighted by the detail of her 'pink plastic barettes,' a woman who is extensively described as having blonde hair gone white early in life - just as her father's did - is later described as having dark body hair). Perhaps these are too minor for many people to notice, and if so, you may find the ongoing anomalous notes less intrusive. It's a shame, as it could have been an excellent book; it has a terrific tale to tell. I am likely to pick up a sequel if I see one, just to see if it's more tightly produced - but for this one, my best advice is to find the Cliff's Notes.... [Edited 7/29/2012 to eliminate an error that was brought to my attention]; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way; Author: Visit Amazon's Bruce Campbell Page; Review: If you're a fan of Bruce's, you need this book. If you're not - well, you might just need this book anyway. Bruce's earlier bio, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, paints a wonderful picture of a man who, knowing that not every actor can be Clark Gable, embraces B-movie success, turning it from some sort of second-rate status to a mark of pride. And that, in a nutshell, is why we love Bruce. He's not only OK not being Clark Gable, he's having a lot more fun being Bruce Campbell. Make Love is a fantastic opportunity to hang with Bruce - sometimes, with Bruce Campbell the actor, sometimes with Bruce the man, and sometimes with the somewhat-unbalanced little imp that likely causes mental health professionals to reach for medication... If you have a sense of humor, the ability to laugh at yourself (or at least, to laugh at Bruce as he laughs at himself), and any interest at all in the making of movies, Bruce's book will be worth your time and your dime. Bruce is an engaging writer who manages to sound, on paper, the way he seems in his films and TV series. His books read quickly and comfortably, and leave you feeling like the two of you have just finished clearing a six-pack and shooting the cans off the porch rail (even if, like me, you don't drink beer). Yes, I am a fan - and if I wasn't before, I would be after reading this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: I Want It Now!: A Memoir of Life on the Set of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; Author: Julie Dawn Cole; Review: With the grace and style of a true Lady of her era, Julie shares her memories, weaving them into our own memories of our Willy Wonka experiences. She speaks ill of no-one, extensively of everyone, and draws the reader in as though we were sitting together over tea. A truly delightful read, made the more so by refusing to succumb to a trend of dirt-dishing tell-alls. More than anything, it's clear at every step that Julie must have been a terrific young actress, as she and Veruca have little in common.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book I: The Mysterious Howling; Author: Visit Amazon's Maryrose Wood Page; Review: These are well-told tales, and a fun read. However, the books read more like individual parts/sections of one novel. There is no clear resolution at the end of any of them - all of the books are a single tale, not a 'series.' We often pick up the first book in a series just to see if we enjoy the writer - get to the end, and if you're not hooked, don't get more. In this case - that would have felt like reading half a book, and been very disappointing. Plan to read the whole set, or not at all.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clockwork Princess; Author: Visit Amazon's Cassandra Clare Page; Review: I am normally wary of prequels, but here that is a misnomer. this was clearly part of the planned backstory, and was just written/published later. Immortal Instruments fans will need to go back and re-read after this, to find all the cross-references. [Sorry for the vagueness, trying to avoid spoilers] I loved the stories overall, and enjoyed reading almost as much as the original. The insights into Magnus Bane were a delight. That said, there were two glaring annoyances for me in this series. The first was Jem's logic - when the reason for his behaviors were revealed, it made him look like a total idiot. Clearly, he was already surrounded by people who loved him - total failure of logic. Second was the author's fascination with creating love triangles and related "oh no, I musn't" angst, no matter how artificial the mechanism for doing so. It's not outrageous, and maybe I am just too much older than the intended audience to properly appreciate it. :) Still highly recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sex, Marry, Kill - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Todd Travis Page; Review: The author had a terrific concept which could have been turned into a spellbinding book. It is my sincere hope that he will revisit it after taking a year off to attend some writer's workshops. The characters are one-dimensional, stereotyped caricatures with indistinguishable voices and little to distinguish one from another. The plot is rife with inconsistencies (the 'computer-whiz' can monitor and control a random computer at the public library, but can't monitor the internet searches on cell phones he is tracking) , and the author demonstrates unfamiliarity with very basic life concepts (the small-town librarian - a widow, of course - describes her late husbands odd behaviors and explains that she just thought it was 'change of life stuff' - referring to a biological event that applies only to women). ********spoilers********** "Mr. Herman", it is implied, escapes the game by passing it on to the teens - a la "Thinner", handing off one's curse. However, the teens, we are told, are not cursed but possessed. Somehow, a single demon possesses not one, not all - but just two of the five. When the original spell is broken, the demon is forced from Faye - except, of course, no demon was forced from Mr. Herman, and the original spell is not broken, as the book ends with new players (who, btw, do not have to have the curse handed to them, it is offered anonymously) This was a terrific idea which could have been compelling if the author had taken the time to think through what he actually believed was happening, and present consistently. ********end spoilers******* Normally, the nonexistent editing and poor grammar would have made me crazy; however, the writing style and reality + consistency gaps made me assume I was reading a work by a teenaged author; I was stunned to discover, on looking it up, that the author was an adult. There is a great concept here, which would have benefited from the author taking some courses in how to outline a plot, develop characters, and ensure consistency. =; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Silver: The Silver Series Book 1; Author: Cheree Lynn Alsop; Review: As I read this book, I found myself assuming this was a first novel by a teenaged author. The story concept was interesting, and provided a distinctive view on traditional werewolf stories. However, plot points were forced and unbelievable, and characters 'changed direction' for very little reason (a girl essentially forgets all about her boyfriend and falls almost instantly in love with the boy next door; both boys are alpha werewolves; characters whose loyalty/motives are created in strong terms change allegiances on a dime, etc.). Above all, the writing style itself convinced me I was reading a teenager's best effort. Poor grammar and structure (resulting in clumsy and confusing sentences that are sometimes hard to follow), continual misuse of common words, an apparent lack of understanding of how the 'grown-up' world works (for example, the main character's mother is out looking for work and in the same day finds a job, must attend overnight training and then has to work the next day) left me convinced the author had to be a college freshman or younger. As much as I enjoy the story concept, I'll be deleting this from my Amazon collection - to more intrepid readers, I can only recommend that you start with one of this author's later pieces in the hope that she has taken some English classes, hired an editor, and joined a writer's workshop so that she can develop the skills needed to make this terrific story concept into a readable book.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: What She Knew: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Gilly Macmillan Page; Review: The author has a terrific concept - both the events, and the examination of how those events impact. It would have benefited greatly from competent editing. - Characters disappear (Peter, though extensively described early in the book, never appears again, as if he had originally played a part in the story, and the early investment was never reviewed after the character was cut; John is left in a coma in hospital - and then never mentioned again until a brief two sentences in the epilogue indicate that he has apparently awoken.) - The mechanism of the psychiatrist's notebook, which could have been extremely clever, falls flat. The psychiatrist continually adds notes that simply don't ring true for a professional's observations on a patient ("he's got me interested..."), and reveal what is, at best, a pretty questionable therapeutic path. The counselor - supposedly required to deal with the police officer's prior trauma - spends a great deal of time fishing for background details of the investigation, while almost wholly ignoring significant and potentially traumatic items brought into the conversation. A partial, early memory is skimmed over, without the counselor expressing much interest in whether it was "merely" an indicator of abuse, or represents a significant inner conflict about the nature of his father's career, despite the heavy-handed statement the image presents on integrity. - The author repeatedly changes references mid paragraph (for example, the boy's parents hold hands, and the mother-narrator connects that to the first time she held hands with the boy's father, a week after they met. The author then spends a page telling the story of how they met, rather than of that first hand-holding [to be fair: she does get to that eventually too - but the practice of changing referents mid-sentence or -paragraph repeats in other areas). The meandering narrative and poor content editing made what should have been a very satisfying story into an endless slog. I never did connect the title (though I did read somewhere that it has been published under another name) Definitely read it - but try the Cliff's Notes version, or wait until a second edition that has seen a significant editorial review. I'll be deleting this one from my collection here on Amazon.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Lost Boy Lost Girl; Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Straub Page; Review: This book could t decide whether it wax a serial killer story or a supernatural tale. In committing to neither, it didn't manage to do either very well. The serial killer plot is light and unsatisfying. The supernatural tale leaves out too much of its foundational logic, making the "why" entirely too vague. We are offered nothing on which to hook a theory about why *this ghost is different from dozens of other victims, how she would know her relatives, why she would single out one of them for revenge - and then single out the son of that one for "love." We are given no indication of why long dormant entity chooses this moment in time to be active, or why her actions are limited to revenge against one family member and a borderline-incestuous relationship with another. That said, even sloppy, poorly-written Straub is better than much of what one finds in the genre. It is worth a read, but perhaps a trip to the library, rather than the bookstore, for this one; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bottled; Author: Visit Amazon's Carol Riggs Page; Review: BOTTLED is a fantastic concept that suffers somewhat in the execution. Overall, it's a worthwhile read, but be prepared for some inconsistencies and gaps. The core concept is captivating and imaginative: The story is told form the point of view of Adeelah, a young girl transformed into a genie, who lives in servitude while hoping for reunion with her lost love. Adeelah's internal monologue is written in a flowing, archaic cadence that emphasizes her otherness in this modern world. Except when it isn't. Her phrasing and frame of reference jump back and forth and the inconsistent voice, while not excessively distracting, make it difficult to differentiate Adeelah as a character. This is a dual loss, as her lack of self-examination makes it difficult to know her through anything but her variable and unreliable voice. The author gives an amusing presentation of the interactions of two teenage boys and the younger brother of one of the teens. It's clear that she has some real-life experience with that! But in all, there are too many clumsy inconsistencies and convenient plot mechanisms to make this a truly enjoyable read for an adult or a discerning YA reader. [specific examples below the SPOILER line.] It will resonate well with less-particular teens and tweens, who will likely be sufficiently enamored of the story concept and and won't closely examine the narrative quality. I loved the concept so much, I really wanted to be able to recommend this book. I read it once, and don't consider the time "lost" or "wasted," but I certainly won't read it again, and can't in conscience recommend it. I gave it three stars because Amazon doesn't permit me to give half stars, and 2 seemed a little too low a grade. ***SPOILERS*** Adeelah's lack of introspection contributes to incongruities throughout the narrative. For example, as she continually expounds on the wonders of her lost love, her commentary makes it clear to the reader that she is attracted to her new master, blandly-painted generic-good-guy Nathan. This would have worked well if we had seen an arc of discovery or realization. Instead, we move - in the matter of a few paragraphs - from Adeelah's unthinking observations on Nathan (hints of unrecognized attraction) to her matter-of-fact mention, more or less 'in passing', of her growing attraction to him. Presenting it as something already recognized, she just as swiftly dismisses it in favor of her commitment to long-time love Karim. Her thoughts on Karim, too, offer inconsistency and incongruity. Adeelah tells us the narrative of how Karim's father turned her into a genie, and is keeping father and son immortal. She expresses her certainty that Karim is a good man who deplores what his father is doing. And that's pretty much it. For a guy she is in love with, and has been obsessed with for 1,000 years, her musings don't offer much depth, or observations that would allow someone else to assess his character. When she is reunited with him, she is appalled that in 1,000 years of waiting and sometimes searching for her,; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Not Alone; Author: Visit Amazon's Craig A. Falconer Page; Review: With so many good reviews, I was excited to read this book. I didn't make it past the 1% marker. Reading it was like listening to my young nephew tell me about a movie he had watched. "He did this, and then he did this, and then he did this!" The author continually *tells* me about "Dan" (Dan. never "he," always "Dan" by name "Dan did this and then Dan did that...") but never seems to *show anything or allow the reader into the story. "Dan tried to turn his bike away but the man ran straight into the side it, dropping everything in his hands and sending Dan crashing to the ground. The man fell, too, but Dan cushioned his fall. Through the intense pain of an impact that felt like it had scraped off half of the skin on his left side, Dan grabbed the man's legs and tried to push the bike aside with his body." Just couldn't make myself read it. I am wildly confused by the massive number of good reviews this book received (and equally confused to note that, although this book has well over 1,000 reviews, not *one of the authors other titles has even 100. Apparently, people LOVED this book but not enough to read anything else by the same author...?).; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Culture Wars: The Threat to Your Family and Your Freedom; Author: Marie Alena Castle; Review: The author is far too busy venting her hostility to the Catholic church (which she was apparently raised in, as she refers to attending Catholic schools) to spend much time making her actual points, and the reader quickly tires of attempting to dig them out of the mire. A shame, as she seems to have some valid points to make.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Final Girls: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Riley Sager Page; Review: I really wanted to like this book. The premise is so creative and the reviews I read were so positive that, having finished it, I have to wonder whether other reviewers read the same book or if I got some alternate edition. Rather than a long and detailed accounting of everything that bothered me, I have tried to group my concerns into a few related themes. TLDR: The writer doesnt appear to have done the most basic research, characters behave in manners that are utterly out of synch with the situation as described, the writing is so inattentive that it repeatedly contradicts itself, and the use of language is strewn with issues. A terrific story idea, done in by careless writing and ridiculous plotting. The detail (Spoilers Ahead!): 1. At best, thoroughly inadequate research - a character who is depicted as taking a single Xanax each day (but is later described as addicted) takes a triple dose of this valium-like drug then goes meandering about town for several hours, successfully shoplifts items in a high-end department store, then engages in a shouting- and shoving-match with a reporter in the lobby of a newspaper office. (at three times her accustomed dosage, it would be remarkable if she could get herself off the sofa, much less start a fight.) - a police officer gets off shift, then drives several hours to another jurisdiction to sit down and have coffee with a character. (off-duty, in uniform, armed, in another jurisdiction huge liability, as anything he does represents the department most have policies requiring you to have permission to go about in uniform out of jurisdiction.) - a character is described as committing suicide by cutting her wrists. The cuts are described as being remarkably deep, and as being *across* her wrists (perpendicular to her arm). It never occurs to the pathologist or the investigators that cutting that deep would sever the tendon making it impossible for her to then hold a blade in that hand in order to cut the opposite wrist. 2. Character inconsistencies - Jeff says he is suspicious of Sam, but his behavior is downright rude and confrontational, far beyond what the situation warrants until Quinn tells him she received an e-mail from Lisa. Then, suddenly, its all OK. This is even less logical when we find out near the end of the book that, at this point, Jeff had already spoken with Sam by phone prior to her arrival in town. - the main character has a secret drawer that even her boyfriend is not allowed into. When her new friend breaks into it, violating the most private place in her life, the character is only briefly angry, and is immediately mollified by the friends claim that they are alike, so its all OK. This traumatized character forgives a near-stranger for violating the most private safe space in her world, and everything is just fine. - a character with PTSD so bad she cant walk out her front door without one hand in her purse clutching her pepper spray not only; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Monarch Specialties I 3208, Cocktail Table, Chrome Metal, Natural; Brand: Monarch Specialties; Review: I absolutely LOVE this table for my living room! It brightens up the room since I do have a black TV and entertainment center. The X siding matches perfect with my Target end tables. The table arrived earlier than expected. The box that it came in was thin and was wrapped in bubble wrap? One of the X sidings arrived bent and it looks pretty weird. I have read reviews that the seller will replace any damaged pieces. I am not sure how to contact them and to request a new piece. The table took me about 30 minutes to put it together. It was pretty easy and it doesn't have too many different parts to determine what goes where. The dimensions of this table is 44 in width, 22 in length and 16.5 height. I rated this table a 5/5 because it is absolutely beautiful and pictures cannot show the true beauty!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Black & Decker DCM18S Coffeemaker, Black/Stainless Steel; Brand: Black & Decker; Review: Have it with me on the road. Perfect little coffee maker. Just be sure you put the filter basket in with the drain holes lined up or you'll have an overflow.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: OXO Good Grips Easy Clean Compost Bin, White; Brand: OXO; Review: Perfect size for the counter. Also love the way the lid is designed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: WATERMAN Portable Alkaline Water Purifier, 2.5 Cup (0.6 Liters) with Water pH Testing Kit; Brand: New Century Innovations (NCI); Review: I travel for a living and I've been using this for about a month now. SO happy I don't have to keep running to the store to by the alkaline water I love. Water comes in at 9.5ph which I love. So easy to use and pack. I did notice a white film at the bottom of the container during the first week of using, but it went away. I don't have the leakage issues others talked about -- just push down and twist and it's a good seal. Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fazenda Acacia Wood Cake Stand; Brand: Fazenda; Review: Loved this when I received it -- was to be the center piece of my niece's wedding gift. But when I put the gift together, I noticed it had developed a large crack in one piece of the wood (not the seam). I'm returning and will reorder, because it is a beautiful, useful piece. Hope the new one won't crack.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mountain Woods Extra Large (22" X 16") Acacia Wood Luxury Serving Tray w/ Bronzed Handles *NEW & IMPROVED*; Brand: Mountain Woods; Review: Really a beautiful piece. And well designed. The handles give it a nice rustic artistic touch. Gave as a wedding gift (added all kinds of other goodies on it). My niece and her husband loved it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded, 33A1; Brand: Bissell; Review: Just got this yesterday -- ordered because I'm in a less-than-clean Airbnb whose owner promised me a vac, but hasn't come through. Because I'm a full-time traveler, I wasn't very excited of having to carry yet another household item with me. But I have to say, this was a great purchase. I avoided the battery models, because they are bigger, not as powerful and when the battery stops charging you have to throw the whole unit out. This is the smallest I've seen and it really works great. Wouldn't have believed it, but a YouTube video convinced me to give it a try. I travel with my Sheltie, so pet hair is a daily issue. This was definitely worth adding to the packing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zyliss E990001U Travel French Press and Coffee Mug, Single Serve, Grey; Brand: Zyliss; Review: I bought 2 as gifts to use to make Crio Bru cacao brew. Ended up also buying one for myself. Lightweight, easy to pack and use. I broke too many other French Presses, so this was a welcome solution.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Kingwin Aluminum Single Bay Hot Swap Mobile Rack For 3.5” SSD/HDD, Internal SATA Hard Drive Backplane Enclosure; Brand: Kingwin; Review: I purchased 3 of these to house 500gb 7200rpm drives. They work great. One thing to remember when buying is that they include 1 SATA cord and 4 Pin Molex to SATA as well. If you want the activity lights to work then you must use the included 4 pin molex to SATA adapter to power the lights. I won't be swapping out the drives very often, only in a drive failure but they do say there is a 50k insertion rate on them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Antec One Hundred Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Computer Case; Brand: Antec; Review: Great case, Wasn't very big inside but I only needed it temporarily. The case is a little flimsy but only if you need to work on it a lot will you notice. Includes two fans that are 4 pin molex. Not a bad case just not 5 star quality. Spend more if you want a really good case!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: StarTech.com 2.5in IDE Hard Drive to 3.5in Drive Bay Mounting Kit; Brand: StarTech; Review: Not much to say about it, Its a 3.5 inch bracket for a 5.25 inch bay.

