Title: Sophie & Carter; Author: Visit Amazon's Chelsea Fine Page; Review: This book was totally sweet and was perfect. I didn't find anything wrong with it. It had great depth and I felt a connection with the characters. Sophie & Carter is an amazingly realistic story about best friends that feel each other's pain and see their hurt but love them still.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Finding Kate Huntley; Author: Theresa Ragan; Review: book was good, I like the whole story plot, but when I looked at the free books, they didn't have any teen books(i am an eleven year oldthat last year was at a ninth +grade for reading) and I figured it would be appropriate, and for me a little bit of cussing is ok, but even the character "with no bad bones in his body" was effing off at you. there were also very inappropriate parts, not going to even talk about those. If you don't mind any of those things or other bizzare instinces (such as a naked girl in high heels with a whip) this book is very good. Hope I helped you on your desision.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1) 1st (first) edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Rick Riordan Page; Review: I love this book, this whole series actually, but I would really want to read a series that is basically the same things happening, but to see it in Annabeth's perspective, and to see how she felt about things. I'm not saying that this is a bad book, not at all. It is myfavorite series. That is just a suggestion. Read this book!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Matched; Author: Allyson Braithwaite Condie; Review: I had heard so much about this book, and honestly thought it would be great. I was very disappointed in what I actually read. The way it is written doesn't help me sympathize with Cassia and Ky, in fact, it made them seem like the 'bad guys' of the book. I read the whole book, wondering if she would let Ky go and make the right choice. She didn't, and furthermore, I was not convinced of how 'in love' she was with Ky, or of how 'evil' the Society was. I thought it would be a nice way to live, having no murders and knowing when you should die. I ended up feeling like Cassia was making a wrong choice, and was being horrible to her best friend and Match, Xander. I did not feel sympathetic to Ky, not did I understand exactly why Cassia wanted him. It's like trying to be sympathetic to a prisoner who had no reason nor feels guilt. I was not happy with this book.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Dying to Forget (The Station) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Trish Marie Dawson Page; Review: Thise book was very enjoyable to read, and caught your attention from the very first page.

There are a few minor spelling errors, like using the word confidant instead of confident. But like I said, they were very minor and the book is very enjoyable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stalk me. (Keatyn Chronicles) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jillian Dodd Page; Review: At first, when I started reading this book, I hated it. The book didn't turn out the way I thought it would, based on the description. I was annoyed wth Keatyn, the main character. It seemed like all she wanted was to get a boy in bed. I almost quit reading it all together. I just was not happy sth the way she thought about things, and I was kinda disgusted by her. But then I decided to keep reading. Suddenly, I realized her whole situation, and understood what she was thjnking and going through. Instead of being disgusted by her, I felt as if I was becoming her best friend, and she was writing all of her life story out to me. I understood her, and loved readong the story. Keatyn started feeling real to me. So over all, this book was perfection. It was really believable, and it just kept going. At first, I thought at 47% it would be over. T had already been a great story, and it could've ended there. But the author kept going. Then it could've ended again at 80%. But the author kept going, and I'm so glad it did. There was so much detail, and so many characters that all fit in perfectly. I would demand that this be made into a movie, if it weren't for the *many* uhawkward scenes. I really don't want to see that. But if you feel like stopping, don't. This book is by far one of my absolute favorites, and it is soooooo worth the price(I got it off of the free page, but it is worth so much more). I loved it, you will too! Buy it now!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barbie Girl (Baby Doll Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Heidi Acosta Page; Review: This book is good. The story is good, the characters are good, it was enjoyable to read. My only problem was the many typos and spelling errors, as well as flawed punctuation. It was a great story, but at times it felt like the author was speaking the words, and a twelve year old wrote them down, without knowing how to use commas, periods, parentheses, etc... Usually with bad punctuation, you can tell what the author is trying to say, but there was a lot of bad spelling/typos in the book. For example, it would say 'we' instead of 'me', and you would have to go re-read it. But overall, it was a pretty good book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cheyenne: A Timeless Series Novel, Book One; Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa L. Wiedmeier Page; Review: Well...I did not enjoy this book one bit. The main character is very, very annoying. She seems to only think of herself, at all times. It's always about her, her, her. Whenever one of the guys does something, anything, she has two options. Either run away crying, or kiss them. She spends her time in this book switching from "I love you" to "I hate you". And not only is it with just one of the guys, she kisses half of her time kissing Colt, and half of it kissing Callon. Then she is upset when she realizes she has to marry one of them. It was very boring, annoying, and confusing for me...because I had absolutely no idea what was going through her brain. She seems to be bipolar. Loving Colt one minute, then hating him and kissing Callon. It never ends. I will not be reading any sequels. BUT--If you happen to love reading about excessive romance and drama, this may be for you. I am not interested in this sort of thing at all. But maybe you are. Did I enjoy this book: Perhaps 1/15 times I enjoyed it. Would I recommend it: No. Note to the author: Not everyone wants to hear about kissing and drama and romance all the time. Tone it down, sometimes less explained is better. Maybe then I'll be interested. Good luck on your next book. I wish I could give you a better rating.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Haven: War of the Princes; Author: Visit Amazon's A. R. Ivanovich Page; Review: I did love this book. I loved the characters, and I loved the last minute plot twist. I really wish that I could read the second book, but I don't have any money left on my account. As soon as I get a new Amazon card, the next book will be the first thing I buy. Did I enjoy this book: Yes. Would I recommend this book: Yes. Note to the author: Hurry up and write more! I loved your book! :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Never Say Never: Part 1; Author: Visit Amazon's Melinda Sutherland Page; Review: I did not enjoy this book. I have no idea why it has such great reviews. Personally, I found it quite terrible. I forced myself to finish it. I never want to give this kind of review, so I stuck around until the end, to see if it would get better. It didn't. First of all, editing was terrible. I don't think it was even edited. Punctuation was terrible, commas were exactly where they shouldn't be. Lots of run-on sentences. In once place, there was even a random = sign. For no reason. This is the worst example of the lack of editing: 'She like she was meeting celebrity'. Obviously you can tell what it means, but really, you are getting paid for this. At least get an editor or read it over once. The puncuation reminds me of my friend's writing back in sixth grade. Next, many parts that need more detail are carelessly skipped over. It's as if they're just put in as a filler, then forgotten about until later, when they're ended in a quick sentence. Therapy seemed to have no purpose. It was talked about in detail early on (first chapter only), yet was only mentioned once later on. The book then says 'I can't believe high school has gone by so fast. Freshman year sucked but the rest has been great.' Um..okay? Five words explaining sophmore and junior year. It's basially one story, (quote above), then senior year. Those years may not have been very inportant, but you can't just toss them aside so you can get to the next part quicker. Then there is the part with the exchange student, where the book says something like 'We took a lot of pictures and hung out. It was really fun.' There's no problem with mentioning this, but if you do, put more detail than 'It was really fun'. The next issue is the boys. All boys end up calling her or Ann (friend) "cutie". All of them. I have not heard the word 'cutie' come from any guy's mouth, ever. Then, less than 30 seconds after they start talking, Chris (future boyfriend who has never spoken to her) is telling her how much he loves her and that her face is "as pure as an angel". That's not how life works. If a guy did that to any girl, she would be beyond creeped out. Trust me. The next issue is when Chris takes her to the baseball game. He surprised her with a shirt and the game, and she starts crying. Not out of joy. Amanda is 'overwhelmed' and wants to leave. Then, after she got over it, he puts his hand on her thigh. She doesn't blink an eye, even though she had been raped before. It isn't logical. She freaks out at a shirt being given to her, but doesn't care about a guy touching her. What? The next issue is the dialogue. People say things and overexaggerate things that doesn't make any sense in real life. It doesn't sound like talking, it sounds; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Harbor Restaurant; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: Overpriced and over salted. As I told my co-worker when we were leaving, if I had been spending my own money on dinner, I'd have been pissed. I paid over $30 for a small salad and "short rib filled ravioli." The ravioli were so salty they were rendered inedible, and their sauce appeared to be super salty beef broth thickened with flour. Nasty. The salad was ok.

Title: Brophy Bros - Santa Barbara; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: Had a fantastic meal here, to redeem Santa Barbara's waterside restaurants. Sat outside, great view of the moored boats and passerbys. Did the cold appetizer combo (huge!) followed by the fresh lobster (huge!) and washed down with some very pleasant white wine. They don't serve dessert here, which is fine; if you know what you do well, just keep on keeping on. :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Palace Grill; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: Delicious New Orleans style food and beverages that take Bourbon street specialties and kick them up a notch in the class (and quality of alcohol) factor. Solidly enjoyed everything about my lunch here, absolutely recommend. I had the fried artichoke appetizer, spicy crawfish over rice entree, and had to try out the bread pudding souffle for dessert. All were excellent. And got very tipsy for the price of one martini -- the hurricane martini -- when it was brought out in a jam jar with a small martini glass to pour it into. Really 4 martinis for the price of one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Dune Coffee Roasters - State Street; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: Wandering up State Street, passing by multiple Starbucks and some other chains, I began to get homesick for San Francisco and its Blue Bottles, Four Barrels, and Phil's. Then yelp lead me to the French Press, and now when I'm in SF, I'll be homesick the otherway around (or is it coffee depressed?). I went here for some coffee with my friend Susie, and she is a coffee snob, but a very sweet one (I'm just not into bad coffee. There's a difference). So we each ordered our own french press; she got something bold from South America, I was given something light and fruity after not having a suggestion for the barrista. Both were excellent. I have never had black black coffee genuinely taste light and fruity. I mean, I tasted fruit. Susie said it was banana, but I think there was some berries going on as well. This place is awesome. Highly recommended. Also the rhubarb crumble was out of this world.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: The Night Strangers; Author: Chris Bohjalian; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I really loved pretty much every bit of this book up until the ending, specifically the Epilogue chapter. On a narrative note, I was really disappointed with how the story was wrapped up, so I cam away from it with a sour taste. But the language at times was really beautiful and I loved the characters, which I think is why the ending was so hard for me to take. This was the first book I've read by Bohjalian, but I'll definitely be looking for more of his work in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Skeletons at the Feast; Author: Chris Bohjalian; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: I wonder if this is a theme of Chris Bohjalian's writing - create lovely, genuine, individual characters and then kill them by the end of the book. This is definitely not a slight against his writing, because it means that I thought the book was so good I was disappointed that the characters I had come to love didn't make it through to the end. That being said, the writing was lovely and poetic, and the place was as much an integral character as the people were, and all my senses were taken when reading this story. It's dark and tragic but also has some really hopeful moments throughout that leaves the reader with a very powerful sense of strength. I thought this was an incredibly story and another great book from Bohjalian. I look forward to reading his other works, I just hope that this time I'll luck out with having the characters I love make it through the whole thing this time. :p; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety; Author: Daniel B. Smith; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: I enjoyed this book because, as someone who suffers from anxiety (and is struggling to be a writer) it was nice to see someone in the same situation succeed in certain ways. Although there were moments I found myself not entirely engaged, I found this account to be informative, amusing, and heartening, and I would suggest anyone who either knows someone suffering or is a sufferer of anxiety to give it a chance.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike, #1); Author: Robert Galbraith; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: I already knew this was a pseudonym for J. K. Rowling by the time I got around to reading this, but that information didn't detract at all from my experience, but rather impressed me even more to see the vast range and skills from the writer of the Harry Potter series. I have just finished this book, a little past 2 AM, because I simply had to keep going. The final reveal sequence had me on the edge of my seat, and I have fallen in love with both Strike and Robin as characters. J.K. Rowling is a talented and versatile writer who shows here that her prowess does not rest solely in the young adult fantasy genre, and I can't wait for the second Cormoran Strike novel and any subsequent books in the series to come.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hairstyles of the Damned; Author: Joe Meno; Genres: young-adult, fiction; Review: As much as I loved the story, what I really enjoyed about the novel was that it also served as an education in music and its culture, particularly in the punk, heavy metal, and hardcore genres. Music is my second greatest passion in life (behind writing) and Joe Meno fused both together beautifully in the form of a hilarious yet tender fictional account of a teenager growing into adulthood. I can only hope to write something as unique and heartwarming some day, but Meno has inspired me to try.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike, #3); Author: Robert Galbraith; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Not only dark and grisly, but the characters of Cormoran and Robin and their relationship (both working and platonic) makes this my favorite book of the series so far. Eagerly awaiting the next one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Nightingale; Author: Kristin Hannah; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Had actual tears in my eyes at the Starbucks where I was reading the last thirty pages. Really beautiful work. I'm definitely going to check out some more of Ms. Hannah's work.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: The Star Inn; City: Harome North Yorkshire England; Review: I booked a table for my husband, his elderly aunt & I, so was disappointed to be seated on an uncomfortable chair in a thoroughfare with people constantly pushing past behind me. 85 year old aunt was seated on a bench & you would think the staff would have exercised some common sense, as I made the reservation a week in advance. The food was excellent but rather overpriced & my "half lobster" was tiny. They did not have the wines I wanted from the wine list in stock, so I had to go for a more expensive option. The waitress spoke inadequate English & I thought she was going to hit me because I asked for a wine cooler. She snatched our wine away aggressively to a cooler on a sideboard, well away from our table. The other staff seemed ok but unfortunately we got the rude one. Despite the very good food, considering the uncomfortable seating & rude waitress, we will not be going back.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Les Norias Hotel Restaurant; City: Cazilhac Ganges Herault Occitanie; Review: The problem was that the Logis de France system has overrated Les Norias as 3 chimneys & 3 saucepans/marmites, so we ended up going to a 1* place we would not otherwise have chosen. The accommodation was a bit tatty, particularly the not very clean toilet area & mouldy tiling, but adequate for us for one night but it was definitely misrepresented as 3* The reception & corridors stank of cigarette smoke. We have used Logis for nearly 40 years & you can expect some pretty gourmet food when it’s rated as 3 saucepans. This food was so disappointing (a Thursday night) - just le menu with no choice at any of the 3 courses and very ordinary cuisine; vegetable terrine (bought?), guinea fowl in peppercorn sauce (tasted like a bought sauce), followed by poached pears & ice cream (bought). Perhaps a key family member (cook?) had retired or left, as the pleasant & helpful couple running Les Norias were obviously overworked and under-staffed. The wine I initially ordered was unavailable. The gardens were lovely though in need of some t.l.c. & the riverside setting was nice. I blame Logis de France for overrating this establishment & we have lost confidence in their rating system!; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Spaced Invaders VHS; Brand: Douglas Barr; Review: This is a low-budget charmer with truly funny dialogue. It's become an annual Halloween entertainment for my family. Both aliens and humans are extremely silly and amusing. Good fun for both kids and adults. Enjoy!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Something Wicked This Way Comes VHS; Brand: Jason Robards; Review: This Ray Bradbury story tells the tale of a bizarre circus and its ominous owners / ringleaders. Two local boys discover frightening hints as to the deeper nature of the circus and join forces to save their friends and families from the dark allure of the carnies of the circus. It is scary sci-fi with final skin-of-the-teeth evasion of the downward vortex generated by these seriouisly bad guys come to town. The acting is excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Queen Wood Hotel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: I only stayed 1 night here but it was terrible. The bathroom floor was wet when i checked in and someone had left their shoes. There were cigarette butts on the ground and the room didn't seem like it had been cleaned. I slept on top of a sheet i had brought as I didn't feel comfortable. The noise from the street is horrendous and the fridge didn't work at all. Wouldn't stay again and wouldn't recommend. Wifi is free but didn't work in the room. There is a rooftop pool as advertised but it's actually more like a large spa size, not very deep either.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Buddy Boutique Inn; City: Bangkok; Review: I only stayed for two nights expecting a kind of backpackers feel but was met with something different. IT was lovely and tucked away from the street. The staff were amazingly helpful and kind. Yes, the room has no windows but I wouldn't have wanted them. Considering Khao San Road is right next door, the music is so loud, having windows would have made it worse. I was able to have a good nights sleep without the issue of noise. I would definitely stay here again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Banyan Leaf Hotel; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: It's kinda of in a small lane and pretty hidden from the road. Beautiful pool and the rooms were great. Amazing breakfast and happy hour. Really loved it and would stay again. Rooms come with tv, aircon and other necessities. 24hr reception and laundry services.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hoang Ngan Hotel; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: At the end of my trip I stayed here. As i was on a tour I was yet again expecting and stereotypical backpackers type place, however this was fantastic. I was rooming with another girl so we had 2 single beds. The room was quite spacious and and bathroom was a generous size. Was really able to relax and wind down here. Unfortunately our window was blocked and didn't really get a good view of anything. I walked the majority of my time in Saigon and everything was easily accessible from this hotel. The backpackers/clubs were 4 blocks away. Shopping down the road and the Ben Tahn markets were only a 15 minute walk as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bangkok Centre Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: As a budget hotel I thought it would be as good as it actually was. Stayed in a twin room. Aircon, tv, fridge with complimentary water. Beds were comfortable. The pool was fantastic as the weather was so hot at the time. Breakfast was a mix of western and Asian which was good if you can't stomach certain foods in the morning. Overall a great time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Asian Ruby Select Hotel; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: The staff here were lively from the get go. Fantastic greetings and helpfulness with maps and where to go. The cleaning staff were also very lovely when bumping into them on my way out or in. My room was amazing. I had a transfer booked for the airport at like 5 and they rang to let me know it was here. Would definitely stay again. Was underpriced for what they offer!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Moscow Krasnoselskaya; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: Stayed here for a week. Staff were very helpful. Right across the road from a shopping centre and near metro.

Title: Hotel Miramar; City: Essaouira Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: This hotel is in such a good location. Right across the road from the beach and restaurants. Cute cafe next door. Medina 10min walk down the street. So many places to explore and no need to drive. This hotel had a lovely buffet breakfast. Pool/spa out back which was heated at night. We also found a rooftop with an amazing view to sit and have tea in the afternoon. Comfy beds and spacious rooms with great amenities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel El Andalous; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: Stayed here 2 seperate times. On the 4th and 3rd floor. There is a nightclub in the hotel grounds which people staying on the 1st and 2nd floors said they could hear at night on the weekends, however we did not hear anything from our rooms. Amazing pool for hot days and lovely staff. The buffet is absolutely to die for!! That is no exaggeration either. There is also the cutest little Pomeranian pup that hangs out at reception. I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Marrakesh. Easy to access the local supermarket only a block away and the Medina is about 15mins walk as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Pro Series Black Reese 63153 Cargo Carrier Metal 24"X60"; Brand: Pro Series; Review: It's the Best Hitch Carrier you can get. from the second you open the box of it great material shows it self. Very Well Built, Clean Welding, and a heavy duty arm. I have researched a lot before getting this one, and i'm totally satisfied with it. could be nice if it was folding, but i guess it will loose some reliability and it's toughness. It wasn't complicated to set it up and install it. kinda heavy though, so be careful! As concern of blocking license plate , for it it was fine , i have used on my 2017 Santa Fe, and it not blocking license plate at all. I have got a "Hitch Tightener" with it and it is the best i guess. Don't under estimate the importance of that little guy , you definitely need a Hitch Tightener, trust me. And "ROLA 59516 LED Light Kit for ROLA Railed Cargo Carrier" as the lightning System , that again you will need it. worked like a charm. As an improvement Point , a path for cabling could be nice. so instead of leaving wires on top or beneath of tray , i have broken some of "rooms" in between, this way none of the cables will be bend or brake under 225 lbs. of weight and or even extreme sunlight/snow.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: La Woods Hotel; City: Chennai Madras Chennai District Tamil Nadu; Review: Location is great, WiFi was flawless, rooms were spotless, bed was lovely, best bathroom facilities I've seen in India, round the clock hot water. DIY ironing room available and all rooms are smoke free. Even if you smoke, this is something very rare, you can really smell the cleanliness in your room. Service is swift, nothing was in construction or broken during my stay. This is definitely going to be where I spend my time in Chennai whenever I come back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bonanza; City: Baga North Goa District Goa; Review: We were greeted by extremely friendly staff and, minutes later, the manager. My two friends and I settled the bill up front with the manager himself before we were showed to rooms much more luxurious than is reasonable to hope for at the room tariffs asked at Hotel Bonanza. During our three day stay, we were never locked out (as is wont to happen in India), we were never woken by excessive noise, our privacy was respected and our needs were taken care of with a smile to boot. Staying here, we did not need to take a single auto or taxi except to visit other beaches. 5 minutes to Baga beach. To top all of that off, there is great pizza just next to reception. This family run establishment is one I will always make my base of operations when I head to Goa. Value for money is an understatement and I have never met a hotel manager that loved their job so infectiously- at Hotel Bonanza, you will meet two.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Makara Village; City: Gokarna Dakshina Kannada District Karnataka; Review: For the price of a dingy room elsewhere, at Makara Village one is treated to an entire cosy cottage. For you who require it, the air-conditioning is powerful, for those of you who don't the rooms come with nice, big windows you can open to let the fresh country air in. This hotel is right on the highway so if you wish to go sightseeing, you are located exactly where you want to be for day trips the manager will be more than happy to arrange with the trusted taxi drivers the hotel keeps on a retainer. The food at the hotel's restaurant is fairly priced (I recommend the paneer butter masala and naan), their modest breakfast buffet is more than affordable, the service is excellent and there are high standards of hygiene upheld. For those of you who are in Gokarna for the lovely beaches, this place is relatively equidistant to all of them and the manager will ensure you are asked reasonable taxi/auto fare. Makara Village is highly recommended. I cannot see myself staying anywhere else in Gokarna.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Residence Inn Ottawa Airport; City: Ottawa Ontario; Review: Attentive, friendly staff will welcome you, your room will be bigger than you thought it was going to be. The services the hotel offers are above and beyond, grocery shopping on your behalf, a full kitchen to work with in your suite. The WiFi is fast enough to stream in HD and they have an indoor pool. Incredible value. My flight itinerary had to be... altered because of a winter storm. This place was so welcoming I honestly didn't mind getting there a day late. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Mandina's Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Have loved Mandina's for years. Atmosphere is homey. Service is friendly and efficient. We started with the onion rings. Can I still use the word awesome? Big mound of hot lightly breaded crispy tasty rings. Enough for 3. We left a couple on the plate, but the table next to us finished theirs. They must be regulars and planned for it. There next dishes were lighter. Our's were not. I ordered the roast beef. It was sooo juicy. It must have been the open faced version on the menu. I just asked what the lady next to us was having and that was it. I gave my husband almost half of it. He ordered a big bowl of gumbo and it was very good too. Lots of good seafood in it and the roux couldn't have been better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Commander's Palace; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: It's so nice to know that when you call for reservations and when you walk in the door, the people at Commander's treat you as if you are the most important people there. Went end of September for birthday weekend celebration. We go to Commanders every time we're in NOLA. It's that awesome. We've sat in almost every room and this time it was upstairs and in the traffic lane. When my husband said something about it, they moved us right away to a better table. The servers called him by his last name, nice personal touch. "Welcome to Commander's Palace, Mr. __." Not to me though, I guess they don't take it for granted the lady with you is your wife! lol But first! Whiskey Sour and a Watermelon Caipirnha. Excellent! Turtle Soup and Shrimp Remoulade. Excellent. Almost always have the turtle soup. I had the Pecan Crusted Gulf Fish and he had the filet mignon. The accompaniments were understated, but very well done. I also have to have the bread pudding souffle. It is soo light and the whiskey sauce.... wishing I had it right now. Service was excellent. My favorite room is the garden room when they take you through the kitchen to get there. One of these days I want to eat at the table in the kitchen! This time I took the wrong stairs and right into the kitchen. They said come on in! Love it! So I took pictures. They really know how to train the their staff and it makes for a great evening. Have to go back for brunch one of these days too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mother's Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Mother's reminds me of .. well Mother's! Not quite the same menu, but my mother's cooking was the best and just down home southern. At my mother's I don't have to stand in line, that's all. Not to say I wouldn't stand in line. The food at Mother's is very good. Husband had the combination of red beans and rice, jambalaya andI forget the third, but all of it was excellent. I had the fried oysters. Came out hot, delicious and lots of them. I like the community seating in the big back room. Best way to experience NOLA too! Wish it were closer to our hotel, but definitely worth of the trip.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stanley; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: AHA - it hit me - the significance of the name Stanley (which just happens to be my brother's name) when I saw the ad for Stella on their T-shirts! Cute, surprised it's the first time I've seen restaurants with that theme in NOLA. Anyway - on to the food. The Po-Boy Eggs Benedict - presentation was nice - on a thick slide of a baguette. I try not to eat so much bread, so I moved one off and ate the other with the bread. Delicious! And I was able to munch on the other piece of baguette while dredging it through the sauce - I know defeats the purpose of trying to not eat all that bread - but it was so good couldn't help it. My husband had the hash and it was more of a dish that had big chunks of pastrami and corned beef sitting on some roasted potatoes with an egg on top. Kind of an upscale hash. The flavors were very well done, but he likes his hash like "hash". I wish we'd found this place the first day, we would've gone back every morning and tried more of the menu. Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked excellent. The service was good - busy place! Cool joint, understated. Mimosa was nicely done, but wish it could have been a little less expensive to drink them. Stelllllaaaaa!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Spotted Cat Music Club; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Was there late September. Hate that we waited til the last night to hit this area. The Spotted Cat is a dive in the best sense of the term. Funky little place where we were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar, which was a coup for sure. Met a fun couple who go there all the time. The music was good and fun and energized the crowd. The bartenders were very busy, but managed to give good service with a decent pour and reasonably priced. We loved the area and the outdoor shop next to it was very interesting!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Jazz Playhouse; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We had the best time in here. Went to NOLA for my birthday back in September and were looking for a music venue that wasn't the Bourbon Street tourist joint. Remembered this place when friends stayed at the Royal Sonesta, so we went in and this band was playing. Found seats at the bar, excellent drinks, friendly bartender. Fun music. Ended up chatting with the people on our right and left, but not so much that it took away from the music. During the break, one of the band members came up to the bar and we had a great conversation. He told my husband about his past and where he was pre and post katrina. Very interesting guy. We ended up on the dance floor (dancing, not actually ON the floor) during the next set and did I say we had the best time in here?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Bombay Club; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We go to the Bombay club every time we hit NOLA. But it won't be our top choice next time. They had one bartender, who was helping a party, also sitting at the bar. Waited and waited to be acknowledged. he kept going to the other side of the bar to mix drinks - I guess that's where all his tools were. I finally went around and asked if we could get a couple of martini's. He said "no one told me your big party was coming in". I said I'm not with a big party, just two of us on the other side. he said he'd get to us when he could. We waited another 15 minutes and left. In this amount of time, three other couples came and went without ordering. They need to be better prepared for any type of business.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Tujague's Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Went in for drinks in the afternoon. We've eaten here before and never disappointed. The drinks are good. The bartender friendly and helpful. He told us about the dinner menu and made it sound excellent! No chairs at the bar though. Would have liked to sit and enjoy our drinks before moving on.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Magnolia Grill of New Orleans; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Not a destination place, but ok if you're walking by looking for a place with good food, and if I remember correctly, decent drinks. They do serve nice portions and it was tasty. Service friendly enough, if not a little hurried.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pat O'Brien’s; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: tourist trap - but still hard to resist. Better to go before it gets too late and rowdy with drunks. It's nice to sit outside at one of the tables and relax. But if you go late at night they push the hurricane glasses on you and tell you, that you have to order it that way and then get your money back on the glass if you don't want it. The hurricanes are WAY too sweet. How can you not get sick after having one.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: I Can Do It Cards, Wealth; Author: Louise Hay; Review: Once again, a quality product by acclaimed Louise Hay. I have been following her since the 80's and own much of her items to include mostly her books. She really knows how to help anyone suffering from lack of confidence or person's who just needs guidance on their journey in life. I am very pleased with these lovely cards and the box they come in is sturdy too. Small enough to travel with or sit on your nightstand. Anywhere you need them they won't take up too much space and will draw attention should a guest come to your home. I love sharing these or anything else offered by Louise Hay. Her affirmations are uplifting and never fail to help my emotionally. I always feel better after I read them daily and they help me to change my mindset. A+++; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Love the book. Great heart felt stories and good quality hard back. Will be added to my books that show its wear and tear as a testament of how appreciative it's owner is to have it.

