Slow to start as all the storylines are established. But then it gets going. The idea "always leave them wanting more" is one the author really took to heart in this book - every time I'd start getting invested in a story line, it would switch to the next, and then it would happen again. My only complaint is I wish there'd been a bit more resolution of the stories at the end, but that would have gone against the "always leave them wanting more" rule so diligently followed.

I enjoy Lauren Graham as an actress and also as a writer. She's clever, quick witted, insightful and entertaining. This collection is less "Gilmore Girls" and more life and becoming a successful actor in a collection of essays and stories. The audiobook is well narrated as only the author could do.

This one was slow to start, and for a short book like this, that's most of the book. Still a fun series.

An excellent start to a new-to-me series: suspense, tragedy, adventure, mystery. All the James Patterson hallmarks.

This series is fun. Mysteries with a touch of ridiculous stage setting that makes me smile (a witch running a knitting store with a vampire coven living beneath it, joining powers to solve mysteries ans make the world around them a bit better)

Cute YA told from the perspective of a never-been-kissed 17 year old high schooler who's twin sister is forever her champion and defender and has been kissed. Coming of age and all that.

Cute story of mistaken identity with a celebrity twist. A little romance, a little drama, entertaining. Takes place in Toronto.

A retelling of the classic Greek myths in modern language with lots is asides to explain how the names of the Ancient Greek gods and other characters have impacted our language today. Interesting stuff.