Title: PNY DDR3 4GB 1333MHz (PC3-10666) CAS 9 1.5V PC Memory Desktop Module (MD4096SD3-1333); Brand: PNY; Review: I have 16gb of this stuff. It works great. My motherboard can only use 1333MHZ 16gb max ram so I'm fairly limited on speed. I don't want Corsair ram or any other brand so don't comment that I wasted money, I am limited with height because of my current cpu cooler and this ram worked perfect. Run's fairly cool, If anyone's interested on exact temps I could post them for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kingwin Tool-Less 2.5-Inch SATA HDD External Enclosure with USB 3.0 TL-202U3-BK - Black; Brand: Kingwin; Review: I just got it today and I really like it! The housing is plastic and to open it you just squeeze the sides. I like that it has a status light on it and needs no extra power, it's really easy to open and swap drives if need be. I have used a 250gb Seagate and a 500gb Seagate 2.5 drive in this and both were recognized right away! This also works for osx lion (mac) if your interested. I tried it and it worked fine.(However my macbook pro doesn't have a usb 3.0 port) If your looking for something heavy duty maybe this isn't for you, I expect the housing to last for 2-3 years. You get what you pay for.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Left Angle to Straight SATA 2.0 Data Cable with Clip, 12 Inches 12-Pack; Brand: Aleratec; Review: Not much too it, If you need sata cables with right angle connectors these are the ones to buy! Great to keep in my toolbox just in case!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mad Catz M.O.U.S. 9 Wireless Mouse for PC, Mac, and Mobile Devices; Brand: Mad Catz; Review: In typical Mad Catz fashion the drivers for this mouse are incredibly buggy and work only if God loves you. Support is non existence and after once week of no response ended up returning the product. A few days later got a one line response asking what model # I had even though I included it in my question. Stay away from Mad Catz. i will say build quality is nice, hence the 2 stars.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Gigabyte Micro ATX DDR3 LGA 1150 SATA 6Gb/s Motherboard (GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5); Brand: Gigabyte; Review: A great board that's perfect for overclocking, looks great and has incredible features for the price point but unfortunately has buggy drivers and weird bios issues. If you plan on installing Windows 8 or 8.1 and plan to use the ethernet port you might want to reconsider. The Killer networking app attempts to control the internet to give certain programs priority. Which is fine if you wish to install a game and walk away but not fine if you wish to use internet in any other program. The program will literally dedicate internet to a specific program and give it 100% priority making other programs disconnect because of it. Reminds me of problems I have with AOL back in dial up times. Not to mention the program itself is incredibly buggy and causes other programs to crash because of it. Look up the problem online about the Killer line of products, There are complaints everywhere. I will say the connection speed does seem faster and doesn't seem to disconnect in multiplayer games as often as other hardware I've had. The other problem I had was the bios. The mouse will jump around the screen randomly every other boot to bios and overall the bios just feels buggy. A small complaint but an issue none the less. I ended up installing a PCI E 1x Intel ethernet card I had laying around and with it have had zero problems. I plan to keep the board in hopes the drivers improve. There are other features that out weigh the negatives. Will I recommend this product? As of now, No. There are other boards out there with similar features at this price point that have none of these problems. Overall I was disappointed. EDIT Found a way to use the internet ethernet port but "kill" the killer driver. I followed this guide: techpowerup(dot)com/forums/threads/guide-turn-your-killer-e2200-nic-into-qualcomm-athero-ar8161.198899/ It totally fixed my problem! The review however will remain at 2 stars.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Darling's Diner; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: A waste of taste buds. I'm sober with no hangover looking for a place to get good brunch. Next time I want salmon from a can, a 1/2 cup cream cheese on a not toasted bagel, I'll go to Darling's. Black listed!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Almanac Market; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: One would frequent the Almanac Market on snowy days for a hot cup of savory soup or a summer night on the way the Liberty Lands park for artisanal cheeses and a loaf of bread. The staff is friendly and most often you will start friendships with those who frequent the store. It's what gives living in Northern Liberties a community feel. Local. Organic. Free Range. Delicious. One of a kind!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Honey's Sit-N-Eat; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Best breakfast in the city! My first visit was in the winter. Space is limited to wait around, and I was blown away when they told me I could go to the Random Tea Room to warm up and they'd buzz me when our table was ready! It was two great experiences in one. Recently I had their fresh squeezes grapefruit juice and eggs cooked with smoked lox- simply amazing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Metropolitan Bakery; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I don't know where else I could go on the city to find Darjeerling Tea & Ginger Cured smoken Salmon, a delectable chocolate and bing cherry cookie among a variety of artesian breads that will complement any picnic in the park. Go early in the morning for a chance to try their croissants and purchase fresh farm eggs- hurry they both go quick!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Johnny Brenda's; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Johnny Brenda's puts the fish in Fishtown. On a cool summer night, we celebrated the coming of fall by starting with an autumn beer. After reading the shared outdoor menu, I went with the Fishtown Stew. With a higher than average price tag for this local hangout, my expectations were high. Worth every dollar-Steamed clams, mussels, scallops and shrimp over a bed of linguini topped with a fresh tomato sauce. We nearly licked the plate. When out to you next visit, go for the gusto and order an exceptional beer and a unique item on the menu- you won't regret it and lifes too short to not enjoy it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bakers on Broad; City: Souderton, PA; Review: "La meilleure petite boulangerie dans la ville!" The best little bakery in town! Their variety of pasties, bread and seasonal items are all sweet and savory. By far the best almond croissants, rosemary focaccia and olive bread! They also carry a gluten free par-baked pizza crust frozen, which makes it great for those nights you're in a rush. But call a day in advance so they can prep it for you. Each pizza serves two. This place is cash or checks only.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Main St. Java; City: Souderton, PA; Review: A diamond in the rough. If you passing through in the morning and need a cup of amazing coffee, don't go out of your way to DD or *bucks, but stop at Main Street Java. Freshly brewed One Village Coffee will be worth it! If their out kindly ask if they're brewing another pot and if you can wait, they will fill your cup from the dispenser! I guarantee the coffee is so good that you will be sad when you drink the last drop! This is the ONLY local organic lunch spot in Souderton. Their menu caters to carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike. When they're super busy, the light staff works hard to deliver orders quickly, so you may need to be patient. Owners wife bakes homemade fruit bars and cookies, and they are yummy!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Abbaye; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Vegetarian? This American/Belgium restaurant offers vegetarians amazing dishes. The cooks meld spices, beans and veggies to make a flavorful Veggie Burger! This past fall I savored every bite of the stuffed sweet pumpkin with rice, cranberries, herbs and more. Out of this world!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Melting Pot; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The Melting Pot was cool when I was in high school, but now that I understand more about food and what I put into my body I question their ingredients. I've heard - not fact - but they use low quality cheeses and have you read the ingredients to the Fondue Bars? I received one and it was a paragraph of additives and fake preservatives. This place is over rated and too expensive for the quality you get. You are paying more for the experience if you don't have a fondue pot, which in that case go to Marshalls and purchase one.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Taco Riendo; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: When I am craving authentic Mexican on a shoestring budget this place rocks my face off! This family owned restaurant offers fresh ingredience, sizable portions and service with a smile. I am looking forward to the spring when I can enjoy my plate of goodness under the stars on thei new back patio!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cosi; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Cosi has gone down hill in the city. This little joint can be enjoyed in the suburbs, but all the city locations are dirty and unappealing. I'd rather go to a trusted local spot before here. If you're looking for smores, i suggest a gram cracker, marshmallow, chocolate and a microwave. It's so much more fun seeing the marshmallow blow up in 10 seconds!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Di Bruno Bros.; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I frequent DiBruno Bros when I'm in need of a quick gourmet lunch, samples of their artesian cheese, an ingredient I can't find at the local market or a need for a new pantry item. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! Now carring local coffee co. One Village Coffee, this little spot has become a favorite destination for my family!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Colombe; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This cash only coffee bar may seem a little pretencious, but being located near Rittenhouse Square, this established cafe offers freshly brewed coffee and artistic frothy drinks. If your looking for a relaxing mid-morning break, grab a cup of coffee accompanied with a freshly baked pastery delivered fresh from Metropolitan Bakery. Unlike other local cafes La Colombe doesn't offer free wi-fi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille; City: Southampton, PA; Review: HOLY CANOLI this restaurant is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Suggestion 1: Make a reservation with four people. Suggestion 2: Take two bottles of wine to accompany your dinner (FREE corkage) Suggestion 3: If your three other friends are close, choose one soup, 1-2 appetizers, 1 salad, and 3 entrees. With this combination everyone can try the amazing flavors of this vegetarian restaurant. Oh and suggestion #4: go hungry! I haven't been to a vegetarian restaurant as good as this place. GOOD NEWS Philadelphians, they are opening a restaurant in Philadelphia: [url]; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Parc; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The fun french music greeting you on their webpage is the first giveaway that this place is legit. When I first stepped into the restaurant, I felt as though I walked back in time. Where was my long stemmed cigarette and my beau sitting at the bar with the glass of champagne already waiting for me. When I come back down from dreaming, the taste of the freshly made pastry basket satisfied my sweet cravings. The Eggs Benedict is delightful. The Pain Perdu is absolutely magnifique!! And I've thoroughly enjoyed the Smoked Salmon plate. It's a wonderful place to enjoy with friends or lover. I think Julia Child would have frequented if she lived nearby.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Random Tea Room & Curiosity Shop; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: My first visit was to get out of the cold while waiting for my reservation at Honey's. Now a local, I frequent my neighborhood tea shoppe for their freshly made chai, where they hand grind spices to make a beautiful blend of tea. When I need to work, but need some tea to empower me, I go for their yerba mate. Russian tea cakes = amazing. Love. Love. Love.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: North Third; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This is my local hot spot! The staff is awesome and I am a frequent patron, especially in the summer when I can get a cold beer and bowl of water for my dog. This is where gastropub meets gourmet. One of my favorites is the fresh summer made gazpacho with a spoonful of guacamole! On a typical night my favorites (not all at once!) include the hummus plate, pierogies or if I am really hungry, I LOVE the tuna steak sandwich special. If you eat meat, get the burger medium-rare with boursin cheese and sauteed mushrooms; you won't regret it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Thoreau Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This American vegetarian restaurant is a jem on Spring Garden. Chef Mike brings simple dishes with mysterious flavors. The atmosphere is cozy, portions are large, so get comfortable with your guests and share a few plates. I suggest take a few bottles of wine (while still BYO) and start with Green Curry Mango Summer Rolls & Sliders (Ratatouille in basil pumpkin seed pesto, creamy Spanish manchego cheese, red pepper aioli, Belgian frites); continue to tantalize your palette with the Wild Mushroom Risotto and end with homemade ice cream. It's not vegetarian food, it's food done right.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Full Plate; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I am all about BRUNCH and these ladies know how to make a mean breakfast! I love the mishmash chairs, outdoor seating, friendly wait staff and drinking my ice tea or water out of an old mason jar. A Full Pate is a special spot to eat for those who are vegan or vegetarian. Some of my favorites are: Cinnamon Bobka French Toast, Vegan French Toast or the Toads in a Hole. I also love that they give the option of veg. or vegan sausage! Oh and how could I forget - BYO! Mimosas anyone?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Memphis Taproom; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Started off my New Years Celebrations here with great food, friends, and beer! When the kitchen can accommodate to gluten-free, vegetarians and vegans I appreciate the love that goes into the food. Classic but favorite appetizer: Hefeweizen Hummus. Two must try entrees: Melted Leek Mac & Cheese and Pumpkin n' Chickpea Tagine. Beer lovers-there's always an amazing selection. Bon Appetit; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royal Tavern; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Need to go out celebrate a new job, new fixed gear bike or intellectual phenomenon? Well when I had a reason to go out and celebrate I visited the Royal Tavern with close friends and since then I've been back many times. Where to sit? The bar. What to eat? Anything on their specials board - but the Fresh Popped Popcorn with pecorino and truffle butter is amazing AND only $3! What to drink? Any of their local, seasonal and classic beer selections. While service is a little slow, the adult beverages help pass the time!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zahav; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Being the "hot" restaurant everyone is raving about, we made 5:30 pm reservations on a snowy Thursday. After our arrival, sitting down and just placing my drink order, I read on my iphone YELP app that there was a Happy Hour special. After asking the waiter about it, he "regretfully" said, "No, only at the bar." I looked around and thought, wow being one of only TWO couples in the restaurant you couldn't give the "Happy Hour Special." I just felt a little gypped. What to order? When I see a "Tasting Menu" for only $36 I thought AMAZING deal! And it was amazing and a LOT of food! The short of it: Salamtim & Hummus (pick the butter and grilled garlic!). Halavi: Crispy Haloumi (rock ur cheese world!) & Fried Cauliflower. Basari: Chicken Freekah (vegetarian? you're allowed to pick two Halavi's!!) Al Ha'esh: The Jaffa with fennel and olives - simply amazing. Dessert - well don't get the warm chocolate cake - not out of this world. If going as a couple, suggestion: one purchase the tasting menu and order two additional items off the menu to make a meal - there is a LOT of food!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Golosa; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I bought a Groupon for this local chocolate bar, but when I went to redeem it we received some awkward service. The server was not engaging and seemed like she needed some espresso to pep up. While the chocolate is good, I didn't want to hang out at the shop. So I asked to get my drinking chocolate to go. That was a definite NO, but I could take a cold drinking chocolate to go... Chocolate good. Service bad. I won't go out of my way for this chocolatier.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Talula's Garden; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Aimee Olexy and Stephen Starr are a good pairing like that of their cheese plates and wine selection. If you are looking fava beans, ramps, scapes or the latest NY Times must have ingredient, most likely, it will be in one of Chef Michael Santoro specials or monthly menu items. When at the bar, try one of their signature cocktails. My special request recommendation would be the Prosecco wine with one of their cocktail cherry's. Sadly I forget the name of that special gem of a cherry, but they are amazing! So if you happen to stop in the garden this month, enjoy the unique flavors of the ramp butter on brioche buns, pea shoot soup with crème fraiche, side of beets and save room for the rhubarb dessert!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Refinery; City: Tampa, FL; Review: Tampa may not be the food capital of the world, but when it comes to food owners Greg and Michelle Baker know how to bring seasonal to their amazing weekly menu! Upon visiting on a Wednesday night, we learned their menu changes every Thursday to cater to the new flavors of the season. My first meal there was a classic risotto with a poached egg - simple, classic with a twist. My taste buds were pleased! We were so impressed with the friendly staff and amazing meal that we came back the following night to try their new menu. Kicking it off I enjoyed a chilled beet soup and for my main, pasta with fresh morels! Now a month later, I checked out their menu to only drool over my keyboards as I read "Chocolate Cupcake with bacon-cream cheese icing" When is the next plane leaving Phily?! Worth the drive. Worth the wait. Worth the reservation!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Farmicia; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: A great bakery dips it's bread with local farm like flavors. This is a brunch spot to take out-of-towners because the food is fresh and the baked goods are made from it's sister Metropolitan Bakery. If anything, stop in for some coffee and a pastry on your stroll through Old City. The flavors aren't out of this world crazy, but it's a safe place where you know you're going to get good nom. I'd like to give between 3 and 4 stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Arnold's Way; City: Lansdale, PA; Review: If you want to support local, this is the raw diets heaven. Banana whips are the vegans ice cream. However, it's not a run in and run out to catch the train kind-of place - give yourself some time before hightailing it to the RR.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Day By Day; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: When you live in a city where hot brunch spots are as bountiful as cars on the express way, your ratings become that much harder to distinguish what's good and what's great. This family owned restaurant provides simple decor, outside seating and classic savory and sweet dishes. When you scratch you head on where to go because you felt like you'v been everywhere, remember Day By Day. You will walk away happy and full.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: One Shot Coffee; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The Three Star Review: Why doesn't this local coffee shop purchase beans from local roasters? I love One Shot Coffee, but a few things bother me: non-local beans and over priced coffee and food. The Four Star Review: One Shot was located in Liberties Walk in Northern Liberties. The vibe these gals were going for was something local that all the hipsters flocked to. Realizing Liberties Walk wasn't that, they moved into this awesome building two blocks away that speaks what their true style is. The new building is the perfect spot and has an amazing egg sandwich, scones and delicious coffee.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Morimoto; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The Iron Chef happened to be in the restaurant upon my visit. Sadly he wasn't preparing my food, but his chefs represent him well! We participated in the chef's tasting and it was superb! My favorite takeaway was the scallop ceviche. Check out my photo's to "read" my review. Everything was amazing. I would go back, but not to pay for the chef's tasting again. I'd go for the special of the night or the chefs recommendation on the menu.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fork; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: When there is an opportunity to sit at the bar to get to know the staff, we take advantage! We enjoyed our conversation with the bar tender, who made an AMAZING bloody mary mix! Five stars to the brunch drinks! Do you like huevos racheros? Try them - they are delicious! If you enjoy something sweet in the morning, you can't go wrong with their house made brioche french toast or house made pastries. Are you on the fly? Stop by Fork Etc. to grab a coffee to go (La Colombe), pastry and sit at their family style table or take time out of your day to people watch at their window front bar.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Golosa; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I had a bad experience at Golosa and expressed that in my last review, but since then, the owner reached out to me and expressed his concern and change. It seems like the service picked back up and it would be a place I'd frequent again if in South Philly. I do love chocolate....; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Spruce Street Espresso; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: One word: Babyccino! Inspired from a local boy who wanted to be like his parents and drink an "espresso" the shop created this drink, which includes steamed milk in an espresso cup for only $1. The look on your kids face when they get a "grown up" drink - priceless. Otherwise, if you have a doctors apt downtown or a waiting room of family waiting for that baby to be delivered at Penn, the Spruce Street Espresso is a sweet spot in walking distance to the hospitals or downtown shops.

Title: Famous 4th Street Delicatessen; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Save room for the Famous Cookies! if you haven't seen their sandwiches, put away the magnifying glasses because they are magnificent! A table of two and maybe even four could split one of the Famous Sandwiches if you want to save room for their other delicatessens! While I wouldn't frequent here because their portions are too big for me, it's a great place to take anyone who wants an old fashion experience! As far as what sandwich we tried, it was the smoked turkey that was piled high with tender/juicy turkey!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Café L'Aube; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: If you are looking for the Philly creperie scene, it's pretty limited, but Cafe L'Aube brings the city of brotherly love a good balance of sweet and savory. It's a great spot for a lunch date, but they do close early on weekdays, so don't head over mid-day to grab a cup of coffee, set up your laptop and eat a sweet cinnamon and butter crepe. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend it to a close friend if they were looking for something new to experience on South Street.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Franklin Fountain; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Who doesn't love the Fountain and their cute staff dressed all vintage, scooping out ice cream that taste oh so wonderful? It's a classic joint decorated as a vintage parlor where you can still find teaberry ice cream and necco wafers. Your $10 Sunday isn't meant to be taken to-go, but enjoyed in heavy glass sundae cups, in the parlor or outside at one of the ice cream parlor patio sets. So whether you're craving an old fashion sundae, milk shake or just a scoop of ice cream, cool off this summer and treat yourself to a unique experience at the Fountain. PS-you can purchase their hot fudge, which would make for an amazing present to a friend not from the area!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Mother Night; Author: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: The cover claims, "A shaking up in the kaleidoscope of laughter... Reading Vonnegut is addictive!" This was a lie, I didn't laugh once. The only reason I finished this book so quickly was because I was traveling without access to a computer or wifi. I will still give SH5 and CC a chance, and the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars (and not one) is because the author is a "brand name" (Which also isn't an entirely good reason, I know).; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Fire Shut Up in My Bones; Author: Charles M. Blow; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I respect Blow's upbringing and his openness to telling his story, but his narrative often took on a "pity-party" feel, which was annoying. Some of his perspectives on sexuality and masculinity made me reconsider some of my own beliefs -- if even for a second -- so I give it 3 stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Danish Girl; Author: David Ebershoff; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: A refreshing perspective on trans and queer lives, beautifully written.