Title: Sempre (Forever); Author: Visit Amazon's J M Darhower Page; Review: I just finished this book Sempre (Forever) this afternoon after starting it yesterday, not knowing anything about what it was about. In the first few chapters I couldn't see where this book was going but once the story started and Haven and Carmine met in the kitchen I was hooked! This story deals with young love, slavery and the mafia! Its main characters are Haven and Carmine who are two 17 years old who have an instant 'thunderbolt' attraction to each other. Haven is a slave (yes, the author J.M Darhower is very passionate about Human Trafficking) and Carmine's family is in the mafia. I have rated this book 4.5 stars because it was a great read with interesting characters. This book deals with a lot of issues and adult topics while centering on young characters. I am so excited that there is a sequel coming because even though the book was wrapped up at the end there were some bits that left you hanging. I also hear it might be made into a movie? I'll keep you posted.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hopeless; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: Wow, this book kept me well hooked for 24 hours! I could barely function while reading it as I just wanted to know what happened! Where do I start? I started this book Hopeless late last night because Maryse had recommended it and I loved Colleen Hoovers other books. I happened to see it cheap on Amazon at only $3.99 so I downloaded it. The kindle app onto my iPhone and iPad have allowed me to troll amazon as well as my library and bookstore!. I read the first few chapters last night and had to go to bed (my alarm rings at 4:30 weekdays!). I couldn't stop thinking about the book all day and was even telling my work friends that all I wanted to do was go home and finish reading the book! Fast forward to 7:30pm on Friday night when my husband comes home from work and I'm out in the alfresco area with 30 pages left to go in the book and a glass of wine beside me. Husband: Honey, why don't I have any clean clothes for work tomorrow? Me: Eh? Husband: I'm starving! Me: Huh? Ok I'll make you some mushroom pasta in a minute. Husband: No thanks, I'll cook myself a steak. Me: Ok great sounds good (continues reading). Now I've finished the book and poured myself another glass of wine to write this entry. (He finished his steak) I knew Colleen Hoover was a great author after reading Slammed and Point of Retreat so I went to the bookstore asking for Hopeless but they said it was only in eBook form at the moment so I downloaded it. This is another high school based romance story with a lot of twists and turns along the way. If I didn't have so many other books in my queue to read I would definitely read this one again. In fact, I might read it again in July just before Holders Point of View comes out! (Can you believe it??? Colleen Hoover announced it yesterday on her blog). I just saw you can read Holders Point of View for their 'best first kiss' which I just read and was amazing! You can read my full review at Bec's Book Blog as well as pictures of who I think should play Holder if this book were every made into a movie!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Siren; Author: Visit Amazon's Tiffany Reisz Page; Review: You need to be very open minded if you are going to read The Original Sinners series! I loved it because it is a very intense read with 5 well developed in depth main characters. The story centres on Nora who is an erotica writer with an 'interesting' Sub/Dom lifestyle. The stories all revolve around her, her circle of friends and her colleagues. The author Tiffany Reisz allows you to really get to know the characters through a lot of different perspectives and it just makes you want to read more! See the full review and reading order guide at Bec's Book Blog. It took me a few days out in the alfresco during the Christmas holidays to finish these books but it has taken me almost 2 months to write this entry since I've been trying to find people who I think would be good likenesses for Sren and Kingsley. I just can't find anyone who looks like either of them since their descriptions aren't exactly common descriptions. I've decided that since they are problably best imagined in your head I won't put any pictures up. The author Tiffany Reisz isn't stopping after just these books either! There are 17 novels & novella's already and she has at least 5 more novels planned according to her website and the next one The Mistress is planned for July 30th 2013! The first four of 'The Original Sinners' series focus on the 'The Red Years' while the next four prequel novels starting with 'The Priest' focus on 'The White Years'. Then of course there are all the Free Web Novella's on Tiffany's website. The first book The Siren focuses mainly on Nora and her publisher Zachary. I am definitely giving this whole series 5 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

[...] After reading Unsticky I definitely wanted to keep reading other books by Sarra Manning! I saw that she had another book titled You Don't Have to Say You Love Me so I had to go and get it straight away. This story revolves around Neve and Max, who live and work in Central London. Neve has been hanging onto her feelings for William, who left 3 years ago and moved to Los Angeles, when she meets Max out at a bar with her sister. It took me 2 day to read this book and while I was reading it, the characters held me completely captive. I really enjoyed how the story unfolded and I just wanted to continue reading so I could find out what happened! Reading this story brought back a lot of good memories of London and reminded me of the 4 years I spent living and working there. I have rated this book 4.5 stars since I liked it a lot although not quite as much as Unsticky (but I did like the fact that Grace and Vaughn from Unsticky are mentioned in this book).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unsticky; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarra Manning Page; Review: Loved this book, couldn't put it down. I really don't know why but this book Unsticky really stuck in my head! Even though it had a Pretty Women feel to it I really got into the characters of Vaughn and Grace. From the minute Vaughn see's Grace in the shop and drags her to his restaurant, I was intrigued. Grace describes seeing Vaughn's face and thinking that he's 'all angle's'. You can read my Bec's Book Blog entry about this book at [...] and there you can also see some pictures of who I think would be good to play Vaughn if this book were to be make into a movie!

After reading everywhere online that the Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel is definitely the next book to read after Fifty, I had to get it. This is the first book in the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day and it is fantastic! I think I might like Gideon Cross and his stalker qualities even better than Christian Grey! He's a hot, possessive, billionaire CEO! The second book is called Reflected in You: A Crossfire Novel. I read it a few days later and the story picks up right where it left off. It goes deeper into the relationship between Eva and Gideon and is just as fascinating and a fun read. It had all the angst and passion that made me not want to be interrupted at all while I was reading it which was great because my husband was working afternoons/nights so I had plenty of time to get sucked into the world of Upper Class New York City.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gabriel's Inferno; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvain Reynard Page; Review: After reading about Christian Grey and Gideon Cross I needed another guy to swoon over and I found him with the bad boy Professor Gabriel Emerson! When not teaching Dante to his University Students he haunts the nightclubs of Toronto! Julia Mitchell has loved him for a long time, ever since they met years before in their hometown. It takes the Professor a little while to realise who she is when she comes to one of his seminars. They hit it off on the wrong foot and there is already a lot of tension between them which makes for good reading. Their connection is strong from the start. The story then unfolds with their adventures and how they need to manage their new relationship. There is also a deeper back story which can be very intense at times but kept me hooked! You can read my full review and see photo's of the actor who is perfect to play Gabriel if these books were made into a movie at Bec's Book Blog. I am rating the book Gabriel's Inferno 5 stars since it captivated me completely. I loved the way the author Sylvain Reynard wrote and it was a very passionate and beautiful book. He has even has announced there is even a third book coming soon I can't wait for the continuation of Gabriel & Julia's love story!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Bared to You / Reflected in You / Entwined with You; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: You can read myfull review at Bec's Book Blog and see pictures of who I think would be perfect to play Gideon Cross if this book series were to be made into a movie! After reading everywhere online that the Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel is definitely the next book to read after Fifty, I had to get it. This is the first book in the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day and it is fantastic! I think I might like Gideon Cross and his stalker qualities even better than Christian Grey! He's a hot, possessive, billionaire CEO! The second book is called Reflected in You: A Crossfire Novel. I read it a few days later and the story picks up right where it left off.

Title: A Hunger So Wild: A Renegade Angels Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: The world of angels, lycans and vampires is very new to me but after understanding the terminology (thanks to the Glossary at the front of the novels), I really got into the books. The more I read the more I enjoyed them. It is complicated fantasy world which starts to make a lot more sense over time. I read these books over the course of a few weeks, with a few books in between (since I was waiting for some to become available at the library). You can read my full review as well as see the reading order guide at my Bec's Book Blog! Sylvia Day (author of the Crossfire Series) is my favourite author of the moment. If you like her other books then you will like these books as well! They are very sexy with powerful, intense men who are 'out of this world'. I would recommend you read this book if you like intense paranormal romances. Each book focuses on a new character but they all intermingle and are characters in the other stories. I loved these books especially A Hunger So Wild! By the time I read this book in the series, I understood the difference between the Lycans, Angels and Vampires. Each book in the series just got me more and more hooked! Looking forward to the next one!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I did enjoy this book even though it took me a little while to get into it and understand who was who. Now I have a better idea of paranormal characters so it will be easier to read the rest of the series. I would give this book 4.5 stars but the series as a whole 5 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Stranger I Married; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: I chose this book because I was in the mood for another one of Sylvia Day's historical romances and this one didn't disappoint! You can read my full review and see pictures of who would be good to play Grayson if this book were made into a movie at Bec's Book Blog! This book centers on Grayson (Gerard) and Isabel (Pel). After being widowed young, Isabel is in no mood to get married again and is happy by herself. However Grayson is annoyed by constantly being seen as an 'eligible bachelor' and just wants to continue with a string of lovers. He feels the best solution is to marry Isabel and then the two of them can continue in their ways. It is definitely a marriage of convenience for both of them. This seems like a good plan and while the two are married they are in different cities! All is going well until 4 years into the marriage Grayson returns, and this is when things get interesting. It is hot and steamy at some points just like Sylvia Day's other books and took me a day to read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seven Years To Sin; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: What can I say? I didn't realise Sylvia Day had written so many books, but after reading the first two novels in the Crossfire series, I definitely wanted to read more! I wasn't disappointed with this book. This book captivated me from the very beginning. It was another intense male to swoon over! At Bec's Book Blog, you can see my full review as well as pictures of who I think would be perfect to play Alistair if this book were ever made into a movie! On Goodreads the author Sylvia Day says: The idea for Bared to You came to me shortly after writing Seven Years to Sin, which also deals with a couple recovering from difficult pasts. In some ways, Bared to You feels like an extension of Seven Years to Sin to me, even though they're set 200 years apart... I am not normally into reading historical fiction but this one kept me interested. It has that bad boy and the sweet female main characters who I enjoyed reading about. After Jessica has an intense encounter with Alistair (she watches him sell his body for money) on the day before her wedding the two of them are bound together forever. Although she has a happy and fulfilling marriage her husband unfortunately passes away and this allows the real story to begin. I read this story in two days and it had me hooked from the start. Most of the other books I've been reading lately are part of a series and this book also has some of the characters overlap with her other historical romance books according to Sylvia Day's website. I'm giving this book Seven Years to Sin 4.5 stars because it's a great read and kept me interested. I'm definitely reading her other books; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Slammed; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: This book Slammed by Colleen Hoover was amazing. The story really grabbed me and I ended up reading it on a Saturday afternoon (which turned into evening) because they were so addicting. Around luchtime on a beautiful summers day in January (Australia) I went to sit out in the alfresco area to read for an hour or two. Well that turned into about 9 hours (I read the second book that day as well!) and it was dark before I could concentrate on anything else! I vaguely remember cooking something simple for dinner. My poor dog Charlie didn't get a walk that day! I had never heard of Slamming before but it is definitely a unique angle for a book! You can see who I've chosen to play Will Cooper at my Bec's Book Blog if this series was ever made into a movie!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Point of Retreat; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: This series by Colleen Hoover was amazing. The story really grabbed me and I ended up reading both books on a Saturday afternoon (which turned into evening) because they were so addicting. You need to read Slammed first, then Point of Retreat (and soon 'The Girl'). Around luchtime on a beautiful summers day in January (Australia) I went to sit out in the alfresco area to read for an hour or two. Well that turned into about 9 hours and it was dark before I could concentrate on anything else! I vaguely remember cooking something simple for dinner.

Title: The Sea of Tranquility: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Katja Millay Page; Review: You can see my full entry at Bec's Book Blog with photo's of who I think would be best to play Josh if this were made into a movie. I loved reading this book The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay! I had seen good reviews for it all over the book blogosphere and it had been sitting in my Kindle App for a while. I finally decided to take the plunge and I ended up finishing the book in 1 day. I started it at about 6am when I woke up and finished it at about 9pm when I went to bed. I don't like to start a good book then have to put it down when all I want to know is what happens next! Most of the time life gets in the way and I'm not so fortunate to have a Sunday to relax! This book reminded me a lot of another book I read recently called Sempre (Forever) and it also had a touch of Hopeless in it. All three of these books have the same type of feel to them being Young/New Adult style books with characters that are in highschool. Since I'm a bit older these days I normally read college or adult books (New Adult/Adult genres) but every now and then it's nice to think back to what it was like in highschool. It's taken me 2 days to find someone who looked how I imagined Josh to look. I like to put a face to a name if I can, at least for the male lead character so we can swoon over him! This one was definitely more difficult since the character was so young! I really got into this story and the characters of Nastya, Josh & Draw all really resonated with me! I got emotionally involved with them and couldn't wait to keep reading. Definitely giving it 5 stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Men Out of Uniform: Three Novellas of Erotic Surrender; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: Since I love Sylvia Day's books so much I just had to get this book and it didn't disappoint! There are 3 novella's (each take an hour or two to read). They are definitely Adult themed books! Great read for an afternoon in the sun (or by the fire!). On my Bec's Book Blog entry I've got lots of photos of who I think would be good to play the main characters! This sure was a FUN entry to write ;). I would definitely recommend reading these novella's for a bit of light heavy reading ;p.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hot in Handcuffs; Author: Visit Amazon's Shayla Black Page; Review: Since I love Sylvia Day's books so much I just had to get this book and it didn't disappoint!

Title: The Sleeping Beauty Novels: The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty / Beauty's Release / Beauty's Punishment; Author: Visit Amazon's A. N. Roquelaure Page; Review: Wow is all I can say about this series! The trilogy really grew on me. The first book was my least favourite and really hard to get my head around. By the end of the third book, which was my favourite, I was hooked and didn't want it to end. The whole series took me 2 months to read because I would read a few chapters on my lunch break each day. For me, I preferred to read these books in little chunks since they are so intense. It was my little lunchtime secret! You definitely need an open mind if you are going to read this trilogy. This is the original erotica at its best! My eyes have definitely been opened to a new world. You can see my full entry about this series at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thoughtless; Author: Visit Amazon's S.C. Stephens Page; Review: It's great to escape to a world where the male lead character Kellan Kyle is a rock star, has a killer body, amazing face and perfect hair! That is this series! The first book is called Thoughtless & the whole series was so amazing! There was so much detail and development of the characters. When I finished Thoughtless I really couldn't tell where the story was going to go. I thought the story could easily end there as a happy ever after (HEA) but since I had already bought the next two in the trilogy I knew there was more! I was so invloved with Kiera, Denny & Kellan that I just couldn't stop reading. I was curious where the author was going to go with their intense love. Their introduction and the first few months of their relationship was anything but simple so I had some idea that there was a lot more to the story. These books are another reason why I like reading book series so much! I love the detail and the evolution of people's lives. I definitely rate this series 5 stars because I couldn't get these books out of my head, they stay with you a long time after you've read them. You can see some more photo's of who the author thinks looks like Kellan and my full entry at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Effortless; Author: Visit Amazon's S.C. Stephens Page; Review: It's great to escape to a world where the male lead character Kellan Kyle is a rock star, has a killer body, amazing face and perfect hair! That is this series!

Their introduction and the first few months of their relationship was anything but simple so I had some idea that there was a lot more to the story. The second book Effortless didn't fail to disappoint either! There was still lots of angst, conflict and emotion! I got even more invovled with the characters! It was a rollar coaster that had me tearing up during certain sections. These books are another reason why I like reading book series so much! I love the detail and the evolution of people's lives. I definitely rate this series 5 stars because I couldn't get these books out of my head, they stay with you a long time after you've read them.

Title: Reckless (Thoughtless); Author: Visit Amazon's S.C. Stephens Page; Review: It's great to escape to a world where the male lead character Kellan Kyle is a rock star, has a killer body, amazing face and perfect hair! That is this series! The first book is called Thoughtless, the second one is Effortless and the third is Reckless. The whole series was so amazing! There was so much detail and development of the characters. The third book Reckless was also fast paced and lots of fun to read. This music video of 'Just Give Me A Reason' with Nate Ruess and P!nk reminds me of Reckless. I won't give any of the book away but if you've read the book you will see what I mean (altough it's a bit different to the storyline!). I had a bit of break between reading the first and second books but after reading the second one, I started the third one immediately. Kellan Kyle is such an intense book boyfriend. I'm not sure I would appreciate him in real life but in the book world it's fun! He does have his faults, as does Kiera. They do make a great couple though! I don't know if anything like their relationship could happen in real life, it's like a juiced up relationship. I have a bit of a book hangover after finishing this series though! These books are another reason why I like reading book series so much! I love the detail and the evolution of people's lives. I definitely rate this series 5 stars because I couldn't get these books out of my head, they stay with you a long time after you've read them.

