I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Tips for Tuesday - Books: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye & Killer Tracks: A Misty Pines Mystery; Movie: Another End

We may have been given complimentary copies and/or access for review purposes to any books, products, and/or any other visual or audio media mentioned below. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

Books: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye & Killer Tracks

Today, we recommend Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye by Ellie Phillips, DDS.  In this book, Phillips details an allegedly better way of caring for your teeth than the usual cycle of brushing, flossing, and twice-yearly dental visits for teeth cleaning. In her opinion, some of the advice you receive from your dentist is not only ineffective but may actually be harmful.  

In the first part of the book, Phillips discusses what's wrong with the currently accepted system of dental care. In the second, she outlines her Complete Mouth Care System.  Her description is quite thorough and includes exact details, right down to when to do what and what type of products you need. If you are looking to improve your dental health and/or the way you care for your teeth, you'll want to read this book and try Phillips' method. 

Today, we recommend Killer Tracks: A Misty Pines Mystery by Mary Keiilkoa. Sheriff Jax Turner worries about leaving his young deputies in charge when he and his ex-wife go off to an isolated cabin to reconnect; however, when a serial killer he helped put in jail gets out on a technicality, they may not be as off the grid as he would like.  At the same time, Abby Kaneoka, daughter of Jax's former partner, is left in charge for the first time and eager to prove that she's more than up to the task. 

This is a fast-paced and intriguing mystery. Even though it deals with a sociopathic serial killer, it is somewhat light in tone, and it is not overly descriptive in a creepy or gory way, so even if you are not a fan of darker-toned mysteries, you may still like it. You also don't have to have read either of the previous books in the series to follow this book or enjoy it. 

Movie: Another End

Today, we are discussing Another End. This is a futuristic film in which people's dead relatives are brought back to life briefly in the body of another person to give them an opportunity for a proper goodbye. The film is intriguing but also at times confusing. Even though there have been other films with similar twists, the ending is still a surprise that leaves you feeling different than how you thought you would. 

And that's our view. Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye is published now. Killer Tracks: A Misty Pines Mystery will be published next Tuesday, September 30. Another End is now in movie theaters.

Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