Title: On the Down Low: A Journey into the Lives of 'Straight' Black Men Who Sleep with Men; Author: J.L. King; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Such poor inconsistencies in rationale and logic. Contributes some perspective into general ideologies of homosexuality and alternative masculinities for the time, but the structure is sloppy and the research methods employed are questionable.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: The Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics Sweet Treats; Brand: The Orb Factory; Review: We have loved all the Sticky Mosaics but the reason this is the "best one yet"....my 4 1/2 year old daughter actually uses the pieces in her play kitchen to play Sweet Shop. I thought the smaller pieces might not be very interesting to her, but I was wrong. There are tons of projects in this set. Some are very small, lollipops, strawberry, cherries. But these small pieces were quick to finish and fun to play pretend restaurant. Younger kids might need help, depends on the child. Great to teach how to follow directions. It's also great for strengthening little fingers to get ready for writing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Learning Resources Super Sorting Pie, 68 Pieces; Brand: Learning Resources; Review: Apart from being super cute, the pieces are well made, have a nice feel to them, heavy. My 4 1/2 year old uses them to feed to her animals. The sorting cards are educational for younger kids too but be sure not to let anyone who puts toys in their mouth use it due to possible choking hazard, like any toy with small pieces.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Iwako Japanese Erasers / Zoo Animals , Cute Animals, Safari Animals / Total 18 animals; Brand: Iwako; Review: I love these little guys and so does my 5 year old. One note, they aren't really meant to be used as erasers, or maybe they are, but they're so cute, I wouldn't want to. They come apart into rather interesting and sometimes challenging puzzle pieces, especially if you take them all apart at one time and mix up the pieces.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: step2 Playhouse Neat & Tidy Cottage; Brand: Step2; Review: Great for 15mo-4-5 years. My 2 y.o. son fits perfectly. Loves it a lot. Always plays in it. I's faded some, but we've had it for a year. Door bell still works. I'm happy he still loves it. I think it's a good choice for a play house. It's a lot cheaper than other ones, but seems to be just as good!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Daytripper; Author: Gabriel Ba; Review: This graphic novel is one that you will return to again and again. After my first read, I had so much to think about that I needed time just to process everything. This is a novel that is rich and complex, and if you put in the time to think through all of the nuances and twists, it is incredibly rewarding. The art is beautiful and fitting, and the pace is so fast that I finished it in one sitting--it's a real page-turner! This novel is loaded with every emotion you can think of, and I would highly recommend it for both those new to graphic novels, and those who have loved them for a long time. I could easily see this work being discussed in college classrooms...it has that much depth and lends itself well to discussion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deep Dark Fears; Author: Visit Amazon's Fran Krause Page; Review: For anyone who is a fan of the online series, this book is a must-buy. Your favorites will be there in beautiful, full-page color, and there are some that you haven't seen yet. Everything about this book is wonderful, and there is a fear for everyone inside.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lumberjanes Vol. 1: Beware The Kitten Holy; Author: Visit Amazon's Noelle Stevenson Page; Review: I loved this! I want everyone I know to read this, and I could easily see young girls and young boys both enjoying it, since there's enough adventure, fighting, and friendship to keep young readers engaged. With that said, I'm 22 and I would highly recommend it to adults as well! One of the greatest things about Lumberjanes is that it's focused on a group of girls, and also that they each defy our expectations. Mal, the girl who looks like a punk, is actually the girl who expresses fear the most. It's these twists that make it such a worthwhile read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria for the End Times; Author: Andrew MacLean; Review: The art in this graphic novel is why you should buy it. The story, as other reviewers have noted, isn't anything groundbreaking or unpredictable, but it is engaging enough to be a fun, quick read. This would be great for someone just jumping in to this genre, since it's relatively short, easy to follow, and is self-contained (meaning there is no complex backstory or knowledge you should have prior to reading). The art is absolutely beautiful. Every page is full color, and this is where MacLean shines. His style is very unique, and I found myself flipping back to revisit my favorite panels. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this for those who aren't looking for their minds to be blown by an amazing story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: How To Be Happy; Author: Visit Amazon's Eleanor Davis Page; Review: This is a book that will make you think. I've only completed my first read-through, and I know when I return to the text I'll find new meanings and bits that I didn't understand the first time. The artwork is truly impressive--the styles for each section vary slightly but are all still unified. This graphic novel is an amalgam of stories, and the variety is what I liked most about it. There is bound to be at least one story that will appeal to someone, and others that are incredibly thought-provoking, which I think would make this a good gift for someone interested in this genre (or someone new to the genre). Some of the stories were head-scratchers, some were poignant, some made me smile, some made me sad. I am excited to read through it again (and again) to more fully understand the stories, and to be able to look at the artwork again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection; Author: Visit Amazon's Kate Beaton Page; Review: I'd highly recommend checking out the Hark! A Vagrant site before purchasing so you can get a sense of Beaton's humor and style. If you like what you see there, you'll obviously love Step Aside, Pops and have some of your favorites reappear in beautifully printed form. Beaton's comics are intellectual and witty, and perfect for people who like literature or history (though it's still funny if you don't get the references, in most cases). Her work re-imagining book covers and old postcards are some of my favorites, and make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I've read them. Though I'd seen many of these comics on Beaton's site, I am glad I purchased the book so I can flip through and support an amazing thinker and artist!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Art of My Neighbor Totoro: A Film by Hayao Miyazaki; Author: Visit Amazon's Hayao Miyazaki Page; Review: I read all the great reviews for this book, and it certainly did not disappoint. This is definitely for people who have long-loved this film, so I'm not sure casual viewers would have the same reaction. I was fascinated by the concept art and the blurbs from Miyazaki. There was also a lot of great stuff from Oga, who did many of the backgrounds. I appreciate the film on another level after reading this book, and I love flipping through it. I fully intend to buy the other books in this series after reading this one. This is perfect for any Totoro or animation lover.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Vol. 8 (Avatar (Graphic Novels)); Author: Bryan Konietzko; Review: After re-watching Avatar again, I was left wanting more. This book was the perfect answer. I loved seeing how much thought went into the series, and the comments by the creators and artists was really interesting. I intend to purchase the ones made for Korra as well, because this one was so great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Search; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Dante DiMartino Page; Review: Well, it does indeed answer the question you've been waiting for! I thought this was very true to the series and the artwork was stunning. The pace was good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It made me miss the series so much, but that's a good thing! I was glad this existed so I could keep up with what these characters were doing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beautiful Darkness; Author: Visit Amazon's Fabien Vehlmann Page; Review: There could not be a more apt title for this graphic novel than "Beautiful Darkness," which perfectly encapsulates the main themes of the story. As others have noted, the artwork is beautiful and child-like, which makes it even more disturbing when paired with the story and often gruesome images. I would highly recommend keeping this out of the reach of children because it's quite frightening at times and I am fairly certain I will have nightmares in the future. Perhaps most disturbing of all is how this work functions on a meta-level, where the story is grotesque and even sickening, but you want to keep reading--it truly is a work of beautiful darkness.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Yamaha NS-SP1800BL 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System; Brand: Yamaha Audio; Review: I defy anyone to find any defect with these speakers and their sound. You gotta remember what they are meant to be used for.....WATCHING TV! Whether you watch The View or The O'reilly Factor, The Sound of Music or Event Horizon (Out of Africa's music is great) you will love the sound. The shipping boxes are excellent, the speakers look very expensive and the price cannot be beat. What else could you ask for? In case you didn't know, distance matters for the proper wire size to match impedance when connecting your speakers for the best sound. So, consult the web for the proper wire size vs length, it will make more of a difference than dollars spend on more expensive speakers. And speaking of expense, don't waste your money on a so called high-end system. You won't be able to tell the difference and you will have spent next month's food bill for nothing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fintie Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Case; Brand: Fintie; Review: Just a perfect fit and looks nice, certainly looks more expensive than it is. Very well made. Arrived in a box rather than an envelope so it was well protected in shipment. The brown looks exactly as the picture, classy. No defects or other problems. I highly recommend this for you Galaxy tab pro 8.4.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NETGEAR WiFi USB 2.0 Adapter - AC Dual Band (A6200); Brand: NETGEAR; Review: I'm using this with Netgear's AC1200 router and they work perfectly together. I use to get allot of disconnects watching TV on my tablet through DishTV's Anywhere app but with this combo I have great reception and no more disconnects. Much stronger signal with no problems at all. Also, when the Windows 7 PC wakes up from sleep mode, the wifi is ready to go. No disconnecting and reconnecting the adapter to get a connection or anything. It works right away. Couldn't be happier with the router or adapter.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA1150 DDR3 M.2 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Intel Z97 ATX Motherboard; Brand: Asus; Review: I got mine Feb 10 and had it running the same day with an i7-4790K, GTX-970 SSC and 2x8gb G.skill Trident-X DDR3-19200. Everything worked great until it locked up this morning with a loud screeching sound. Turned it off and tried to reboot but got Q-code 78 with the vga fail LED on. It will not boot up and there is no video so I can't even get into the bios to make any changes or try and update the bios, I have no idea why except the board just failed. Nothing was overheating or particularly over stressed. It had nice cooling air and a Corsair H80i cooler on the CPU. It was running perfectly in XMP mode and just suddenly froze. Amazon is just great with returns and refunds so I'm getting a new board in a couple days before I even ship this one back! Hopefully this failure is an isolated case as it seems to be. Asus builds good quality parts, I've used their stuff for years now and this is the only failure I've experienced. It's an excellent board regardless of this fail. The bios is the best, very easy to understand and use. The layout of components is great, leaves plenty of room. There are more than enough fan headers and SATA headers to use. I cannot think of a single bad point.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Extension Cable - A-Male to A-Female - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters); Brand: AmazonBasics; Review: I got this to extend my Netgear wifi adapter but on my system it didn't work. I don't know why but the adapter just would not work plugged into this cable. It's a Windows 7 64 system and it would not recognize the adapter reliably, kept dropping it. Otherwise it's a quality product and would probably work fine for charging stuff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Upgrade Ear pad earpad replacement for Sony MDR-NC6 MDR NC6 headset Headpone; Brand: VERY100; Review: Very nice earphone pads. Although I hated buying from overseas, I couldn't find them anywhere else. Alittle tricky to put on but they fit fine on my Sony noise canceling phones. A trick to putting them on; turn the edge inside out, put the on the ear piece and turn them right side out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Acer Aspire 17 Inch Laptop (2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 2020M Processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, Windows 7 Home; Brand: Acer; Review: This is second one I've bought as a gift. Both work just fine. I wanted a Windows 7 machine for basic work. This is perfect. Solidly built and attractive. Keyboard has large keys with a firm click which gives good feedback. The scroll pad has a textured surface unlike allot of laptops. This provides a nice tactile feel when moving your finger around and gives better control I think. I don't see any shortcomings from what I expected or wanted. Not for gaming but most laptops aren't designed as such. Very good for general Internet work, email and the like. Good value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Chair Cube - Blue; Brand: Children's Factory; Review: After having worked in elementary schools and visited my daughter's school for special needs, I saw how effective these are in multiple child situations. I decided to get this chair when my grandson was 9 months old and sitting well. It's the best possible chair for a little one. The chair can be flipped over to accommodate a growing child with two position for seating. We often pull up a second chair to use as a table so my grandson can have a snack while watching a video as well. I also use them at church in my 3-5 year old classroom. Put in a semi-circle for story time, the children sit well and keep their hands to themselves. Since their feet are flat on the floor (with much less squirming involved) they promote better learning. I also arrange them for games such as relay races and use them for color choices. I highly recommend these for your home or classroom!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: EZ-DUZ-IT Deluxe Can Opener with Black Grips; Brand: EZ-DUZ-IT; Review: I had to replace the can opener that was a wedding gift from almost 40 years ago. This had great reviews, and I know why. It works without much effort, and easily opens cans. I'll probably never have to buy another.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: InterDesign York - Over-The-Shower-Door 3-Bar Towel Rack - Matte Black - 4.75 x 17.75 x 22.5 inches; Brand: InterDesign; Review: This is solidly built and very pretty. I've tried others that you had to assemble, and after a while they became rickety and lost screws. This adds beauty and functionality to your bathroom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: IMAGE 12x LED Submersible Flameless Tealight Battery-Operated Candles Lights for Wedding Party Home Decor Floral Cool White; Brand: IMAGE; Review: They were perfect for what I needed--I had translucent vases that I wanted lit from inside. These sink, so I put three in each vase, with floating candles on the top. The effect was beautiful! I'm not giving them 5 stars, because after a few hours in the water, water leaked inside each candle. I had to dry them carefully, and they still rusted. I think that I'll be able to use them again, but if you want something for only one use, these will work well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beautyrest Latex Foam Pillow, Queen; Brand: Beautyrest; Review: What do you do when you've lost your favorite pillows on a camping trip? Immediately check Amazon for more! I was thrilled to find these here. I had owned and loved my last Beautyrest foam pillows for 20 years, and they never lost their shape or looked old. Thank goodness, now I can sleep well once again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Four Seasons Essentials Twin Size Mattress Protector Bedbug Waterproof Zippered Encasement Hypoallergenic Premium Quality Cover Protects Against Dust Mites Allergens; Brand: Four Seasons Essentials; Review: We bought this twin size for our daughter who suffers from allergies. She would wake every morning with goopy eyes. We were hoping that this would help, and also bought pillow protectors. This mattress protector is great! Nothing gets through. There is a tab over the zipper to ensure air-tightness, and you can even see the air pillowing up under the sheet. Now our daughter wakes with clear eyes. This gets my highest rating!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Royal Mirage Deluxe Marrakech; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: When we arrived in the morning our room was ready, even though it says check in is at 3 pm, so that was definitely a plus after a long journey. The room, though, was not as good as expected. The toilet couldn't flush properly, the handbrake to the toilet didn't work and the door to the balcony couldn't be locked, which made us feel a little insecure. We reported this to the reception but nothing was fixed. For some weird reason we couldn't get the orange pool towels that everyone else had, and there were many times where there was no staff in the pool bar. When they were there, it could take a really long time before you got the check or whatever you asked for. The cleaning staff was very friendly and the room service was great, but overall we felt that we didn't get the same service as French speaking people did. We found out that this is very common in Morocco!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: St Giles London; City: London England; Review: The location of this hotel is really good - it's a two mintue walk from Oxford Street. The room was a bit small but clean, and check in/out went fast. This hotel is an evident choice for a shopping trip to London. It's also in walking distance from British Museum, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben & Westminster.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Economy Hotel; City: Athens Attica; Review: The hotel is located in the centre of Athens between the two squares, Omonoia and Monastiraki. The staff was very friendly and always wanted to help us with information about places to visit. The breakfast was quite boring. The same food everyday and only very small amounts of fruit.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Europa City Hotel; City: Vilnius Vilnius County; Review: Here you really get something for your money. It's cheap to stay there and the rooms are nice and clean. The staff is friendly, the internet works perfectly and the location of the hotel is good as well. The breakfast was okay, but not the best. Even the the hotel is just next to the high way, you can't hear a thing in your room. The weather was extremely good, so it was nice, that the rooms also had aircondition.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sea Apartments Tel Aviv; City: Tel Aviv Tel Aviv District; Review: We payed for room with two balconies, but we only got one. We also ended up paying more, than what it said on booking.com. Our apartment really needed to be renovated. While we were there, we made them fix the lights, tv, sink and hot water. The place wasn't really clean, and the "cleaners" were just hanging around. It was like, they didn't know, what they were doing. To enter the building you need to use a password... But a door to an open garage was always open, so it didn't make much sense. Anyway, the location is fantastic, and the internet worked properly.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: McLays Guest House; City: Glasgow Scotland; Review: The location of this hotel is good, and the prices are affordable. I payed for a room with a shared bathroom, but I got my own bathroom, så that was a plus. But the rooms aren't soundproof at all. I could hear music from the street, people talking loudly in the hallway and my neighbour. I woke up at 4.30 am because of my neighbours alarm!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Apartmani Croma; City: Ulcinj Ulcinj Municipality; Review: The location is good with a nice view over all of Ulcinj. The host is extremely friendly and helpful. He served us breakfast in the room every morning, and askes us which food we prefered. He helped us with information about the area and even drove us to the bus station for free. That's good service! You really get a lot for your money here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aragosta Hotel Restaurant; City: Durres Durres County; Review: The hotel has a perfect location with a private beach and about 10 min walk from the centre of Durrës. The staff is very nice and always ready to help you with whatever you need. The rooms were very clean. Nothing to complain about.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vandrehuset Hostel; City: Nuuk Sermersooq Municipality; Review: The rooms are cosy and clean, the wifi works perfectly and there are a lot of tv channels. There's everything you need of kitchen utilities. The location is great - it's close to Nuuk Center and you can basically walk to everything in Nuuk in a few minutes. I stayed for a week, and it would be nice if the apartment had been cleaned sometime during that week.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Women's Elastic Drawstring French Terry Casual Lounging Joggers with Pockets; Brand: ; Review: I ordered the light gray pair and I must say they are made of very thin material. Not sure if it's because they're a light color or the material but they are see through. I ordered the size small which fit as expected since I usually wear a small. The waist has a drawstring so it can be adjusted as needed and the material has a slight stretch to fit your body snugly which I really like. Overall I'm happy with this purchase but because they're see through they're limited to lounge pants to wear only around the house. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review and I'm giving my opinion on this product.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Women's V Neck Sleeveless Bohemian Print Casual Knit Pant Jumpsuit with Pockets; Brand: ; Review: I ordered the black and white romper I'm a size small and it fit extremely well. I'm 5' and 130# but curvy so this just hugged me curves very well! It's very form flattering and the v-neck gives way to a plunging cleavage look. Definitely reveals a lot of cleavage and the metal under the material keeps the fabric in place so that it can be worn without a bra. The pockets are an added bonus that gives the jumpsuit a more casual look. The jumpsuit has no zippers or buttons so you have to pull it up over the curves.

Title: Starlite-Mens Funny T Shirts-I am Danger-Breaking Bad Style-Funny Tshirts-Funny Gifts; Brand: StarliteFunnyShirts; Review: I ordered this shirt in a size small in men's for my 15 year old son who is 5'6" and 150 ponds approximately but there was no way the shirt would fit comfortably. He's not thin and likes wearing his shirts loosely but not big. This short ended up fitting my 13 year old son instead who is a smaller frame and 5'3" but about 20 pounds lighter than his older brother. Either way it worked out for me but I'm not crazy about my younger one wearing this particular shirt since it's a "Bresking Bad" theme. Overall I'm happy with this purchase and have no other issues. The quality seems really good but I have not washed the shirt yet to see how it will hold up or if it will fade and shrink. The material is a thick kind and grays tend to hold their color so I don't expect issues there. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zsgift Women O-neck Short Sleeve Print Summer T Shirt Chiffon Women Clothing; Brand: zsgift; Review: First of all I would like to say that the seller should probably write more of a description for this item since it's pretty much a gamble buying this item without one. I purchased a size small although I usually wear an XS. I was glad I had gone with a small because this item has no buttons, zippers or anything to help get it on. I had no issues but could see where some would given that the material has absolutely no stretch at all. It's a very thin material like expected so you would need an undershirt but that's how most shirts of this material are. The patterns they had were pretty cool and different. I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. Overall I was happy with the shirt but turned out to not be really my style.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: adidas Team Speed II Sackpack; Brand: adidas; Review: I am just now writing a review almost 2 years after purchasing this item. I bought this bag for my son to hold his medical supplies that he carried on him almost daily. The only reason why I'm now replacing the bag is because my son got bored with it and simply wanted a new one. It never ripped or broke even after vigorous usuage by my now 13 years old. Very well made and the straps are thicker than your typical drawstring bag so they are more comfortable for longer wearing times.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Larry Levine Women's Double-Breasted Plush Coat; Brand: LARRY LEVINE; Review: Great coat. It's soft and cozy. I love the color. It's not biege or off white it's a true stone color (very subtle light gray tone). I ordered size 10 hoping that it wouldn't be too small. It's not necessarily too large I simply prefer my coat more fitted because I'm curvy and I feel that I look "larger" if it's not as fitted. Significant other says it looks and fits perfect! You could definitely layer and wear your coat with ease. I'm a curvy size 10. If you're a slim 10 you might want to order size 8.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

If you don't mind the slight shine then they're great for running errands, the beach, pool, etc. They're flats and do not provide arch support. However, I did walk quiet a bit up and down hills and had to actually ran in them...they were very comfortable and very cushy. For this reason I give them 4 stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Autolizer H8 40W CREE LED Angel Eye Halo Ring Bulbs 6000K Xenon White BMW Headlights Lamps Marker for BMW E60; Brand: Autolizer; Review: The white light is bright and perfectly uniform on my 2007 335i convertible, a huge improvement over the yellow stock halogens....love the look! Installation was very tricky due to the limited space. The stock bulbs came out easily but I would suggest getting help from someone with small hands to get the new ones in. The only way I could get them in was to make a wire support to cradle them into position. I also agree with the previous reviewer, I would prefer they locked into place a little better.

Title: Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse; Author: Visit Amazon's Lee Goldberg Page; Review: This book had several places where I had to smile or laugh just picturing Monk in that situation. I particularly liked when Monk and Natalie have to search through mountains of garbage at the transfer station to find a piece of evidence. You have to read it to appreciate it. And in this book, Monk is staying with Natalie and Julie because his apartment is being exterminated by his landlord. That doesn't really go well. I actually think in the books that Monk is presented more obsessive and compulsive and more difficult to deal with than on the TV show. This storyline gives Natalie a little romantic bit too. And as always, Natalie is telling the story from her perspective. It actually gives you insight into Natalie's thoughts and feelings as she moves through her days with Monk that you don't get from the show. This story intertwines a house fire with the killing of a firehouse dog, the latter which upsets Julie and she asks Monk to investigate. Fun read. I recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mr. Monk and the Blue Flu; Author: Visit Amazon's Lee Goldberg Page; Review: I had been watching Monk on TV for a long time before I discovered the books. The Blue Flu has a lot going on at the same time. Monk finds out from Stottlemeyer that the blue flu is coming to San Francisco. Monk is thinking it's some horrible virus ready to bear down on the city, but the Captain explains that the police force and the city are in a labor dispute. The police force are planning on calling in "sick" in mass until they get a better contract. This gives Monk the chance to get back on the force if he doesn't mind being a "scab". He gets his badge back and becomes Captain to his own squad who make Monk look like he has no mental problems at all. They have to get it together and tackle all the assaults and murders happening in the city, and hold down the fort until the regular police force come back to work, if they ever do. It has all the endearing characters from the TV show and you can just hear their voices saying the lines from the book as you read. Natalie is telling the story. It's classic Monk.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii; Author: Visit Amazon's Lee Goldberg Page; Review: Natalie needs a break from Monk and actually thinks that she will be able to have a relaxing vacation when she goes to Hawaii for a friend's wedding. But Monk doesn't want to be left alone or have a substitute caretaker, so he shows up on Natalie's plane all drugged up so he can survive the trip. Once in Hawaii, Monk gets himself and Natalie involved in an elderly lady's accident that he knows is murder, and there goes Natalie's vacation. Monk and Natalie assist the Hawaiian police with the case as well as some others in between. Monk also goes up against a psychic during his investigation of the possible murder, and if you know Monk, you know this psychic is definitely not one of his favorite people. It's all set in beautiful Hawaii. Natalie does get away a little to site see, and sometimes drags Monk with her. All his quirks are there, as well as some new phobias Monk didn't even know he had. The story keeps you guessing about who the murderer is until the end. I recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Psych: Mind Over Magic; Author: Visit Amazon's William Rabkin Page; Review: I watch the Psych TV show and started reading the books a few months ago. I am reading the last of the five book series now. Mind Over Magic is my least favorite of the books. The entire plot of the story was strange, unbelievable, and far fetched and I just couldn't follow it. The characters, other than the regulars, were really "out there" and I couldn't relate. Usually when I read, I get visuals in my head about places or things or characters, but I couldn't do that with this book. The storyline is about magic and magicians so if you enjoy those things a lot perhaps you can follow it better than I did. Rabkin kept all the regulars in usual character following the TV show and the other books so that helped a little to stay with it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Psych: a Mind is a Terrible Thing to Read; Author: Visit Amazon's William Rabkin Page; Review: I have been watching the Psych TV show for a couple of years, but just in the last 6 months discovered there were books also. I am on the last book that's out, so I've almost read them all. This book was not one of my favorites of the series. I found it difficult to follow the plot and who was who in the story (aside from the regulars) and it just wasn't suspenseful for me. Characters kept being introduced but none of them were likeable, and the ending was easy to figure out before you got there. Of course, Shawn, Gus, Lassie, etc. were the same as they are on the TV show so Rabkin did maintain the integrity of their characters throughout the story.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Psych: the Call of the Mild; Author: Visit Amazon's William Rabkin Page; Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. Shawn and Gus end up at a bonding retreat in the wilderness with their client's employees, and one of them is a murderer. As the retreat goes on, there are all kinds of antics of course, but as Shawn and Gus are trying to figure out who the killer is, the killer is bumping them off, one at a time. Just when you think you know who the killer is, the story takes another turn and you begin to suspicion someone else. That's what happens to Shawn and Gus too who finally figure it out just in time. Just like their TV show, Shawn and Gus make the best of the situation even though they are out of their element for sure in this one. Their characters are portrayed exactly as on the show with Shawn all laid back and taking it easy no matter what the situation and Gus worrying over everything and the perfect straight man to Shawn. I liked that I wasn't sure who the killer was until the end and that up to that point, the suspect kept changing. A nice little who dunnit. I found myself not wanting to put down the book because I wanted to see what would happen next. I recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Psych: A Fatal Frame of Mind; Author: Visit Amazon's William Rabkin Page; Review: This book I couldn't put down. The plot and storyline are a lot like Da Vinci Code or National Treasure where you aren't quite sure who's responsible for all the mayhem and murders as Shawn and Gus are trying to sort through an international mystery. Gus takes on a case involving a past art professor of his and all of a sudden they are in the middle of a murder the professor is accused of. They find themselves on the run with the professor while trying to prove his innocence and trying to keep the cops away who want to get the two of them for aiding and abetting a fugitive. The three of them are trying to find a missing painting that might hold all the clues of a possible conspiracy involving an old secret society like the Templars or the Rosicrucians who are trying to find the Excalibur from King Arthur fame. It is fast paced and full of action while still containing the characteristic back and forth between Shawn and Gus that we're used to. I highly recommend this book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Psych: Mind-Altering Murder; Author: Visit Amazon's William Rabkin Page; Review: I find this book very difficult to review because it is different from the other books in the series. I have now read all five of the books and this one is not the normal of the other books or the TV show. First, Gus is the star in this book. The story finds him struggling with the decision to either stay with his current pharmaceutical job and his role at Psych (and stay a child who is irresponsible and childish) or accept an executive position at a much larger pharmaceutical company in San Francisco which would mean no longer working with Shawn at Psych in Santa Barbara (and growing up as he feels he should do). This scenerio puts him at great odds with Shawn who doesn't want to lose his friend and doesn't want to face change, but at the same time, he feels he must let Gus go if that is what makes Gus happy. Gus goes from being very moody and indecisive until he decides to relocate and accept the position in the new company at which point he's content that he has made the correct decision. However, employees at this company are dying in supposed accidents which begin to look like murders. Meanwhile, Shawn is working on a missing person's case that involves him playing a special video game where the clues to this person's whereabouts can be found. And meanwhile, Lassie and Jules are working on a baffling possible suicide or murder case that is personally affecting Jules. Now all of this begins to intertwine and come together. For most of the story, Shawn and Gus are doing their own thing, Shawn works with Jules and Lassie only briefly, Gus and Jules and Lassie only briefly connect, and so on until the very end when it all comes together, and so do they. When I first started reading this book, I thought I wasn't going to like it. It began with Shawn and Gus playing this rather macabre video game and was sort of weird and depressing. But once the action and intrique began shortly after this from the development of these three parallel stories going on at the same time, I found it difficult to put the book down. I wanted to keep reading because I was curious how it was going to all come together and I was anxious to see what was going to happen to Shawn and Gus's friendship. I had no idea how it was going to end until Shawn began putting it all together so it kept me guessing who was really the culprit. I will admit that it took some getting used to that Shawn and Gus were at serious odds through most of the story because that's not usual with the other books and the show. But it did allow different insight into their friendship and their individual personalities that we don't normally see. I would say to give it a shot and don't be thrown too far off by the more realistic portrayals of the main characters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Armonia All Opera; City: Rome Lazio; Review: Paolo was a charming host and could not do enough for us to make our stay enjoyable. Lovely quality room (we had the suite) and the building had old world charm too! So very well placed for seeing the key sites in central Rome and only a short walk from the nearest subway. If you are following the guidance from Termini to Armonia, make sure you leave the station from it's main entrance, or you'll get lost!

Title: Hotel Donibane; City: Saint Jean de Luz Basque Country Pyrenees Atlantiques Nouvelle Aquitain; Review: We got what we paid for and were completely satisfied.

Breakfast was the usual French offering, but very tasty and plenty of it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Agur Deneri; City: Ciboure Basque Country Pyrenees Atlantiques Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: To reach this hotel required ude of 1st gear - the gradient was so steep. Once there, it required a 5 point turn to ensure we could leave the car park once other cars were alongside us. The owners had tried hard to provide good quality bathroom fittings and succeeded, but the bedroom, though very clean and comfortable was small and basic. We thought breakfast was overpriced at 9.50€ each and declined. Not a good decision as it turned out as there was lettle other choice on a Sunday morning so we left for home. We won't be going back! There are better choices in the area, cheaper, easier to find and access and with better breakfasts. We know, we've used them.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sercotel Horus Salamanca; City: Santa Marta de Tormes Province of Salamanca Castile and; Review: 4 Stars on its wall and it deserves them. We picked up a deal for 3 nights for the price of 2 including breakfast - what tremendous value for a hotel that was easily worth more! Standard offer for a chain, but very helpful staff all round was a bonus. Excellent menu of the day at 13.50€ for 3 courses of good food including a glass of wine, a bottle of water, bread and coffee. This was available at both lunch time and in the evenings. We discovered that 'in season' the pool can be somewhat crowded even though it isn't heated, but were there for the city highlights in early November. Bus to and from the city centre (15 minute trip) stops just outside and for the most part with a 15 minute frequency. Shopping centre almost next door was convenient too. Parking outside was free as only the underground, secure parking area charged. We'd stay there again quite happily.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chateau d Urtubie; City: Urrugne Basque Country Pyrenees Atlantiques Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: The Chateau was really over our budget for a one night stay, but my wife saw it and loved the idea.