Title: Steps to Heaven: A Sgt Major Crane Novel (Sgt Major Crane thrillers) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Wendy Cartmell Page; Review: I really enjoyed the Steps to Heaven: A Sgt Major Crane Novel that I read recently. This book wasn't an easy read and did take me a while to read since I only read it in little sections whenever I got the chance. It wasn't one of those books you had to re-read to find your place though, I definitely remembered where I was at when I next picked it up! It had pieces that would draw me in and want to read more. I think I enjoyed this book so much since it's similiar to the types of books I used to read when I was younger and it is also relevant to me now. It's completely different than the New Adult and Adult books I've been reading over the last few months. Sometimes it's nice to get away from the intense romance books and back into the mystery books. What drew me to this ebook was the author Wendy Cartmell contacting me on twitter saying she had a new book out. Since it was only $0.99 I thought I would give it a go and she wrote back & said she hoped I enjoyed Sgt Crane. I do like interacting with the authors and spending a few hours reading books that have heart & soul. You can read my full entry at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pride and Pleasure; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: I LOVE all of Sylvia Day's books and this one Pride and Pleasure was no different, it was great as well! However, it didn't grab me as much as her other historical romances The Stranger I Married or Seven Years to Sin both of which I LOVED! (Not to mention all of her other books and the amazing Crossfire and Renegade Angels series!). The main characters grew on me and I could picture what Jasper Bond the thief-taker and Eliza Martin the female lead look like. I am not sure if it's because this book took me longer to read than the others or there were too many characters with similar names, but it was about half-way through before I really started to enjoy this book. I had to flip back and re-read sections to figure out who was who, I prefer when I can get into the story straight away and understand who everyone is. I am rating this book 4 of 5 stars because even though I liked it, I didn't absolutely love it. If you love Sylvia Day's books it's worth a read though. You can see my full entry at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Temptation Unleashed: The Temptation Trilogy: Book 1; Author: Sherry P. Stanfield; Review: I really enjoyed this book. I read the first two chapters on Goodreads and right from the beginning, I was hooked and wanted to read more. The main setting is on a college campus and deals with life at University. I feel the character development and writing in this book was good and I really enjoyed the storyline. I felt that the story flowed well and was believable. Although this book doesn't deal directly with vampires it definitely has a paranormal theme which I loved. This book should eventually be a trilogy and I am looking forward to reading the next two books in the series. I am giving this book 4.5 stars because it held me captive throughout and I continued to need to know what happened to each character. I am also looking forward to the next instalments. If you like sexy paranormal books then you will definitely enjoy this book! I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review so you can read my full entry at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Real (The REAL series); Author: Visit Amazon's Katy Evans Page; Review: I had been hearing about this book for the past few months and it has been at the top of my TBR pile for a while. I was in a mood this week to read an angsty book with a swoon worthy male lead character and this book did not disappoint! Like other bloggers before me have said...move over Travis we have a new sexy hot-bod fighter in town! I am definitely rating this book 5 stars since the story was excellent, I was hooked from the start and I haven't read a book like this yet!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mountain Charm; Author: Visit Amazon's Sydney Logan Page; Review: This book is an excellent read! It is completely different than any book I have read recently. It's a lovely romantic story set in the American South. It is a sweet New Adult romance (with just a touch of paranormal) set in the hills of Appalachia. It didn't take me very long to read this book since it had me hooked from the start & it is such a sweet book with magical interludes! I felt completely captivated under its spell and read it over 3 days (mainly over my lunch break & in the evening when I could sneek some time in!). I highly recommend this book if you are looking for an easy reading sweet romance book. I could definitely relate the the 2 main characters Angelina & Dylan and their intense feelings for each other. Obviously, I have never been under a magical love spell (that I know of!) but I could relate to the intense infatuation that the two of them felt. I do love my alpha males, and as much as Dylan tried to be, he is a romantic & I have to put this one in the vanilla category on my blog. I thought this book flowed really well and the characters were well developed. I loved the developement of the other characters in the book and was just as invested with their wellbeing at the main characters. I think their inclusion was good and really brought another level to the story as a whole! I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this book from the author & I know this book is part of the Appalachian Heart Series but I don't know when or if any more books in the series will be released. You can see my full entry at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cedar Hollow; Author: Visit Amazon's Tracey Smith Page; Review: Cedar Hollow is an excellent book and I loved reading this romantic suspense novel! It definitely had me hooked from the start and I didn't want to put it down. It was different than other novels I've been reading lately in that there was a mystery to be solved as well. It also had some elements that made it a bit creepy and spooky which surprisingly I thought was really fun! The plot moves quickly and is easy to follow which is great. I thought the characters of Cassidy St. Claire & Ben Riley were really well developed and I loved how you find out more and more about them while reading the book. At the beginning they are quite standoffish and I was wondering where the romance part of this romantic suspense novel was. When that comes though, it hits you with a bang and is very gripping to read! I highly recommend you read this book if you are looking for a unique book that's not like all the other romance/new adult books coming out at the moment! I am lucky enough to be part of a blog tour for Tracey Smith this week and I received an advanced copy to read. As usual I will give away a copy as well at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heavenly Hell (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Aria Williams Page; Review: I really enjoyed this book. I found myself engaged throughout the whole novel and really enjoying the story. I loved the paranormal aspect to the story and I thought the storyline was very unique. I could relate to the main characters finishing up high school and just wanting to move on in life. I stepped a bit outside my normal reading genres by reading YA, but sometimes change is good! :) This book is easy to read and enjoyable. It centres on fallen angel Indiana who is stuck in a 17 year old body. There is nothing particularly memorable about the book but I enjoyed the hours I spend reading about Indiana, Nate & their other friends. I will read the rest of the series once it become available. I normally wouldn't read Young Adult books but I liked the paranormal aspect to this book and it didn't disappoint me. I am rating this book 4 stars because I thought it was very entertaining. I would recommend this book for people who are looking for a sweet paranormal romance that is part of a series. I am not sure how many more books there are in this series but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough! I was gifted this ebook by the author in exchange for an honest review and have posted my full entry at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Losing Hope: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: I have to admit I fell really hard for Losing Hope which I have just read 5 months after originally reading Hopeless. It has actually taken me a few days after finishing this book to get this entry written. I was a bit sceptical at first and I didn't think reading Hopeless from Holders point of view could be as good as it was. This is the first time I've read a companion novel, but I have to say I enjoyed this book even more than I did Hopeless. Don't get me wrong, I REALLY liked Hopeless but I LOVED Losing Hope. Even though I knew the story and knew what was going to happen I was still hooked onto this book right from the start. It's not a book that takes a week or two to read. Once you start this book, it has to be finished within a day or two! I definitely recommend that you read Hopeless first then Losing Hope since it will make more sense in that order. I am rating Losing Hope 5 stars since it blew me away. I recommend you read this book if you love New Adult romance books and want to get really emotional for a few days!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 13 British Horror Stories; Author: Visit Amazon's Rayne Hall Page; Review: This collection of short stories is definitely along the lines of the stories I used to read when I was younger, similar to the Max Haines collections that I love. It took me about a week to read this book because each story is short and I could read one or two right before bed. They are very creepy stories, without being horrific or too scary. They stay in your brain long after you have read them! I would definitely read more of Rayne Hall's books, they are worthwhile if you are looking for something that is completely different to what is out there at the moment. Prepare to been creeped out in a good way!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mistress by Tiffany Reisz (2013-05-03); Author: TIFFANY REISZ; Review: I am so excited about The Mistress! It is such an amazing book in an amazing series and I definitely think this is the best series of the year so far. The author, Tiffany Reisz is just brilliant and all of her characters have so much depth and thought put into them. As dysfunctional as the characters are, I wish they were my friends! You do have to be open minded to read these books because they are not just a HEA love story type series. I have to say that these books just keep getting better & better! I can't believe it's over! I am so glad that we are getting more prequel novels from the author!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lightpoints; Author: Peter Kassan; Review: This novel is an interesting book, unlike anything I've ever read. It's a paranormal story about what may happen to people once they get close to death and have a near death experience. It freaked me out a bit that there could be people walking around with a 6th sense. I thought this book was very original and I really enjoyed it. It is not a romance book with a happy ever after. It's something completely different than all the books I've read over the last 10 months and it was a refreshing change. This book doesn't take very long to read but it sticks in your head for a long time afterwards. I am rating this book 4 stars since it had me hooked right from the start and intrigued me throughout the entire book. However, I feel there could have been some more development of the alternate characters (we hear from others with the same 6th sense but their stories are sort of left hanging) or they could have been left out completely and developed in further novels or novellas. All in all, I wasn't bored reading this book and it was very refreshing if not disturbing, which I do enjoy! I would definitely recommend this book and also look forward to reading any other books that Peter Kassan may write.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shine Not Burn; Author: Visit Amazon's Elle Casey Page; Review: This book has all the elements of a fantastic read including Vegas and a smoking hot cowboy! It was an intense but funny book and brought out so many emotions in me. One minute I was laughing and the next I was yelling at the book! I could relate to the characters and feel their sorrow, angst, pain and love. I think because I got married in Vegas last year I could imagine what the characters were going through. I am rating this book 5 stars because I loved it and didn't want to put it down. I couldn't wait to get home to finish reading it. I highly recommend you read this book if you are looking for a fun and sexy book that is a standalone. There are some really funny parts to this book and also some parts that tug at your heartstrings! The book definitely has some surprises and it wasn't at all what I was expecting which is a good thing! I am thrilled to be part of the blog tour because this book is my kind of book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: We Are Made of Stardust; Author: Visit Amazon's Mimi Strong Page; Review: This review is for both Stardust & Starlight because I think they have to be read together. I am really glad I got to read these books even though they took me on an emotional journey from start to finish! There were ups & downs in the story and sometimes I was upset at where it was going but other times I was super happy with it. Whichever way I was feeling, I was hooked & I couldn't stop reading! I just had to know what was going to happen! It took me 3 days to read both books, as soon as I finished the first one I started the 2nd one. I went through a lot of emotions while reading both of these book. I was angry, I was sad, I was confused, I was happy, I was elated, I was thrilled, I was shocked & I was annoyed. Meeting Peaches Monroe is a real roller coaster! She is a sassy, smart girl who isn't quite sure what she wants! You should know that these are the first 2 books of a series of 4 books and they do have cliffhanger type endings. I am rating both of these books 5 stars since I was completely captivated by the characters and cannot wait until the next two books in the series are released! I was part of the Blog Tour for these books and posted this full review at Becs Book Blog .com.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Starlight (Peaches Monroe) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Mimi Strong Page; Review: This review is for both Stardust & Starlight because I think they have to be read together. I am really glad I got to read these books even though they took me on an emotional journey from start to finish! There were ups & downs in the story and sometimes I was upset at where it was going but other times I was super happy with it. Whichever way I was feeling, I was hooked & I couldn't stop reading! I just had to know what was going to happen! It took me 3 days to read both books, as soon as I finished the first one I started the 2nd one.

Title: Walking Disaster; Author: Visit Amazon's Jamie McGuire Page; Review: I LOVED this book! I was drawn in, right from the first chapter (again)! Walking Disaster in my opinion is just as just as good as the first. Six months on from reading the first, it is amazing to be able to re-live the story from Travis's POV. He is such an intense alpha male and a hot fighter to boot! I definitely rate this books 5*'s. I read the book very quickly because once I started reading it, I forgot about everything else that was going on in my life and anything else that I was planning to do. (This is an excerpt from my full entry about this book published at Bec's Book Blog.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beautiful Disaster; Author: Visit Amazon's Jamie McGuire Page; Review: I LOVED this book! I was drawn in, right from the first chapter! I read the whole book in one day! Beautiful Disaster is the story of Travis Maddox and Abby Abernathy told from Abby's point of view. They meet at college and have an intense, dangerous & addictive romance! Travis is such an intense alpha male and a hot fighter to boot! I definitely rate this books 5*'s. I read the book very quickly because once I started reading it, I forgot about everything else that was going on in my life and anything else that I was planning to do. (This is an excerpt from my full entry about this book published at Bec's Book Blog.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Only For You; Author: Visit Amazon's Genna Rulon Page; Review: I was contacted last week by the author about reading this book and I am SO GLAD I decided to read it! It's funny how sometimes reading an email can lead to a couple sleepless nights! I was in the mood for a witty New Adult book and this one fit the bill! I also love books that have mysteries written into them which this one has. I was completely addicted to this book over the 2 days it took me to read it! I haven't stayed up so late 2 nights in a row to read a book in a while! I thought this book was completely unique and dealt with some very serious issues. I loved how the book progressed and I couldn't put it down (well, I did have to once because work got in the way, but you know what I mean). I am rating this book 5 stars because I loved it and because it has all the elements of an amazing New Adult book including swoon worthy male lead character mixed in with secrets and mystery. I am super excited for the next book in the series which is due out in December 2013, so not long to go! It will focus on another couple that also featured heavily in this book. This is an excerpt from my review at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hardwired (The Hacker Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Meredith Wild Page; Review: This book brought out my inner geek! Im a child of the 90s internet generation so to read a romance with a billionaire hacker was a refreshing change! The female lead also was CEO to an internet fashion social media startup! This is my kind of book and I loved it! It is one of those angsty possessive billionaire romances and I couldn't get enough of it! What drew me to read this book was the fact that both main characters were strong, smart & independent! I read this book very quickly because I just couldn't put it down! Its one of those stories that just grabs you and you need to keep reading! Even though this book is in a series it doesnt exactly end on a cliffhanger, you just are curious to find out what happens next! I am rating this book 4.5 stars because I loved the idea of it and I cant wait to continue on in the series with the sequel. Id also love to develop more on the side character relationship of Alli & Heath. I am really happy that I chose to be part of this blog tour! This is one of those series that can only get better and better! I love the idea and premise and cant wait for more! This is an excerpt from my post at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Consumed; Author: Visit Amazon's Skyla Madi Page; Review: Move over Travis Maddox & Remy Riptide Remington, there is a new fighter in town and his name is Seth Marc! Its official, now I have 3 favourite fighters! I loved reading this book Consumed by Skyla Madi. This book had me completely captivated the entire time I was reading it!! Even though its a long book, I read it in one sitting and couldn't get enough of it! I nearly ran out of time to get this book read in time for the blog tour. If it was going to be one of those books that didn't grab me then there was no way I was going to finish. It turns out that there was no way I was NOT going to finish it after I read the first chapter. I am thrilled that I am part of the tour because I loved this book! If you enjoy a good adult romance with an intense alpha male (in this case an MMA fighter) then you will love this book. I especially like that fact that the author is so young and an Australian. She knows her stuff and I can only imagine how good the next books she releases will be! Note that even though there is a next book in the series titled Too Consumed (Consumed #2) which is scheduled for release in December 2013, this book can be read on its own now. The next book will just continue with Seth & Os relationship. I cant wait to see how their story continues on! This is an excerpt from my full post at Bec's Book Blog for the blog tour for Consumed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Billionaire Banker Series Box Set 1-3; Author: Visit Amazon's Georgia Le Carre Page; Review: If you are looking for another great billionaire book then look no further, The Billionaire Banker by Georgia La Carre is your next read! This guy is cold & calculating but I can definitely see him warming up over the rest of the series! The story starts with our billionaire, the deeply mysterious and dazzlingly gorgeous American banker, Blake Law Barrington seeing our heroine Lana Bloom dressed to kill, propositioning one of our heros rich acquaintances. They have the moment when their eyes lock and then our Blake steals her away from her original bachelor by offering her double the money she was asking for. He doesnt care why she wants the money, he just wants her (but he doesnt know why!). That is the not so romantic start to our story, but it had me hooked! I enjoyed the book and thought that even though the story has been told before, this one had some very original ideas! I liked the idea of a girl from the council flats in London meeting a billionaire American banker. They both have their quirks and their secrets and we only start to see through them in this first book of the series. This is a quick easy read from a new author and has all the bits that I love in my books including the angsty male hero and the beautiful heroine. The writing was good and can only be improved upon with the future books that are scheduled! I am rating this book 4 stars because I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. All in all, I really enjoyed this book while I was reading it and I will definitely be reading the next book in the series when it is released in January 2014! This is an excerpt from my review at Bec's Book Blog.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Awakening (Chrysalis); Author: Visit Amazon's Elene Sallinger Page; Review: I am glad to be part of the blog tour for this book Awakening by Elene Sallinger. The blurb had me intrigued enough to want to read it. The story turned out to be different than I thought it would be, but pretty good. It isn't your typical love story it has a lot more elements to it. I thought that this book was going to be really interesting and I wasn't disappointed. I am rating it 4 stars because even though I thought it was good, I thought it could be better. Sometimes I was just thinking get on with it already but all in all I enjoyed the story. This is an excerpt from the full review on the blog tour at Bec's Books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mine (The REAL series); Author: Visit Amazon's Katy Evans Page; Review: This sequel has been one of the most hotly anticipated of the year! I have been looking forward to it so much It is such an amazing read, its one of those cant put down books! I do have to say that I would rate it 4.5 stars since it didn't grab me quite as much as REAL but it still had me. We have known for a little while that there is going to be 5 parts to this series and I to be honest I cant wait for the rest.! It is so amazing that REMY is going to be released in only a few short weeks! I just have to know the story from his point of view! I am thrilled to be a part of the blog tour for this book. I highly recommend the series! You will be hooked in and fall in love with Remy & Brooke straight away. You will love it if you love that alpha male bad boy fighter type book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beautifully Awake; Author: Visit Amazon's Riley Mackenzie Page; Review: I am super excited to be part of the blog tour for Beautifully Awake. I am glad I had a chance to read this book about love in a hospital. The synopsis and cover really drew me in and compelled me to give it a chance! I thought this book was ok and I enjoyed my time while reading it. It is a long book and I did find myself skipping through a few sections. I am giving it 4 stars because I think it could be improved upon with a bit of shortening. I enjoyed the setting and thought the premise was good. I did think that the story jumped around a bit and didn't delve into the characters as much as I would have liked, especially at the beginning. All in all I would say it is a good debut novel from these authors. This book is so close to being just what I am looking for but unfortunately it wasn't completely there, it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. I could see the interaction between the 2 authors and I love the idea of them creating a book together. I like how this book is a standalone book in a series. I think the follow up with Ashers story to be released in 2014 can be amazing. This is excerpt from my blog tour post at Bec's Books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Heart of Falcon Ridge: The McLendon Family Saga Book 1 (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's D.L. Roan Page; Review: I have to say this book is not like anything I have read before. It has MMF themes and you definitely need to be open minded to read these books as they are not for the fainthearted that's forsure! That being said I enjoyed this book and think if you are looking for some quality erotica this is a go!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Remy (The REAL series); Author: Visit Amazon's Katy Evans Page; Review: I have been really looking forward this book and Im so excited that Remy is now out and is just as amazing as the rest in the series! It takes us to places we didn't even know existed in the first 2 books! I loved this book and give it 5 stars just like the rest in the series so far! I highly recommend if you feel like reading about an intense alpha male!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Saint; Author: Visit Amazon's Tiffany Reisz Page; Review: I can't say anything bad about this book because I loved the whole thing. It was great to go back and learn more about Eleanor (Nora) in her teenage years. It switched between the present day and when she was growing up but mainly told in the past. The earlier books in the series gave us Nora today, but this book focuses on what make her her. I loved the intertwining stories with Nico and the glimpses we get of him. I also love how we also get to know more about Sren and their early relationship. I highly recommend you read this book if you've read the first 4 books in The Original Sinners series. This one is a phenomenal 6 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The King (The Original Sinners); Author: Visit Amazon's Tiffany Reisz Page; Review: I could not put this book down! I LOVED it! Each book in this series just get better and better. I think it's probably because we get to know the characters so well. This book focused mainly on Kingsley who we have gotten to know and love over the past 5 books. I loved how we find out why he dresses like he does and the history behind The 8th Circle club. His history is so interesting and his desire to be a father shows throughout the book. We also find out more about Sren which is always interesting. We get glimpses of him meeting Eleanor with Sren introducing her into their lives. It's another 6 star amazing book from this series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hardpressed (Hacker); Author: Visit Amazon's Meredith Wild Page; Review: This is the second book in The Hacker Series by Meredith Wild. I loved the first book Hardwired and can say the same for the 2nd book in the series titled Hardpressed. I really enjoying continuing the story of Blake & Erica. I thought the development of the characters was good and the book kept me interested the whole time. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hardline (Hacker); Author: Visit Amazon's Meredith Wild Page; Review: I really struggled with this book. I took about a year break before this one came out and I had to put it down several times and skim through the sex scenes which I would normally never do. It was a bit too slow for my liking especially after the action of the first 2 in the series. I am giving this one 3 stars because I like the premise and I did read the 4th book after this one because I still want to find out what happens in the rest of the series.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hard Limit (Hacker Series Book 4) (The Hacker Series) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Meredith Wild Page; Review: After the disappointment in book #3, I was hesitant to read this one. I have to admit that I enjoyed this one a lot more than #3. There was action and I didn't find myself skipping through this book as much as the last one. I thought that the relationship between Blake & Erica developed well and I am looking forward to finishing up Blake & Erica's story after book #5. The final book in the series which is called Hard Love should tidy up the series nicely with all the predictable stuff I imagine (ie. kids). I am however looking forward to it which is why I've given #4 a 4 star rating because it has grabbed me enough to read the next one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: St. Nick; Author: Visit Amazon's Alan Russell Page; Review: I read this book during the Christmas holidays and I really enjoyed it. I felt like reading a holiday themed book even though it was Boxing Day. I had the afternoon to just sit back and read which I haven't done in a while. I felt like this book was a great choice because it flowed well and had a fast paced story line. This is probably due to the fact that it was originally released as a Kindle Serial. I loved the fact that Nick was a grumpy old cop who had to dress up like Santa because it was so believable even if a little predictable. I have to say it is an interesting, sad book. Not exactly what I was expecting for a Christmas mystery novel. Although I did enjoy that there were some hard topics within the book. It is definitely not a light hearted Santa tale. I thought it was ok but I wished some parts could have better developed like the blossoming relationship between Nick & Charlotte. Im afraid the romantic element of this story was pretty boring and if you are looking for a romantic themed book then don't read this one. It was almost as if Nicks love interest was just put in afterwards. All in all I enjoyed the holiday read and I am rating this story 4 stars. The story might not stick with me until next year but the effects of the book will.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Silkworm (A Cormoran Strike Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Galbraith Page; Review: Bec's Books one sentence review: I looked forward to this book and was not disappointed with a better acquaintance and liking for Strike and his thorough detective abilities in this faster paced follow up.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cuckoo's Calling (Cormoran Strike); Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Galbraith Page; Review: Bec's Books one sentence review: A descriptive British type mystery that kept me hooked and listening throughout the whole drama filled increasingly intense life of private detective Cormoran Strike.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Magician's Lie: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Greer Macallister Page; Review: Bec's Books 'one sentence review': This historically set book kept me spellbound throughout it while I was trying to figure out what was real in the life of the master illusionist. I am giving this book 5 stars because I thought it was well written and captivating.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gone Girl; Author: Visit Amazon's Gillian Flynn Page; Review: I read (well listened to on audible) this book a little while back in November 2014 just before it was released as a movie and I loved it! It is a crazy ride with lots of twists and turns. A psychological thriller at its best. My one sentence review: I wished I could get inside their heads and shake them as they seemed like a couple made for each other in more ways than one. I give this book 5 stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Legacy; Author: Visit Amazon's Melissa Delport Page; Review: Now for something completely different! This is the first dystopian novel that I have read in a long time and I was thoroughly engrossed in it. I was living with the characters in their future world through the whole story. The author Melissa Delport definitely has a way of making you feel like you are right in the middle of a movie! I was persuaded to read this book when deciding between whether to read Melissa Delports other book Rainfall or The Legacy Trilogy first (I knew I was going to read one of them!). I did a promo for Rainfall recently (here) and I really wanted to read it as well (its contemporary womens fiction). In the end, I decided to read The Legacy first when the publisher said: if you prefer something more fast-paced with some excellent action scenes then go for The Legacy (the characters really get under your skin). Ok, that sold me, time to read the blurb and what a blurb it is! My Review of The Legacy When I was initially emailed by the authors publishing company about joining the blog tour for this book, I was persuaded to join because I thought it looked interesting and different to anything else I have been reading lately. The book and the series was promoted to me as a Hunger Games for adults which drew me in because not only have I recently watched the first 2 movies in that series, one of my work colleagues had just read the Hunger Games books and was raving to me about them and discussing the difference between the books and the movies. This series seems better to me is because I prefer adult rather than teenage or young adult main characters. I love that this series has a strong adult female lead character named Rebecca (the fact that she is so strong and has the same name as me influenced didn't influence my enjoyment of the story ). This book isn't classified as an adult book in that it has descriptive sex in it, it is classified adult because the main characters are adults. There is some implied sex and definitely some romance to the story which makes it more interesting (in my opinion) than if it didn't have the romance element to it, however thats not what the story is mainly about. That being said, I really enjoyed The Legacy and I loved the storyline. It was right up my alley with regards to stories I would normally love in TV shows (I love Star Trek, Stargate, X-files, Buffy and those genres of shows and movies). I did feel like I was watching a movie or watching a TV series the whole time I was reading this book which I believe the author intended. I am looking forward to the rest of the series because I cant wait for the resolution of some of the story lines. I am giving this book 5 stars because I enjoyed the storyline, the style of writing and it had me gripped throughout.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Great Zoo Of China; Author: Howard Hughes; Review: My one sentence review: A quick page turning read with a female lead that took me on a wild Jurassic Park type ride and shook me around! This book is getting 4 stars from me due to the descriptions of the dragon theme park which had me imagining I was there with them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ugly Love: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: I love everything Colleen Hoover writes and this is the first book by her that Ive listened to on Audible. Im excited to hear that Ugly Love is going to be a movie, scroll down to see the gorgeous cast! My one sentence review: I loved the back and forth perspectives from both Tate & Miles and the first part of the book still resonates with me but I am having a hard time remembering the second half. I give this book 4 stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Finding Cinderella: A Novella; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Hoover Page; Review: I enjoyed this companion novella and learning more about Daniel but the story definitely hasn't stayed in my head like Holder and Sky's story so I am only giving it 4 stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Curing Doctor Vincent: The Good Doctor Trilogy, Book #1 - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Renea Mason Page; Review: The story starts off just like the 'Story of O' which I really enjoyed but then takes us on a very interesting journey of 2 people falling in love. I thought the whole book was great and I loved how the depth of a characters was revealed along the way to a great conclusion I am giving this book 4.5 stars because I really enjoyed listening to it and I will definitely read the next book in the series. I am not yet sure who the next books will feature. All in all an enjoyable listen to a well written take on a classic.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Murder House; Author: Visit Amazon's James Patterson Page; Review: This was a great book to listen to while doing housework. I like how it kept me guessing with all the twists & turns. Great if you're in the mood for a mystery.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Heart Goes Last: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Atwood Page; Review: I have to say I enjoyed this weird read. I don't normally like books where I don't actually like one of the main characters. I thought the morals of the characters were terrible but it fit the books story so it's alright. It was not at all what I was expecting it would be like but I got into it and needed to find out what happens to Stan and Charmaine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Them : Adventures With Extremists; Author: Visit Amazon's Jon Ronson Page; Review: This is my 2nd favourite book of Jon's. The extremists that let him into their lives are off in another world sometimes and it's amazing to hear how he wiggles his way into their lives over the course of sometimes year. It was very interesting going back to the 90's and 00's with extremists, doesn't feel like 15 years ago though. Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Men Who Stare at Goats; Author: Visit Amazon's Jon Ronson Page; Review: This one was made into a movie which a lot of people have seen. It's what put Jon Ronson on the 'book map' and is very interesting and completely unbelievable but believable. I really struggled with the narrator not being Jon himself as the last 4 books I listened to by him were.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lost at Sea: The Jon Ronson Mysteries; Author: Visit Amazon's Jon Ronson Page; Review: I loved the part where he makes himself into different personalities to see what kind of advertising junk mail each personality gets. Its fascinating and engrossing and definitely worth a listen.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: So You've Been Publicly Shamed; Author: Visit Amazon's Jon Ronson Page; Review: This is the newest of Jon Ronsons books and up there with my favourites. I noticed it up for a Goodreads Choice award this year so I voted for it. When oh when Jon will you release another book?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Frank: The True Story That Inspired the Movie; Author: Visit Amazon's Jon Ronson Page; Review: This one is shorter than the rest and more about Jons own history. He uses his witty style to remember the days he was in a band with Frank. It was also made into a movie and its very clever! Loved it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Liar; Author: ; Review: Looking back at my Goodreads status reviews I can see that for the first half I was addicted to listening to this book. The book slowed down in the middle, then picked up again near the end. I would say that it's a bit predictable based on the title but it was fairly suspenseful and engaging through most of it. I'll classify this a beach read. 4 stars!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Life or Death: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Robotham Page; Review: I loved listening to this one (even with the male narrator sometimes creating an 'interesting' southern woman's voice). The story is an 'unfolding' one which can be slightly confusing at times but seems to clear up a few minutes later. The main character is the likeable Audie who escapes from prison the day before he's meant to be released from a 10 year armed robbery jail sentence. I loved how the story started to make more sense as I went along. Gripping & great, 5 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Stranger; Author: Visit Amazon's Harlan Coben Page; Review: The blurb originally grabbed me because it sounds so unique and scary. It's one of those everyday occurrences, speaking to stranger, but what if they, with only a few words, destroy your life? That's what happens in this book. Some characters get a tap on the shoulder from the stranger. Our hero, with help from his 2 sons tries to unravel the mystery of why the stranger told him such a devastating secret. The plot is somewhat believable even if it sometimes seems unrealistic. I read this book in a day (mainly because I was at the airport & on a 17 hour flight) so I had the benefit of being completely engrossed. I think some characters could have been better developed but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. I give it 4.5 stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Kildonan Lodge Hotel; City: Edinburgh Scotland; Review: I actually stayed there in 1998, before this site existed, but that wasn't a choice in the drop-down menu. We stayed in the "big green room" in the picture and it was spacious and luxurious. Breakfast was outstanding, the hosts were gracious and friendly, their white Golden Retriever Beth was your instant best friend--it's basically everything you want a B&B to be. Only drawback is that it was a very long walk into Edinburgh proper, but there is a convenient bus that takes only a few minutes. It was nice to "get away" from the bustle after traipsing around all day.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Black Swan Inn; City: York North Yorkshire England; Review: Our B&B proprietor recommended this pub and it didn't disappoint! Yorkshire pudding was amazing, as was steak and stilton pie, and portions were enormous (and reasonably priced). Took a picture of the table before we ate, just to show people how much food we got. Staff is friendly and casque beer is local and tasty.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Nadler Liverpool; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: I hate staying in the same-old, same-old types of hotels, which is why I shoot for boutiques or B&Bs when possible. In Liverpool, I couldn't find a satisfactory "family" option for either, so I went with this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised--it appears to be a standard hotel, but the service is very professional and courteous and the rooms are contemporary and interesting, making great use of what could be insufficient space under other circumstances. They don't do food, so we picked up breakfast supplies from the Tesco down the street and stored them in the fridge. Our loft was very cool, with mood lighting, remote-controlled two-story curtains, etc. Just a few blocks from the action on the Mersey, too, but not in a "busy" (i.e. loud) area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brussels Welcome Hotel; City: Brussels; Review: First of all, let me say that there was a mix-up with our reservation, and the hotel didn't have the correct days recorded for our stay (not blaming anyone, I think this was an email snafu). BUT they were very gracious and accommodating about it, helping us find alternate lodging one block away for the one night they couldn't take us. The Egyptian Suite was incredible--spacious (even for American, much less Europe) for our four-member family and sumptuous blue velvet and gold trim draperies everywhere. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was quirky yet provided everything we needed. Staff was very friendly and truly made us feel "welcome," especially Mr. Smeester, the owner, who was a ball of energy, smiles and good humor. He has big addition plans for the hotel, so we will definitely stay there during our next visit to Brussels! Big buffet breakfasts, too, and terrific coffee!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tulipa Bed Breakfast; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: We stayed in two places while in Amsterdam, and this one was much more centrally located--we could walk everywhere! The owners are a British/Dutch couple and complement each other perfectly. Very genial hosts and full of advice of what to do/where to go. She even recommended a local brewery I wouldn't have found otherwise. Our kids loved the two-story room and DVD library and both breakfasts we had were excellent!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cote Canal; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: Friends in Brussels were worried that we would run out of things to do with two days in Bruges. Well, I wish we had traded one of the Brussels days for another day here, especially if it meant staying in Cote Canal (which is indeed, right on a canal). Caroline is incredible, and born to the role of hostess. She knows everything about Bruges (being a lifelong resident, and still living in the family house), will draw you maps galore, and is terrifically pleasant and enthusiastic, which is more than I could say for us after some of those long days of sightseeing. She made up a room special for our boys and us and continued to worry that it wasn't perfect. If you're at all a dog person, you're in for a treat: her rescue dog Molly is adorable and her older lab Fidel is something of a local celebrity, hanging out the canal window all day--you can even see him in the opening scenes of "In Bruges." Bottom line: book well in advance, as I'm sure this is one sought-after location.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Ewing Princeton South; City: Ewing New Jersey; Review: I'd never stayed in a Springhill Suites before, but would definitely seek one out again. The rooms are super comfortable, very well-designed and almost Asian in their simplicity and functionality. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, too, providing a map for my evening run and a bag of lollipops for my kids back home.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Inn Suites; City: Savannah Georgia; Review: For the money, this is a very nice hotel for a night or two. We slept very well, it was clean and had a good shower. The complimentary breakfast sustained us through lunch. The only downside is, while it's still in Savannah, it's about 15 minutes from the historic district, but it's an easy straight shot and you'll save about 50% by staying "outside of town."; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Huntley Lodge; City: Big Sky Montana; Review: I requested a third-floor room when I booked three months before our stay. When we arrived, they couldn't find the request and put us in a first-floor room. Every day of our four-day stay I asked to be moved and every day we were told the lodge was full. Long story short: we heard every step, stride, tiptoe, shifting in bed and apparent pogo stick tournament the people above us engaged in, beginning at 5:30 am. A phone call directly to the room did little to quiet their elephantine gait, and we suspect the amplified creakiness it's just a function of the age of the lodge itself. The rest of the hotel is very comfortable, with ubiquitous fireplaces and a hearty breakfast buffet. And very convenient to the lifts. One more piece of advice: all the pillows and comforters are filled with down, so if you're allergic, request a foam pillow in advance or bring your own. It was a bit of an ordeal to get a couple for our room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hemlock Inn; City: Blowing Rock North Carolina; Review: The staff is exceedingly nice and accommodating. Location and parking are very convenient. But for what you get (a basic, tiled room that opens right to the outside), I thought $150 was kinda high. No breakfast, but there are a few options within walking distance.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Pomme D amour; City: Honfleur Calvados Basse Normandie Normandy; Review: Sophie and Sebastien are unfailingly gracious and seem born to this type of work, although they don't make it seem like work. My family of four stayed here two nights and wished it comprised more of our trip as it was the definitive highlight. Our teenage sons took their own room next to ours, which had its own jacuzzi. When Sophie found out one of our sons was a musician, she even lent him a guitar to play in his room. The whole place is both modern and vintage, which suits our traveling style perfectly. Photo opps abound all around the grounds. Sebastien's breakfast was different each morning and carried us through past lunch. Don't forget to get some of his homemade jam on your way out, either! One last thing--while Honfleur is a great walking port town, take Sebastien's advice and drive 40 minutes north to Etretat, where you can see the cliffs Monet painted over and over. Bonus tip: go in afternoon so you can see them at sunset.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Halo Screen Protector Film Clear Matte (Anti-Glare) for Apple Ipad Mini & Ipad Mini Retina (3-Pack); Brand: Halo; Review: I am a big screen protector person and have tried many different brands and styles. I really like this style of anti-glare screen protectors. The good: It's very good at protecting the screen from finger prints, scratches and grease. This product also does a really good job not showing finger prints where most touched areas are. The anti glare really is the shining feature of these screen savers. It makes it way easier to see in a over lit room without glare. There are very good and clear instructions on how to apply properly and a great video that can be viewed to make it clear. The bad: this product is not for everyone. It has a limited viewing angle, and due to the type of protection it gives, it does make the screen just a hue darker than other forms of screen protectors. It's also noted that it provides privacy that can be a good thing but when multiple people are watching, causes some issues in viewing angles. (though most people will not have wide viewing angles.) I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is looking for screen protector of any product they have.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Headphone Adapter Earphone Double Connector Audio Charger Splitter Aux Dual Adaptor; Brand: DMDFJY; Review: exactly what I needed. Easy to put on easy to use.

