ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS

 My laptop crashed and the Book Nook Retreat facebook is locked up and I cannot access it any longer as it was tied into that Edge browser that was on my laptop. When I try to access that facebook it gives me a notification that it wants to send a message to my device (that laptop) to get permission to open up on another device and since the laptop no longer works then I cannot access that notification.


What does this mean to you?  It means that when I buy a new laptop later this week then I will need to create a new facebook and refriend everyone. Maybe. I won't know till I can see what I can do. If it doesn't let me access it then will have to go completely new once again. 


Luckily I was able to access my blog as it is on Google so that was easy. However all my artwork that was stored on my laptop is now gone but thankfully a lot of it is stored on this blog.

This is the only way that I could get a message out to all of you. My friend Angel Gelique added a comment to my coffee post that I put up yesterday morning to let everyone know I was broke down with the laptop. But thought I would also post a blog announcement on here too about it.


I hope to be up and running by the weekend maybe. 


Thank you all for your support and understanding!

The Handyman by Bentley Little

 


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Suspensefully Scary" Stars


Nightmare Spooks!

A small taste of what lies within:

Something is a little off with handyman, Frank Watkins as Daniel Martin remembers the man was not quite right in the head and the things he would say and do frightened Daniel when he was growing up. Now that he is a man Daniel remembers what he went through with Frank being a neighbor and he sets off to find Frank to put his mind at ease, but what he finds in his quest to hunting Frank down is more questions than answers and lots of scary factors in between which makes Daniel's hunt for Frank a mission of urgency! 

That is about all I can hand out on a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This story by author, Bentley Little was one spooky ride into a haunted realm of suspense, mystery, and terror! I loved this story so much and it gave me shivering quivers as I would read this book late into the night!  This book reminds me of when I first started reading Bentley Little way back in the late 90's. 

The story just grabbed me and took me down into a deep pit of "spooks and scares" along with a twisted ride into suspense and tons of mystery that surrounds the handyman character, Frank Watkins. 

The author keeps the mystery of this character wrapped up tight all the way to the end of the story and only lets the reader get a small glimpse of why the handyman is the way he is throughout the book. The build up of terror starts out slow and makes its way steady throughout the book till the last part of the book when everything seems to go into overdrive as more things are being revealed! Once again the author took me on a "ride of terror" as I careened along to the end of the story! 

I have more books by this author simmering on my kindle and will jump back into his work later this year.

Titanic 666 (2022)

 


My Rating

πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€


Streaming service: Tubi

Date of Movie: 2022

Synopsis:

The Titanic III begins its maiden voyage to the original wreck site where the Titanic went down in 1912. Strange things begin to occur after the ship arrives to its destination and dark forces rise up from the ocean depths. 

Thoughts:

I thought that the movie might be closer to a C- or D- rating as I thought it might end up being a dud however it was kind of creepy - I wasn't crazy about some of the characters though - a couple of them deserved their fate! lol  But all in all it had a few jump scares and it had an overall spooky atmosphere. I thought the movie was really good and it kept me spooked. 😁