We chose a large room, almost top of the price list, but it had a charm that an ordinary hotel cannot offer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sunshine Service Brake & Alignment; City: Sparks, NV; Review: RPM's were surging on my Hyundai Santa Fe but was intermittent. Took it to Sunshine and told them I thought it was either the Mass Flow Sensor or possibly a bad water pump. They took it for a test drive and told me it did not surge on the test drive, and charged me $125. I am not a happy camper as far as Sunshine Service goes. On my way home the RPM's started surging again, just great! When I got home i disconnected the Mass Air Flow Sensor and drove the car it worked fine. Then I cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor with CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner, cost $5.00, and then test drove the Santa Fe, it drove fine no RPM surging, problem solved. Moral of the story, do you own work if you can and save yourself $125. Won't be going back to Sunshine Service any time soon, they could have found the problem easily with little effort.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Sunshine Service Brake & Alignment; City: Sparks, NV; Review: Received a call from Rick, Sunshine's V.P. Operations, good discussion about my last visit to Sunshine Service.

Usually the lines are not long to get in especially on week days, back your truck in and empty the bed of your truck or tailor, does not take long at all.

Title: Summit Christian Church; City: Sparks, NV; Review: I have been a member of the church for almost 20 yrs, and actually served as an elder for Summit for 4 yrs. I give Summit 5 stars, but let me be clear, Summit is not a perfect church, because no church is perfect, we are all imperfect and fall short in that respect. Summit is a caring and welcoming church, they are biblical and preach the word of God, their staff is respectful and hard working and friendly. The pastors are good men, and real people who you can identify with. Our outreach to the world and our local community goes above and beyond in my opinion. We do believe in tithing, but I personally had to start somewhere and work my way up to tithing,you have to start somewhere. We come from many different traditions, I was raised Roman Catholic, but we have former Baptist, Methodist, Lutherans etc, it makes for a good mix, all are welcome at Summit. If you have children, we have a great children's ministry and Christian preschool. We are a large church, but started out small at the YMCA in Sparks, you can get lost if you don't get connected. My advice, join a life group as soon as you can, shop around and find the group that you feel comfortable with, old, young, middle age,singles, married, its your choice. All in all, its a great church, give it a try, you will feel welcome and accepted, but if you look for flaws you will probably find them, because no church is perfect.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Mike Fredenburg Painting; City: Sparks, NV; Review: Just had our home repainted with Mike Fredenburg Painting. Our home is located in Wingfield Springs, close to David's and the golf course. It is 21 years old and has been touched up once, so we were more than ready to have it repainted. Called and received three bids, Mike Fredenburg Painting was not the least expensive or the most expensive bid, but right in the middle and he uses Sherwin Williams top of the line paint, which our original builder used initially. From start to finish it took 3 1/4 days to finish painting our large 5 bedroom home exterior. Mike and his crew are experts and the last day was devoted to touch up, painting our front door and shutters, replacing carriage lanterns on garage and in our back yard. He and his crew do excellent work with exception to detail. The other thing we noted was that they arrived early and before they left each day, they policed the front and back yard of all trash and stacked all their materials neatly. They plan their work and work their plan, with great detail ! I highly recommend them. If you are want to make the exterior of your home look like new again, at a fair price call Mike Fredenburg and his crew!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Americas Best Value Inn Holbrook; City: Holbrook Arizona; Review: Selected this hotel at random because it seemed to look very cheap. It was a fraction over $30.00 per night. The room had all old amenities and had some minor damage with rips in the sheets. On the bright side, it was clean and there were no bugs or anything like that. The management was friendly and the price was right. The rooms are very quiet and they have internet and cable tv. If you are looking to get a cheap room for a cheap price without caring if it has the looks this is a great place to stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Pamplona; City: Pamplona Navarra; Review: Things fall to pieces here during the Running of The Bulls. There are dead bugs all over the lighted entranceway decorations. In my room there are dead bugs all over the windowsill. The floor clearly isn't vacuumed as I constantly have long hair stuck to my feet...and I have short hair and am staying with no one. I have found a live beetle, multiple spiders, and some flies in my room. The air conditioning only gets to 24 Celcius in my room and apparently is the norm unless late at night. There was a used towel bunched up on the floor under the desk when I checked into the room. I pulled up the covers of the bed before heading to sleep and noticed garbage underneath the bed. IF A HOTEL IS NOT CLEAN IT WILL NEVER GET MORE THAN ONE STAR FROM ME! The price is also very high (150-300 Euros per night) compared to hostels that offer cleaner amenities (I was in two of them visiting other guests). They have a computer center with a computer that is unbelievably old. It will take you an hour to check your mail. The wireless internet didn't work the entire first day I was here. Now for the nice things about the hotel. It is located right across a parking lot and street from a large mall with plenty of food choices. There is a supermarket next door. They have a bus for 3.75 Euro per person (a cab is 8 Euro total) each morning at 6:05am to the Running of The Bulls. The hotel remains relatively quiet during the festivities even though the walls are thin. I clearly heard the couple in the room next to mine having sex, but he was a two pump chump. Less than a minute and it was over. The front desk is exceptionally friendly and speaks both English and Spanish. They also try very hard to be helpful. If their housekeeping did a good job and they dropped the price a hair during the festivities I would have given it five stars.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bracamonte; City: Huanchaco La Libertad Region; Review: This hotel is very clean. They have staff working practically around the clock to make sure the beautiful grounds are well kept. Security is so strong that they leave the windows to your room open when they clean them. I had a laptop out, Kindle, and a lot of other valuables. Over the 6 days I stayed there I had not a single issue. The hotel is located right across the street from the beach and a short few minute walk to a plethora of restaurants. Staff does NOT speak English almost at all, but you can still figure things out pretty easily. There is a restaurant in the hotel as well. The food is good for some things, but the pasta's were average at best. Lot's of taxi's to be found without working for it. You can get almost anywhere for 15 Soles. There is a very nice pool that sees very little use. It's almost like having a private location. Don't expect a 5 store resort by any means, but if you want ultra friendly staff, nice very clean rooms, very nice grounds (there are a few dogs that live on the grounds, but they are ultra friendly and well trained), and security that won't leave you wondering about your things. This hotel is EXPENSIVE for Peru, but still cheap for Trujillio/Huanchaco. It cost me 130 Soles a night. For the money, there is tremendous value though. I highly recommend it. Forgot to mention, it can get a bit noisy at times. During the morning you will hear roosters and sometimes during the night you will hear cats and dogs fighting (all outside the hotel). Not a deal breaker by any means, but still quiet overall for Trujillo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maria Luisa Hotel; City: Lima Lima Region; Review: When I entered my room it was clear that they just swept the floors, but didn't mop them. The room seemed clean other than that. The hot water took so long to turn on that I actually thought it didn't work and got in the shower while it was cold. The fan in the room didn't work and there are no other climate controls. More important factors: I have stayed with this hotel twice in the last two years. It has been extremely loud in two completely different parts of the hotel. Also, don't expect to sleep past 6am. There is always construction going on that feels like and sounds like it is in your room. In the middle of the night expect to hear people outside your hotel and a lot of hookers coming in for sex. Their customer service is not very good. I had my friend call from the lobby and they wouldn't let him up...period. I had to go down to greet him and then we headed out. No problems for others with hookers, but God forbid a gringo stops bye. The Pro's: The hotel is close to the water, some good restaurants, and the market. It also is quite cheap. I would go elsewhere, but you aren't going to be devastated with the problems of this hotel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Paris Porte de Versailles Expo; City: Vanves Hauts de Seine Ile de France; Review: We reserved a room at this hotel and when we arrived we were greeted with the information that they hadn't checked to see if there were online bookings. We were then told that they didn't have our room. They had us speak to Expedia so that Expedia could provide them with the booking information. After the hotel finally admitted they screwed up they told us that they would send us to a new hotel "just around the corner." It wasn't. It also wasn't near a Metro line. We were rudely greeted when we entered that hotel. We had to use taxi's at insanely overpriced rates that would charge roughly an 8-10 Euro surcharge for coming to the hotel. That's about $10-$13 just to arrive! We had a very barren room with no view and poor housekeeping that had left a dirty q-tip on our bathroom floor for our arrival. I can go on and on. It was a disaster. I asked for some sort of compensation for our hassle and were told that we couldn't even get free upgraded internet because the free one didn't work because "there are too many people on it." We asked about housing our luggage at our original booking location so we could pick it up later on the day of departure and were told no. The check in was SLOW. We weren't in our room until over an hour after we first arrived. I'm certainly going to file a complaint with Expedia and if they won't do anything I will be filing a complaint with my credit card company.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Five, Six ... Grab your Crucifix (Rebekka Franck, Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Willow Rose Page; Review: Interesting series. The main character is one of my favorites. If you like murder mysteries, this is s series you will enjoy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Seven, eight ... Gonna stay up late (Rebekka Franck, Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Willow Rose Page; Review: Intriguing series. Not as well-written as some, but I found myself wanting to read more. While I prefer fantasy, this murderer mystery series is pretty intriguing.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Raft People 2; Brand: Visit Amazon's M.L. Katz Page; Review: I liked the Raft People and was quite amazed about what life might be like if our world flooded. Curious enough to buy this one. Some of this was plausible while other elements seemed too much of a stretch of the imagination. I wasn't entirely pleased with the ending as it seemed somewhat contrived. I would liken this book to a B disaster movie. Entertaining, but not worth the cost of a ticket and concessions.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sedulity (Book One) Impact (Sedulity Saga 1) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's David Forsyth Page; Review: As a fan of dystopian and apocalyptic literature and movies, I was interested in this book when BookBub offered it free. After reading a couple of chapters, I was reluctant to even put it down at all. I didn't want it be a typical cruise ship disaster story, and it wasn't. I was intrigued, shocked, and frightened by the possibility that something this shocking could happen. An asteroid hitting the earth is possible and since one hasn't hit as large as this one in our lifetime, we do know it is possible, but don't know the extreme results that could possibly happen. Hence this book is very likely more possible than we would care to admit. Characters are well rounded and believable, and I liked the way the author kept the reader informed about what was happening around the world as events were unfolding around this cruise ship and its passengers and crew. As I don't like spoiler reviews, this is all I have to say except that I am off to purchase Book 2!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blind Sided; Brand: Visit Amazon's Susan Kiernan-Lewis Page; Review: An action.packed apocalyptic series that just grabbed my attention and forced me to sit up in the wee hours of the night to find out what had happened to the characters I had come to love and hate. This is the fourth book in this spellbinding tale of people who struggle to survive after a catastrophic bombing close to Ireland. There's the beauty of Ireland and the darkness which creeps into people's lives when their world suddenly goes away and they are forced to live much as people did in the 19th century. Start with Book 1 and you will not stop until you have read all of them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Atomic Sea; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jack Conner Page; Review: Part Six finds our heroes in a great deal of trouble. They are in and out of one extreme danger to another. The R'Loth have created incredibly giant starfish that are destroying island after island on their quest to take over the world. Sheridan is still proving to be a thorn in Avery's side. There are many twists and turns as well as more creepy monsters from the deep. This one ends with a surprise twist that hopefully will be a positive event in the lives of our group of heroes. The characters continue to fascinate me and show new characteristics and attitudes. Really enjoyed Part Six.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Atomic Sea; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jack Conner Page; Review: The Atomic Sea, Part 7, was quite fascinating. Getting our favorite characters in and out of danger is standard for these novels. The imagination in creating these abominations of the Atomic Sea continues to evolve into fantastical creatures, reminiscent of the crew of Davy Jones Locker from Pirates of the Caribbean. The characters continue to be the most fascinating part of this series although I am ready for Avery to decide his friends and family are most important. Fascinating, disgusting creatures, and likeable characters make this a great read for sci-fi readers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alive for Now (The Infected Dead Book 1) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Bob Howard Page; Review: Basically the standard living dead story with someone with the money, resources, savvy, and skill to live through the virus that turns millions of people into flesh eating monsters. Full of danger and hope, this novel keeps you on your toes when the characters make choices that you know will lead to disaster. People who know the Low Country will be excited to see names of towns, bridges, waterways, and landmarks they are quite familiar with.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Survive for Now (The Infected Dead Book 2) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Bob Howard Page; Review: The 2nd book of this series really brings the characters to life and actually made it more realistic by showing people who didn't have millions to spend on apocalyptic shelters. Tom, saving his daughter, in anyway possible was more believable. Action packed and full of guts and glory. Ready for the next one!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The 5th Wave: The Last Star (Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Rick Yancey Page; Review: Liked this series very much. Thought the book and movie of The Fifth Wave were both really good. The next two books made many things clearer. Lots of action in the Last Star. If you like interesting and unique characters and Sci-Fi, you will like this book and series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Faslane Files; Brand: Visit Amazon's Harry Dayle Page; Review: I think it was a great idea to let the readers of his other series know what was happening to the 100 who were left at the Naval Base while the large cruise ship looked for liveable land. What happens to them is horrible and scary. Looking forward to Book Two, but please no snakes, scorpions, or spiders.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Eden Lost (Eden Rising Post-Apocalyptic Series Book 2) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Andrew Cunningham Page; Review: Never short of natural disasters and evil men, the protagonists of this series rise to the occasion with old and new friends. Realistic characters who sometimes make mistakes and sometimes do what their heart tells them to do, are the most interesting part of this series. Really enjoying their journey with them. Can't wait to read the next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eden's Legacy (Eden Rising Post-Apocalyptic Series Book 3) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Andrew Cunningham Page; Review: Enjoyed this series very much. Positive emotion sparks throughout the plot, which still has evil people who are out to destroy the ones who are surviving and flourishing. Ben and Lila's legacy is their child, Katie, known as Cat in this book. She represents everything good about her parents. Exciting events, scary enemies, great friends, and positivity drive this last novel in the series. Enjoyed every book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Atlantis Gene: A Thriller (The Origin Mystery, Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's A.G.