Title: El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel; City: Mazatlan Pacific Coast; Review: We were there with other couples and did not do the booking myself and without reading tripadvisor. Anyhow the hotel was well kept and thank god we were recommended by a powerful travel advisor here from Signature travel. Her emails made a huge difference. The food was ok, the hotel was in the middle of the town so it was a resort type per say. The beach was nice but what I unable to tolerate any longer was the vendor on the beach. They were there all the time stuck with glue to the beach, so we had to go far from the hotel to relax. I understand that these vendors have a living to do but it is truly unbearable. The food at the buffet of the beach was always the same, not a change in menu for the whole week. Entertainment was ok. Pretty basic. The service was somehow a bit rude at time specially at exchange office were you were treated as pest because you were changing money? Weird to say the least. Overall the experience was fine but not to return again. Not my style.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominican Republic; Review: The service was amazing and specially the restaurants. The beach was ok since in Punta Cana all beaches are basically the same. Rooms were very clean and fridges were always full. We tried the others hotels within the Bahia Principe resorts but there was no comparison. The Ambar offes you the top notch services you expect from a 5 stars hotel. Will definetly go again for sure!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka an; City: Akumal Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Part One so far we are still here until end of the month. The problem is that no restaurant has Air conditionning. Even the rooms are very hot and I was talking to different managers and they are avoinding to turn the air on to save money. IN A 5 STAR HOTEL. The food is ok but the service is really excellent. The staff is even complainning of the heat in the restaurants. I will keep you posted by the day. We arrived on Sunday evening. The brochure displays all restaurant with AC.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: El Minzah Hotel; City: Tangier Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: We were there on a 10 day tour of Morocco. I have been previously in this hotel, where all major actors and celebrities have stayed. Like Humphry Bogard, Rock Hudson, Liza Minellii, Rex Harrisson, Clark Gable, and other old and new celebrities. Very classy and I beleive it is the only hotel I know where all the staff wears differents uniform " a l'ancienne". A typical hotel not to be missed if your are in Tangiers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The hotel is very big and takes sometime to get to different areas.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Viva Wyndham Tangerine An All Inclusive Resort; City: Cabarete Puerto Plata Province Dominican; Review: THIS HOTEL IS TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST This hotel is listed as a 4 stars resort. How far from the reality could you be, to believe this. I have travelled around the world and staid at many hotels and resorts. I have to say that this one is by far one of the worst or the worst I have ever staid in. To begin I would say that the location is in the middle of nowhere. The reception area reminds me of a rundown 1 star hotel. The greeting from the staff was so cold and arrogant that it puts you in a rather awkward position. You don’t know what to do: do I scream, do I yell or do I shut up? They were telling me things as “your voucher is not good so room for you” even though it was attached to the invoice from the online retailer. Anyhow I was able to make them understand that it was ok and that was all I had. The room: I asked and paid for an Ocean View room which I got. What was my surprise when I saw the glass door of the shower OPAQUE. I am not exaggerating. The cleaning lady was in the hallway and I called immediately to clean it but her answer was “Oh that the way it is” (?!) I asked her ( In Spanish) very firmly to clean it with javex or whatever she had and to leave it transparent! It took her at least 20 minutes but she finally got it. The door of the balcony was inoperable. I tried to open it but it was stuck, so I had to call the front desk for help. They never came so I managed to open it myself. It was all rusted! As for the view? A piece of ocean and trees and more trees….. I asked for another room but they claimed that the hotel was full! What a lie! The hotel was half empty. I asked the staff around and they all confirmed it so when I went back to the front desk they laughed at me! Needless to say that I was furious! The bathroom is old and all towels hangers are rusted. See pictures. My son’s room was much bigger than ours but the bath tub had NO KNOBS! So he couldn’t enjoy the Jacuzzi. So much for the Jacuzzi! The shower was rusted and old! The toilet wouldn’t flush and I called a few times for repairs. What a mess. The food: Terrible, terrible, terrible! The first 3 days I was eating salads during the day and eggs in the morning. That was the only thing edible. It was only by the fourth day that the food at the buffet started to improve. The Mexican is a joke: they serve a fish filet with a “ sauce maison”. The fish was dry and at my surprise the “ sauce maison” was ketchup! I just blew up and called the chef. His answer: that’s all we have as sauce”.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Bavaro Princess All Suites Resort Spa Casino; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominica; Review: To begin with: The Flight: The flight was delayed by 12 hours. We were supposed to leave at 6:30 in the morning but we ended up leaving at 7:45 PM ! by the time we got there it was 1 AM so we lost the first day of our holiday! In spite of our anger and frustration Sunwing could not care less at all! They thought that by giving us $75 towards our next trip with them it would keep us happy. Far from it! Last time I travel with Sunwing! The plane (according to the Sunwing rep) had a problem. There was no other plane to replace the one stranded in Bahamas, and not the first time it happened! I was told they have 29 planes but they dramatically reduce this number down because of low season. So why not leave 1 or 2 planes to replace any other in trouble. That`s poor management! The checking: The checking went ok and the people at the front desk were nice considering the time of the night. Once in the room we encountered minor problems that were quickly solved, like shower drain blocked, safe was locked but all this was nothing. The room: The room was excellent although the mattress was hard like a rock. We just came back and my whole lower back hurts! We had Full suite and some of our friend had Platinum. NO DIFFERENCE at all! Water pressure is low in second floor. My son had a room on the first floor and I can tell you that shower was so good! In our room (second floor) it would take over an hour to fill the Jacuzzi! Room service was good; they really cleaned the best they could considering the hotel is so big! The air conditioned worked well. No complains there! Food! My god! From all the 5 stars resorts I have been, this is the worse I have been when it comes to food! It was so hot that the cheeses were melting in front of you. The food was always the same at the buffet, whether the main buffet or at the Chopin. The latter was better in the sense that selection and quality was better. A lot of people were rude to the staff but they were doing the best they could. Depending the restaurant we went the staff behaved differently but tips made the difference! That’s all it takes! There are 6 restaurants but on only 2 at a time are open. We were a group of 14 and every time we tried to set up a table for all of us the staff would object with any excuse for us to sit separately! Insane! The waiters were really trying to do the best they could. Reserving a table was out of the question for them but the moment I showed some muscle (way of speaking) and in Spanish I got basically whatever I wanted! But truthfully there was no need of this. So good luck to reserve a table, it is on a; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Atlas Rif Front Beach Tanger; City: Tangier Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: Excellent Hotel with very friendly staff and the decor is amazing. Very elegant in spite of what some people would say I spent my youth in this hotel with friends every week end I remember the pianist and his name was Bob Robertson at the time in the late 70's but today no more pianist but the ground are impeccable The management was every where attending customer The rooms were very clean and renovated The view to the beach was astounding; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Sunset Princess All Suites Resort; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: To begin: The attention at the front desk for the VIP Platinum was unbelievably smooth and elegant. We were set aside due to the upgrade and we had our own front desk at the Platinum.Our own beach our restaurant free WiFi every where.The room was very big with 2 Jacuzzi, one in the balcony and the other in the large bathroom. Breakfast every morning was a la Carte and we didn't need any reservation for ANY restaurants. as a matter of fact I would tell the front desk of the platinum that i wanted to go to such restaurant and they would do the necessary. At the convened time the bogey was waiting for for us at the lobby: ONLY for us. I somewhat felt embarrassed because the driver wouldn't take anybody else. The food was incredibly good and tasty. They would even prepare a meal that was not in the menu ! The platinum section had its own private beach and bar. The only thing that was not really good is the beach that had lots of rocks but once you go a bit farther it was OK. Overall the Best hotel so far! The staff was eager to look after you in any way possible to make you feel a like a King! As for the room it was perfect. The bed was high quality and very comfortable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atlas Rif Front Beach Tanger; City: Tangier Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: I was there for a week and I noticed a big difference in the rooms. A lot of them have not been renovated in spite of getting the 306 or 510 with sea view. The problem is the WiFi that is non existent in the room compared to my previous stays. I usually go every 3 months to this hotel. The staff has changed and no longer the same. They cater to the customer but some young and inexperienced staff should not be at the front desk. The entrance hasn't been done for quite a while and the side walk is unfinished therefore it is dangerous when you walk on it. Also the hotel has changed its name and is no longer called Rif & Spa rather Hotel Rif Beach. Breakfast has changed also and is very limited with no variety. The hotel advertises Free Parking. NOT TRUE at all. Parking is at your own risk on the side streets and good luck to find one at night. I will be looking for another hotel in my next stay in Tangier.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Grand Sunset Princess All Suites Resort; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Well I surprised my wife with a second trip to this hotel! And nothing but good things about this hotel. Service is the best ! Food is great! The hotel itself is very well maintained, the garden, the pools ( overthought I don't go to the pools but rather to the beach) Everything! The staff is so cooperative when ever you need something. Of course a tip goes a long way. What should be controlled is the amount of alcohol some people drink thus getting drunk from the wee hours of the morning! thankfully these are isolated cases! I am recommending my daughter and kids to go since they have an unbelievable kids section! something we didn't have when my children where small!! We were in the Platinum section therefore it was a higher standard.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hideaway At Royalton Riviera Cancun; City: Puerto Morelos Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We have travelled to many places in the world, yet I never had such a wonderful service nor I have seen a better place or hotel than this one. The service was impeccable. In all aspects. The grounds were kept immaculate to every details. From the beginning to the end. The private lobby for the Hideway at the Diamond club was personalized to each and every one. The manager Claudia came to greet us personally and we were assigned a Butler by the name of Yalma. She planned our days in advance for all activities making sure that every thing went according to the plan. From our breakfast to lunch and dinner at every restaurant. Our beach beds were ready every morning and the waiters were careful with every detail. Obviously tips went a long way. Our rooms were groomed with flowers and wine and tray of cheese. Rooms were done twice a day and prepared for the evening. By prepared I mean the beds were done differently at night than during the day. There were changing bed sheets every other day, something I haven’t seen in any resort. I call this “being pampered” like newly wed!! We were in the adult section although there is the Royalton for families right next to us. It really upset me when I see people not caring about the grounds at night when they get drunk. But there is not much we can do. Some people don't know how to behave! If you go during the month of July and August don't forget your mosquitos repellant!! The food was exceedingly extraordinary. All restaurants were good so to single out any one would be difficult. I would say that the “Grazie” and the “Opa” had and an edge over the other ones. The buffet was excellent and the choice in food was tremendous whether breakfast or lunch ( we never went for dinner) When I went to any restaurant where the reservation were done they new right away my name to my great surprise. They really make you special ! So I thank everybody from Claudia, Yalma our butler, Eric, Rody and the rest at the beach, for their dedicated service and attention towards us. I would definitely go back!! Thank you all for this wonderful vacation!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Estival Torrequebrada; City: Benalmadena Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: I remember this hotel from the late seventies! It was very nice, classy and with the first casino of the Costa del Sol. Been there many times but never under the new management. Unfortunately we were not greated very well at the reception desk and we were refused a room with a double bed. We were told had we booked directly with them we would have gotten a better room. I was amazed at this remark. Nevertheless the cleaning lady was very helpful and made our stay more enjoyable. Rooms are old and lets not even talk about the bathrooms, they really need some renovation. The tourism that this hotel caters to is low budget. I know everyone deserves to travel and enjoy a trip but the attitude of the people is below what one can expect.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gran Cervantes by Blue Sea; City: Torremolinos Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: I was young when this hotel was inaugurated and came back many times over. It is old and need some renovation. The management has a serious problem handling young crowd when they get drunk. They are afraid to confront them. A s a matter of fact the guys from the room across mine were so drunk on St Patrick night that they were playing with the fire extinguisher in the room. The mess in and outside the room was terrible and yet nothing was done. The bathrooms are old and some of the faucets dont even work. Sorry but wont go back again. The only positive point is the parking and location. Breakfast is the same every morning with no variance! Will not go back for sure!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

But the most of all, the both layers of the case on the back case and rubber parts weren't fitting each other very well with the phone SamSung Galaxy Note5.

