                                Hello, My Book Readers and Movie Watchers

 Happy July, keeping cool, I hope. Here's the book for the week: Foolish by Anna Black. I will be honest, I couldn't read it. Not saying it was a bad book, but it just didn't hold my interest for long. But I will tell you the basics of the story. it's about a woman named November who meets a guy named Tracy. They start off good and end up getting married.  Then the ugly side of Tracy shows up. Did I mention he was handsome, well off, and all that? Well, anyway, the ugly side of him comes out; he's a control freak and dominating. But there's a story of why he's like that. Which I won't tell you if you want to read the book. The characters, from what I read, were good, and the storyline good. It just didn't hold my interest. Maybe I need to re-read it. if you have read it, share your thoughts on what you think about the story.

Also, what are you reading now? I might want to read it too. Come on and share it with me...

                                           Have a Great Reading day & Stay Cool

A Novella

                                                     https://amzn.to/4oON8MI    (amazon)

                                                              
                                  Hello, My Book Lovers and Movie Watchers 

What are you reading today?   Finding Forever by Keisha Ervin is what you call a novella; it's less than 200 pages, and I got this book for two reasons. First, I wanted to see how to write a novella because I want to start writing books like this. Second, I like urban romance. So, I will be killing two birds with one stone with this book, but... This book, in my opinion, is not that good. Here's why the story is about two people, Whitney & Koran; they were teenage lovers. Koran thought he would be with Whiney forever, but she walked out on him with no explanation. Fast forward eight years, they are in their mid-20s, Koran is a drug dealer who has a small army of young boys working for him, selling drugs on the corner. He personally trained, and Whitney is back home, going to college. To get her PhD. They meet by accident again, and they pick up where they left off. Koran keeps pushing her to find out why she left him when they were teenagers. It broke his heart when she did that. Whitney pushes back by lying to him about why she left him. Which causes tension in their so-called relationship. Also, one of the problems they have is that Korean has an ex-girlfriend who can't accept its over between them even though Korean keeps using her for sex, He also stays in the picture because of her son. That's not his, but he raised him, so he felt like it was his and treats the boy like is own son.

Anyway, the characters in the story are not strong enough, meaning that one minute Whiney wants to be just friends with Koran, and the next minute she's telling him how much she loves him.  Also, Koran is a drug pusher, but he's not that strong a leader. He's more of a pushover when it comes to ruling. His ex-girlfriend runs over him along with the guys who work for him. Trina is not letting Koran go, even though she was the one who cheated on him. The story overall was too confusing and too much wishy-washy dialogue, and the plot was not that good. I was hoping for better.

For these characters to be older, they still acted like children, in my opinion. I had to stop reading this story. Which made me disappointed because I wanted to know what happened in the end. If you have read this book and finished this story. Let me know what your thoughts were on it. 

                                                              Happy Reading

                                                 Hello, My Readers and Movie Watchers..

 This movie The Restaurant, had so many good actors in it. It was a good story about relationships and life in general, all set in a New Jersey restaurant. If this were a book, I would be reading and reviewing it.

                                   Hello, My book Readers and Movie Watchers

Happy July. So, what are you reading today?  Sycamore Row by John Grisham is so good. It's about a wealthy businessman named Seth who leaves the bulk of his estate, 22 million dollars, to his housekeeper, Lettie. Some of it he leaves to his brother and the church.  Seth is dying and takes his own life, but before then, he leaves an extensive will with instructions. He wants Jack the lawyer in this small town to execute it.  Seth doesn't leave a dime to his daughter or son, and they will fight to the end to get their hands on his money. In the book, you find out the problems Seth's daughter and his son are going through. Also, the story takes place in 1989 in a small town in Mississippi, where race relations have not improved much.

 This is a story of a lawyer who had to peel back the layers of a will with people fighting trying to get a piece of the money pie.  You are also dealing with the lawyers, Jack's personal issues. Which makes a good story. The ending is the reason why Seth left most of his money to Lettie will make you feel that there are people in this world who try to right the wrongs. That has been done in this world.   It's a good story of mystery, justice, suspense, and greed.  I love a Good Grisham book, don't you? The characters in this book are well thought out, as well as the twists and turns of the story. If you need something long and good to read, this is the book for you.

                                                      Happy Reading