Title: Hanes Silk Reflections Women's Lasting Sheer Control Top Toeless Pantyhose; Brand: ; Review: Bought two pairs for a wedding I was in - always good to have a backup, right? Right. In the last ten panicky minutes before the wedding, I quickly but carefully pulled Pair #1 up to the knees, at which point a GIANT HOLE appeared in the calf of the hose. Not a snag, not a run - a GIANT HOLE. (And me in a midi dress, with stems on display.) Well, whew! Lucky I brought that second pair... I sighed and spent the last precious minutes of getting-ready time gingerly inching the other pair up over my legs, and they were okay for the duration of wedding as long as I didn't a) walk too fast, b) sit with my knees bent, or c) enjoyed any type of movement. All well and good for the ceremony portion of the day, where standing there and looking pretty is one's job, but as soon as I went to the bathroom for a moment's respite - a GIANT HOLE from the top of my knee to the middle of my calf appeared as I carefully pulled them back up again. Again: not a snag, not a run. A GIANT HOLE. Won't be buying these again. In case you were wondering. (Color was good though.); Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Seychelles Women's Quiz Show Dress Sandal; Brand: Seychelles; Review: Excellent shoes, especially for a vintage aficionado like me. The heel is high enough to make you feel dressed up, but not so high that you want to fling them off your feet after a few hours. Peep toe was perfect size - not too big, and not pointlessly small since they're cut to expose just a couple of well-pedicured toenails. Beautifully made, and gorgeous - they were a true shiny neutral gold, not that cheap brassy gold you sometimes see with women's shoes. They'll look fantastic with all kinds of outfits, not just vintage looks, although that was the spirit in which they were bought. Recommended all around.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nine West Women's Renu; Brand: ; Review: A great basic black summer shoe that gives just enough height to feel a little dressy. The edges of the bands across the top of the foot definitely rub against my toes, and they do run a bit larger than other Nine West shoes I have, but for the most part they're actually pretty comfortable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series; Brand: David Attenborough; Review: WARNING SIGN: "Spoilers" abound. If you wish to preserve "shark and awe," please read no further. This beautifully shot series captures images never seen and ones that will be lost forever. So much for virtues: Planet Earth unrealistically emphasizes the dramatic, big, bloody, cutesy, sad, and cuddly. The eco-message doesn't make up for the superficiality. For the most part Planet Earth, like Wild Kingdom, seems most concerned with generating emotional responses in humans. Most of the animals are depicted in a way that appeals to a hardwired emotion "big," "cute," "cunning," fierce." As for how creatures evolved to be what they are and what makes them tick, we learn little or nothing. We learn a lot about animals killing and get killed. Like "When Animals Attack," Planet Earth shows us only the real world. This is the here and now, and these are the things that are happening, on the surface. However, nature is infinitely more subtle and varied than the biggest flocks of birds, the scariest looking cephalopod, the biggest herds of grazers, the big cats bringing down an elephant, the big fish eating the seals, and the sad or cute little dramas that serve as appetizers or desserts to the real action. The helicopter just happens to be hovering overhead at the right moments for encounters between sharks and seals. Of course that's representative - sharks eat seals. For example, if one dropped a seal into the water from a helicopter I have no doubt that a shark evolved to eat seals would indeed eat it. We are equally interested to witness the random encounter between komodo dragon and anaconda but of course that would be non-credible. Charlton Heston fought the army ants. Charlton Heston fought the talking apes. These are fascinating encounters, but did either happen exactly that way? I have no information about the Planet of the Apes. However, army ants ARE found in South America, so what's the harm of showing what would happen if they attacked a ranch and Charlton Heston had to defend it. And the pathos. The mother defends her eggs, baby etc. but predator gets the eggs, baby, etc. In a tear-jerker "Dumbo" the baby becomes separated from Mommy elephant. Poor baby follows her tracks - the wrong way. Planet Earth is on the spot to film yet another dramatic incident. Perhaps inspired by Star Fleet's Prime Directive they keep hands off as the sad drama unfolds. Or do they? I was surprised not to see the brutal conclusion. In almost all other instances ones two minute attention span is amply rewarded. An antelope escapes Cape Hunting dogs, causing an uneasy moment as it swims in a lake ( during which time we are reassured that sooner or later it must emerge. Tick-tock, more footage of antelope swimming). Not to worry! Within a minute, and against production deadlines as we are told in the Commentary, a dead antelope mysteriously turns up. Against all odds the footage of the dogs ripping it apart is captured. We are told the Cape Hunting dogs have to; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Mulholland Drive; Brand: Naomi Watts; Review: Mulholland Drive is a multilevel masterpiece that I enjoy again and again. Own the movie so that you can appreciate its puzzles, artistry, dream symbols, unforgettable characters, and commentaries on the nature of film-making, the nature of evil, and the mysterious connection between our inner and unconscious worlds and external reality. It will provoke emotions ranging from pathos to funny/funny. Naomi Watts gives an unforgettable performance surrounded by marvelous performances. If you watch this movie once and emerge totally confused, don't dispair! There are excellent explanatory reviews that can give you the basic roadmap from dream to reality. If you need help, read a couple of reviews, but find your own meaning! Once you understand that the first part of the movie is dream/delirium you will probably quickly perceive how the dream frays and then breaks, and the main features fall pretty simply into place. If that doesn't work, try Blue Velvet. If you love it, don't hesitate to watch Lost Highway, and on the 13th floor you will finf Inland Empire. Mulholland Drive is a great movie to share. It is a love story. My wife does agree that Winkie's = Denny's but I will never be able to convince her that the evil-personifying "man" behind Winkie's is actually Diane Selwyn's dream substitute for her horrid former roommate. And that is perfectly OK.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inland Empire; Brand: Laura Dern; Review: Don't buy this movie before working your way up through a David Lynch progression, for example Blue Velvet > Mulholland Drive > Lost Highway. At that point one can ask, "Are you with me so far?" If so, then let's go all the way. As in other David Lynch movie, dream/delirium and the internal unconscious interact with the so-called real world. Symbols and symbolic people abound, or in the case of the rabbit-people, bound. The commentary on movie-making is sublimely funny. You may think IE is too long but the bonus material, "more things that happened" prove that, like life, IE is too short. Like life, you can take the dvd in stages. A long unveiling of sufferings by "Nikki," as amazingly played by Laura Dern, to psychiatrist-guy concludes with the story of how Nikki's mother had her hand squashed by one of those stamping machines that make corn-cob end-holders (you probably knew all about the manufacturing process, but it is helpful to insensitive people like me to be reminded that all such things are made by real people or in this case, unreal people). Her mother's hand was squashed "flat as a pancake." Finally psychiatrist guy utters his first words, "I like pancakes." Watch this movie with someone you love so that you can discuss it. I think Nikki is a dream manifestation from the old woman's unconscious. My wife disagrees. Probably if I read the many reviews I could learn the "correct" interpretation, and perhaps one day I shall.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lost Highway (Widescreen Edition); Brand: ; Review: David Lynch explores the boundary between the internal world and the real in evocative, engaging and atmospheric style. thisis one of Lynch's most approachable movies - on the level of Mulholland Drive and a little more complex than Blue Velvet. Evil - so authentically personified by Robert Blake (last seen on trial for a real-world murder) - is resident in the heart and mind of a saxophonist brilliantly played by Bill Pullman (who was "Lone Star" in Spaceballs) and Patricia Arquette (last seen as the popular television series "Medium.") Robert Loggia is the gangster. Here their talents are not wasted, and neither is one minute of film. There are also some other actors. As always with Lynch there is brilliant humor if you appreciate his type of humor. Most memorably, the instructional driving lesson administered by the gangster Robert Loggia. The plot is simple like most Lynch plots once you understand that things experienced are not necessarily real. As a Lynch-O-phile I deciphered this one on first viewing, which doesnt mean that there are not remaining puzzles. The real point is to be carried by the tides of a story told with both emotional and intellectual clarity, and with a relentless momentum leading to a really terrifying collision of worlds real and unreal. Skip the last paragraph if you prefer to figure things out your own way. ** The saxophonist marries a former porn star. He recoils at sex with her, a problem amplified by jealousy when he sees her with a former friend/lover. Evil, personified by Blake, is invited into the house. Brutal murder, arrest,conviction and retreat into delusion (Lost Highway) and the delusional persona of young auto mechanic Eddy follow. However, the veil of delusion is pierced first by recollection of his own music, then by the reappearance of his murdered wife as gangster's moll. More things happen... ****; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Solaris; Brand: George Clooney; Review: This is a serious movie, and if you have already decided you don't like it you might consider asking yourself whether there is a deeper reason than the usual considerations. Facing our mortality, it can be uncomfortable to contemplate immortality. Having found a faith or having confirmed our own lack of faith, perhaps it is uncomfortable to contemplate the alternative to which the Solaris story takes us. And so in that regard this is one of those movies that is a worthwhile experience even if it doesn't give you the most immediate reward, and that's the definition of a great movie. I loved it. Steven Soderburgh captures the essential mood and mystery of the Solaris story through the changing venues (rainy Seattle, the stark interiors of the space station) all of which heighten the impact of the sentient planet whose mood itself changes in some relationship to the intense interactions of the characters. The sentient planet looks exactly as I, many years in advance, knew it should look and the relationships to that planet of the beings who its manifestations are exquisitely drawn. This is what it might be like to see the face of god. This is a great movie because it drew me forward to a better place, intellectually and emotionally, and this is not directly dependent on my own religious beliefs or lack of them. The emotional impact is brought to a perfect peak by a poetically beautiful musical score. See this movie if you are interested in the philosophical implications of your possible origin as manifestation of a more complex and incomprehensible process or in thinking about the nature of life and mortality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Over America; Brand: na; Review: If you are a relentless fan of narrator Tom Skerrit, you may love this one hour, not-so-high-definition extravaganza. Or maybe you would enjoy footage of the WTC without jets crashing into them. Quite understandable. But even so, do you really need to add this to your "collection?" No.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf; Brand: ; Review: Downside: as observed in some one star reviews, this version scrimps on Prokofiev's music, which is odd, because the music is so ingenious, characterful, humorous, and charming. The rest is all upside: each of those adjectives also applies to the visual and story-book aspects of this Suzie Templeton version of Peter and the Wolf - and even if the fates of the duck and the wolf come out a little differently I couldn't bring myself to become Upset about it - but just enjoyed the "alternate ending". This movie made me laugh, but adults need to step back and try to view a little movie such as this from a child's perspective. Suzie Templeton has created an entertainment and a narrative that is deep and involving for a child. It stimulates their creativity, and involves them emotionally. It sensitively deals with a reality that is hopefully more brutal than what most of our children are experiencing, and shows a child overcoming adversity. Its only a million times better to have your child watch this than "Power Rangers" and occasionally children do need to take a few minutes break from videogames. If you think Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle, Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Henson's Mirrormask are great (although made with very different techniques), then you will probably also like Peter and the Wolf. Children's movies that are good for their little sould are too few and far between. On the musical side, I suggest you find the Alec Guinness - narrated CD with the Boston Pops, but there are many fine versions.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1985) / REGION 6 DVD / Audio: English, Japanese, French, Simp. and; Brand: Hayao Miyazaki; Review: Nausicaa, released in 1984, is one of the best movies ever made. It can be enjoyed at many levels, and by children and adults. Nausicaa is a profound statement about the resilience of man and nature, and of the good that is at war with sickness of spirit. It teaches how good and evil war within man, creating the potential for small disasters and global disaster, and that our better side can triumph, both in small and great things. Nausicaa learns that sometimes good has to defend itself, and even kill, but there is more strength and wisdom in moderation and understanding, and there is virtue in community and tradition. Nothing, including the Toxic Jungle - which cries out to be shown in 3D- is what it seems on the surface. Life goes deeper than that. A girl shows the way. She should be the role model for daughters, and sons. Does Nausicaa wear underpants?? oh. the horror, the horror... But she probably does, so not to worry. Her little skirt is just an outfit on an anime character and well suited to aerial acrobatics. In Kubrick's 2001 our great to the nth power ape grandparents are shown completely naked. I want a Treefox.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Divergent; Brand: Shailene Woodley; Review: If your tweens liked the Hunger Games, and they did, they are going to like this. As for older people such as myself, they are probably going to like it if they are "Divergent." Plenty of death, including to some of the "right people" and some of the wrong. Mind control. Conspiracies. A bizarre society. Cool tatoos. All in all, an enjoyable time and a fine lesson to the youth of the world: don't be one dimensional and remember, when the going gets tough the tough get going.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ken Burns: The Roosevelts; Brand: .; Review: Ken Burns has located and woven together a beautiful tapestry of irreplaceable photos and footage. He has again put together a quintessentially American documentary. However, he doesn't tell both sides of the story. The flaws in his heroes are papered over or pre-excused as lessons in human nature. Its essentially a panegyric to the Roosevelts. Consider Burns' take on FDR, which represents a big piece of the series. Strangely, Burns avoids Eleanor Roosevelt's kookiness, so entertainingly discussed in a recent New Yorker article based on recent biographies of FDR. Given that much of the FDR portion of the series is about Eleanor and the relationship between the two of them it is odd that it wouldn't be mentioned, but I was hardly upset because really, and as Hillary Clinton famously said, "What difference does it make?" However, I was saddened by Burns' sanitized version of how six million Jews, and more than a million others, were allowed to die in the Holocaust. Missing from the story was that the millions died. I think that does make a difference. Somehow the Holocaust was no fault of FDR's - in Ken Burns' version of history FDR had been a bit of a hero for speaking out early against the Nazis' maltreatment of the Jews, and a wise leader for his anodyne position that Europe's Jews would best be saved by defeating the Nazis. Except that his strategy failed. FDR is also represented as having done everything an American President could do to get America into the war to help Britain, which bravely fought alone for two years while we sold them supplies. For cash on the barrelhead, until Britain's reserves were completely exhausted. In discussing why Roosevelt - a greatb leader - could not/would not lead America into war, America's reluctance to join Great Britain WW2 is equated with our reluctance to join Great Britain in WW1. It is true that Americans were isolationist before both wars, but there the similarity ends. WW1 was not fought against an evil empire. Germany did not threaten the world, it was engaged in a power struggle with France and England with whom we merely had a closer affinity. Furthermore, Great Britain's situation in WW2 was utterly desperate and 50 old American destroyers and Lend Lease were never going to save it. Fortunately for FDR's historical reputation, the Japanese foolishly attacked Pearl Harbor and the Germans foolishly declared war on both the United States and the Soviet Union. Except for this perfect trifecta of stupidity, FDR might be remembered as the American President who allowed the triumph of a great evil and the destruction of his closest allies. Or perhaps with America desperate and isolated, FDR would have authorized that A-Bombs he was building be dropped on European cities, turning them into radioactive Dresdens. In summary, I enjoyed Burns' new series just as I have all his series and learned many interesting things about the Roosevelts. However, I expect more criticality and balance in a biopic, which is what this essentially is.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes (A Rose Gardner Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: Ive never been a reader, but was looking over the Kindle free list and came across this book. It had good reviews and was ranked high, so I figured it was worth trying. Needless to sayI AM HOOKED!!! At the time I did not realize it is a series, but I am so glad. It was so easy to connect to Rose, I had a pretty sheltered upbringing and was somewhat of an outcast. I cannot wait to see what is in store for her.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thirty-One and a Half Regrets: Rose Gardner Mystery (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: If you have not read this series, you HAVE to read the first three books to read this one. It was absolutely stunning and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It did cause some poor parenting, as I had the tablet in my hand all morning and couldn't wait to put the kids down for a nap. So make sure you have plenty of free time, as you will not want to put this book down. Denise has done an amazing job making the reader feel like they are right there with Rose as she grows and goes through life. I am on pins and needles waiting to see what is to come with Thirty-Two and a Half.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Here: On the Otherside Series, Book One; Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: I absolutely LOVE all things DGS and this was no different. I have been putting off this series because of the cover. I prefer the lighter readings (I am a Rose Gardner fanatic) and thought this would be too dark for me to read before bed....was I wrong. Like all of her other books, I fell in love with the characters and could not put the book down. I cannot believe I waited so long to read this and cannot wait to read more. This is proof positive that you should not judge a book by it's cover ;); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thirty-Two and a Half Complications (Rose Gardner Mystery #5) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: I have to start off by saying that I am a huge DGS fan and this is my favorite series, so I may be a little bias in my reviews of all of these books. With that being said, she does not disappoint in "Thirty-Two and a Half Complications." You know you have a good series when there are five books and you still have a good story line going. I love to watch Rose grow and of course the Joe and Mason stories. I did think this one was a little on the slower side to take off, but that could have been because I found Thirty-One to be my favorite so far. In the end it was still an amazing book. I cannot wait for the novella to find out what kind of secrets might be revealed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chaos in Mudbug (Ghost-in-Law Mystery/Romance) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Jana DeLeon Page; Review: Thank you Jana for adding this humor to my life. This is an amazing series, and Helena just keeps going. I love the fact that as I am reading, whether in bed as my husband is sound asleep beside me or sitting in silence on the porch, I just randomly start cracking up.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ethics and Issues in Contemporary Nursing; Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret A. Burkhardt Page; Review: Great condiditon; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Abducted; Author: Visit Amazon's T R Ragan Page; Review: I started reading this series because I won a free copy of Obsessed, Book 4, so I had to start at the beginning. It was a little darker then what I typically read, but kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and I couldn't help but continue reading. Definitely one I would recommend to others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: There: On the Otherside Book 2 (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: Being fairly new to the reading world, I tend to relate books to tv shows or movies when I tell others about them. I did not know what to think of On the Otherside from the description but would now relate it to Fringe, which is amazing. DGS does a great job at making you feel like you are right there with Julia on her adventure. I cannot wait to see what is store next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Not Quite Dead (A Lowcountry Mystery) (Lowcountry Mysteries); Author: Visit Amazon's Lyla Payne Page; Review: So I am not going to lie, I was hesitant to read this because of it being a ghost story (yes, I am a scaredy cat). However, I am glad that I did not let that hold me back. While there were a few parts that I read and wished the lights were on, the overall story was beautiful, gripping, and left me wanting more. Gracie's relationship with her gramps reminded me so much of mine with my grandparents and some of her other life events in general. Definitely a new series I am happy to encourage others to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Not Quite Cold (A Lowcountry Mystery) (Lowcountry Mysteries) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Lyla Payne Page; Review: Lyla Payne does an amazing job of keeping you guessing in this book. With some mystery books you can start to piece together what is going to happen, or at least look back and see it, but I was not able to do that with this one. Just as soon as I thought I knew what was going to happen she throws a curve ball to make second guess everything. She leaves you with a major cliff-hanger at the end. I cannot wait to see what is to come in book 3.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Burned (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's J. Nichole Parkins Page; Review: I am being pleasantly surprised at how much I got into this book. Paranormal stuff isn't really a genre I get into, especially vampires, but I did like the aspect of shifters. Starting out I thought the book was "okay". By the middle I was hooked and didn't want go put it down! The end left me shocked (I literally gasped lol) and wanting more. I cannot wait to see what's going to happen next. *I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest feedback and a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Finding Kate Huntley; Author: Theresa Ragan; Review: Honest to goodness, Theresa Ragan just has a way of completely capturing you and sucking you in with words. Finding Kate Huntley was no different. I had a hard time putting this book down. I couldn't wait to see where each twist and turn was going to lead.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Curse Defiers (The Curse Keepers); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: I have to admit, The Curse Keepers Series isn't really my favorite genre of reading. I actually started the series just because of how much I LOVE DGS and her writing style. I thought the other books in this series were 'okay', they just weren't for me. I am so glad I stuck it out and read them all. This book made me fall in love with the series and the story-line.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Phonics for Kindergarten, Grade K (Home Workbook); Author: Carson-Dellosa Publishing; Review: My 4 year old loves this book and it is helping her so much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Summer on Seeker's Island (Seeker's Island Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Jana DeLeon Page; Review: I have already read books by 4 of the authors and loved them. This was good to get a little taste of each author's writing style. I really enjoyed the way some of the stories intertwined, definitely make it more interesting. While a lot of the stories were really good, I must say Theresa Ragen's was the absolute BEST. It really grabbed my attention.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Living the Dream: Whitman University (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Lyla Payne Page; Review: I have to say this was, by far, my favorite of the Whitman books. I absolutely loved it! I fell in love with Audra and Sebastian and I would gladly take a Sebastian of my own (I know what you are thinking but read it to believe it). I also enjoyed the suspense factor to this one, just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, something else came along. I would love to see another book in this series to tie up loose ends and unanswered questions.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brighter Child Handwriting: Printing (Brighter Child Workbooks); Author: School Specialty Publishing; Review: My 4 yo has enjoyed practicing her letters, I just wish there was more to the book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jana DeLeon Page; Review: When I read the description, I didn't really think it would be something I could get in to....boy was I wrong. Such a light-hearted, good read. You will not be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thirty-Three and a Half Shenanigans: Rose Gardner Mystery #6 (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: I have loved Rose from the beginning and love watching her grow (and create more trouble for herself). As I was reading this, my daughter came in from the other room and asked if I was ok because I was cracking up. I love that aspect about this series. I am on pins and needles waiting for the novella and what's in store.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Away; Author: Visit Amazon's B.A Wolfe Page; Review: WOW, what an amazing story. Not what I expected it to be (not that I know what I expected) but amazing and very touching. Everyone could use to meet someone like Jase and learn to be more like him. *I received this book in exchange for my honest review. *Review done for Kylie's Fiction Addiction; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stay (The Keaton Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's B.A. Wolfe Page; Review: After reading Away, I was worried I wasn't strong enough or prepared to read Stay but I HAD to know what happened. As emotional as this story was (have your Kleenex ready), it was completely worth it. I love this series and the reminders that no matter what, fate will find a way of happening and sometimes we do get second chances.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rose and Helena Save Christmas: a novella; Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: Not only are Jana DeLeon and Denise Grover Swank my two favorite authors, I love the two series and characters they have brought together. While this could be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you get up-to-date with Ghost inlaw and Rose Garder series. It makes this novella that much better. The authors have a wonderful way of keeping the storyline light and humorous.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Whiskey and a Gun eBook; Author: Visit Amazon's Jade Eby Page; Review: I read this AFTER reading The Finish, not realizing it existed. Saving this will make The Finish a little more shocking (which I like) and you can come back and fill in some blanks. It does deal with some sensitive issues that some people may not be able to read about so please be forewarned. Otherwise, it was interesting to get Carter's perspective on things. *I received this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Over-Exposed (Perspectives) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Julie Jaret Page; Review: This is the first book of Julie's that I have read and it didn't disappoint. However, I would not recommend reading in public, unless you like to be 'seen'. Not only was Over-Exposed nice and steamy, but has a nice little bit of humor throughout it as well. Which I love. You can't help but to fall in love with Natalie and Sam. *I received this book in exchange for my honest review. *Review done for Kylie's Fiction Addiction; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love Nouveau (The Art of Falling) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's B.L. Berry Page; Review: I was hesitant about reading this novel because of the title and cover. I should have learned by now that I should not judge a book by its cover. I was worried it would be art focused and I would have a difficult time getting into it. Was I ever wrong. While it did have some art references, they were not over-bearing and did not make it difficult to follow, and the author does an amazing job of being able to paint a beautiful picture of the scenes. Ivy's story is sweet, sad, and shocking. I would love to read more about her. *I received this book in exchange for my honest review. *Review done for Kylie's Fiction Addiction; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holding Aces (The Kingdom); Author: Visit Amazon's Nikki Groom Page; Review: Starting out, I was worried that his book would be too dark (it may have triggers for some readers). Instead it was the perfect amount of suspense and romance. The end definitely leaves the reader wanting more and I am so glad book two is available for me now. *I received this book in exchange for my honest review. *Review done for Kylie's Fiction Addiction; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: High Stakes (The Kingdom) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Nikki Groom Page; Review: I absolutely LOVED this book. It was even better than Holding Aces (which I also loved). The author does an amazing job of keeping the suspense, while incorporating an amazing love story. I do not know what Nikki Groom has in the works for her next novel, but I am looking forward to reading it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Where We Belong (Belong Series); Author: Visit Amazon's K. L. Grayson Page; Review: I cannot believe this is KL's debut novel. It was absolutely amazing!!! I was hooked from the very beginning of the book and she kept my attention the entire way through to the end. I enjoyed having both POVs and she did not backtrack when it changed. So excited to see is next to come from KL.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unwritten (Unspoken Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's MC Decker Page; Review: If you have not met Rich yet, then you need to. You will (eventually) fall in love with him and this entire story actually. It's beautifully written. I cannot wait to see what is yet to come.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Starting From Lost (Broken Beginnings Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's S.K. Wills Page; Review: After reading the book description, I was really hoping to like this book more than I did. It is written in third person and did not seem to flow smoothly. The overall storyline was good, but it took me about two thirds of the book before I really started getting into it. Towards the end, the book seemed to pick up pace and flowed better. The author definitely seems to have potential, and I would be interested in reading more, this one was just really rocky for me. * This book was reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction * I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: through infinity: forever and a day book 1 (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Libby Austin Page; Review: While I think it is horrible that an author should have to write a type of 'disclaimer' to readers, I thought the one preceding the story was brilliant. Through Infinity was such a heart-warming story with a beautiful message. I got teary eyed, smiled, and laughed throughout the book. The author did a great job grasping my attention and maintaining my interest throughout the book. * This book was reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction * I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dirty Proof; Author: Visit Amazon's Jade Eby Page; Review: I read The Finish first, followed by Whiskey and a Gun to get Carter's perspective. This is the reverse of how Jade has released them, but I found it to allow for more suspense and then fill in some blanks. It does deal with some sensitive issues that some people may not be able to read about so please be forewarned. This book had so much emotion and dealt with so many issues that so many people have to live with on a daily basis (addiction, abuse, overcoming personal battles), yet it is somewhat taboo to speak of. There were times I found myself mentally yelling at the book and even got teary-eyed toward the end. The story could have ended so many different ways; Jade does a great job of keeping the reader on their toes and trying to guess what will happen next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Twisted Luck (Run Of Luck) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Julie Solorio Page; Review: Twisted Luck was funny, cute and quirky with some added suspense.

Definitely look forward to book 2. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction * Book received in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Everything Has Changed; Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Kayla Page; Review: Once I started it, I could not put it down. The story is absolutely amazing, swoon-worthy, and heartbreaking at times. The author does a fantastic job of writing the story so you feel like you are right there with the characters, experiencing their emotions and just when you think you know how things are going to play out, she throws you a curve ball. Mia does a great job of putting in the 'past' events at just the right place too. Definitely a MUST-READ! * I received an ARC from the author in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lighter (Begin Again) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Gia Riley Page; Review: *This book covers some issues that may be sensitive for some people to read.* With that being said, if you have had any experience with individuals who have suffered any type of abuse and/or addiction (of any kind), I HIGHLY recommend you read this book. It gives insight to what they have experienced and felt and helps you to understand why they have certain behavior patterns. You will absolutely fall in love all of the characters. Sophie, Kipton (seriously swoon-worthy), Cara, Drew, and even Caleb won me over. I just realized this was a series and am so excited to see what is next to come. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: If I Say Yes (Say Something Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Brandy Jellum Page; Review: There was a lot of this book that I really did enjoy. I loved the characters: Liza, Eli, and Reid . The suspense was great, but it almost seemed like there was too much crammed in and part of the book was set on fast-forward to get through it all. The end left me wanting more and hoping to find out about Reid's past. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hard; Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl McIntyre Page; Review: My heart broke for Holland and the journey she endured. I was a little taken back by Jensen, but ended up loving him and wanting more. The author does a fantastic job giving you dual POVs thoughout the book and adding some good unexpected twists as well. Definitely a good read. * I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pretty Pink Ribbons (A Touch of Fate) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's K.L. Grayson Page; Review: I honestly do not know if there are words that can do this book justice. KL had my heart smiling, crying, laughing, and skipping beats throughout the book. Laney is an absolutely amazing person inside and out. The effect she has on Levi is great. It was also nice to get a glimpse of Harley and Tyson. * I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Haunted Love; Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Frances Page; Review: This is definitely a unique kind of love story, but turns out to be a beautiful, heart-touching read. You cannot help but fall in love with Thea and feel for her.

Title: Not Quite True (A Lowcountry Mystery) eBook; Author: Visit Amazon's Lyla Payne Page; Review: I just LOVE Graciela and Millie! I didn't even realize how much I had truly missed them until I started reading Not Quite True. Lyla did an amazing job on incorporating where NQC left off to refresh the reading and not repeat the entire scenes. I adored Gracie's ghost and all the suspense kept me one the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see what is next to come. * I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thirty-Four and a Half Predicaments: Rose Gardner Mystery #7 (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: Despite the length of the book, it still was not long enough. I WANT MORE! This book was full of unexpected surprises throughout, but I have to say the biggest surprise to me is that I am leaning more towards Team Mason. The humor and suspense throughout theses books are absolutely amazing and this one did not disappoint.

Title: Wings Over Poppies (The Over Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's J.A. DeRouen Page; Review: What an emotional roller-coaster, in all the right ways. JA's writing is gripping and makes you want more. I felt like I was experiencing what they characters were feeling in each scene. I just loved Alex, and West completely stole my heart. Together their story is nothing short of amazing. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fate's Love; Author: Visit Amazon's L A Cotton Page; Review: I absolutely fell in love with Ethan! It is nice to see a story of the male pining over the female for a change and have magical fate can be. The book is broken up into parts and covers a long time span. There were times I would have liked to have known more to the story, but it was not something I couldn't do with out. I definitely look forward to reading the stories of the other friends from the group.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marry Me for Money; Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Kayla Page; Review: I thought this was a great debut novel. I enjoyed Bethany and her friendship with Kent and Brian seemed all most too good to be true. I laughed, teared up, and was on the edge of my seat throughout waiting to see what was going to happen. It was a light-hearted, good read but did have some added suspense and drama mixed in, which I loved.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Law of Moses; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy Harmon Page; Review: The overall story was very unique. I did have a bit of a hard time getting into the story, it was slow to take off. Despite that, it did keep me intrigued and wanting to know more. I think part of the problem was that I read too many comments about this book (I'd rather go in not knowing anything) and had set my expectations too high. I am looking forward to reading David's Song.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marrow; Author: Visit Amazon's Tarryn Fisher Page; Review: I don't even know where to begin with a review for this book. It has been two weeks since I read the book and it is still with me. I will hear, see, or read something and a scene of the story flashes in my mind. Yes, this book does point out some of the horrible things that actually happen in the world. Typically I try to avoid anything dark at all cost, but I can say I'm glad I read this book. It was amazing and so much more. You truly just have to read it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Runaway Love; Author: Visit Amazon's Pamela Washington Page; Review: Runaway Love really is a great debut novel. I enjoyed the author's style of writing. She grasped my attention and kept it. The problem I had was that it felt like the book was cut short, just sort of stopped, and I felt like there were large pieces of the story missing. Overall though, it was a good, easy read and I look forward to more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Man For Hire; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawna Fenske Page; Review: I absolutely LOVE this series. This is my favorite so far in the For Hire Series.

Title: Malevolent (Shaye Archer Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jana DeLeon Page; Review: Jana definitely took a chance writing a book so different from her others, but she did a magnificent job and I believe that is a true testament to her talent as a writer. In true Jana fashion, despite the darkness to the book, she still managed to make me laugh a few times. I was hooked from the very beginning and didn't want to put this book down.