Title: Bayer Advantage II Flea Prevention for Cats; Brand: Bayer Animal Health; Review: WOW...This stuff cost a little more than the PET ARMOR we were buying at Wally World(MART) but THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS ! That Pet Armor is a WASTE OF $25 AND IS GARBAGE ! I even wrote to Pet Armor,mailed the package with receipt and told them it does NOTHING other than kill money in MY WALLET and I want a REFUND...they never even responded so pay the extra money for a product that WORKS...your cats are worth it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Oster Sunny Seat Window-Mounted Cat Bed, 50 Pounds (034264445611); Brand: Oster; Review: Terrible CHEAPLY made JUNK that even if it were sold at a generic dollar store it would be OVERPRICED for the lack of quality. The suction cups DO NOT HOLD all the time and our elderly cat fell to the ground while he was asleep when the suction cup let go even after double checking to make sure it was as secure as it could be and the window was cleaned and dried so it is NOT something we did wrong! The cat fell so hard in a dead sleep that he just laid there crying for about 3 minutes and now he is limping ! It has been 2 hours and he will NOT or can NOT even sit without crying and he is in PAIN and it is SUNDAY night and can not get him to the VET for X-Rays until the morning!!! This product is NOT WORTH RISKING THE SAFETY OF YOUR BELOVED CATS...I HOPE OUR CAT DOES NOT HAVE BROKEN BONES FROM THIS FALL. The box even reads,"AS SEEN ON TV" which told me it is a JOKE but thought we have about $30 plus tied up in this already so we would try it and not our older kitty is suffering as type this and he is shaking . The OTHER part of this terrible deal is that the VIDEO and pictures CLEARLY show much thicker HEAVY GAUGE WIRE with big "S"Hooks and they so NOT have the same system....It has a cheap plastic part you push through the hole and turn it and that will hold these THEY THINK? Why show the HOOKS with heavy gauge wire then send cheap wire that looks like KITE STRING and NO "S" Hook system. That "AS SEEN ON TV" tells it all and they should show on TV how the suction cups DO LET GO AND FALL OFF the window with your prized cat sitting on it.....Oh and one last KICK in the eat of the pants.....They say that the PADDED seat IS SOLD EXTRA and not INCLUDED so you get just the cheap piece of material with NO substance or padding !!!!!!!!!!!! I may just send them BOTH BACK...I GOT STUNG TWICE!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Sacred Hart; Author: Visit Amazon's A.M. Johnson Page; Review: I was honored to receive an ARC of SACRED HART for an honest review. Th minute I began to read Ryan's story...I immediately wanted to hug him. As a young and married man, he and his wife struggled financially but that he felt they had it all. On a night, as a Paramedic, he was called to a scene. When he got to the scene....we'll....it changed his life completely. Ten years later, Ryan arrives to a place that, to him, would be perfect, because he would be somewhere that it didn't remind him of his past. One day, he sees Beth. She reminds him of his daughter. Then, he meets Maggie, Beth's mom. She makes an impression on him. After spending time with Maggie, he begins to fall for Maggie. This surprises him because he feels that he should not have a second chance on love. He struggles with this second chance. He is not sure if he's even worthy of her love. He closes himself so that, perhaps, Maggie loses interest in him. I don't want to spoil the story for you....you'll need to read to find out what happens with Ryan, Maggie, and Beth.

Title: 2 Pack - GE 19 Count Twinkling LED Ice Crystal Icicle Set - Total 38 Count; Brand: GE; Review: These lights hang from a hook which is pushed under the shingles, the top of the plastic ice crystal has a hole where the light string goes inside. When it was raining out the rain coming off the roof went directly into the hole and filled up the inside of the crystal THERFORE shorting out all the LED's. This was evident by the black ash inside the crystal and the fact the fuses kept blowing out!! I purchased three here on Amazon and returned one because it did not work when I received it.

Next year will buy a sombrero to go with the eggs and be "huevos rancheros" and nunchucks and a karate belt for the bacon and go as "pork chop" or if cold outside, wrap a blanket around shoulders and call it "pigs in a blanket".; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: v28 Women's Patterns Reindeer Snowman Tree Snowflakes Christmas Sweater Cardigan; Brand: v28; Review: We bought this for my daughter who needed an "ugly sweater" for theme party she was attending. It was perfect for her because she is kind of shy and couldn't pull off an extremely "ugly sweater" that has lights, etc. The price was extremely reasonable for a one day use kind of thing, shipping was super fast and the sweater turned out to be so warm and soft that she has worn it around the house on chilly days since the party.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hotel Benidorm Plaza; City: Benidorm Costa Blanca Province of Alicante Valencian Country; Review: Booked this as part of a last minute package deal. Having not been to Benidorm before, didn't know what to expect. Rooms were modern, clean, good shower, comfy bed, and a safe that is charged @ €2 per day. Centrally Located on the edge of the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to the New Town, perfect for us. We were full board, but only ate breakfast in the hotel, tried dinner once, poor, not a lot of choice or quality. We ate out all the time. Hotel was busy with Spanish, it's a carnival time for them, I felt the menu was catered more for them. Would I stay here again, for the location yes, rooms were good, food/restaurant is what let it down.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Normandy Hotel; City: Renfrew Renfrewshire Scotland; Review: Stayed in the Normandy on a previous occasion, was disappointed then, and again this time. I emailed the hotel a couple of weeks prior to arrival, to ask for a larger room, the first time round, the room was no more than a shoe box. It was the only good part. Trying to find a parking space was a nightmare, round and round, no parking spaces. After 3 separate attempts, the hotel reception finally told us to leave it out front. Dinner in the restaurant is poor quality, a thrown together menu, with sour faced staff, not a great start to your holiday. A little tip to the owners, you have a potential gold mine, guests in your hotel the night before there holiday, have money to spend, revamp your Bar area, Revamp the restaurant menu, lie mood lighting, soft music, ding ding, more money in the till.. Win Win; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pullman Liverpool; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Booked 2 rooms for an over night with our friend. Hotel lovely trendy interior, reception/bar/restaurant areas, well cared for. Checkin was swift, its done on a tablet. Rooms nicely done, bathroom and shower wonderful! The windows don't open, I like to feel the fresh air, thought the room would be okay as there is air con, ours didn't work. Woke up in the middle of the night gasping for breath, the heat in the room was unbearable. Hence the comment about the window! Spoilt the hotel experience. Car parking 50 yards away, you get a voucher from the hotel to claim 25% off your parking.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Crown Hotel; City: Long Melford Babergh District Suffolk East Anglia England; Review: Stayed over night on business. Room was large but basic, needs brought up to date. We did sleep really well though. Breakfast, not much to choose from, but the cooked breakfast was prepared to perfection and delicious. We had dinner in the restaurant, it was ok, but nothing special. Staff were nice, but wouldn't stay again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sandos Benidorm Suites; City: Benidorm Costa Blanca Province of Alicante Valencian Country; Review: Booked this last minute, what a bargain. Hotels lovely, public areas fab. Rooms are a good size with a nice separate sitting area & big balcony looking over the pool. As we booked last minute, we weren't fussed for the All Inclusive aspect, and Although we didn't rate the food, you could always throw something together. Drinks were okay quality too. We ate out lots, but you could see that other guests were having there money's worth, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, ( biscuits & sweeties ) then Dinner & late night snacks, And why not, it's what it's there for, You won't go hungry Wifi throughout the Hotel is free and brilliant. I can see why guests return again & again, the staff are mostly jolly! It's a 10 minute stroll to the seafront, 15 minutes back up hill. Everything you need on your doorstep. I am sure we return soon 😊; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Glasgow; City: Glasgow Scotland; Review: Booked this hotel for a last minute break. Booked into Ex room, that gives you lounge access. Free tea/coffee/soft drinks & nibbles all day, then bottled beer/wine & hot nibbles for 2 hours each night. Was it worth the extra money, not really! Hotel is clean, modern and staff galore. Lots of restaurant & reception staff. Room was modern with a comfy bed, good shower, and mini bar. Had dinner in the restaurant one night, it was poor. Menu not got a lot of choice. Breakfast was help yourself and plentiful. Lots to choose from. Would we stay again, yes we would, not too far from the Shops/Bars/Restaurants of the city 😊; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Tusan Beach Resort; City: Kusadasi Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: A lovely hotel just outside the main town of Kusadasi. However a Dolmus ride ( Dolmus No 1) from just outside the hotel takes no more than 5-7 minutes to bring you to the city centre. ON the flip side it is better as you are close to the airport and ancient town of Efes. The resort has all modern amenities and one of the few hotels in the area which has an actual private beach where you can lie down and soak in the sun..We booked an all inclusive stay which included all meals( Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner,Tean Drinks). Although the menu gets repetitive at time it is still lovely to sample different tastes and is a gourmet's delight.The rooms are clean. Book for a sea view to get a lovely sea sight. All rooms have balconies. The toilets and bathrooms are large and spacious with all ammenities and good quality of toileteries.The hote. Our room hadonly one telephone in the toilet so perhaps the hotel can do by putting phones in the rooms as well and having a little more storage space in form of drawers. Along with a double bed room had a sofa which was very comfortable There are various shops in the hotel selling various stuff like t shirts,jewellery ,fake watches( you can get a fake Rolex at 15 Euro and Louis Vuitton bag at about 50 Euros. Shops in the city centre will get you the same at a much cheaper price.There is a photo studio where you can buy items, burn you photos on a CD/DVD or get yourself clicked. Theie service is excellent and quite handy if you have run out of space on your memory card for more photos.Make your stay memorable by getting yourself clicked by the photographer there. He will be happy to help and does some quality clicking.The staff is friendly and helpful. A2B services have a pick and drop facilty at the hotel and you can book their services for an airport drop/pickup. You would be picked up/ dropped off at the hotel itself rather than some other place from where you need to travel again to the resort. A great resort and good place to unwind and relax; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: VIP Hotel; City: Singapore; Review: A nice and clean room, OK breakfast and walking distance from the metro station. A 8-10 minute walk from the metro station into a small lane brings you to VIP Hotel, The rooms are big, comfortable bed and clean and large bathrooms is the order of the day.Taxis are available round the clock, The breakfast is nothing great-regular toast,preserves,tea/coffee/juice . A swimming pool whic is good enough to unwind after a long day or better still to dive in the morning. Check inn and Check out was great and fast. You can leave your luggage even after check out and go around town only to come back and collect it later.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Istanbul Ora; City: Istanbul; Review: A good business hotel with all modern amenities. Nice and comfy room, decent bathroom, good bed although might be small for a tall people. Does have a good breakfast spread but no restaurant so Breakfast is the only meal you get. However there is a vending machine where you can get savories, aereated drinks, water etc. The hotel has a city shuttle service for pick and drop to city centre at designated times. This is a free service but one needs to book early in order to get a confirmed seat. There are two malls nearby whih offer good dining and shopping facilities. Carrefour was the only centre in entire Turkey where we could buy 1.5 litres of water at only TL0.40.A drop to the airport can be arranged by the hotel staff without any extra charges.You pay only the taxi charge as per metre.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Agan; City: Istanbul; Review: Nice clean hotel bang in the centre of the city. Walking distance from all the tourist spots like Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Museum etc. Walking distance from Gulhane Tram station. Nice comfortable rooms. Breakfast was OK could be better. Offers airport pick ( Ataturk)and drop service for about 25 TL per person . However one could do it much cheaper by the tram and metro at TL8 per person and at lesser time than the coach service. All guests are offerred a 10% discount when they dine at the hotel's restaurant.Nice place to stay; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ondas do Mar Beach Resort; City: Calangute North Goa District Goa; Review: The place to be in North Goa. Just a 5 minute walk from the beach this is a wonderful place to check in. The hotel is well maintained and offers the traveller a lovely room to relax and unwind after a hard day's fun and frolic on the sandy beaches of Calangute/Baga. Run by some great people Mr.& Mrs Fernandes this is the place you would like to come again and again. There are 2 properties. Although both are great remember to choose one on holiday street as the beach is closer. There are some lovely eating joints and of course the famour shacks for the traveller as well. In fact we even got a 20% discount in some shack( Jolly jack I guess) since we were staying in Ondas Do Mar.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Gateway Hotel Old Port Rd Mangalore; City: Mangalore Dakshina Kannada District Karnataka; Review: A good business hotel in Mangalore. Located on Port road this is an old property which has been taken over by Gateway hotels and changed into a business hotel. Pretty large rooms with all amenities. Their buffet breakfast is amazing. Guests are also allowed complimentary usage of the steam and sauna centre. Rooms have LCD TV,air conditioning ,built in wardrobe and twin or double beds. Since it is an old hotel some things require an upgrade eg the lift. Hotel has a good dining hall where you can get good buffet dinner. A bar serves drinks. Besides there is a shopping arcade,business centre and book store. A swimming pool and health club is also there for the use of residents. Room service is very good and staff members are very good and courteous. Become an Innercircle member to enjoy more benefits when you stay here or at any other Taj property; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Goldfinch Mangalore; City: Mangalore Dakshina Kannada District Karnataka; Review: A very modern and new business hotel in the hear of the city. Neat and clean rooms,excellent business centre.Rooms are slightly smaller compared to some other leading hotels in the area but are comfortable nonetheless. Their buffet breakfast coould do better Actually the best breakfast I have had is at the Gateway Hotel which is close by.Not a bad option at all to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Albert; City: Schaerbeek Brussels; Review: A very basic hotel. Some good eateries around. 10 minute walking distance for main bus stand and Railway station. Just right enough. Rooms are quite large although don't expect any great views. Bed was good.Sleep quality is also fine. No complimentary breakfast available. Rooms are pretty large with heating systems. We had reached early so we left our luggage at the hotel and went out for a walk.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Paradise Island Resort Spa; City: Lankanfinolhu Island; Review: This was our first visit to the resort and boy we would love to keep going back. After a lot of research we finalised on this resort and booked it through "Gemini Tours and Travels " in Bangalore. I would like to mention about Ms Raji from Gemini who helped us get this resort. The rates were even lower on booking through Gemini Tours than what was quoted by other travel sites like Agoda,Hotels.com etc. They took all care of arranging our pick up boat etc from outside Male Airport etc. Make sure to inform them of any change in flight timings at Male airport so that the pick up boat can be notified accordingly. We were met at the airport and transferred to the speed boat. The boat ride takes about 20 minutes to reach the resort and once you are there it is pure bliss. The water is light blue and lots of white sane all around. We were booked in a Superior cottage with an outside shower. After one night we upgraded to the water villas and that was simply out of this world. LCD TV,Bose speakers etc are just some of the delights which you can use .There is an attached bathroom nd also an outside tub where you can just lie and water the clear water all around. A flight of stairs takes you from the villa to the lagoon below. There are 4 restaurants with fixed seating allotted to you as soon as you check in. The buffet is quite huge but becomes boring over a period of time. A wonderfiul resort exciting enough to keep you entertained and in love with nature around you .Do come here and have a time of your life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa; City: Kumarakom Kottayam District Kerala; Review: I guess the title of my review says it all. A wonderful resort ,great brand , well trained staff and exemplary service and great memories to return with. This is VivantA by Taj -Kumarakom. I had booked a superior charm lagoon view. Everything was great from the moment we landed in Kerala. We drove down from Cochin airport . Prepaid cab from the airport cost Rs 2000 and took us about 2 hours to reach the property. We had a smooth check in with tender coconut water as the welcome drink post which we were led to our cottage. The room was simply HUGE with an open air shower. Although there is plenty of natural light coming in the privacy is also taken care of by nets placed on top. The rooms open up to the lagoon and you can lie there and enjoy the view. Be careful as at night the same may not be pleasant because of mosquitoes. The local ladies light candles all around the lagoon at night and it makes up for a pretty sight. Everyday there was a cultural song and dance program for the guests. There is not much to do outside the resort. There is a jetty about 5 minute walking distance from the property from where you can hire a boat for a back water ride. Just next to the jetty is a Restaurant run by ladies which serves authentic Kerala meals which is a treat for all food lovers. The resort offers various activities to the guests. There is a houseboat trip from the hotel jetty( pvt jetty point only for hotel guests) which is a must do. At the edge of the resort is a bird walk which has a covered walkway. One can hear the chirping of the birds as one takes the path which takes you upto the pvt jetty point. The hotel has lots of bicycles which one can use within the property. However most of the cycles are not in good shape and one old have expected them to be in a better condition .Besided you have fishing, pottery which also gets you a certificate and boating in the lagoon. The Baker's bungalow was under renovation when we visited. However I would have still preferred the cottages. The higher category villas have a private pool as well. There is a swimming pool with an attached bar which was mostly empty when we visited. The Jivaro Spa is small with the usual therapies. I found the spa to smaller and liked the one in VivantA- Bentota more. There is also as a curio store to buy daily stuff and momentos The food was excellent. The breakfast was huge Howevever the tea and coffee were a bit mild and will not suit the taste of many.For dinner we ordered jumbo prawns and they were cooked just right.The chef had taken excellent care to ensure the food was of top notch quality. Do try the coconut soufflé which is simply out of this world. With extreme care taken to ensure you; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Gateway Hotel Colombo; City: Seeduwa Western Province; Review: A good hotel primarily aimed at Business and Leisure travel. Pick this one if you are flying out of Colombo early morning/late night and do not have much to do in the city. We arrived from Kandy and had requested a pick up at Colombo Fort railway station. The service was prompt and although our train was delayed the driver kept in touch with us over the phone ( ISD call for the driver as I had an India number). The airport is pretty close to the Colombo Airport . As soon as you enter the gates of the hotel compund you keep travelling for almost half a km before you reach the hotel gate. The entire distance is a good walking area and you can definitely enjoy a stroll after a meal. The check in was smooth and the Manager personally took us to our room which was lagoon facing. Although the rooms are small but they are extremely modern with the latest gadgets and entertainment systems. The attached bathroom is good with an excellent shower. The toiletries are replaced daily and you also get a fruit plate replenished in you room every day. It is a large property with a good swimming pool and a spa.There are some handicraft stores in the hotel which are expensive. Just outside the hotel is a departmental store where you can pick pretty much everything from tea to gifts to take back home at a fraction of the price at the hotel. We were happy to get a complimentry drop to the airport next day at 4 AM. This was a Wow moment as the hotel had mentioned that the drop would be a paid one .; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Bentota Resort Spa; City: Bentota Galle District Southern Province; Review: This is a very large property right next to the beach in Bentota. We arrived in Colombo and took a cab from the airport which took about 3 hours. The hotel was still under renovation and thus a lot of facilities were not operational. After a quick welcome drink and check in formalities we were shown our room. The rooms are old but well kept. Don't expect a modern touch. Our room had a garden view beyond which was the ocean. Housekeeping was up to the mark. There were 3 restaurants operational. Go for the Chinese restaurant. The food was outstanding. For breakfast we had some Sri Lankan delicacies which were amazing. The hotel is a few yards from Bentota railway station. However most trains stop at Aluthgama railway station which is about 5 minute ride from the hotel There is a Chinese restaurant little distance from the hotel. However we advise that one can have meals at Taj itself. The staff are extremely courteous and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Check in ,enjoy and relax at VivantA Bentota.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: ParkCity Everly Hotel Miri; City: Miri Miri District Sarawak; Review: We arrived in Miri for Niah cave exploration . After the cave trip our tour guide dropped us at the hotel .Now this is a huge hotel with a private beach. Everything about the hotel is huge right from the rooms,to the buffet breakfast,the beach garden and the service. The hotel leaves you with feeling of Wow! However prices are definitely not as huge . We got a deal from Agoda.com .A deluxe twin hill view room with breakfast was only 50 USD. There is nothing much to explore in the city so you can spend a relaxing time in the hotel itself. Our room had 3 beds and could easily accommodate 4 People. Breakfast as mentioned earlier was huge with multiple options and local flavours.Hotel also arranged for an early morning airport drop at a normal taxi fare. We would love to return to this hotel and enjoy their hospitality once again; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ginger Hotel Mangalore; City: Mangalore Dakshina Kannada District Karnataka; Review: A decent hotel good but the business traveller or someone looking at spending a night in Mangalore. Just off the highway it is a safe and clean option for families looking to spend a night in the city. Rooms are clean and well mantained . Has an LCD TV, tea coffee maker,phone. Don't expect fancy stuff. A decent ensuite shower ensures you can relax and be fresh for the day ahead. There is a book store on the ground floor. Book early to get cheap rates. They also have a cab/taxi service although it could be a little more expensive than booking it from outside/directly through cab operators. Staff is friendly and willing to help.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Goan Heritage; City: Calangute North Goa District Goa; Review: We stayed at this hotel in 2011 and were quite pleased with the hotel and its service. This is by far the largest among other hotels in the vicinity. The rooms are pretty good with good fittings . There is a private access to the beach. The hotel has a good parking lotin case you are driving down. They have a restaurant by the beach which serves good Goan food and other stuff. Definitely a good place to stay at a great location. We are regulars to Goa and prefer this location to anything else. Look forward to coming here again; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Taj Bekal Resort and Spa Kerala; City: Bekal Kasaragod District Kerala; Review: A great resort with excellent staff to make your holiday worth remembering. Just back from the resort and thought of reviewing it before I miss any point. We flew down to Mangalore from Bangalore and took a cab. The charge was Rs 2000/- one way.There is a Prepaid taxi booth at the airport just before the exit where one can book a cab after landing at the airport. Cheaper options from Mangalore airport would be to first reach Mangalore city and take a Bus to Kasargod. The fare comes to around Rs 50 per person ( approx USD 1). From Kasargod take an auto to the resort but this entire trip would take a long time. The hotel also provides a pick and drop service which comes at Rs 3800/- one way inclusive of taxes. The cab journey takes just under 2 hours. The road is good but is 2 lane so expect some delay due to traffic mostly in Mangalore city or at cross roads. We reached the hotel in just under two hours. For the first timer it might be difficult to spot the hotel. At Hotel Ranjees Inn which comes on the right hand side , take a right turn into the narrow lane and keep following the road. The resort is approx 2 kms from the main road. Our check inn was smooth and after a welcome drink we were lead to our rooms. We had booked a Deluxe Delight Room with Plunge Pool and were we not happy to see the room.There is a day bed just across the entrance with the plunge pool next to it.The pool is 4.9 ft deep and has a level floor. There are lights inside the pool for good visibility at night andone should definitely take a swim under the stars at night. There is also an outdoor shower and bath tub next to the pool. The room is huge with Chitra Pothi art on one wall and a large LCD TV. Now this is one hotel where you DO get a lot of channels , English, Hindi and Regional to watch.The AC is pretty powerful although it is set to work between temp of 20C to 25C. Some of the facilities available to the guests are lockers in all rooms, choice of English/Hindi DVD's available at the reception, complimentry fruit daily-just ASK. There is an ASK button on the phone which connects you to the Reception and you can put your request through. The property is huge and has a backwater running through the property. There is a private beach which beach beds where one can sit and hear the waves crashing on the shores.As the property is big the hotel has put into use golf cars or " buggies" for the guests to move around. There are cycles as well for guests to ride around the property.There are 3 restaurants By the Bay which specialises in Sea Food, Latitude-where breakfast is served and Dinner Buffet is served and Ivory bar-a bar. There is also a small grill restarant near; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casablanca; City: Candolim Bardez North Goa District Goa; Review: We had booked online after going through some reviews and wanted to check out a new property. However there is nothing great about the hotel. From the moment we checked in we felt something was amiss. The hotel you stay has a high bearing on your holiday and can make or break the same. The rooms we big with a sitting area and the shower was also nice. Now to the bad part. The room had a strange dampness to it and there was a strange mouldy smell which was a big put off. Also the room walls are pretty thin and you can hear a lot of noise. There are no toiletries given in be bathroom. The buffet breakfast was very simple with bread,butter ,jam,juice and one indian dish. Pool is not to great. For the amount you pay there are various better options available and one could check .would never return here nor would advise this to anyone; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu; City: Kota Kinabalu Kota Kinabalu District West Coast Division; Review: We stayed at this hotel in January 2010 for two days while we were in KK. Must say it is a fantastic hotel at a great location. It's about a 15- 20 minute ride from the airport. The best thing about the hotel is its location. There are lots of eateries from McDonalds to local food which is a must try. The bay is at a walking distance and the Esplanade by the bay is a wonderful place to spend your evenings. Coming to the hotel the rooms are small but pretty modern with LCD TV,hair dryer AC and other modern amenities. There is a common ironing board for use of guests. The city really comes to life at night and this is actually a great place to stay to enjoy the night life. Housekeeping was excellent and we had no complaints about it. Although breakfast was not complimentary we however suggest patrons to try out local food available right outside the hotel to get a taste of the city. Taxis are freely available however the city is such that it is more fun exploring it on foot. The bus stop is close by from where one can get small vans to KK National park at a nominal price. All in all a great place to stay and bring home great memories of a fantastic city; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Budget Amsterdam Airport; City: Badhoevedorp Haarlemmermeer North Holland Province; Review: We stayed at this hotel in 2010 November. It is pretty close to the airport and runs airport shuttle to and fro Schipol Airport. Very basic but clean rooms. Large bed with an overhead bunk beds which is particularly useful if you have kids . Breakfast is not complimentary and so is WiFi. Going to city centre is also easy as you can get a train from the airport itself. Nice place to stay if you have early morning flight to catch.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Bangkok Silom; City: Bangkok; Review: A nice hotel in a good location to ensure you can enjoy your Bangkok stay. Surasak MRT is closeby a 5 minute way.The night comes alive at Patpong market another 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel has been renovated and looks promising. The rooms are new and modern. Beds are comfortable and a c is good. You get a good reception of tv channels. Breakfast is good and their masala chai is amazing. A good hotel to stay and enjoy during your Bangkok visit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Plantation Trails by Tata Coffee Coorg; City: Pollibetta Kodagu Coorg Karnataka; Review: A nice almost home like atmosphere at this place. Delicious food. None of the much fancy stuff you might get at 3/4/5* properties. Decent AC, clean and functional rooms and good service. They have some good features like drive to the coffee plantation which is really good. Definitely a good break from the hustle and bustle of city life.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Mumbai BKC; City: Mumbai Maharashtra; Review: A good Business hotel for the travelling executive. Located in the Bandra Kurla Complex amidst the major Corporate buildings and very close to the airport. The hotel offers clean and extremely modern rooms and amenities with clean and spacious bathroom. The housekeeping is excellent . The food is good and one must try the amazing dinner buffet on offer. For relaxation the Gym,Spa and Pool offer a good getaway. Check in and feel relaxed for the next day; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Green Cove Resort Spa Kovalam; City: Kovalam Thiruvananthapuram District Kerala; Review: This has been the most blissful and amazing stay we have had. The property is beautiful and is manned by a delightful team of employees who will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. We landed at Trivandrum airport and took a prepaid taxi from the airport ( Rs 475 one way for A/c cab). The resort is a 15 minute drive from the airport. On arrival we were welcomed with a refreshing Coconut lime drink and beautiful shell garlands. I had requested for a early check in and after a ten minute wait while I filled out the forms a motor driven golf cart came up to take us to our room. We had booked a garden view room as all other categories were sold out. Even though it was the base category room it was simply outstanding. A small sit out from where one could watch the Arabian Ocean simply invited you to sit there and do nothing. The room was big with wooden flooring and all modern amenities . The bath was also big with a tub and separate shower and walk in closet. The usual Forest Essentials toiletries adorned the shelves. At lunch we decided to check out their restaurant Jasmine Bay. This is a all day restaurant which has an infinity pool and the sea beyond. The food was good and not very expensive. There are two other restaurants. Bait which is a sea food restaurant and Curries . As you exit the hotel you can cross the road and enter the other property which has a backwater and beach access. Bait is situated here and in case you do not want to walk you may call for a buggy. The hotel also arranges for a complimentary boat ride over the lagoon. We loved our stay and would like to thank the team especially Mr. Mukhtar Ali. He is a real gem and the star of the place.Thank you Mukhtar for making our stay memorable. I; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Fort Aguada Resort Spa Goa; City: Sinquerim North Goa District Goa; Review: This is an amazing property and carries forward the wonderful Taj hospitality. This was my first holiday with my wife and 6 month old son and needless to say we were quite worried. A short mail highlighting my queries to the GM- Mr Ravi Nischal put an end to all my worries. Not only did my 6 month old have a good time thanks to the ever smiling the extremely competent staff we got a much needed break ourselves. The property is a heritage property. We had booked a sea facing room and honestly this was in a true sense a sea facing room. While the rooms are small they are quite practical and well laid out. Our request for a baby crib was looked into and even after the crib was put in there was a fair bit of space to move around. However the rooms at Taj Exotica were much BIGGER!! We were picked up by their shuttle service from Diabolic airport and and hour's drive later we were welcomed at the property. A quick checkin followed and we were escorted to our room welcomed by a bottle of wine and fine chocolates.A special mention of thanks to Ms Dirgha Tarika and her wonderful team who went out of her way to ensure we had a great stay.She was kind enough to share her personal number and was available 24/7 in case of any emergency. Such small gestures does make one return to the hotel again and again. The property is not huge but is well laid out. The swimming pool is small . A kids pool is in the sister concern Taj Holiday village - a short 5 minute buggy ride away. The views from the room or the property are to die for and the sound of the waves crashing on the ramparts of the fort make up for some great memories . While I am not a big fan of 5 * food I must say that the chef did a great job with the menu. Dishes were not repeated.Each meal also had local flavours accompanies with other favourites. There was a live counter too offering delectable kathi rolls, nachos, parathas etc. The hotel also organises several outdoor activities at a charge and they seemed quite nice. We really enjoyed our stay and will love to go back to re experience the famous Taj hospitality and service. Thank you Mr Ravi Nischal and his excellent team for making this a holiday worth remembering.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Nautique Beachfront Apartments Mahe; City: Anse Royale Mahe Island; Review: There are apartments and hotels and then there is La Nautique. Clearly a cut above the others. A lovely beach facing property with a setting which is simply out of this world. Large spacious rooms with air conditioning,comfortable beds, a kitchenette with ample kitchenware,microwave,common washing machine make up for a lovely stay. And if you don’t want to cook there are a few restaurants and takeaways about a 10 minute walk away. Definitely place to return to.A perfect getaway for a perfect holiday.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hamilton Beach Flip Belgian Waffle Maker with Removable Plates (26030); Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: This was such a hit at our Christmas Eve gathering this last year!! It made absolutely beautiful waffles and never once did it stick in any way to the plates. I used nonstick spray in between each waffle and just kept churning waffles out while we enjoyed 'breakfast' on Christmas Eve. Everyone wanted to know where I got it and just kept feeling happy that I have it now. I can't wait to fix my grandchildren individual waffles when they spend the night! P.S. The waffle plates are removable and dishwasher safe!!!! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it seemed it took a bit longer for each waffle than I thought it would. Maybe I was just rushing the issue.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rubber Collection Leaves Multi-Color Printed Slip Resistant Rubber Back Latex Contemporary Modern Area Rugs and Runners (1161/1162) (Multi Leaves,; Brand: RugStylesOnline; Review: This rug lies beautifully on my wood floor. I thought it would be thin like some outdoor rugs I have bought in the past, but it is more substantial than those rugs. It does not wrinkle or slide, and it is true to measurement. The colors are rich and bright. I also expected it might be rough to the touch, because of its great price, but it is soft and since I have it close to my kitchen, my two small dogs now lounge on it while we are eating meals. I love this rug and its affordability so much that I plan on ordering 2 more in other patterns, immediately. It shipped quickly and came in a roll of plastic that was designed to be easily removed. Excellent product!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Half Way Home; Author: Visit Amazon's Hugh Howey Page; Review: After reading Wool 1-5 and the first of the Molly Fyde series I was looking for another short novel to read. Half Way Home (like all of Hugh's works) is a nice length, I read it on one cloudy Saturday. Hugh creates artful stories, characters you love, and plots that keep you reading more. Since I know Hugh reads his reviews I also want to share that I cried at the end of the prologue. Hugh's stories can be read as fantasy adventures through new worlds or as deep insights into the world we have already created for ourselves. True sci-fi and true awesomeness.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Caterpillar Men's Revolver Pull-On Steel-Toe Boot; Brand: ; Review: The boots arrive sooner than I anticipated. When I opened the box first thing I saw was oil and die stains on the packaging. And sure enough the boots where all discolored where something caused the die and or oil to leach from the leather. In addition the leather was not uniform one section on each pair looked as if it were a different type, texture appearance and stiffness. I was going to return them and order another pair. Fortunately I tried one on before I returned them. I couldn't get my foot past the ankle.

Title: Labranda Mares Marmaris; City: Icmeler Marmaris District Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Stayed here at the tail end of April with my Fiancée and 2 sons. 1st impressions were great, the hotel was clean and quite pleasing to the eye. Reception were very helpful with any questions we had. The location was awesome with its own private jetty which you could sunbathe on. The grounds were well kept and looked after. Pool area was very tidy and clean with a pool side bar. There is also another level with some sunbeds and water slides which a lot of the kids seemed to enjoy. Hotel gym was quite small but very adequate for a few workouts to try and keep them all inclusive calories in check. :) The rooms were a decent size for the 4 of us we had a kingsize bed and our 2 boys had a single bed each and it didn't feel cramped. A few English TV channels to watch in the dead time from coming back from sunbathing until dinner. Food was really quite good. I like to try other foods and I'm not a fussy eater but I felt the variety of food on offer was pretty good at each meal time. My boys didn't moan about anything and they enjoyed it too. The handmade flat bread parcels that they make are amazing. I was told by my sons that the fresh pancakes made every morning were really good too. There is a pool level snack bar that makes pizzas and pasta, we visited once and it was very tasty. I'm a decorator and was pleasantly surprised with how good it all was as I'm usually driving my partner mad with imperfections I pick up on. We didn't go to the evening entertainment as we were playing cards in the bar so can not comment on it. But the team working during the day were great always making conversation with us and trying to get people to join in with various activities which my 7yr old loved. This was my 1st visit to Turkey and I loved it so much we went back 2 weeks after this break and I'm contemplating buying a home in this area. All of the Turkish people I spoke to were really friendly. The only negative I can write is that the main bar was understaffed at night and it felt as though it was a hit of a free for all to get a drink sometimes. I hope this review helps.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Wight; City: Sandown Isle of Wight England; Review: Hotel very clean and tidy, decor was fresh, a bit of a dated feel but pleasant enough. Room was a decent size. Pool was nice enough. Rude member of staff on reception left a very sour taste. Being spoken down to is not something I appreciate and pretty much being accused of being a liar when I informed her the steam room was not working and when I informed that our shower was not working either, to be told that a shower is not a guaranteed requirement and implying that I was not operating it correctly...! (It's tap fed and you lift a valve not exactly rocket science.) and I should use the bath I'm 6ft 6 and the bath is fit for small children and hobbits. The fault was with the hose as I stated. Her attitude was awful and amateur and I struggled to keep my cool with her very condescending tone. The owner/manager came and was really nice and polite. Changed the hose and explained the problem with the steam room and apologised, if you want use the sauna you need to inform reception and they turn it on for you which is something we didn't realise so couldn't use it. Jacuzzi was ok but could do with updating. We had a few drinks in the bar in the evening when we returned from our evening meal out and the prices were fair, I would've expected to pay more as we were in the hotel but they were very reasonable. The lady behind the bar was very pleasant to deal with too. Breakfast was very nice and all of the staff we dealt with in the restaurant were great and breakfast was served in a good time. There is not much water pressure on the island so do not go expecting a fast flowing shower as its fed from the taps on a mixer. Maybe the hotel should think about in investing in upgrading this. Overall the hotel was pleasant enough and I probably would stay here again, just the receptionist left a very poor impression on us as a party due to her rudeness. This along with the issues with the shower and steam room are why I've marked it down.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Park Central Hotel New York; City: New York City New York; Review: My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon for the weekend of 5th Jan to the 9th. The hotel decor was great, rooms were comfortable and spacious enough. All staff we encountered were very good and friendly. Check in was seamless. I would've liked tea/coffee making facilities in the room but due to the fact there is a coffee shop within the hotel it would take trade away from that....! Some people were complaining about the lifts in the hotel but we never waited very long for one a few minutes at most and didn't have a problem with them. Only a few minor points the bar in the hotel wasn't open on the Sunday afternoon/early evening while we were there which was a shame as we had to go next door. The decor even though stylish needed to be sharpened up a bit more but then I probably notice it more as it's my trade. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here and wouldn't hesitate to return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Centra by Centara Phu Pano Resort Krabi; City: Ao Nang Krabi Town Krabi Province; Review: We have booked this hotel for a 9 night holiday. I am staying here with my wife and 2 sons. Due to our eldest son being 16 we had to have a separate. We were quite an opus to have ether adjoining rooms or at least next to each other. I emailed the manager my concerns and he managed to fulfil our request which certainly put our minds at rest as the last thing we wanted was our sons the other end of the hotel...! It’s also our 1st wedding anniversary out here I made the manager aware of this and there was a bouquet of flowers with petals spread on the bed in a heart shape on the bed on our arrival and on the actual day there was a cake left for us with more fresh flowers which was a great touch. The hotel is really clean with a good level of decode done to a decent standard, it’s my trade and I know what I’m looking at and was quite impressed. Rooms are cleaned daily to a good level. Tea and coffee facilities in the room which are replenished everyday too. Pool area well maintained and clean, quite small but I thinks it’s adequate for the amount of people that use it. Breakfast was the same everyday with a good selection of foods that I reckon would suit most tastes, fresh eggs and bacon can be cooked upon request. We had a couple of lunches and dinners here when we didn’t want to venture down the strip and even though it is a bit dearer than in the town the quality was really good and the food tasted great. The staff were brilliant, always happy, friendly and polite. Even had a bit of banter with one of the guys working as the football was on and my team lost which he made sure I knew about the next day when I skulked off before the end :). The lady who we booked a trip through was great as well we may have paid a bit more for the trip I don’t know but I wanted to have the peace of mind of booking through the hotel rather than the street vendors. I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TUI BLUE Palm Garden; City: Manavgat Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: We stayed here for the last week in October and absolutely loved it. Staff were amazing, hotel was clean and the food was fresh and tasted amazing. The day beds were great value and I’d definitely recommend using them, we had them with and without service and felt the serviced ones were really good. We really can’t fault this hotel and would definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SENTIDO Phenicia; City: Hammamet Nabeul Governorate; Review: We have just returned from a weeks holiday here and loved every minute of it. The food was always fresh and cooked well, all staff were amazing and extremely hard working. It’s the little touches which make a Holliday, from the room cleaner making things out of the towels etc. The guys waiting in both the bar areas were awesome and had remembered our drinks and had them at the table as soon as we sat down and kept them coming all night. The pool guy that kept it clean and tidy and made sure everyone had mattresses for their beds and always had a smile. The afternoon crepe makers who kept my son and niece well stocked and happy. For a truly amazing service I recommend giving these guys a tip. 10dinar hear and there will not break the bank but it gives you a totally different Holiday. Last and by no means least special mentions to the animation team who were great fun and had an amazingly welcoming attitude. They worked tirelessly always trying to get people involved in their activities, if its not your thing then they totally appreciate if you just want to relax and read a book or whatever. They really engaged a lot with my son and niece and really made the holiday for them. Mario and Lamin were excellent and they made them feel really welcome. The shows they put on were good fun and you can see how much effort they put in with some great choreography. The animation team really went above and beyond in my opinion. Reception staff were also friendly and very helpful. Rooms were a decent size with comfortable beds and good size balcony. My only criticism if you can call it that is that it feels a bit tired and in need in a bit of TLC and investment in sprucing it up a bit. The gym was disappointing and not looked after at all. It feels as though it’s just forgotten about to be honest and the treadmill felt dangerous with someone actually coming off and hurting themselves. Decorating could’ve been sharper with more care taken as there was paint everywhere. These are minor gripes to be honest but it’s something that I noticed and would not stop me from returning. The guys that were there to sell things were not pushy and left you alone if you weren’t interested which was good. My wife and the children went on the 2hr horse ride and loved it and said it was excellent. So much so they did it a second time. My wife and I both had a massage too and that was great and well worth the money. We didn’t visit the a la Carte restaurant but visited the Chinese which was very tasty and enjoyable and something a bit different. This was an additional 40d per adult and 30d per child.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sabaidy 2 Guesthouse; City: Pakse Champasak Province; Review: I stayed there only for one night, after arriving from Champasak and on my way back to Vientiane. The room was basic but clean (very important!) the attention was basic as well. The owner speaks perfect french and english and he is very friendly but the staff might look aloof, but I think it has to do more with culture than with actual personality. I purchased my ticket to Vientiane with them and it was the only ticket purchased at a guesthouse that didn't have problems at the time of boarding the sleeper bus...everyone else's ticket had issues! (people with the same number of bed, etc). I would recommend this place for a short stay because it is pretty basic, or for a long stay if you're not high-maintenance, after all, it is a backpacker's guesthouse.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lankham Hotel; City: Pakse Champasak Province; Review: I stayed two nights at the Lankham before heading to Don Det in Sin Phan Don so I can't talk about long term stay but for two nights it was just perfect. I had my own (clean) bathroom, air-con and fan, tv and a small fridge. Free wifi in the lobby. The family also owns a noodle restaurant right next door, with outside seating and they also rent bikes, scooters and dirt-bikes. The only complaint I have is that the mattress was a bit on the hard side...then again after traveling Laos for a month I noticed this is a constant, probably at more expensive places the mattresses get softer but in low-bo places the mattresses are never soft/plush. The hotel is managed by a family and they can also help you schedule any tours around the city or get you bus tickets as well. They all speak english good enough to answer your questions. That's it, basic, no frills, backpacker hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rendezvous Guest House; City: Chiang Mai; Review: although a bit overpriced for a guesthouse (500 B a night for a single room) I really appreciated all the amenities the room had to offer specially after traveling Laos for a month in a shoestring so to speak. The guesthouse itself is located in a quiet alley near the east gate and it not only has great rooms but also a quite good restaurant with nice seating. You can also find great information about every single thing to do in town, even Muay Thai boxing if that's what you're into! You can't have your laundry done there but right next to it there's a laundry shop, quite convenient right? On the other side of the hotel you can take Thai cooking classes. Walk out the alley to the west and you will find a whole array of places to eat and shop. You do get free wifi but I would throw in a free breakfast as well for the 500B instead of leaving it out the price but then again I don't own the joint right?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Parklane Hotel; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: Parklane is located in a busy but quiet part of town and I think this might be one of the few medium size hotels in town with an elevator, new and modern one. So that was a great surprise considering my room was on the fifth floor and I was traveling with a 90L backpack filled to the top. I was given a room with a window facing west, which was great to view the sunset over the red roofs in Siem Reap. The room was super clean and spacious and had all the basic amenities: hot shower, ac, tv and mini fridge (the bathroom was spotless by the way). However what I liked the most from my stay at Parklane was the buffet style breakfast: you can choose from pancakes, grilled potatoes and/or fried rice. You can also ask the chef to make scrambled eggs for you if that's what you're in the mood for. There's also fresh fruit, cornflakes, fresh fruit juice, hot coffee and hot tea. The restaurant also offers lunch and dinner although most visitors prefer to eat those meals out and about. I scheduled with them a Cambodia style body massage which was delivered that same evening by a total pro. They can also point you to the nearest pool in case you want to spend your last day in Siem Reap soaking up the sun; usually the fee will be less if you say you're staying at Parklane. Regarding the staff, they were very friendly, courteous and diligent in answering each of my questions and taking care of my needs, and making sure my stay was great. The owner was there the last day of my stay and we had a short but great chat. It turns out he lived in Brooklyn for some years before moving back to Cambodia. Lulu the hotel dog was also hanging out in the lobby, listening to our conversation. In terms of location, they're pretty close to bike rentals, a supermarket on the main avenue and if you walk out of the hotel, turn left and walk straight to the river you'll hit the post office in about ten minutes. They're also about ten minutes away from the main drag on pub street and the night market. Last but not least, their prices are in the mid-range scale which makes Parklane a pretty good option for the mid-range-budget travelers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TR Guesthouse; City: Sukhothai Sukhothai Province; Review: I cannot believe the amount of noise I was able to hear the (unfortunately already paid) two nights I stayed at TR. I walked in without reservation after coming from Chiang Mai and was offered a single room as the bungalows were already taken. On the one hand, the noise coming from outside is in one word, major. I'm not talking about crickets; from dogs, cats, people walking on the street, motorbikes, you name it. On the other hand, if you happen to be downstairs brace yourself for the noise of your neighbors above. Even if they don't mean it, the slightest move will wake you up in the middle of the night. I finally was able to fall asleep to the beat of the motorbike honks outside when the guests above me dropped something that might as well have been a dumbell, or probably was something smaller but since the structure is not soundproof it pretty much sounded like a bomb. As for the room amenities, it came with fan, hot water and hard bed as it is the custom. The food was acceptable for a guesthouse but a bit pricy. One thing I liked, the seating area in the lobby and the entrance of the place. The rest of it, including the attitude of the owner didn't impress me much. I wonder if the other reviewers actually base their review on the quality of the guesthouse itself, or the size of the smile the owner displays when you're paying for your room in advance upon checking in.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