Title: Ten Below Zero; Author: Visit Amazon's Whitney Barbetti Page; Review: This book was simply amazing and I now understand why others have said, 'you just have to read it'. Unfortunately, going into this book, I had exceptionally high expectations and knew a little bit about it. While reading, I did think it was a good book but was questioning what I had heard about it. THEN IT HAPPENED. In an instant, I realized why the book was so amazing. It gave me goosebumps and all kinds of feels that I can't even begin to describe. I already want to go back and reread the book to see what I missed from the first time. It was also interesting having some character cross-over from He Found Me and He Saved Me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Lowcountry Mysteries (Boxed Set #1) - Kindle edition; Author: Lyla Payne; Review: I was hesitant to read this series because of the 'ghost' factor, but that has not bothered me and I look forward to Gracie's ghosts. I have fallen in love with this series and enjoy seeing Gracie grow throughout them. The box set (with all the books in one place) is definitely the way to go! I cannot wait to see what is next to come for this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Truth in Wildflowers (Truth Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kimberly Rose Page; Review: The story itself was truly amazing. The characters were all easy to fall in love with. Especially August **SWOON**. The main downfall I had with this book was a few inconsistencies I found in the time frames and the editing (which I usually try and over look, but it was rough throughout). All in all this is definitely a good read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sound Advice: Sensations Collection 1; Author: Visit Amazon's L.B. Dunbar Page; Review: I have had this book on my kindle for a while. After meeting LB Dunbar at a signing this summer(and seeing how sweet and personable she was), I wanted to make a point to read Sound Advice sooner rather then later. Then the author had a post on her Facebook that prompted me to open the book and it was exactly the right time for me to start reading it. I absolutely fell in love with this book! The story is very sweet and heart-warming. I loved a lot of the secondary characters as well, including Nana and Katie. I don't normally care if I can relate to a book/characters when I am reading, but I was able to with this one and I believe that made me love it even more. I cannot wait to read more on this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taste Test: Sensations Collection 2; Author: Visit Amazon's L.B. Dunbar Page; Review: After reading Sound Advice, I HAD to know what was next to come. Even though this is a series, I felt this book was written a bit differently from the first, a good different and just as amazing. You get both Ethan and Ella's POV in this book and I found it to be a bit more intense with some suspense. I adore Ethan and Ella is so sweet. They are exactly what the other needs. I also loved getting a glimpse (in the acknowledgements)of what had inspired this series for the author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unscripted (Unspoken Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's MC Decker Page; Review: It has been a while since I read Unwritten and when I started reading Unscripted, I was worried I had forgotten some things. The author did a great job of including reminders from the first book to help you remember where it left off. It starts off heartbreaking, and not in any way you may have expected. It seemed this book just did brief highlights over time and did not really dive into the story. Getting some of Rich's POV in this book was enlightening but actually made me like him a bit less.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Truth in Watercolors (Truth Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Kimberly Rose Page; Review: It would be hard to top August and Kensie's story but this was definitely a good second. I was glad to get both Capri and Wes's POV. The both seem to be even more like-able once you get to know them. I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed and there was more story to be told. I look forward to more from Kimberly Rose. *I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fragrance Free: Sensations Collection 3; Author: Visit Amazon's L.B. Dunbar Page; Review: I truly cannot put it down. This is strictly Pam's POV but you get to know Jacob more, which I really enjoyed. I think it would have been really interesting to see Jacob's POV. I did have an event that left me with an unanswered question (even after completing the series). But overall I am loving this small town and the Carter and Scott families. *Also, it does say this series can be read as standalones, but I HIGHLY suggest reading in order to get the most out of the story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Touch Screen: Sensations Collection 4; Author: Visit Amazon's L.B. Dunbar Page; Review: I find it amazing that despite this being a series and from the same author that the books all have a unique twist. I enjoy that they have similar qualities but are still very much their own. This was the most emotional of the series for me. Even though I thought I knew what was to come, I was completely thrown off. I loved Gavin, but still felt like I wanted to smack him at times. His story was written at a perfect time for him to be introduced. The only problem I had was that story just kind of ended. I felt the others have wrapped up nicely, and this one just stopped and left me hanging a bit and wanting more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sight Words: Sensations Collection 5; Author: Visit Amazon's L.B. Dunbar Page; Review: I have absolutely adored this series and would highly recommend it. I do have to say, out of the five books, this was my least favorite. I had a difficult time getting into the story at first and felt the characters seems a bit awkward. I enjoyed getting Tricia and Leon's POV. I loved how truly sweet Leon was, and I don't think we could have got that with only Tricia's side of the story. I would have liked to have seen more of the previous characters throughout the story, but it was nice to see how things wrapped up for everyone at the end.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Drawn to You (Book 1 in the Chasing Olivia Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Jillian Anselmi Page; Review: There wasn't anything specifically to grab my attention but there was nothing to disinterest me either. Unfortunately, it continued in that pattern. I felt like I was constantly waiting for something that never came. I was also a bit put off by how things were described, a big name brand that I have never heard of but assume is supposed to mean something. I found my self skimming over parts throughout too. As for Olivia, she continues to talk about not having much money, but seems to be very high maintenance, not to mention her actions. I did not have a problem with the way the book ended but did fell it was lacking explaining the actually story. * Book received in exchange for an honest review for Kylie's fiction addiction.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Scheme; Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Kayla Page; Review: This can be read as a standalone, but I enjoyed having a little background from Marry Me for Money. It is a very sweet story for two characters that needed their HEA.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Only You (Second Chances) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Stephanie Rose Page; Review: Goodness, I did not expect the emotional ride this book created but it was an absolutely wonderful and amazing read. I was hooked from the beginning, instantly falling for Evan. His and Paige's story was so sweet and raw, you could feel what they felt as you read it. I cannot wait to read what Stephanie has next. *I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Storms Over Secrets (Over Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's J.A. DeRouen Page; Review: This book can truly be read as a stand alone, however, I did enjoy knowing everyone's prior story. While there are events overlapping from previous books, they are not repetitive. The author does a great job including enough information to remind you of people, places, or events without making you feel like you're rereading the same stories over and over. I have liked Cain from the first time I read him, but I absolutely LOVED getting to know him and having his POV. Celia's story is so heartbreaking and you can't help but feel for her. Despite the heaviness in the book, Cain helps to lighten the mood with his beautiful personality. I cannot wait to read Marlo's story. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * Received this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Pledge (College Bound Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Laura Ward Page; Review: I did have a difficult time getting into the beginning part of the book. I don't know if it was just because I could not relate to sorority lifestyle and the gymnastics, or maybe I am just getting too old for college books, but as soon as Taren and Alec see one another it caught my interest. I must say, William was my favorite character in this book. I did feel like the story was rushed in some places and a lot was left out. I loved seeing how fate can play such a huge part and enjoyed seeing how Taren and Alec both reinvented themselves. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Redeem Me: Oakville Series: Book Four (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Kathy-Jo Reinhart Page; Review: This can be read as a standalone, but to fully appreciate Angel's story I would recommend reading with the series. Angel has been quiet and mysterious making me want to know more about him from the beginning. I fell in love with him even more and my heart broke for him. Chelsie is absolutely adorable and perfect for him. It was good having a dual POV and also keeping with the story-line of previous characters. This book picks up where the previous left off, so there is not repetition but the author does a good job of summing up prior events to help you remember some major scenes. I look forward to what is next to come.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lucky Penny; Author: Visit Amazon's L A Cotton Page; Review: Wow, this book! L.A. never fails to amaze me. I fall more in love with her writing with each book I read. She definitely put the "feels" into this book. At one point I had to put the book down, walk away, and just enjoy some family time because I had so many different emotions swirling but couldn't put it down once I came back to it. We get Penny's POV for present day and Blake's POV from the past and different ages. It is written as such that you can relate to some of their experiences and feel for them and what they are enduring.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Fragile Fall (Undone Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristy Love Page; Review: I adored Will. His story is heartbreaking and so touching. It is good perspective if you've been close to someone who has suffered from severe depression. It gives both his and Ryanne's POV and does a wonderful job showing how each is hurting differently. I look forward to reading more from this author. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Heartfelt Lies (Undone) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristy Love Page; Review: This book could truly be read as a standalone, that may actually make it more like-able. This book is written in both Jax and Cassie's POV from the past and the present. It takes place several years after The Fragile Fall concluded and I felt like Jax was a completely different person from what I seen previously. I would have liked to have seen more of what caused the drastic changes in him. I also felt there were discrepancies from the previous book. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Unfolding Desires (Undone Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristy Love Page; Review: We finally get Roxie's story and it was worth the wait. I felt for Roxie and the things she'd been through and truly want her to be able to find happiness. We also get more of a glimpse with Cassie in this book, which I enjoyed. The setup towards the end of the book threw me a bit and I was left a little disappointed. While I greatly look forward to getting Mia's story, I felt like it overtook and left me with questions about Roxie and David. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sparrow; Author: Visit Amazon's Sara Mack Page; Review: This was the first I have read from this author and I am looking forward to reading more. The story is told from Kyle's POV and starts when he is away for the summer during high school. The book shows how fate can play a role in love and we may never even see it. I thought it was truly a sweet book but kept me guessing as what was yet to come. There was even a great twist that I did not see happening. I felt this story was more unique than others. It was a story of young love lost and reunited but had a lot more barriers. I look forward to reading Jen's story next. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cardinal; Author: Visit Amazon's Sara Mack Page; Review: This story is about a woman losing everything all at once and making a 'Cardinal' rule to only do what makes her happy. You cannot help but to feel for and fall in love with Jen and her story. This book could be read as a standalone, but know it will ruin a major twist in Sparrow. It picks up towards the end of Sparrow but the author does a good job of reminding you of Jen and what happened, without overlapping a lot of storyline. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wildest Dream: The Teach Me Series, Book 1; Author: Visit Amazon's RC Boldt Page; Review: The cover is gorgeous and I loved the description of the book. It is written in third person, which I often have difficulty reading in general. I loved Raine and especially Mac. I did have a bit of trouble at the beginning getting into the story, but by the end I couldn't wait to see what was to come. It felt like I was reading about a group of teenagers the way they acted but the characters seemed to grow as the story continued. I felt like Raine should have reflected more on having breast cancer then what she did. I look forward to reading more from this author and happy to see there is more in this series. * Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction * Received a copy in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hard to Handle: The Teach Me Series, Book 2; Author: Visit Amazon's RC Boldt Page; Review: This could be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the series in order. I enjoyed getting Lacey and Zach's stories. I almost felt like the back and forth between Lacey and Zach was a bit much in the middle, but the ending made up for it. It was nice how the other characters were factored in so we could follow their story as well. This is definitely a fun, light-hearted series. I would enjoy reading more from this author and the characters who's story has yet to be told. *Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction *Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Not Quite Clear (A Lowcountry Mystery) (Lowcountry Mysteries Book 5) - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Lyla Payne Page; Review: I love this series, especially to be this many books in and have the characters and storyline continue to grow and keep my interest. There were a few twists in this book I was not expecting, but the ending really got me and I cannot wait to find out more. It seems the author is getting better at grasping my interests with each book and I greatly look forward to to reading more from her.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Live Without Regret (A Touch of Fate); Author: Visit Amazon's K.L. Grayson Page; Review: First of all, K.L. writes THE MOST AMAZING book boyfriends. I love having these novellas that are showcasing characters that may not have room for a full length novel, yet. This book allowed Brittney to redeem herself. Turns out she really is not bad at all....when she is not involved with Tyson. And Connor, well you will just fall for him the instant you meet him. Truly hope their is more to come of their story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Live Me (Pieces of Broken) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Celeste Grande Page; Review: I have heard nothing but good things about Live Me and the author did not disappoint. I was amazed at the length of the novel, it allowed for more of the story to actually be told. This is a great read if you've ever tried to push others away and put up your barrier. You will get an outside look at how it affects the relationship and how easily things could be different. There were a few parts I didn't feel like Eva and Blake matched with her history, but overall I loved the characters.

Title: Alexa Crushed (Alexa Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's T. R. Cupak Page; Review: Starting this book, I thought it was just going to focus on a spoiled, daddy's girl but it was not that at all. All of that actually was showcasing how close Alexa was with her family and enforces the devastation that takes place. I think it is very possible that a lot of girls have had a crush on the boy next door and experienced some of what happened with Alexa and Ethan. I really like Devin, but after the bombshell Ethan dropped at the end I cannot wait to see what happens with him. ** Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. ** Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Shameless; Author: Visit Amazon's Lex Martin Page; Review: This is one of my favorite authors but she has truly out done herself with this book. If you read nothing else for this year, you must read this book. It is not as light and flirty as her other books but you cannot help but to fall in love with Brody and Kat, they will make you laugh, cry, and smile.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hide: The Black Letters Series Part One (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Brooke Page Page; Review: This is the first book I have read of this author and I really enjoyed it. The friendships and relationship that Jamie has established make for a very sweet and steamy read, while the secret from her past that interferes with her current life keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. I did have a bit of an issue with the fact that things happened while Jamie was still a minor and of dark nature, but not enough to stop reading. The ending made me thankful the next book is ready to go.

Title: Into the Tomorrows (Bleeding Hearts) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Whitney Barbetti Page; Review: I absolutely LOVE this author. Her words are beautiful and intriguing. Similar to her other books, she threw in a twist that completely caught me off guard and made me want to start the book over to see if I could pick it up. I am anxiously awaiting the next book to find out where Trista's journey takes her and hopefully find out more about Jude.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Midnight Lily; Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Sheridan Page; Review: This is the first I have read by this author and is a standalone. I was instantly captivated by the author's writing and way to pull me into the story line. She has a way of wording things so everyone could interpret this story in multiple ways. The characters are well defined and likable. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the ending but still mind blown. I cannot deny it was a very unique novel, especially if you are looking for something different. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this author/book thanks to receiving a copy in my Bookworm Box.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Art of Letting Go; Author: Visit Amazon's Anna Bloom Page; Review: This is the first book I have read by this author. If you like new adult / college based books that are sweet but have a little twist, this is definitely worth a read. At first I was very impressed when I seen how long the book is, that is rare. Then I started reading it and had a heck of a time making it a quarter of the way in. I almost stopped reading a few times but I had read enough to be intrigued to see where it would go. The book is based in the UK and is written to be Lilah's journal when she goes to college. It felt slow and like she was trying to document everything. The story felt like it wasn't really going any where BUT I am so glad I stuck with the book and finished it. By the end I completely feel in love with the characters story and am glad the next book is out because I NEED to find out what happens with each of them. ** I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. **; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Finding Me; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephanie Rose Page; Review: This can be read as a standalone. I am a huge fan of this series and love all of the characters. Owen and Bella were no different. I think I would have LOVED this book had I read it first. We were introduced to Bella when she was just a little girl and see her grow. In this book she is in college and meets Owen the hot hockey player. I almost felt a little dirty reading some scenes because I kept going back to the little Bella, not the grown up version.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rock the City (Midnight Fate) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Gia Riley Page; Review: I have to start by saying that I am a huge fan of this author and I love her writing. This story was great but I did not like the characters. I cannot say specifically what it was but I didn't care for Noelle in Rock the Boat and my opinion didn't change with her story. Lane was okay, just not the strong, swoony bbf I prefer. I was nice to have some follow up on Easton and Lark's story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The First Time is the Hardest: An Austin Brothers Novella (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's L A Cotton Page; Review: I am a huge fan of this author and she did not disappoint with this novella.

Title: Waiting for Grace; Author: Mrs Hayley Oakes; Review: This was the first book I have read of this author, then I seen it was her debut novel. It really was good and I look forward to reading more of her. It was written in a few different character POVs and both present and past. I felt that worked well, except in a spot that was written in third person (which was not bad, just unusual). It is a second chance with Grace and Robert that has a bit of suspense and some twists you do not really see. ** I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Silent Waters (The Element); Author: Brittainy C Cherry; Review: Honest to goodness I felt like this book literally crawled into my heart and took hold as I was reading it. This author is truly talented and draws you in instantly with her words. I read this book in one sitting! Maggie May and Brooks are just amazing and you cannot help but to fall in love with them, feel their pain, lonliness and their happiness. Another thing I found amazing with this book is that it covers a large time span, from childhood to adulthood, and yet I did not feel like I missed anything. I always want more of the story but everything felt connected, not overly done and no gaps leaving me with questions. This book is a complete standalone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Now That It's You; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawna Fenske Page; Review: First and foremost....If you are straight laced with no sense of humor, this book is probably not for you. However, if you have a unique, out of the ordinary way of coping, you'll love this book. Personally, I use humor a lot as my coping mechanism and loved this book. I felt it was refreshing to be able to connect with the characters. This author is one of my favorites. She is one of the few that writes in third person that I enjoy reading. I was drawn in to his story from the beginning. While it does deal with death and grieving, it is kept very light with humor. There were parts I was actually laughing out loud. I enjoyed Meg and adored Kyle (for most of the story), but I really felt Floyd stole the show and wins for my favorite. While I enjoyed this story, I did feel like the ending fizzled out at bit. Maybe I was just expected more but it seemed to fall flat for me. I would still recommend this read though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Awaken (The Lilituria Prophecy) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Grace White Page; Review: I am not a huge fan of PNR but I fell in love with this one. Daiya and her sisters have a unique back story but the paranormal aspect makes them that much more intriguing. The writing is gripping and held my attention from start to finish. The book is written in Daiya's POV and takes place during her high school years while she is living with her sisters. I found all of the main characters to be likable. I am excited to read more of Daiya's and Kai's story. * I received and ARC in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Neighbors (A Twin Estates Novel) (Volume 1); Author: Stylo Fantome; Review: This author has no problem pushing the boundaries with her writing, and I love it. She does so in a way that is intriguing and captivating. What I enjoyed most about this book is that I thought I knew what it was about and there was a twist that I did not expect that connects it. This book is written in third person, something I normally do not care for but I enjoyed it. I found Katya to be very likable. She is involved in a love triangle with Liam and Wulfric. I actually hated Wulf at first and was irritated with Katya showing interest but it was very interesting how she changed him. * Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tonic; Author: Visit Amazon's Staci Hart Page; Review: At the beginning of this book I was worried it just wasn't going to be for me. It is based around a tattoo shop being on a reality show, which I am not a fan of. Once I got to know more about Joel Anderson, I could not resist his charm. Even when he was not being his charming self, I still loved him. Annika was a decent character. She came across very cold and rigid at first but became more likeable once she started letting Joel in.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Love Letter to Whiskey; Author: Visit Amazon's Kandi Steiner Page; Review: WOW...this book....It left me with a serious book hangover, and it took me a week and a half to realize how bad it was. This is only my second book by this author, but she has gained a lifetime reader. Her words are truly beautiful. The metaphors she used in this book were absolutely amazing. Even better was the fact that she stayed consistent through out the book. There was never a point where they slacked off and I find that aspect very impressive. I adored Jamie from start to finish, everything about his character and I wanted nothing but happiness for him. If I'm being honest, I wanted to smack B. I liked her character but I did not like her actions and just wanted to yell at her. If you're looking for something with a bit of a different spin this is definitely the book to pick up and the story is so beautifully written.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: All the Rage; Author: Visit Amazon's T.M. Frazier Page; Review: I have to say this is my favorite book in the series to date. I have enjoyed all of the books and characters but Rage seemed to stand out to me. Rage is an incredibly strong and independent girl. I think it is rare to find a book with this type of heroine. This book can be read as a complete standalone and I do not feel there would be any real spoilers. There were a few really dark parts in the book as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Low Over High (The Over Duet) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's J.A. DeRouen Page; Review: Taking place during their senior year in high school, you can't help but love Marlo and Everett.

I loved Finn after reading First Taste and had hoped his book was next. It was worth the wait, he and Halston have some amazing chemistry together. The book was written in both of their POV which I was glad for, it allows the reader to see how they may miss things or over react.

This was a shorter read, it gripped me from the beginning and I did not want to put it down. I fell in love with Ryker from the very beginning and cannot wait to get to know the rest of the Cunningham brothers more. MaryAnn proved to be a strong character, maybe even surprising herself at times. It also had an edge of suspense that I loved. The book is written in their dual POV and contains some heavier issues. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Enduring Everything; Author: Visit Amazon's M. Sembera Page; Review: This was my first to read this author. This book is written in Ren's POV taking place in a smaller town, which I really enjoyed. Overall, I felt the main story-line was good and intriguing and I felt the ending was well written, allowing this book to be a possible standalone. The beginning of the story was a bit confusing and hard to follow. A lot of characters were introduced all at once and I had to go back and forth to keep up. I am actually still uncertain of a few characters. There were a few twists throughout but I was able to pick up on them. The main characters were in their 40s, which I feel is rare to find. However, I was not a fan of either of them, they presented to be very immature and even whiny at times. I enjoyed this book enough to continue on to see how the series progresses. ** Review for Kylie's Fiction Addiction.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Did You Know?: A collection of the most interesting facts, stories and triviaever! (Volume 1); Author: Cori Anne Weber; Review: As soon as I got the book, my husband grabbed it and started thumbing through it, reading some of the facts to me. It was something we were able to sit and laugh and talk about. My six year old joined in on discussing some of the topics. At one point we ended up watching our dog to see if one of the facts was correct, very interesting by the way. I think the greatest part was a majority of the facts listed are not something you would think to question so it really prompts you to think about it more. ** I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Ever Over After is written in both Marlo and Ever's POV, taking place years after Low Over High was set. I felt like Marlo was the more broken one now and I felt for her so much throughout. I loved Marlo's whitty humor but was kept on the edge of my seat waiting to see how situations would play out. It was neat seeing the characters from the other books as well. I do not feel there were any spoilers but liked that I had read Storms Over Secrets before this to have a bit more of the characters history. I would have liked to see more of what Ever went through during the years in between. I would love to see more from them both.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Neighborhood (A Twin Estates Novel) (Volume 2); Author: Stylo Fantome; Review: Written in third person, this book revisits Katya, Wulf, and Liam in their love triangle. I have to start of by saying that I loved book 1. The Neighbors was actually one of my top reads last year. However, this book seemed to fall short for me. I felt like it dragged on for most of the story and did not really go anywhere. At the beginning, it showed more of Wulf and I had a lot of empathy for him. This surprised me since I could not stand him in book 1. More into the book though and I felt all three of them deserved each other. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Torn Between Two (The Torn Duet) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Kayla Page; Review: I have been a fan of this author's writing for a while. I knew this book was a bit different for her and I was very pleasantly surprised. It is told in the main character, Samantha's, POV. She and her best friend Chloe were likable, young and free spirited. Hawke comes off as you would expect a typical rock-star, until Sam gets to know more about his past. Every time I start liking him though, he does something and I wish Sam would punch him and walk away. Josh is instantly likable and regardless what happens and who Sam chooses, I would love to see a happy ending for him. I thought the ending was great and I cannot wait to see what is yet to come in book 2!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Drowning; Author: Visit Amazon's Marni Mann Page; Review: This was my first to read of Marni but I am a huge fan of Gia's writing. I thought the collaboration was great. At times it was difficult to tell which author wrote which part because they were so seamless. This book is a complete standalone, written in dual POV from Clay and Andi. The two characters meet as they are both running, trying to hide, from something very different but almost equally destroying. I absolutely loved the suspense aspect at the beginning of this book. Not only was I questioning what had happened to get Clay in his situation, I was on the edge of my seat for what was to come. I did feel like it plateaued a little in the middle of the book and I started to lose interest but it picked back up. I would love to see more from some of the secondary characters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Choosing Forever (The Torn Duet) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Kayla Page; Review: This book picks up right where book one left off, continuing in Sam's POV. It is hard to say much about the book because I don't want to give a single thing away. Everything I felt for Sam, Josh, and Hawke only intensified and there were a few things I did not expect to happen that just blew me away. There were a couple of parts that I would have liked to have had more focus on but otherwise a great ending to this story and and wonderful read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sylvie; Author: Visit Amazon's K. Langston Page; Review: This author is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Her words are gripping, provoking emotion. This friends to lovers story was literally heart-warming for me. This book is written in Sylvie's POV, alternating between present and past scenes. I really enjoyed the layout, having past scenes integrated to provide just enough information to help lead into the present scenes. The main characters, Sylvie and Linc, are very likable and my opinion of them never wavered throughout the book. It should be noted there was a few darker scenes in this book. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lost In Between (Finding Me) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's KL Kreig Page; Review: This was the first book I've read by this author and I'm pleased to say it will not be the last. The book is written in dual POV between Willow and Shaw. The chemistry between the two is astounding. I have to admit it took me a while to warm up to Shaw. I'm not typically a huge fan of rich, playboy, CEO alpha types but oh did Shaw change my mind and by the end of this book I was not only routing for him but wanted so much more. I loved the mystery of what Willow's secret was. There was a major twist I did not see coming and cannot wait to see how it all plays out. I'd also love to see more of Noah, I really loved his charm. *Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Truth About Lennon; Author: Visit Amazon's K.L. Grayson Page; Review: ~ Single hot dad alert! ~ Must read!!! ~ Complete standalone I am a huge fan of this author's writing and this book did not disappoint. It is written in a dual POV between Lennon and Noah. I instantly adored Lennon, she is strong and feisty. At first appearance, Noah comes across as a bit of a jerk but I instantly fell for him once I realized that was his defense mechanism. He is a single dad and his chemistry with Lennon is sizzling. Lennon comes to town hiding from a secret and you're kept on your toes throughout waiting to find out what it is. * Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Butterfly Project; Author: Visit Amazon's Emma Scott Page; Review: This was the first I have read of this author, but have heard amazing things. **I should note, I do my best to go into most books blind. If I hear it's a good book/author I will give it a shot sometimes only knowing the genre, if that** When I started reading, I honestly wondered what I had gotten myself into reading. A character working on a dystopian graphic novel? Not really my thing but something about Zelda grabbed my attention and I went on and absolutely fell in love with the story. I loved the graphics that were included, sort of brought the story to life more. The book is written in dual POV from Zelda and Beckett. Both characters are rather lost and trying to find their way. They had instant chemistry and were very likable, especially Beckett-loved him. I loved the twists that were in this book. They were so emotional and not what I was expecting, but absolutely perfect. This book is a complete stand-alone. ** I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Something in the Way (Something in the Way Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Hawkins Page; Review: I felt like the vibe of this book was very unique and different, in a good way. I liked the innocence of the '90's and the sense of nostalgia I got from reading (which also makes me feel a bit old). This book is written in dual POV of Lake and Manning. Lake was instantly likable for me, I found her innocence refreshing. I wasn't too sure how to feel about Manning and the relationships he developed with Lake and Tiffany but by the end I had grown quite fond of him. I am not a fan of Tiffany and it made me sad how much Lake looks up to her. I was worried about the age gap being an issue but thought it worked out well. There was a twist I didn't see coming and LOVED the ending. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Trace Numbers, Ages 3 - 5 (Big Skills for Little Hands); Author: Brighter Child; Review: I have to say that I am rather disappointed in this.