So I bought him THIS pillow after seeing so many reviews complaining "too hard". I gotta say, though, although this pillow is FIRM I actually enjoy it too. I feel like the gel is very cushiony and supportive, and I have stolen it as a back pillow on several occasions. Another great thing about this pillow is that it keeps rather cool. If you're looking for something to sink into, this is NOT the pillow for you. If, however, you (like my husband) are tired of "Extra Firm" pillows being not firm enough, this is DEFINITELY the pillow for you!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Rightline Gear 100S10 Sport 1 Car Top Carrier, 12 cu ft, Waterproof, Attaches With or Without Roof Rack; Brand: Rightline Gear; Review: I have a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander with cross member roof racks, I used 2, 10 foot ratchet tie downs that I criss crossed over the top of the car carrier. This carrier has a nice quality to it. and it stores easily when you get to your destination, Recommend that you pack and stuff it fully. The zipper is of high quality and did not leak when I drove it threw 5 hours of rain. I had given away my old hard shell carrier years ago and thought I would try this one based on its good reviews. I can now honestly say I do prefer this over the hard plastic turtle. One, because of its quality, and two, that I can store it easily when I get to my destination in my trunk and three, store it easily in a box in my garage.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Denso 221-0506 Radiator; Brand: Denso; Review: The OEM/Denso radiator i removed was 12 years old with 150 K, the previous owner didn't maintain it from what I could see. Considering I will maintain it Im sure I will get a long life out of it. A note to all, I drain my radiators on my cars once a year and replace with 50/50 anti freeze mix. I do this myself with no mess, empty and put into sealed spackle buckets to protect from dogs and cats, then off to recycle. This was a heck of a price for OEM. I no longer buy my radiators from Nappa the last 2 I purchased there lasted less than 2 years. They use to have good radiators years ago, and I did not mind paying up for there brand, but I am not going to pay up for junk.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Mad Monkey Hostels; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: What a great place! I had a fantastic time here. The hostel is really easy going. it's clean, airy and the roof top bar is a great place to meet people. the dorms are very nice and the showers are excellent. the staff cannot be more helpful and it is in a great location in town. tours to angkor are easily organised from the hostel as well. basically, if you want a good time in siem reap, especially if you're travelling alone and up for meeting new people, then MM is the place to be. Thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Viet Fun Hotel; City: Hanoi; Review: Firstly- full disclosure- i did not stay at this hotel; just organised my trips to sapa and halong bay through then. this review is not about the rooms etc. i stayed in a hostel down the street which was offering tours for about 50% more than viet fun. Thank goodness for the viet fun hotel as they set me up on excellent and very affordable tours to halong bay abduction sapa. the lady operating the travel desk speaks excellent English and is really friendly. she gave me lots of different options to choose from and i selected the one most appropriate for me. the tours i arranged were well put together and offered the best value i could find. for instance, my hostel wanted to charge me $110 for a sapa tour whereas viet fun charged $70 with no significant difference in the service provided. to top it off and exemplify their excellent service; when i got back from my sapa tour at 5am they let me come to the hotel and rest up for free. so kind of them. That says it all- tremendous service at great prices.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Andaz London Liverpool Street; City: London England; Review: I went here for a work christmas party which was hosted in the room with golden dome in the centre. it was a very nice room and the service upon entry was to a high standard. Further, the food served was excellent and the bar staff made sure the drinks flowed. It's a beautiful room should you wish to find a venue as such in the City and I would highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Skopje; City: Skopje Skopje Region; Review: I would heartily recommend this hotel to business people and tourist alike. It's on the pricier end of the scale but you get what you pay for. Don't be put off by the facade of the hotel. The rooms are nice, there's very good wifi and the service is great. I checked in at 1am without a hitch. There's a nice breakfast and a spa area (which i didn't use for the interest of disclosure). The location is what makes this hotel stand out. It's right on the main stretch near all the new (rather gaudy) government buildings and the main square. It's not far from the stone bridge and the old town as well. It's walking distance from the bus station and all the taxi drivers I asked to take me to the hotel knew where it was (makes life easier!). Overall, an international quality hotel in a fantastic location.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Flower Garden Hotel; City: Unawatuna Galle District Southern Province; Review: Rubbish. Poor. Dirty. The Flower Garden Hotel was none of these. It was a perfect delight in fact. If you're heading to Unawatuna then you can do a lot worse than sleeping in one of their beautiful rooms, enjoying their prodigious breakfast and swimming in either of their two great pools. Treat yourself and go wild at HFG. The photo was taken as I write this post. Do it. X; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Russia; City: Tiraspol Transnistria; Review: Good hotel. Was clean and safe. Money exchanger round the back. Decent location. Has a restaurant on the ground floor and a pretty decent nightclub in the basement. Receptionist spoke English. Sensible choice where options are very limited.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BankHotel; City: Lviv Lviv Oblast; Review: If you're thinking about this hotel but are unsure because it doesn't have many reviews or looks a little far out on the map, then please let me be the one to allay any concerns. This hotel is simply brilliant. It's very close to the Old Square a the main tourist sites, it is brand new, the rooms are clean and with high ceilings, the receptionists are very diligent and the atmosphere is great. I turned up at 10am and without any issue they gave me an early check in. It's a great place to explore the city from. Forget the rest, The Bank Hotel is the new top spot in town!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Rock Manali Hotel Spa; City: Manali Manali Tehsil Kullu District Himachal Pradesh; Review: We visited Rock manali last year in August. It is an extraordinary hotel with friendly and polite staff. The hotel is very well maintained, the staff is always courteous, the food is always fresh and yummy. It is also very well located i.e. very close to the main market and alongside the river. Manali trip is incomplete without a stay in Rock Manali.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comrade Inn; City: Srinagar Srinagar District Kashmir Jammu and Kashmir; Review: I stayed in this hotel in October 2012. The hotel and its rooms and nice and clean.

Title: Aqueen Hotel Lavender; City: Singapore; Review: We decided to stay at this hotel after reading the various reviews by other members. Indeed, this hotel is very well located.. i.e. in the heart of the city. Its close to the station, bus stand, mustafa centre etc.. most of the things are at a walking distance. The rooms are small but very neat and well designed. The food menu however, is not apt for the indian palette. This is the only area where they may improve upon. All in all, a very pleasant stay.. will be back; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: WelcomHotel Pine N Peak Pahalgam Member ITC s Hotel Group; City: Pahalgam Anantnag District Ka; Review: The hotel is very well located. Its quite and serene. The views from the garden are breadthtaking. On our visit they gave us a room in the basement which was quite bad with no ventilation and also it was very dark and damp. On our complaint they shifted us to the first floor the next day. The rooms on the first floor are nice and have a very pretty view. The only drawback in this hotel is food. The food they serve is really very bad..; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: First World Hotel Resorts World Genting; City: Genting Highlands Pahang; Review: we stayed in a Superior Deluxe room at this hotel.. the room was huge! it was neat and had a breadthtaking view of the theme park below. we were on the 20th floor i guess.. this place is totally happening and we cherished every moment spent there. even the breakfast buffet was extravagant. Even as vegetarian indians, we had a variety to choose from. if you ever visit genting highland, this is the place to stay! The only drawback however, is that we had to wait for about an hour to check in.. its really really crowded..; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Fort Aguada Resort Spa Goa; City: Sinquerim North Goa District Goa; Review: me and my husband stayed in a cottage at vivanta by taj-fort aguada. Must say, this property is awesome.

Title: Swiss County; City: Munnar Idukki District Kerala; Review: This was our second visit to munnar. We selected this hotel after reading all the reviews about this place. Truly, this hotel is amazing. Beautiful tea gardens are just 5 mins walk away from place. The food is excellent and always fresh. For a small hotel with just seven rooms, they have really done a great job. Will be visiting again for sure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Green Cove Resort Spa Kovalam; City: Kovalam Thiruvananthapuram District Kerala; Review: This was the last destination of our Kerela trip and surely the best. We checked into the hotel and to our surprise, were upgraded to an awesome suite which had the best view of the lake and the beach. The room was great but the overall property was simply awesome.

Title: Meriyanda Nature Lodge Coorg; City: Madikeri Kodagu Coorg Karnataka; Review: It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The food is fresh and tasty. The staff is exceptionally courteous.

All in all, an amazing experience in the lap of nature.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oak Ray Tea Bush Ramboda; City: Ramboda Central Province; Review: For the price they charge, its strictly average. Visit this place only for the breathtaking views.

Title: Mount Havana; City: Gampola Kandy District Central Province; Review: This place is absolutely serene and with only five rooms in the property, gave us absolute privacy. They graciously provided us with indian vegetarian food and well as some lip smacking sri-lankan vegetarian delicacies. The chef really outdid himself. They took us on a tour of their farm from where they get fresh produce and prepare it freshly for the customers. One of my best hotel stays i must say!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vythiri Resort; City: Vythiri Wayanad District Kerala; Review: This resort is secluded in the middle of the forest which makes it really unique. Image waking up to fresh air and weather with clouds entering your balcony!! The staff is super friendly and courteous and food is also great. All in all a very good experience. Only thing that might trouble you is constant entering of insects or lizards in your room which you cant help as its their territory. But the staff is swift to get rid of them and take them out..; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Have read them all and even with seven books in the series, the author is keeping it fresh and interesting! These books are VERY tame, but still so enjoyable!

Title: Faking It; Author: Visit Amazon's Elisa Lorello Page; Review: I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did! Honestly, it was .99 and I was looking for a distraction. I ended up thoroughly enjoying this book and when I was finished reading it I had this great feeling of "empowered sexy woman" so I'm thinking I learned some lessons reading it as well as the main character! The synopsis gives a pretty accurate description of the contents. There were a couple spots in the book that I kind of glossed over; the author got a little too involved in description but all and all a definite recommend. I just downloaded the second book by this author, think it's a sequel, (hope so!) I really found myself caring about the characters in this book and felt the anguish Andi felt, wishing it didn't have to be so hard, making a life changing decision; I wanted to know more about what happened next in their life and where Devin would end up...Can't wait to start the next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Gone (Five Star Expressions); Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Fenech Page; Review: This was a free offer for my kindle when I got it and I was a bit skeptical, I've gotten some really bad "free" books lately, but I was on my toes from beginning to end with this one! Aside from some weird formatting towards the end (the font changed for about 3 pages in a couple spots)I defiantly recommend this book, the current $2.99 price is well worth it! The author did a good job keeping my interest in the characters and plot as well as keeping me from figuring out who the bad guy was to the end. Though Clare kind of annoyed me at times with her pig-headedness it was in keeping with her character. I would have liked a little more background on why her mother did what she did,but all and all it was a very entertaining read.

Bu I like to think that I am objective enough if I don't like a book I WILL SAY SO AND IF I LOVE IT I WILL TELL YOU THAT TOO! Flee jumps in no holds barred action packed from page one. It's non- stop pulse racing grab you by the guts thriller that I wanted to go on and on! I am not the biggest spy thriller type reader but this held my interest, I did not want to put it down. Chandler the lead character is a spy in a deeply undercover, very few know about spy/assassin ring somehow her cover gets blown and the assassins coming for her are as good or nearly matched with her. I can't go in any further without giving away major plot lines but it is surprising, plausible and action packed! Even though I sometimes had a hard time relating to Chandler she seemed so robotic at times, t was easier to understand her after the gloss over explanation of how she was raised. I wish the authors had gone more into depth with the family/sisters and how each was raised and how it all came to be with each one. But I guess that leaves room for a sequel! I also loved the Jack Daniels interaction. I haven't read the previous books involving that character but I may be doing that soon! Even if you can't get this book for free I defiantly recommend buying it or looking for it at your local library, you will not be disappointed!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Divine Justice; Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl Kaye Tardif Page; Review: Divine Justice Starts out with CFBI Agent and Pyro-Psychic Jasi McLellan in the hospital battling a serious infection that threatens to claim her life. While in a coma she remembers the Parliament Murders. Divine Justice is number two in a series about PSI/CFBI agent Jasi MCLellan. Set in Canada, Jasi and her PSI team, agents with special psychic abilities, try desperately to find the abductor/murderer of members of Parliament before more go missing/turn up murdered. National security is at risk and to complicate things further, Jasi has recently rekindled her relationship with an old flame, you have a great story with some serious combustion! I enjoyed the story however, found some parts confusing as there were many references to the first book in the series which I had not read. Author Cheryl Kaye Tardiff writes in a fast paced in-your-face style that I enjoyed very much. I ended up purchasing the first in the series "Divine Intervention" because I had to know the rest of the story. I recommend this book and the first in the series; I will be looking forward to the next as well. DISCLAIMER:I received a complimentary copy of the book DIVINE JUSTICE in exchange for my review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Revenge of the Homecoming Queen (Aspen Brooks); Author: Visit Amazon's Stephanie Hale Page; Review: Every so often I just want to sit down with a book that purely entertains me, I don't learn anything, (except maybe the outrageous behavior of teens) no hidden agendas. This book is a perfect example, if you are looking for chic lit here it is! Fluff Fluff Fluff!! Aspen is a senior in high school, one of the privileged ones, you know, the one who got EVERYTHING she ever wanted and more? The one we all wanted to be if only for a moment? Well Aspen is getting hers, she loses the Homecoming Crown, loses her boyfriend, her mom , a few girls she doesn't even like, and nearly loses her life. Thru all of this ( in one week!!) She discovers that she really is a shallow person and does a 180 to get the guy, solve the mystery and become the town hero all while staying true to her fashionista self. The premise is good, the book is well written and I really enjoyed this author's voice. I would defiantly buy more in this series, IF the price comes down; $9.99 for a fluff book is NOT in my budget!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Summer of Firefly Memories (The Loon Lake Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Joan Gable Page; Review: I read Summer of Firefly Memories fairly quickly; it kept me guessing what would happen next. I really enjoyed the storyline and the author made me care about each of the sisters lives and rang true to life in their relationships and the things that we think hold true our entire lives. I loved when each sister finally comes clean with their version of the past only to find that each remembers it differently and how that changed the perspective of the youngest "wild" sister. Summer of Firefly Memories is a great beach read, and will have you wondering in the end if the things you remember from childhood are the same as your siblings.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Family Magic; Author: Visit Amazon's Patti Larsen Page; Review: I started reading this series because I got the first one free and it just sucked me right in! I'm now on the 4th book and have already purchased the next 4! The price for the sequels is actually pretty reasonable $4.99 for kindle addition; the 1st Family Magic is $.99 at this time. Defiantly worth purchase! I hope that the author keeps the price at this rate and doesn't jack up the price because she sells a few like I've seen others do. FAMILY MAGIC by Patti Larson Syd is a family witch/half demon, who at 16 just wants to be "normal" but her family (mother) is the head of a powerful coven so she cannot "cast out" her magic and demon, until her 18th birthday when she gets to choose to leave her family and coven or join them. A well rounded cast of characters and believable plot will keep you reading, so don't start it before you go to bed as you will be up until the last page and ordering the next book in the series! This was my first Patti Larson book and I am terribly impressed with her writing! I can't really say much else without giving away major plot, but if you like paranormal stories, witches, vampires, demons and Sidhe, you will enjoy these too!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Finding Emma; Author: Visit Amazon's Steena Holmes Page; Review: I stumbled on Finding Emma in my recommendations.. and wow. Just WOW. It is a book I would have read had I found it in the library; I normally do all free books for my kindle fire. Actually I have more books on that thing then I will ever be able to read in a lifetime, but I bought this one because it was so intriguing.. A new view of "kidnapping". When I read the summary I thought that I had already read this book, but I was so wrong. There is no way to adequately describe this book without giving away the plot so I am just going to say BUY it!!!! It will be the best 3 bucks you ever spent! And defiantly plan to buy "Emma's Secret" as well, seriously, you cannot pass up these two wonderful, heartwarming tear jerker smiling and nodding as you read books. And I just can't say enough about how much I enjoyed them!!! I'm going to leave a similar review on Emma's Secret, if you like Jodi Picoult, Maeve Binchy, Debbie Macomber, Susan Wiggs., and Luanne Rice you will love Steena Holmes! Amazing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Secrets of a Spiritual Guru: Real Estate, Yoga & Lies (Guru 1); Author: Tamara Lee Dorris; Review: I absolutely love Tamara Lee Doris's writing voice. It reminds me of myself and my friends when we get together. Melissa Murphy the main character is brought to life in the words, and there were times while reading the book I was thinking "would someone really do that?" I realized yes a lot of women who were in her shoe may just have well done the same things.. sneaking a peek at the one who replaced her.. it all just flowed in a way that made me want Melissa to come out on top with a shining smile and great attitude. So much like myself she struggled to make herself do the things she knew would be good for her all the while fighting the other side of herself telling her to go ahead and drink another glass! lol I finished this book with a smile on my face and wanting more!! I cannot wait until the sequel! I did check out the authors fb & web site and found her to be just as funny on there as her writing in this book. Highly recommend!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casey's Quest (Volume 1); Author: Tamara Lee Dorris; Review: I have to pre-face with the information that the author provided me with a copy of this book for review. That being said, I would not give a good review for a free book, might jump into traffic or something equally crazy but if the book sucks I would be honest. To begin I found the author Tamara Dorris when I read another book by her, Secrets of a Spiritual Guru, (link below) That book had me rolling on the floor so when I finished it, as is my habit, I searched for other books by the same author.. So thrilled to find her website AND face book page. Emailed her about the book and she provided me with an oversize paperback. I started the book quickly but began read much more slowly, only allowing a couple chapters at a time because I knew it was going to end it is a healthy 30 chapter book... I could have easily read the entire book in one sitting but it was so good and I was enjoying the story line so much I wanted to savor it... like a fine wine! In fact I will probably read it again right before the sequel. Casey's Quest begins with her father's `funeral and the days that follow, helping her mother and discovering secrets that her father "the Colonel" and her mother kept her whole life. Casey had no idea that she had been adopted when she was 4 years old, had no memory of a time when these people were not her parents. Her quest to find answers about her previous life lead down some strange and twisting paths, and without revealing the really great plot, Casey's biological mother, was involved in some weird scary stuff! And the tie-ins to the things happening in her life now are going to be very interesting in the sequel! Also very interested to see where Andrew fits in to all of this, is he being straight with her or is he hiding much more than she thinks? I kept waiting for that shoe to drop! Casey has also started a new job, her first "grown up" job, working for a bank in their mortgage retention department. The author included lots of interesting details and true empathy on the author's part of what it is like to have to tell people that their house is being taken and sold at sheriff's sale every day. Ugh. I would hate that! Casey accidentally stumbles on some information that points to some shady dealings with the bank and one particular client. Without a spoiler, let's just say good choice on the character and her son. My only disappointment in this part of the story line is that Casey seems a little too nave, seriously, she doesn't watch the news or read a newspaper and struggles to find an online newspaper?? Apparently she doesn't have Google. Not important really, just an observation. I sincerely loved this book and was very sorry when it ended.. I absolutely cannot wait until the sequel comes out!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ink and Bone; Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Unger Page; Review: Fantastic read. So hard to put down I was late for work twice! Lisa Unger has once again delivered a page turner that keeps you hanging on the end of every word, violently turning pages in haste to read the next words. The unexpected twist toward the wrapping up, happily surprised me and took the predictability meter down. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend starting it when you have time to read it through.....you will not want to put it down!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Fisher-Price Grow-to-Pro Pogo; Brand: Fisher-Price; Review: We bought this for our 6 yr old son for Christmas and he LOVES it.

Title: Razor Kixi Mixi Scooter; Brand: Razor; Review: My 4 year old loves this scooter. We have it set up with the three wheels for now but having the flexibility to change it to two wheels is great. Now he can keep up with his big brother.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Under Armour Ozsee Backpack; Brand: Under Armour; Review: This backpack has a cool design and my camo loving, Under Armour obsessed son loves it. It has one side mesh pocket for water bottles. I do wish it had one on both sides for more functionality. The inside has a pocket that is perfect to protect his folders and papers that could easily bend. The straps are pretty lengthy and hang when tightened for a smaller child (utilizing for a second grader). Overall, good buy and is withstanding the daily abuse of a busy boy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Still wash up great and wanted two pairs for my younger son.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Duck Dynasty My First Duck Call 2 Pack (Colors Vary); Brand: A&E Studios; Review: I got these for my son but probably better off just buying an inexpensive real duck call. This sounds nothing like the real thing and my son was immediately disappointed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Wild Sports NFL Shield Tailgate Toss Bean Bag Game; Brand: Wild Sports; Review: Great bang for the buck. Decent construction although it did arrive with some scratches. Will work just fine though and my 9 year old Chiefs fan thought it was great! Easily stored under his bed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bat Grip Choke up Rings 2-pack for Youth Baseball, Softball and Tee Ball; Brand: Grippi Ring; Review: This really helped my 9 year old with the correct positioning. We purchased a 30" inch so that it can last into 12U majors. This helped with his swing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Maritim Antonine Hotel Spa; City: Mellieha Island of Malta; Review: We have just returned from an excellent week at this hotel. On arrival we were upgraded to the Penthouse suite - for no apparent reason! The apartment was excellent - cleaned every day and beds changed half way through the week. Bathrobes and pool towels were also provided. Jacuzzi on the balconey no less!! Food in the hotel and the surrounding area - was way above average - and to my delight Gluten Free dining was no problem at all. Bread & Rolls were provided at breakfast and all restuarant staff had a very good understanding of the importance of getting it right when dealing with Coeliac guests. The Pizzeria below the hotel offered gluten free Pizza and pasta and even a gluten free cake. All staff were very friendly and pleasent but the gold star goes to the restaurant manager of the Arches Restuarant across from the hotel - when he discovered my gluten free needs not only did he ensure I was provided with suitable dishes - he also contacted the hotel to ensure they were providing for me. Total recommend this area to anyone who requires a special diet !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Clubhouse Hotel; City: Nairn Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: I have eaten here on various occasions over the past few months. The staff without exception have been very helpful, cheery and professional. The atmosphere is relaxing and warm even with the various TVs that are constantly on. On one occasion there was a function being held - the staff pre-empting slow service provided us with bread etc while we waited - I was offered an excellent gluten free alternative with out even having to ask. There was no delay in service. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing value for money meal in Nairn.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Tulloch Castle Hotel; City: Dingwall Ross and Cromarty Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Was looking forward to a "safe" Xmas lunch in a hotel that seemed to have an excellent reputation. Given that we had prebooked and informed that a gluten free meal was required the result was very disappointing. The waitress approached me in the dining room asking if I knew who was g.f. Good start - as it was me. She promptly told me I would be having the soup and risotto. I wasn't asked if this was ok. I replied I was happy to have the soup but as there was salmon on the menu I would preferred that. To be told you can only have the risotto ( pea & spinach) To which I replied I am not vegeterian I would like the salmon. She agreed to see what she could do. The soup arrived. Portion size very small. Bread for everyone except me. Once again given they had prior notice providing a gluten free roll should not have been a problem for a hotel boasting such high standards. Main course arrived. Salmon cooked to perfection however very little else on the plate apart from five very small carrots and a very small burnt roast potato!!! The pudding of panacota was delicious. Instead of being told I was having the risotto I could have been offered the Turkey without the sausage and stuffing and maybe the gravy. Turkey eaters certainly got better value for money with plenty meat and veg served. Most coeliac prefer not to be the topic of conversation at the dinner table but when it starts to go wrong that's exactly what happens. Very disappointing visit to what seems like a lovely hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Glenrigh Guest House; City: Oban Argyll and Bute Scotland; Review: We stayed here B&B for one night recently.The room whilst fairly small was immaculate. The added touch of bottled water in the room was a welcome extra. I had requested a gluten free breakfast. A very substantial "hot" breakfast arrived including g/f toast. My experience of G/F breakfast often results in a half empty plate, but on this occasion the missing usuals were replaced with extras ie: two eggs. The staff were very attentive and helpful, offering us more tea, coffee and toast without having to ask. We will definately be returning and would highly recommend staying at this Guest house.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aguamarina Golf Hotel; City: Golf del Sur San Miguel de Abona Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Just spent an all inclusive week at this hotel. Although the accommodation and general service were very good, I'm afraid as a traveller suffering from Coeliac Disease it was a total disaster. On arrival I explained my condition to restaurant staff. Even explaining as "sin gluten" there was very little understanding from the staff. One restaurant manager, a waiter & a superb waitress named Sasa ensured I was looked after, apart from them every meal was a constant explanation. I was given a g/f menu which was also mostly vegetarian. The quality provided was good but poor choice for a week. Very little on the buffet was g/f, all rice dishes were marked containing gluten. I had a fried egg for breakfast , then discovered pancakes being cooked on same hob and turned with same spatula. Cross contamination central. Scrambled eggs contained gluten. Salad dishes like coleslaw & potato salad contained gluten. No snacks during day. No understanding at snack bar. However the warm g/f rolls I was given were in a sealed bag and were amazing and became a safe staple for the week. Would not recommend to anyone requiring g/f diet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bunchrew House Hotel; City: Inverness Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Attended for afternoon tea on Saturday 2nd June. Two of the party had special diet, one gluten free, one egg free. The variety and quality of food offered was outstanding, and more than equal to that offered to others. The service was excellent with staff given an explanation of the content of every selection of food. A glass of Prosecco added a special touch. A perfect day and would definitely return. The only disappointment was the driver was charged for a glass of coke which should have replaced the Prosecco. Worth considering BH.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Si Ji Four Seasons; Brand: Xuefei Yang; Review: One of the most original CDs I've ever heard. This CD is full of incredible music. Yang XueFei plays with sensitivity, creativity and passion. When I played this CD for my guitar teacher, he commented that it was rare for him not to have heard at least one piece on any particular classical guitar CD, yet all these pieces were new to him. Carlo Domeniconi (who wrote the masterpiece "Koyunbaba") has composed an outstanding suite based on the I Ching. The 3 pieces by Stephen Goss, which are based on Asian films, are themselves cinematic: "The Blue Kite" is a work of minimalist beauty. There are many other talented composers lending their gifts to this CD. Most of the selections are either composed for Yang Xuefei or are arrangements by her. All are inspired by Chinese culture and music. My favorite piece is "Long Outstretched Pier with its Shadow" (by Dietmar Ungerrank); it is elegantly written and the execution is sensual and rich. Yang XueFei's technical agility, especially the right hand, (as in "Yi Dance") goes beyond that of her contemporaries. As impressive as this is, the passion she imbues into each work is what connects her to the songs and ultimately to the audience. Technique is there to help her express what is inside of her. It is as if the guitar is her lover. This just isn't a great guitar album; it is a great album period. Its emotional complexity deepens with each listening. Buy it! I've also purchased "Romance de Amor" which is extremely good as well (listen to her version of "Requerdos de la Alhambra" as compared to one of her heroes, John Williams on "The Guitarist"), but "Si Ji" is totally unique. Don't miss it. As an aside, If you do end up buying and enjoying this CD, you might listen to Lily Afshar. The influence of her Persian heritage is similar in effect to "Si Ji" by Yang XueFei. Both artists have breathed life into the modern repertoire of guitar music.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Romance De Amor; Brand: XUEFEI YANG; Review: Following "Si Ji" is no small task. That CD was a masterpiece of modern guitar; so different from anything else out there that it shines in a totally different light. That being said, "Romance de Amor" showcases some of the great gems of this instrument's repertoire by one of the world's premier guitarists. Yang Xue Fei is a masterful technician, but make no mistake, emotionally she gives her all in every note. After listening to 3 of her CD's (the two already mentioned, and "Classical Guitar") I've been impressed with her passion for music. I've heard her say that she looks at the guitar as a lover. Her playing shows this by being at turns powerful, seductive, intimate, tender and even humorous. She can play incredibly fast and still retain her phrasing and subtlety. "Asturias" has rarely been so explosive "Requerdos de la Alhambra" breaths with a life of its own thanks to her pacing "El Colibri" is a great example of her speed and accuracy If you are at all a fan of classical guitar, you've heard these pieces from other artists. Part of the fun of this genre is hearing how individual artists interpret the same piece. I love the sensitivity of Ana Vidovic, the smokiness of Lily Afshar, the intelligence of the Assad brothers and the sheer artistry of John Williams, and this is just to name a few. One might think that Segovia laid down the law for pieces like Asturias (judging from Christopher Parkening's description of his studies with this great master, Segovia certainly thought so), but Yang Xue Fei is such a wonderful talent, she is a law unto herself. She displays a vitality that makes each piece uniquely hers. To take ownership of these songs with such authority across the board makes this CD a worthy addition to any collection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 40 Degrees North; Brand: Kuefei Yang; Review: Yang Xue Fei is on a mission to change how we listen to guitar. This is an extremely ambitious goal, approached and achieved in the past by the likes of Segovia and Bream. It sets her apart from other guitarists, no matter how wonderful or dazzling their talents. As is always the case with Fei, it's fascinating to observe how her culture influences her art. Her right hand technique, in particular her tremolo, is unique (influenced by the pipa?) and she can draw her repertoire from a civilization stretching back thousands of years. All of this is played through an instrument that came of age in Spain. Perhaps due to existing in two cultures (born in China, now living in the West) she seeks out new ways to bridge the gap. "40 Degrees North" does just that, while pushing her agenda forward in convincing fashion. This collection unites not only two musical traditions, but the body of work that Yang Xue Fei has produced thus far, the logical next step to follow "Si Ji" and "Romance de Amor." The transitions from Spanish compositions to Asian repertoire are smooth and artful; the lightness and tranquility of "Jasmine Flower" is magnified by the brightness of "Castilla" which precedes it. The transition from "Blue Orchid" to "Variations on the Carnival" is seamless; borders are erased and energies fused. Yang joins these two different aesthetics, and though she makes the task seem effortless, it's born from years of discipline, native artistic talent and a pioneering spirit. The material spans 3 centuries, and includes strong compositions by Stephen Goss (who shares Yang's musical goals), traditional Chinese pieces and Spanish repertoire. The Chinese pieces might be new for most Western ears, though fans of Asian music will recognize many themes. "The Butterfly Lovers" stands out for its tenderness and elegance. The Spanish works sound new again thanks to Yang's arrangements and timing, as well as the placement (playing order) mentioned previously. The Valses Poeticas have never been so aptly named. She just makes little changes, but it makes a world of difference. This is her strong suite, never to be satisfied, always to want for a new creation. This is her great gift to us as listeners. This is the third recording of "Yi Dance" by Yang. The first (Classical Guitar by Xue Fei Yang) was filled with exuberance. For the second outing (Si Ji) the arrangement was revised significantly. This current version is the polished result of hundreds of performances over the years. She dances between the literal, the symbolic and the abstract qualities that tie all the elements together; we watch the song, we listen to the dance. The pauses have been tightened by microseconds and either her playing or the recording techniques have brought out the undertones to brilliant effect. Listening to the 3 variations in succession, one can see how she has both sharpened and softened her talents over the last few years. She is able to transport the listener to a new landscape through her power of expression and great technical skills. "40; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bach Concertos; Brand: XUEFEI YANG; Review: Hearing Xuefei Yang's Bach Concertos, you could almost be convinced that Bach had written specifically for the guitar. The truth is, Bach wrote for the ages and great artists such as Yang are the sands that keep the hourglass endlessly flowing. She has a rare musical talent that becomes even more so when it comes to reinterpretation; she is adept at providing a fresh angle while not losing the original composition. With the Elias Ensemble, she's come up with arrangements that sound very natural as guitar concertos; whether it is scalar runs in track 3 and 4 (Harpsichord Concerto No. 1 in D Minor) or the crisp hammer-ons and pull-offs in track 6 (Violin Concerto 1 Allegro), its more than top notch guitar playing, it becomes transcendent due to her openness to both musical and technical possibilities. There are understated percussive sounds, or little twists on technique unlike anything I've heard in previous readings of these pieces regardless of the instrument. It all seems innate to the music though and there is an effervescence that is intoxicating. Yang is involved in a very open give and take with the compositions; she is taking chances, but the negotiation is respectful of the original pieces. There is an air of discovery that these subtle inventions grant. For a good example of this listen to Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major Allegro. It is as full and strident as ever, but the sustained note (impossible on the classical guitar) about 45 seconds into the Adagio becomes a trill, or half step interval that highlights the vernacular of the guitar. Other guitarists have substituted whole notes plucked once over each measure of sustain, so even among her peers on the guitar, Yang is providing an arresting alternative to either that or even a straight tremelo. Think of how many violinists have stated their souls in this note alone and it becomes a defining moment. Her voicing and accentuation in Violin Sonata in G minor BWV1001 Fugue are very much representative of how she brings a piece to life. Whether subtle or overt, there is always a forward motion and her artistic choices seem to be an expression of divine will at times. Yang can routinely infuse influences from many different sources and though the Adagio from Violin Sonata in G minor BWV1001 may have subdued tinges of Spanish and Asian colors, this is the most straightforward I've heard her play. Over all there is a naturalism that brings both solo and ensemble works to the ear unadorned. This richly informed musicality along with her fluid technique and innovative arrangements translate into timeless beauty.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fantasia; Brand: Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninov; Review: Hearing the Scarlatti and Chopin included in this collection shot me back to a solo recital I had the pleasure of attending 2 years ago. It was a dazzling display of virtuosity from this young artist and then came the encores which were an enchanting set all their own. This fulfills my wish to have a recording to take home from that night. These are all pieces Yuja Wang encores with and it is a pretty clever presentation to boot; it picks up with her playing Rachmaninov which is where she left off in her last release and follows with a well matched selection predominantly from the Romantic period. To hear someone this young who has mastered the piano to this extent makes me examine my preconceptions about what it takes to be a seasoned classical musician (come to think of it there are a lot of impressive players these days under 30). She has found the pocket between intellect and feeling and filled it with magnificent technique which is equal parts fury and nuance. Encores are usually crowd pleasers and as well very personal in their nature. They are the artist's choice for a parting gift. The performer and audience bond even more tightly and it becomes their way of putting off goodbye. Fantasia captures the feeling of celebration and triumph that comes with the territory.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Grandeur Of The Baroque; Brand: David Russell; Review: These compositions by Bach, Handel, Couperin and Weiss display distinctly different characteristics with Russell providing subtlety and color that highlight the composers beyond any era. It's an elegant and pure performance, and for the student of guitar, this is an excellent study of Baroque ornamentation and style. Russell has a very pianistic tone, round with barely an edge, and the execution is clearly detailed and defined. It's an authoritative study. I don't sense a concept, something a good many contemporary releases come with. I like the subtext that a concept carries, as with the Assad Brothers' "Saga dos Migrantes" or Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Project. But the framework provided by the Baroque period is more than strong enough already and his playing is extraordinary. Concerning recording quality, with Russell it always sounds like the listener is a third of the way back in the hall with a touch of natural reverb. This takes off a little of the top end of the sound spectrum, but I think it also contributes to that pianistic quality I referred to earlier. It also prepares you for the live performance, he always packs the house so good luck getting close to the stage if you aren't a season subscriber. Anyway, it is the way he wants it since his sound is consistent across his body of work. He possesses mature artistry and it is hard to conceive just how well he plays because he makes it look simple. It is plain-spoken eloquence.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Live at Carnegie Hall: Beethoven Symphonies 5 & 7; Brand: Ludwig van Beethoven; Review: This sounds like a totally unedited live performance and it IS live in every sense of the word. It is blood coursing through your body when passions run high. Its concise, its exciting. I love the sound quality of the period instruments. You get the sense of listening to an old analog recording because of the warmth and balance, but its digital of course so the detail is all there-just a superior listening experience that makes you glad to be alive. Conductor John Gardiner shows fantastic musicianship and keeps a vital, brisk pace, much faster than any recording I am familiar with (though now I'm going to seek out the earlier recordings of Gardiner with the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique) and much less varnished so the pieces can breath. The instruments seem to be talking much more to each other, strings and brass are less isolated. I think what really comes out in these recordings is the punctuation that percussion provides while not being any more forward in the mix, and an earthier tone overall. It is like Beethoven is coming up to you and saying "THIS is what I MEANT!" I've got a few recordings of these symphonies on vinyl, but even the tonal warmth of that medium doesn't quite match this release. I feel like I got a new set of ears for Christmas.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying); Author: Visit Amazon's Robin D. Laws Page; Review: This book is all about Devils and the Plane where they reside. I mean all about them. In my mind there are three really fantastic masterminds in Dungeons and Dragons: Dragons, Mindflayers and Devils. If you're looking for content you can use all the time, then this isn't the best book for you. Go look at the compendiums or the Complete books. If you want villains and powers to tie together an entire campaign from level 1 into epic, than this is for you. Included inside is a very nice tale of the creation of hell and the devils that can be easily adapted for your home brew world. Then theres feats, spells, prestige classes, descriptions of the layers and lots of new devils. Again I must stress that the prestige classes, feats and spells are really geared towards either serving devils or fighting them. This book is a commitment to a devil themed campaign. It does so beautifully. With the help of this book, my main villain just became a pawn in planar politics. My PCs have lots of options, on how to progress forward. I've got lots of ideas and environments for epic feeling quests before we get to the main devils. I highly reccomend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Monster Manual V (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying); Author: Wizards Team; Review: All in all this is a good book. It's not a great book, but it's a solid additional Monster Resource. I'll hit you with the bad, first. There are three section devoted to already printed monsters with class levels: vampires, kuo-tao and hobgoblins. Now I can understand how this could be useful to some people, but it seems to me it should either be a web supplement or a separate book. Each of these sections takes up more room than a regular monster entry. That means you miss out on several new monsters for each one of these entries. Some of these spots include classes from some the other popular supplements, like the complete books. For me this is a positive because it makes them seem more unique, so I might use them. If you don't own the books the classes are from, they include enough information to still make them usable. The other bad, was the two maps that were included. Each takes up about a page and were published separately on their website. Which means they simply take up room. Now the good. Lot's of new monsters, most of which could easily appear on Material Plane. The range of difficulty is vast. They are fun ideas, that would probably not be apparent to players running into them, and seem very easy to run. Several have stats on how to make them familiars or mounts. Two of the biggest fears were of the inclusion of Mind Flayers who follow Thoon and the Dragon Game. I actually have found these to be the two biggest positives in the book. The Thoon Mind Flayers are not, for the most part, Mind Flayers with Character levels. They're different types of Mind Flayers and Mind Flayer creations. They're all really fun, with varying CR. They're written as a separate sect, but they really don't have to be. There's even an Elder Brain with a CR of 15. This way you can have an elder brain battle before getting to Epics. The Dragon Game, takes up a little too much room for my liking. There's a lot of fluff here. Dig through and you'll find a real gem. The template that can be applied takes away sorcerer levels form the dragons and replaces them with special abilities that are simple to use and make them seem more like dragons. It also gives you easy ways to make dragons a more intense and plot oriented part of your campaign world.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chronicles of the Planeswalkers, Part Zero (book 1 of 3); Author: B. T. Robertson; Review: Brief Synopsis: Here we have a high Fantasy tale about a band of heroes formed to stop a great evil from returning to the land. The Good: A good mix of classic high fantasy and different ideas. You're bound to recognize elves, giants and humans as just that, but they'll also surprise you. Just because they're called something doesn't mean you can assume how they'll act. The story has a classic feel while pursuing a very fun idea. It's clear the writer enjoyed himself when piecing together the characters and plot and that transfers to the reader. Certain characters becoming sparkling clear and rich. The Bad: The common knowledge came off in a very awkward and confusing way. It could be that we're dealing with a group that has drastically different degrees of knowledge but sometime I just can't tell what's common knowledge and what's great lore. The first part of the books pacing seems inconsistent. Things go from dire to calm, and from quick moving writing pace to slow and colorful. The transitions between the two didn't flow in my mind. This seemed to disappear and flow nicely halfway through the book. To get to the heart of the matter: I defiantly recommend the read and look forward to tackling Part One after I'm done with Worldbinder. The pirates and Giants were especially entertaining and I get the feeling that what comes next will dwarf the events I've already read in terms of epic importance.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Karen Memory; Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Bear Page; Review: This is a great book. I love fantasy and sci-fi but this is the first book that I would call specifically call Steampunk for me. I found no difficulty getting immersed in the world as a relatively new fan of the genre, and would not hesitate to recommend it to others who want to get into steampunk. I was a fan of the fashion, art and games of steampunk before this. The best part of this book for me was the details. The author describes elements of the world in full, colorful and engrossing language. For those who love to really picture new worlds you will love this. She doesn't force it all in when a area is introduced, instead it comes in spurts to keep the narrative flowing. The author also manages to use a very diverse cast and it never feels forced. Ever. I would love to read another novel featuring some of these characters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Another Castle: Grimoire; Author: Visit Amazon's Andrew Wheeler Page; Review: I loved this story! This is completely self-contained (instead of just volume one). Plays with classic fairytale tropes as well as gender roles with out feeling forced or contrived. The art is very cute.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stone Mad: A Karen Memory Adventure; Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Bear Page; Review: This is one of those books I think I like, then I end up ranting about the characters for half an hour and I realize it's a book I love. The plot is very episodic and self-contained. There are steampunk and fantasy elements but the story is primarily focused on a diverse group of strong females trying to stay alive and enforced their personal identities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Awesome; Author: Visit Amazon's Eva Darrows Page; Review: This book is awesome. There's a slowly built ensemble cast that will leave you wanting more. Realistic personalities even among vampires, ghouls and zombies. Plus butts. Lots of Butts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: This Is the Zodiac Speaking: Into the Mind of a Serial Killer; Author: Michael D Kelleher Ph.D.; Review: This is a must read book, which offers a psychological analysis by (David Van Nuys) and a journalistic viewpoint (Michael D. Kelleher) who is a skillful author, who delivers a comprehensive and well written account into the elusive and twisted mind of the Zodiac killer. It is obvious that Kelleher is well versed on this subject and Van Nuys, an accomplished professional in his field. Together, they blend their talents into this book, to offer the reader credible and insightful explanations into the mind and personality of this killer who possessed some disturbing emotional, psychological and personality disorders. Since there are a myriad of myths and legends of the Zodiac killer, these authors dispel these myths and cut through these misconceptions to offer a frank and honest assessment that is plausible, given our insights into the criminal mind through psychological profiling, an area unheard of in the heyday of the Zodiac. I think this book is one of the best accounts on this subject and necessary to give one a truer perspective into this twisted mind of Zodiac.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mortal Error: Shot That Killed JFK; Author: Visit Amazon's Bonar Menninger Page; Review: I haven't finished the book but I watched the episode on NETFLIX by Australian investigator Colin Mc Laren; and I feel that the conclusions drawn by ballistics expert Donahue are right on with the forensic evidence supporting his conclusions. I'm reading the book presently but the forensic evidence, and there is a lot, does support the type of ammunition used by the Secret Service - which would have fragmented - evidenced by the 20 to 30 fragments of lead found in Kennedy's skull x-ray- that is extremely important in this tragic event. When you add the other factors like, "Why did Kennedy's brain disappear?, Why did the Secret Service abscond with Kennedy's body-against the vehement objections of the attending forensic pathologist, who was required to do the autopsy-required by Texas law, and the evidence of archival photographs of Kennedy's head wound, offers powerful evidence that agent Hickey fired the fatal round. But do your own reading- this book is well written and highlights the archival data and photographs of Warren Commission findings and historical records. Being in law enforcement for 33 years, I overlooked the significance of the fragments found in Kennedy's skull, and all this time, this crucial evidence was right in front of me, since Oswald was firing full jacketed ammunition-which does not fragment. The angle of Kennedy's wound is just as crucial-and can not be over stated-which would have been in direct line with Hickey's vantage point-coupled with eye witness testimony of the smell of gunpowder, with agent Hickey's unfamiliarity with the AR-15, most likely with a finger on the trigger, instead of alongside of the weapon, were factors that led to this unfortunate tragedy. This book is a must read for those interested in a plausible theory of that tragic day in November.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: JFK: The Smoking Gun; Author: Visit Amazon's Colin McLaren Page; Review: I saw this episode on netflix and bought the DVD for my personal collection. It's a plausible explanation by renowned investigator Colin Mclaren-turned writer-based on a forensic examination of the facts surrounding the Kennedy assasasination - using the excellent forensic investigation by Howard Donahue (see the masterful work on his investigation - chronicled by author Bonar Menninger - in his book - Mortal Error) as a foundation to show that the fatal shot came from Secret Service agent Hickey - following directly behind the Kennedy motorcade car. I also bought the book by Mclaren - on the Kindle format-which I'm reading as of this writing. Now that I've read this masterful account, I have to give a great deal of credit to Colin Mclaren, who delved into those massive volumes of the Warren Commission and put together the only plausible account of the Kennedy Assasination. He shows the frustration that Howard Donahue faced and takes his investigation and corroborates his findings with grass roots investigative skills, common sense, and supporting his conclusions with forensic detail- not with non-sensical conspiracy theories. You must read this book by Mclaren, because he supports his conclusions with the volumes of material on the assasination, from credible witnesses, medical records, and the indisputable fact of an exploding bullet causing the fatal head shot that killed our beloved President. Mclaren's masterpiece and Meninger's book from Donahue's research-are the two best accounts of the assasination - that in my opinion, explain it like it should be done - through investigative techniques-no other way!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Abu Garcia 2-Piece Cardinal Bruiser Series Combo; Brand: Abu Garcia; Review: Worst product I have purchased in a while. The reel snapped on me after my 5th cast. cheaply made and not work the box it's shipped in.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Trophy Ridge React 5 Pin Bow Sight; Brand: Trophy Ridge; Review: The composite material was cracked when I took it out of the package. Trophy Ridge was nice enough to send a replacement piece asap. 20yds was fairly easy to sight in after adjusting my peep sight. I will update this review after hunting season with a more detailed review. **Update** I don't recommend this sight to anyone. It's fairly easy to sight in but it doesn't hold a zero. You literally can't touch the thing if you want to keep your zero and be able to make an accurate shot. Once again this thing is garbage.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