Title: Trace Letters, Ages 3 - 5 (Big Skills for Little Hands); Author: Brighter Child; Review: I have to say that I am rather disappointed in this.

Title: Garden of Goodbyes; Author: Visit Amazon's Faith Andrews Page; Review: If you are looking for something different, this is it. I had the opportunity to read the book before the cover was reveal and I have to say,I was blown away when it was revealed. The cover fits this book perfectly. It is a dark love triangle with a twist. It is written in dual POV between Eden and Violet and alternates between past and present. I was intrigued with the dynamics of the relationships from the start and then with the history of what happened to them. While the story was dark and emotional throughout, the ending was beautiful. ** A copy of this book was received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Broken by Lies (Bound and Broken); Author: Visit Amazon's Rebecca Shea Page; Review: This was the first I have read of this author and I look forward to reading more of her work. This book is written in dual POV from Emilia and Alex, and a glimpse from Sam later in the book. I felt like Emilia's character was instantly likable. She was a small town girl with no one and nothing left who ventured out to find more, only to get hit with more heartache. Alex was quite charming with a bit of mystery to him. There were some good twists throughout the book, some I did not see coming. I did feel like the story was rushed a little I really enjoyed it and the author's writing is very captivating. I cannot wait to see where this story goes. ** I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bound by Lies (Bound and Broken); Author: Visit Amazon's Rebecca Shea Page; Review: Wow! I absolutely loved this book. This book picks up right where book one left off. It is written in Emilia and Sam's POV and we even get some chapters from Alex. I was hooked from the beginning of this book and on the edge of my seat until the end. I don't want to give too much away but I thought the plot twists were impeccable and the ending was beautiful and absolutely perfect. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Whispers and the Roars; Author: Visit Amazon's K Webster Page; Review: This was the first book I have read by this author. There are plenty of warnings about this book from the author, so don't read if you have any issues with....anything really. It is a complete standalone. This book is written in alternating POV from Kady, Yeo, and Bones. It is very dark and has some sensitive issues. I thought the author did a great job with the story line. I somewhat figured out the twist early on, but nothing to the extent of what it really was. The author really did do a great job. Despite the nature of the story and the darkness, I could not put the book down.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Confess: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: This is a complete standalone. This book is written in dual POV from Auburn and Owen. Auburn and Owen both have secrets that could change everything between each other and for their life in general. The entire premise of this book was simply stunning. I loved having the dual POV to showcase how everything not only happens for a reason but also comes full circle. The book was gripping from the start and held my attention through the end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: This Time Around; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawna Fenske Page; Review: This book is written in third person, not something I am a big fan of but this author does an amazing job at it and I love her writing. This book was no exception. This second chance romance was somewhat realistic, with quirky characters and sexual innuendos that kept me entertained throughout the book. I enjoyed all of the characters and their backstory. There were some heavy topics in this book but thanks to her captivating writing, they did not appear as much so. Paige and the cats were great additions to help lighten the book up as well. This book is a complete standalone. ** Copy received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Gravity of Us (The Elements Series) (Volume 4); Author: Brittainy C Cherry; Review: For a brief moment I actually thought I was going to get through this book without shedding too many tears....and then the ugly crying came. Like the other books in this series, the author does an amazing job roping you in with her words and not letting go. The story-line has such a unique twist to it, I could not put the book down. This book is written in Lucy and Graham's alternating POV. I was completely caught off guard by some of the twists in this book. I think part of it was waiting for a specific event to happen and focusing on that and the author threw in a curve-ball. I strongly urge you to not read may reviews before you read the book so you don't get any spoilers. This book is a complete standalone. * Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Revelry; Author: Visit Amazon's Kandi Steiner Page; Review: A complete standalone, written in Wren and Anderson's alternating POV. Wren is a fashion designer and Anderson is a handy man, both were lost for different reasons and just wanted to try and find themselves. They helped each other to heal and move on from the past. The story-line was steady but I felt like there was a lot of extra fluff and found myself skimming over a lot throughout the book.

Title: Betrayed by Lies (Bound and Broken series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Rebecca Shea Page; Review: This book is written in Sam and Kate's alternating POV. The Prologue recalls a traumatic event involving Sam from the previous book and then continues a year and half later. I believe this book could be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the others in this series to gain the background information and help you to appreciate all Sam has been through. I do need to mention, having read this series in order, I was a little confused with the epilogue of the previous book to ending of this book; some things in the story did not match up. The author's writing is intriguing and I loved the connection between Sam and Kate, I just felt like part of their story was missing and rushed through. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: From A Distance; Author: Visit Amazon's L.M. Carr Page; Review: This is the first book I have read by this author. It is a complete standalone, written in Karrie's POV. Karrie is a nurse that experiences a significant tragedy and bonds with the one person she least expects. I sort of felt like I read two different books, the beginning and the ending so different. The book started off a little chopping and was a bit slow for me in some parts. The writing was intriguing and grabbed my attention but I felt the the story was not really moving anywhere for a good portion. I was also very turned off by the ending, I just felt like it was a stretch, trying to make too much happen. ** Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction. ** Copy of this book received for my honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: All About the D; Author: Visit Amazon's Lex Martin Page; Review: I absolutely LOVED this book. This was my first to read of Leslie, but I am a huge fan of Lex. Their writing styles blended flawlessly. Honestly, I never imagined a story revolving around a blog for male genitalia could be so swoon-worthy. It was the perfect combination of sweet, steamy, and funny. The book is written in Evie and Josh's POV. I really thought Evie was going to be bashful and reserved, but she just needed help getting out of her shell. Josh comes from a prestigious family but is very laid back. The authors grabbed my attention and held it through the end. This book can be read as a complete standalone. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thirty Days: Part One: A SwipeDate Novella (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's BT Urruela Page; Review: This novella is written in Gavin's POV, an author struggling with depression and PTSD. Having enough of this, his friend dares him to sign up for a dating app and go on 30 dates in 30 days. I guess this book just was not what I was expecting it to be as I felt like it was just going through the motions. The fact that what has actually happened to Gavin is not fully disclosed and keeps you guessing, but otherwise I found it to be a bit dry.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: A Change In Tide (Northern Lights) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Freya Barker Page; Review: Overall a cute and sweet story. This book can be read as a complete standalone. It is written in alternating POV from Mia and Jared. Mia is a midwife suffering from agoraphobia, living her quiet life in seclusion in a cottage on the lake. Jared is a retired NHL player who makes a drastic change moving to the lake for his family. I thought their story and chemistry was very sweet and loved the way Jared was helping Mia right away without judging her. I found it interesting that this book is listed in an 'erotica' subcategory on Amazon. It was far from it in my opinion. It focuses a lot on the birth of a baby and breastfeeding (so if you have any issues with that I would steer clear). I also found it a bit off-putting when the POV changed to the other character, there was lot of backtracking.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Just a Little Junk; Author: Stylo Fantome; Review: This is a complete standalone, written in third person. This author is known for being a bit unconventional in her writing and this book did not disappoint in that area. It does have a warning of some dark humor, so if you have issues with that you may not want to venture in. However, I felt like it was a good, light read so I'm not sure what that says about me. Jodi has become good friends with her brother's friend, Archer who she has had a crush on for years. After an intense night of partying, they work together to figure out how a dead body ended up in her trunk and in turn end up revealing all kinds of secrets along the way. I thought the chemistry between the two was great and the story-line held my attention throughout the book. *** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Somebody Else's Sky (Something in the Way) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Hawkins Page; Review: This book takes place about a year after the previous book. It continues in Lake and Manning's POV. With the last book, I struggled a bit believing there was a true connection between Lake and Manning. I sort of felt he was using Lake as a replacement for Maddy but there was so much emotion brought forth in this book that you cannot deny the connection they share. I am pretty sure I held my breath through the entire last chapter. I would love to have Tiffany's POV. She is the type you just love to hate and I am not convinced she doesn't have ulterior motives. We also got more of Corbin in this book and I really adored him. I am very curious to see how everything works out in book three. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Found Underneath (Finding Me Duet) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's KL Kreig Page; Review: This book picks up right where book one left off, continuing in Willow and Shaw's POV. I had forgotten some of the events but thought the author did a great job integrating what happened enough to remind you without retelling the story. I loved that this book had more of a suspense edge to it. The chemistry and emotions between Willow and Shaw are amazing. You feel like you are experiencing everything right there with them. A great conclusion to this story. *** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fire in the Stars (Steel Souls) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Nikki Groom Page; Review: This book picks up right where the previous left off and continues in Sadie and Ramsey's POV. I had struggled a little with the first book but am glad I followed through because I enjoyed this one. There were a lot of secrets reveled and ended up having a scenario I did not see coming at all and something I've not read about but needs more awareness, so kudos on incorporating that. I'm not sure if the author has more books planned in this series, but was glad to see it was ended in a way that it could be continued. ** Early copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: #MomFail: 24 Authors & 24 Mom-Coms; Author: Shari J Ryan; Review: If ever there was a book written that I could relate to, it is this one. I think I can still top all of the mom fails but it was definitely an entertaining read and made me realize that I am not alone in my day to day struggles. While I'm not usually a big fan of anthologies, some of my favorite authors have included stories in this one so I couldn't pass it up. I also added a few authors to my list thanks to this one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alaska or Bust; Author: Visit Amazon's Rhonda James Page; Review: This was my first to read of this author and I would be interested in reading more from her. This book is dual POV, Gracie and Tucker. It starts out with a recap of the last four years for Tucker. The first few chapters alone caught me off guard and ripped my heart out, I wasn't expecting that. Gracie is nine years older than Tucker, though if I'm being honest she did not present herself as such to me. Both have experienced great loss and set off cross country to get on with their lives. Their encounter is cute and quirky with laughs throughout. The ending starts to get emotional again but overall a good read and a good message to live for today. ** Copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review. ** Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

You can't help but feel for her and all that she has to endure. If you enjoy reading about a character you love to hate, Justin is it. And Dash, well I just loved everything about him. I've not read any type of storm chaser book, so I thought that aspect was unique and intriguing.

Title: Ghosted; Author: Visit Amazon's J.M. Darhower Page; Review: This was my first to read from this author, but it will not be my last. The book is written in Kennedy and Johnathan's alternating POV with flashbacks written in third person, taken from Kennedy's journal. I found that neat and unique. I loved Maddie's character and felt that she added so much to this book. It was heart-warming and heart-breaking all at the same time and had a sweetness to it I don't see a lot This book is one of my favorite reads this year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Outskirts: The Outskirts Duet Book 1; Author: Visit Amazon's T.M. Frazier Page; Review: I often find this authors books difficult to review for the simple fact that she makes them unique and there are twists I want to make sure not to giveaways.

I was intrigued from start to finish and cannot wait to see how the story plays out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Birthquake; Author: Visit Amazon's B.L. Berry Page; Review: This is a complete standalone. We get a glimpse from Jeff's POV for the prologue and then it is continued in Henley's POV. I thought this book was a great combination of sweet and funny, with a little steamy mixed in. I loved that Jeff wasn't the typical alpha male but had more quirkiness, I found him to be very sweet. This book had a lot of actual laugh out loud moments and was even somewhat relatable throughout. Henley and Jeff are so adorable and an absolute perfect match. * Early copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lost in NYC; Author: Visit Amazon's Jade Eby Page; Review: This is a complete standalone, written in Mae's POV. This book follows a girl in her early twenty's as she gives up her cushiony life with money to follow her dreams in NYC. I enjoyed Mae's character and how she handled the fact that she continued after her dreams despite the hurdles she endured. This was different from most books I read as it had a variety of graphics showing text and social media updates as well as her blog entries. I thought the graphics were neat but also found them a little hard to read on my kindle. The book held my attention all the way through and I found her love interest, Cormac to be quite dreamy. ** An early copy of this book was received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: At the Heart of It; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawna Fenske Page; Review: This book is a complete standalone, written in third person. I loved the characters and the storyline.

The story was heart-warming but still had plenty to make you laugh.. * Early copy of this book provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Face You See: The Broken Series: Book 1; Author: Visit Amazon's Amelia Legend Page; Review: The prologue intrigued me to read this book. It was a bit confusing at first then I discovered it is written in Dannie, Reed, and Nick's alternating POV. It deals with some darker subject matter but I liked the fact that it didn't get too graphic or descriptive with those areas. I feel like maybe the author tried to cover too large of a time span, leaving a lot out. I have a lot of question and am curious how the next book will play out. ** Copy received in exchange for my honest review. ** Reviewed for Kylie's Fiction Addiction.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Face Beneath (The Broken Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Amelia Legend Page; Review: This book takes place four years after book one and continues in the same format. You can tell the author has grown in her writing and I look forward to future books. This book had a few more suspenseful moments and a very emotional moment that was very well done. It was nice to see Dannie be able to grow and heal from her experiences. I thought the beginning was a bit odd as it was parts pulled from the previous book but there was not repetitiveness when the POV changed like in book one.

Title: Rewrite; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephanie Rose Page; Review: This book is a complete standalone and written in dual POV with some flashbacks. I went in to this book expecting to love Josh's character, so I was surprised when Bri stole my heart right out of the gate. Josh and Bri are so sweet, strong willed, and broken but they are so perfect. After doing what he thought was right to make Brianna happy, Josh comes back and fights for her and what he believes they are and always have been. There was a twist I did not see coming but made the story that much more. I am sad their story is all wrapped up but I thought it was put together wonderfully and ended beautifully.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Move the Stars (Something in the Way) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Hawkins Page; Review: This book takes place four years after book 2 and continues in Lake and Manning's POV. I have had conflicting emotions with this series from the beginning. The author does an amazing job with her words wrapping you into the storyline. She has been toeing a fine line of a rather taboo issue but never truly crossed it and that has kept me intrigued. I really like Lake's character, she has had a unique innocence to her and always been somewhat naive, it was nice to see her later and growing into herself. Manning's character was always attractive, though I've not cared for the decisions he has made throughout, even if I do understand his reasoning. I believe his character is what has left me most conflicted. I liked him even when I was irritated with his actions. Tiffany is one that you can't help but hate and that has not changed here. As soon as I felt bad for her, she showed her true colors again. I must admit though, I would possibly be interested in more from her. I really felt like the ending made the book, and the series for that matter. It was simple, yet perfect. * Early copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forever Right Now; Author: Visit Amazon's Emma Scott Page; Review: This book can be read as a standalone. It is written in Darlene and Sawyer's POV. I instantly loved Darlene's character. Despite fighting her own inner battle, she was a breath of fresh air and very likeable from the start. Sawyer is a single dad that comes across as gruff just for the simple fact he tries to conceal his feelings and not allow any one in. I loved how the author brought two very different characters together and allowed them to learn from one another and help each other heal. She shows that not everything can be black and white and you cannot allow yourself to only look at the negative aspect of situations. * Early copy of this book provided in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Being blown off, yet again, Angie goes out with her sister and is introduced to the tattooed bad boy that is Cade Ryder.

Title: Behind the Bars; Author: Brittainy C Cherry; Review: This book can be read as a complete standalone. It is written in Jasmine and Elliott's POV. As with the other books by this author, I really enjoyed the overall message she conveys through her writing. Unfortunately this book did not hold my attention well. The flow seemed rather slow for me. It starts with them in high school and follows five years later. Jasmine's mother is more focused on getting her daughter fame, rather than learning about her and what she truly wants. Elliott is just trying to get through school and finds his escape through music.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Trust; Author: Visit Amazon's Kylie Scott Page; Review: This author has been on my list for a while, but this was my first book of hers and I loved it! I go in to books blind and for some reason, thought this would be a bit fluffy. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a bit gritty and angsty. It is written in Edie's POV. I instantly liked her character. She seems so down to earth and it was amazing to see how she recovered. I thought John was very likable from the start as well, though there was a few times I thought he was going to turn out to be different. The ending is what really got me with this book. Showing how Edie had grown and saw things was amazing and kept me reading on the edge of my seat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dead Man Talking: A Cozy Paranormal Mystery (The Happily Everlasting Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jana DeLeon Page; Review: This is one of my favorite authors and I love that I can count on her for a good light-hearted read. I really liked Zoe and her eccentric aunt Sapphire. I am excited to see how this series continues with other authors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deadly Summer (Darling Investigations); Author: Visit Amazon's Denise Grover Swank Page; Review: This author is so talented in all that she does. I thought this book was a great start to what I feel will be yet another amazing series. The book is written in Summer's POV. She is a washed up teen actress now struggling to save her family's farm without their knowledge. She ends up playing the part in a "reality show" back in her home town. I am not one for reality television but loved the plot for the book. Summer's character was instantly likable, as was the rest of her family. I cannot wait to see what is yet to come.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Begin Again: An Anthology; Author: A.M. Johnson; Review: I have given up on anthologies but so many of my favorite authors contributed to this I had to give it a chance and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was a great mix of authors with great stories and I was fortunate to be able to add a few more to my TBR. It was wonderful how different the stories were, yet they all showed examples of how people felt down and as if there was no hope left and still found a way to move on. Life is different for everyone and it takes all kinds of events to put us at rock bottom. The message overall is that there is always hope. This is not only a great read but for an amazing cause. I highly recommend checking it out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The List; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawna Fenske Page; Review: I am a fan of this author and I can honestly say that I think this is her hottest book to-date! This is written in Cassie and Simon's alternating POV and can be read as a complete standalone. Simon is computer tech who happens to be incredibly rich. Cassie is a soil scientist who has no intentions of getting into a relationship. When she has to plan her sister's bachelorette party, she has to accomplish the list of crazy sex stories she has told over the years. I thought it was hot and swoony all together.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seek; Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Sheridan Page; Review: I was intrigued with this book from the beginning but felt it lost it's edge towards the end. It is a complete standalone, written in Olivia and Thomas's POV. There was a rather sensitive issue I didn't care for but was glad the author did not go further in to the scene. Thomas was dark and mysterious which instantly made me want to learn more about it. I thought the author put a great twist in the book for Olivia.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lake + Manning (Something in the Way) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Hawkins Page; Review: I was content after the last book but excited, maybe even a bit scared for my emotions, once I heard there was an additional book coming. This book is told in Lake's POV and follows her and Manning through different stages/major life events later in life. I absolutely love this author's writing but felt the story itself fell short for my expectations. It did not pull the strong emotions the rest of the series did but rather just walked through their journey. It also showed how Tiffany, Val, and Corbin all ended up later in life.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reckless; Author: Visit Amazon's Lex Martin Page; Review: I love everything by this author but this one was amazing. It can be read as a standalone. Written in Tori and Ethan's alternating POV. This was such an emotional yet heart-warming reading. You can't help but to fall in love with these two and want more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Test; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawna Fenske Page; Review: This book is written in Dax and Lisa's alternating POV and can be read as a standalone. I know Lisa's personality was starting to change after her fiancee left her, but having read the first book I didn't really think this one showed how bad she was. I love the lightness that Junie brings to the series and seeing Cassie and Simon a bit in this book as well. While this book did have some steam and a bit of humor, I didn't feel the connection with Dax and Lisa. There were times I almost felt that this book was too high class for me and I wasn't able to follow. This is an author I really enjoy but sadly, this book just wasn't right for me.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Miss February (The Calendar Girls Duet) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Cimms Page; Review: This book is told in Rain and Chase's alternating POV. Rain is a single mom that has struggled on her own but welcomes some attention when Preston gives it to her. Preston is one that just gets under your skin and makes you want to yell. When Rain finally has enough she meets Chase who has recently had a rocky relationship but they are good together. Until they're not. The ending completely broke my heart and I cannot wait to see what happens next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Of Ash and Spirit: Of Ash and Spirit Trilogy Book One (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's D.G. Swank Page; Review: This is one of my favorite authors and I have been so excited to for this spin-off series. This book is written in Piper's POV. After losing her parents, she is raised by her wealthy grandmother but does not feel destined to proceed with the path that she thought was intended for her. I loved Piper's character but sadly for me, I felt this book seemed a bit slow moving. While I understand Piper had a lot to go through and adjust to, I almost felt like the change in her personality was a bit too drastic from beginning to end. I am looking forward to see how the rest of the series ties in to TCK series.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Wait With Me; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy Daws Page; Review: After all the hype and humor behind this book, how could one not read it?! It is told in Kate and Miles' alternating POV. There were parts at the beginning that had me literally laughing out loud, and may have even been funnier because of the author's IG stories. The humor seems to fizzle out a bit for me but I still enjoyed the overall story and the unique spin that was put on it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Girl, Wash Your; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Hollis Page; Review: This is NOT the type of book I would normally read. In fact, self-help type books bore me to bits. I have been hearing so much positive about this book though, I had to give it a try and Im so glad I did. Im already wanting to reread it. I follow Rachel on here and love her personality. I could actually hear her voice as I was reading, which I loved because it was like she was sitting here telling me all of this. I was able to resonate with a good portion of this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Liv (Signature Sweethearts); Author: Visit Amazon's Kelsie Rae Page; Review: The book is written in Liv and Luke's POV. The writing was intriguing and held my attention through a good portion of the book. Luke's sections mostly just consisted of summarizing how he felt through what previously happened, so that was a bit of a turn off. The story itself was a unique one and something that is hard to judge Liv's actions when I could not imagine being in her situation. I tried to keep that in mind as I read but still felt there should have been more emotion shown from her. I would definitely be interested in reading more from this author as continues to grow her writing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: My One Regret; Author: Visit Amazon's Claudia Burgoa Page; Review: A standalone, written in Kaden and Sadie's alternating POV. The emotions instantly grabbed my attention and pulled me into the story but I felt like it tapered about a third of the way in. In the beginning the timeline jumped around a lot for me, though I could see the reasoning for it afterwards. Overall, a good story and I would like to read more from this author.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Museum of Mysteries: A Cassiopeia Vitt Adventure; Author: Visit Amazon's Steve Berry Page; Review: This was my first to read from either author. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book and if I'm being honest, I did not feel it read as a complete standalone to start off with. It takes place in France and that may have added to some of the difficulty for me. I felt a little lost trying to get into the story and figuring out what was going on. Overall, I ended up enjoying this book and found it quite interesting. It actually left me wanting to read more about the different ancient potions.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

I have noticed, the closer I get to 00 Gauge, the worse I think of the quality. The CBR's are loose but they emailed me saying that's correct.

Title: Club Hotel Dolphin; City: Waikkal Central Province; Review: We stayed in the hotel for 10 nights in July. The experience is very pleasant. Food is good with lots of choices in the main buffet restaurant. The air condition room with the desserts is a fantastic design which is practical and a fantastic display of fruits and sweets. Our room is 100 (supposed to be sea view superior) and is located just beside the beach front villas. The view is breathtaking, overlooking the sea front with the glorious sunset-great for photography. All hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful, especially a big thank you to Fernando in the main restaurant and our room boy, Saman who kept our room comfortable and very tidy. The only slight issue is the hotel wifi in the room-a bit unreliable but it works perfect in the restaurant and by the main pool. Also, it would be handy if box of tissues can be provided in room. Overall, we definitely recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Amazon Ecopark Jungle Lodge; City: Manaus Amazon River State of Amazonas; Review: We spent 3 nights in Ecopark in mid october. The weather was fantastic still in the dry season, very hot and humid. We stayed in the superior accommodation,clean ,comfortable and air condition only packed up once(which they fixed it in half an hour) 😆. The whole resort is well maintained with wild birds, lizards, a sloth and lots of exotic plants. We did not try the natural pool but others were relaxing in the area. We did all 6 mini tours. They are usually 1 to 2 hours duration like fishing piranhas, monkey island etc. During the meeting of waters day trip - one thing to take notice is that there was an hour of jungle walk after lunch. Please wear sensible walking shoes to avoid misery. Our English speaking tour guide is Ozimar-he is charming and have good local knowledge, deserved to have a 'Six star award'. Food is OK, mostly buffet style. Drinks, not included are reasonably priced. There is always cold drinking water available in the restaurant during meal time. The hotel staff are polite and helpful. The resort management mentioned they aim to get more english speaking staff. Overall, we have enjoyed our stay in Ecopark lodge.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Riu Guanacaste; City: Playa Matapalo Province of Guanacaste; Review: We spent 7 days in this resort, flying from London. After 11 flight hours, the journey from Liberia airport to Riu Guanacaste was about 45 minutes. Check in was quickly done even though there was a whole coach of Thomson tourists. We were given the room on 3rd floor with side sea view and overlooked the middle courtyard. Though we could hear the music in the pool area and nightly in theatre, we never stayed long enough to notice the noise or we slept through with the balcony door closed. Hotel food is OK in the buffet restaurant. We had lots of interesting dishes to try with one seafood night and 2 nights of outdoor BBQ. Speciality restaurants look tempting but not worth queuing up in the heat at 6 o' clock. We did not bother at the end. Restaurant staff are very hardworking, cheerful and polite.... so 6 stars for their dedications and efforts. There is a lot of wildlife - birds, monkeys and iguana found along the beach area towards 'Monky's bar' where the feeding of monkeys is around 6:30 every morning. The beach has volcanic sand which we knew about before we came. It has some rocky parts but once you are in the warm sea, it is quite sandy(dark!). We did not snorkel off the beach but there were quite a lot of people who snorkeled. The visibility of underwater seemed to be poor due to the sandy bottom. There are lots of fishes which fed off your hand. Quite fun. Also, in one of those wet days, we paid a visit to Diamante Eco adventure park, next door to the hotel. Guaranteed you get good pictures of toucan, cute sloths and colouful butterflies.....maybe zip lining too. The hotel room is clean. Fridge has soft drinks, beer and room optics of gin, vodka etc, quite handy for booze if you are not fussy about brands. The only unsatisfaction in our 7 days in the hotel were the staff in pool bar, kind of lack in service and ignored customers who have been waiting for their attention. Never mind! When we were in the resort, we had some 'wet' moment but rain did not last long, 10 minutes and dry again. Apart from the first day of our holiday that was drizzling in the afternoon, we managed quite a good tan with 3 dry days while we did 2 excursions for 2 days. Be careful with mosquitoes in the wet season. We had lots of insect repellent but they always found a patch without deet, then got bitten again. Finally, Wifi worked in our room if we sat close to the balcony else take your mobile to the lobby or main restaurant, should be OK to read emails. Overall, the hotel is good value for money. We would definitely recommend this resort. Will be back to Costa Rica in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: El Tambo; City: Lima Lima Region; Review: We stayed in this hotel in 3 occasions during our 15 day tour in Peru. Each time, we were allocated with rooms in different parts of the building - one side has a lift while the restaurant side of the building has stairs only, which is not easy with heavy suitcases. The room size is generally compact especially the bathroom but always clean. Breakfast is continental, with fresh juice, fruits and hot food includes susages, scrambled eggs etc. The restaurant also serves evening meals if you do not fancy eating out. The menu is in spanish only. The hotel location is on the quiet side of Mira Flores. It is walkable distance to the seafront and about 15 minutes to the busy side of the town as well as the Inca market (for souvenirs). Staff is always helpful. Overall, this is a good 3 star hotel, recommended for short stay in Lima.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Veranda Lodge; City: Hua Hin Prachuap Khiri Khan Province; Review: We stayed in seaview bungalow(room 702) for 8 days. Every morning, we wake up to the amazing sunrise that glows in the glittering sea. The hotel complex is rustic and works well with the nature and wildlife - butterflies, exotic birds, plus pond with frogs and fish. Interesting. Easy access to the beach, just a few steps away. There are hawkers selling food, clothing on the beach front (except Wednesday) but they are friendly bunch. The room is always clean, the same to the rest of the hotel. Staff always smile and work hard - 5 stars! There is a kettle in the room with tea & coffee facilities, lots of cold bottled water in a fridge. Other useful items such as small washing rack, flip flops, umbrellas, dressing gowns can all be found in the room. Breakfast is in the seafront restaurant with a few choices in the menu to select. The portions may be a bit small but you can help yourself to toasts, croissant , fruit etc. This hotel is small, located in the premium position of Hua Him beach, only 20 minutes easy walking to the City Night Market and town's night life. There are plenty of hostels/b&b, restaurants, self service laundry and supermarkets nearby. Quite convenient for all holiday needs. The only improvement for the Hotel is to give the external furniture new coat of vanish. This will improve the appeal of Veranda Lodge even further. Overall, highly recommended! Report; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sentido Orka Lotus Beach; City: Icmeler Marmaris District Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: We just returned from our 10 days in this hotel. Our room was in Block 2 top floor, close to Icon beach and Italian restaurant. The view from our balcony was one of the best with a spectacular sunrise each morning. Through the glass wall of the balcony, we can relax in our bed, watched the distant landscape and boats sailed by. What a view! Food in the main buffet restaurant has lots of choices. In the evening, we avoided the main rush in the restaurant by turning up after 8:30. Each night, there is barbecue with chicken, Lamb, kebab etc. If nothing suits your taste bud, there is always French fries, chicken nuggets and pizza. Dessert is plentiful as well as big selections of fruits and ice-cream. Breakfast is also very good with fresh orange juice. You can easily build your own 'Big-boy breakfast' with such massive selections. Restaurant staff works very hard to clear tables, still polite with smile. Well done. During our stay, we saw many small fish near jetty, butterflies, dragonflies, hawk moths and squirrels in the trees and shrubs around hotel area. The walkway near the beach will take you all the way into Icmeler. The beach is long with dark sand. Water is calm most days but the first row of sunbeds closest to sea always have towels on them by 7:30. Sunbeds are quite close together - the other hotels in the area are the same too. Our room was cleaned daily. Fridge restocked. The only improvement is to have better room lighting - in the evening, the room is quite dark. On the last day of our stay, thunder storm warning was in place and balcony chairs/table were put back into the room. When the storm finally arrived, there was quite a few powercuts which only lasted for less than a minute but the lift was out of service. When we left, the lift of block 2 was not working. We are definitely pleased with the hotel and room location. Highly recommended for room with sea view!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I followed the instructions provided by CG in their YouTube channel (this was my first time ever doing a paint correction), and it was almost too easy to do it right.

Title: ABN Clay Bar Mitt Fine Grade Towel Mitt Detailing Clay Bar Cloth; Brand: ABN; Review: Disclaimer: I have not clayed my car ever before using this, so I don't have a comparison With that in mind..... Wow! My paint was exceptionally rough - the owner claimed it had been detailed before I bought it a couple months ago, but the paint was absolutely loaded with contaminants. I used Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine to make a clay lube/quick detailer spray and went to work. I couldn't believe how fast it made the paint perfectly smooth. I used a lot of spray and that seemed critical, because I don't think this holds onto contaminants the way a clay bar does. The liquid turned dingy and dried that way as I was working, but I hit that dirt with the quick detailer and microfiber and the end result was smooth like when I used to run 2-3 coats of cleaner wax back before I learned about clay. I was a little hesitant because of the price, but it's worth every penny.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Optimum (NR2010Q) No Rinse Wash & Shine - 32 oz.; Brand: Optimum; Review: Haven't used it to actually wash the car yet, but I've used it according to directions as a clay bar lube/quick detailer and even if it wasn't perfect for washing the car (I don't see why it wouldn't be), the value just for that use is incredible compared to purchasing pre-mixed solutions. I used this with a clay bar towel and the results were fast and fantastic. I only learned of this product because of reviews on clay bars, and now I know why everyone was talking about it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Denso 234-9009 Oxygen Sensor; Brand: Denso; Review: Just put this on my sister's RX300... what a pain.

I've had good luck with centric rotors in the past, but these are already pulsing pretty badly (it's been a little more than a month), so they probably have hard spots from the factory, because they started out nice and smooth. While i could get them turned, I'll probably just scrap them and try a different set.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: BMW E-90 Trunk Strut Set Left+Right (x2) OEM STABILUS; Brand: Stabilus; Review: My trunk struts have been dead since I bought my 330xi. I finally bought these, installed them in just a few minutes, and the trunk is great now. It takes a little bit of a "toss" to close it, but nothing unreasonable, and it pops up with the lightest lift now.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Automotive |

Title: Villa del Palmar Beach Resort Spa Los Cabos; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: As we were looking forward to our junior suite with an ocean view (as confirmed), we were stuck in the basement with NO sunlight and next to the service station. We went back to reception requesting an upgrade and was given the turnaround 4 times asking us to keep checking back. We're not timeshare members (thank god) but even they too were complaining about their view-less rooms. Service was nonetheless, horrible - by U.S standards but albeit typical by Mexican standards. We were finally given a studio (considered to be a downgrade) with an ocean view but was almost given away right in front of our eyes to a member. Word of advice-keep checking back every hour on the status of your upgrade. We ate breakfast at the hotel which was reasonable and ate at local joints most of the time. We also experienced severe food posioning and met at least 5 others who experienced the same. Confirming other reviews, the beds were awful...a mattress ontop of a cement block. The refrigerator was loud, the acoustics in the main building are horrible, so ask NOT to be in that building. There is no way we're heading back to Villa de Palmar unless we want to sleep on cement blocks, hound by sales people (do not believe a word they tell you) and honestly, i'd rather pay full price rather than sitting through a sales presentation. Also, the beach is nice but once you cross the ropes, you'll be bombarded by locals trying to sell you crafts. If you're considering Cabo, try Riu or Palmilla. But if not, go to Hawaii.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Candy Cane Inn; City: Anaheim California; Review: We are still at the Inn and leaving tomorrow. i wish we could extend our stay! We used to stay at the grand Calif but was talked into staying here by friends who swear by this place. I was skeptical at first ( even almost cancelled to book at the grand) but promised that I'd give it a shot. Candy cane is amazing. The staff (esp James) were accommodating as were the drivers. Breakfast was good and not sure why some reviews were complaining. They offer fresh fruit,yogurt,bagels etc...all which one usually eats in the morning. The rooms were clean and house cleaning was spot on. We didn't watch tv one bit but who cares that they weren't flat screen. The walk to Disney wasn't bad but we did take advantage of the shuttle which was very precise. The two things that left a negative impression were 1) when I asked the front desk late at night (around 10) where I could trash leftover food (all bagged up), he reluctantly took it ( intended to trash it myself) and 2) the couple next door smoke a lot and they keep smoking right outside their doorway knowing there a kids running outside. Im not aware of their smoking policy but there should be designated areas. All in all, beyond fantastic stay and I can say that we will no longer be staying at the grand! BTW, we had no internet issues.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clear Lake Cottages Marina; City: Clearlake Lake County California; Review: Our family has been coming up to Clear Lake for over 40 years. We stayed at this "resort" several years ago and it was filthy. When we heard this place was under new management, all 8 families decided to give it a try, but not without someone driving up to make sure it was legit. We pulled into the resort and was afraid to even go to the front desk having had a horrific experience before. I walked in and was greeted by one of the most plesant receptionist. The owner was there and showed us to our room, which, by the way was AMAZING. we stayed at the cottage overlooking the water. Everything was redone with new floors, bedding, and most importantly, a fully stocked kitchen. The pool was CRYSTAL clear and they even provide beach towels that were replenished hourly. Ice cold lemonade and ice tea were a nice touch as well. Coming from the Bay Area, we know what we're getting into when we "vacation" to Clear Lake. Sure it's a quiet and to some, a depressing town, but its also has its charm. We didn't venture out of the resort and spent most of the time by the pool. We don't go up for to wander around town but moreso to hang out around the pool with the kids or play in the grassy area. Some say the aglae is a turnoff but it's not the resorts fault. They don't control the wind direction and can only do so much. It's mother nature and if the owners can do something about it, they would. We did see a pontoon boat come by numerous times to break it up which seemed to help. Once the breeze kicks in, there's a noticeable difference. There are definetly lots of bugs up there but again, it's mother nature. I didn't get bit once and it's really just those annoying rice flies and knats. I did notice that turning off the outside lights help quite a bit. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant trip. I cant say enough nice things about the staff, especially Ruth and Jessica who bend over backwards. If they can control the bugs and algae, then this miracle resort would be outrageously outstanding but hey, i can live with it for a week.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harbor View Inn; City: Santa Barbara California; Review: Everything that could go wrong went wrong. After booking a room for nearly $390 a night we were looking forward to a relaxing trip and expecting excellent customer service. Nonexistent. It just gets worse if you can imagine it. Major security breach occurred when the front desk gave us a room key that was being occupied and imagine the faces of the occupants (and us) when we opened the door. Everyone has bad days and I get it but to have sequentially a bucket list is ridiculous. I will say that the rooms are nice and beds are comfortable but it all starts with the front desk. If they can rally the staff to reflect the Inn, they could be five stars.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Candy Cane Inn; City: Anaheim California; Review: Simply the best. Hands down. We haven't stayed here in a couple years and usually stay at the Grand. The Grand California is OK but the Candy Cane is beyond better. Not only are the rooms impeccable but it's spacious, beds are actually comfortable, ample parking, breakfast and only a 8min walk to the gates. And, there's a free shuttle which we used after a long day. The staff is pleasant although I think the lady who checked us in was having an off day - no greeting, barely cracked a smile and seemed as if she couldn't be bothered.. But everyone is entitled to that. Prior to our visit I have called the CC a few times with questions and they were super nice and helpful. We can't wait to stay there again. And again. And again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Kahala Hotel Resort; City: Honolulu Oahu Hawaii; Review: Our family of three (child 7 yrs) stayed 4 nights. Grounds were immaculate as were the rooms. Loved staying in the Dolphin Lagoon Wing as we were less than a minute to the beach and no need to take the elevator. We loved siting at the bar for breakfast each morning for coffee and light fare. We aren't fans if buffets so I can't comment on the food. The rooms are gorgeous. Bathrooms we're beyond gorgeous and very thoughtfully done. Beds we're extraordinarily comfortable. The beach was beyond perfect. I would ditch the intertube as it's easy to lose control of it as the current gets strong. Looks can be deceiving. ..we saw a parent unable to control their kids in it and told them to let it go. The spa was great! Work with Spring as she won't steer you wrong. I had an issue and it was easily resolved. The specialists are incredibly nice but be sure that you're satisfied. Ask for Spring! We got our food from Whole Foods. Not ideal but it was close and convenient. Lastly, they do pay more attention to Japanese guests but we enjoyed the grounds so much that it didn't bother us. We waited for a while for our room (they told us the valet was getting our luggage) but noticed three Japanese families checking in after us got quicker attention hence into their rooms faster. We asked if we can have our key without waiting for the bellman or valet. Never once were we greeted when we walked into the lobby or offered water, like they did to others. As I mentioned, the grounds and rooms were so immaculate that we really didn't care if we were greeted. It was just something we noticed and laughed at. Another family noticed it as well. Our daughter loved dolphin quest and would do it over and over. Worth the stay and can't wait to go back whether I'm greeted or not.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort Spa; City: Poipu Kauai Hawaii; Review: We spent 6 nights and had a fantastic time. When we checked into our room we noticed that the trash bins were not emptied. As we were showering, we noticed there were no amenities. Great room but it definitely was not guest ready. After a few asks for turndown service, we never got one. Aside from the lack of house keeping the hotel is gorgeous. Loved the pools and water slides. Shipwrecks isn't for the novice so don't think you can just jump into the water. These currents are no joke. We spent our time poolside and was fortunate to come during low season. Very quiet and never had an issue getting chairs at any point during the day. The recreation desk could be nicer and more accommodating . Some are just rude. Poolside service is good. Wish they had more food options as the menu can get quite boring. We stayed by the pool and took us less than 30 seconds to the slide. Gym was adequate and good classes! Can't wait to return and hope housekeeping gets their act together.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: South Park Hotel; City: Croydon Greater London England; Review: Although the staff is always extremely busy and tied up with chores but at the end I found them wilful to help. Of course the hotel was going through the process of renovation and there was disturbance to a degree in movement but staff tried to assist and accommodate the guests requests as much as they possibly could. No one is exceptional and I give some room of mistake here and there. Some areas to consider by the management; 1) frequent visits to the kitchen by the staff, perhaps increase number of people in the morning and evening hours. 2) introduce some variety in breakfast.. perhaps chicken boneless in the friedge to be cooked or spring rolls etc. 3) change the juice supplier with a better one.. I think cost will remain the same anyway. 4) I have already stated to the hotel to make arrangement for vegetarians and non vegetarians (perhaps halal and non halal) in the kitchen in terms of food and utensils.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Medinaceli; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: I managed to grab a deal of this hotel for couple of nights through agoda.com Hotel itself it at a very convenient location, not very much clean, beds are just alright as well. You would expect staff be friendly and helpful but that wasn't the case unfortunately. Air conditioning wasn't working and couldn't be fixed throughout the month of April. As a result it was too warm to sleep at night.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mirage Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western; City: Milan Lombardy; Review: Hotel is at quite a distance from city centre. Although its only 10min walk to the tram or underground but total journey was around 20min or so through tram. Also, I don't think it's cost efficient to take tram every day to the city centre unless you have already got a Milano card for 24hrs or more which allows you multiple journeys. Hotel itself was clean, basic breakfast which never changes in 4 days (same menu) and reception is 24hrs. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It depends on what one is paying for the stay but I think one was more of inconvenience to travel that far back to hotel from the city every evening (day end).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Islamabad Serena Hotel; City: Islamabad Islamabad Capital Territory; Review: I had been to Islamabad on a business trip and was hosted in this hotel.. an absolute amazing experience with the tune of professionalism from the staff, choice of on-site restaurants, breakfast options and free service for airport pick and drop. The hotel has a bakery which we decided to had a cake taken away, well done. Last but not least, the hotel shows no compromise to the security of its guests but the police officers outside the hotel (not belong to the hotel security but to manage the VIPs movement) on the main street are seen not doing their job well.. no surprise to us.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

They're very soft and comfortable, and not see-through from what I can tell. I was torn between sizes so I went up, so that may help. They are very high waisted- on me they sit right under my bra line, which is fine with me. I prefer that to having it "cut" my midsection by giving me an unflattering line. I also like where they hit on my legs. Other capri leggings I've purchased have been too long on my short legs. Every time I wear these, I love them even more. I will probably purchase more!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Minnetonka Women's Cally Slipper Moccasin; Brand: Minnetonka; Review: I love these slippers. They look really cute and make me happy when I look at my feet! I like that they're structured like a shoe and offer a bit of support. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 shoe, so I originally ordered an 8 but it was way too big. Wouldn't even stay on my foot. So I returned them and ordered a 7. At first, they were pretty tight and after a day of wearing them, my heels actually hurt like when you're breaking in a new shoe. But they stretched out a bit and now they are the perfect fit! I do have to re-tie the bow frequently. When I first got these, my toddler untied them and I wonder if they wouldn't come undone as often if he hadn't done that initially. They came tied really nicely and seemed to stay together well. Regardless, I love these and wear them all day long in the house.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Not only did they look great with every outfit, they were so comfortable! At the end of the day, my feet were a little sore when standing still, but I think they would have been no matter what shoes I wore. I didn't have any pain while walking and no lingering pain when I took them off. I am very pleased with these! The color is perfect too. They have looked great with every outfit I've paired them with- they're so versatile. They have even gotten a little wet from puddles and drizzle and they still look perfect. I was worried that water would leave spots, but they look great still!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |
