100 Ways to Make Your Baby Smile

Book Rating
This book is absolutely adorable! So so cute! I loved the happy, smiley baby pictures with the bright colours and easy to read sections. The book is basically a list, from 1 to 100, of possible ways to make your little one smile. Some of the ideas are common knowledge, however, I found a few that I never would of thought of...some great ideas! I have tried a couple of the ideas out on my bubs and have had some beautiful smiles. For the presentation of the book I would give 5 stars but as I'm not sure that the rest of the ideas will work (my baby is too young at the moment) I gave this book an overall rating of 4 stars.

Objectively, I feel the book deserves 4 stars, but gr ratings are supposed to be based on your enjoyment, which was a 1 or 2 for me.

I’ve read other books featuring mental illness, the aftermath of atomic bombs, self harm, abuse. I don’t know why I felt so repulsed by this one, but I did. It isn’t a bad book-it’s very good actually, but I hated it.

This was an ARC I received in a giveaway. (Not via goodreads)

3.5 stars.

It's taken me about three week to read this, mainly because I was reading more exciting kindle books but when I lost interest in my current eBook I picked this back up and finished it within a day.

I do love our gang of girls and a certain boy, though he wasn't in it as much as i'd like. But this didn't grab me as much as the last one.

I'll get round to reading book 4 soon.

I was conflicted between giving this book 3 or 4 stars, but decided on 4. This book was very hard to get into. The beginning tells a story that seems to go nowhere. There are a lot of characters introduced right off the bat & it starts off a bit hard to follow. However, if you stick with it this runs out to be a seriously interesting & highly umpredictable read. I had no idea what was going to happen. The 2 main charaters Leo & Raissa are mysterious & intriguing. They seem to be hard to relate to at first, but as the story unfolds they seem almost too human.
If you can stick out the first 100 pages, you will be rewarded with a great read!

Star Wars: Rebellion review: A fully operational 4-hour board game
Looking at the box for Star Wars: Rebellion, the massive new two-to-four-player galactic board game from Fantasy Flight, I had only one thought: "Look at the size of that thing!"

Loosely based on the 1998 video game of the same name, the board game version of Rebellion is ludicrously outsized. The galaxy, too large to fit on a single game board, here sprawls across two. Rebel and Imperial forces aren't represented by cardboard but by 153 plastic miniatures—including three Death Stars and two Super Star Destroyers.

Critic: Nate Anderson

This mystery is somewhat fun to read about. There a mystery that keep you interested in the book. I wonder what is to happen for this couple and family. Who is behind the attacks? Why would they want to attack. Will Elli or even Nathan going to solve this. So far this book has me want get the other books in the series. My first reaction is good so far. I would rate this 4 stars or 4 Rats in my case. I would recommend the author Colleen Coble to others if they asked. I want you to decide if this for you or anyone else to read. Just because I liked it does not mean that you like it. It is up to you.

Elizabeth Pantley has done it again!

Ever since Hayden has arrived at Destiny falls mystery seems to follow her. There is no change in this book as a man who was already thought dead is found, dead! Its down to Hayden, Han, Jaxson and Axel to discover what's going on.

Another fantastic story beautifully written by Elizabeth it captures you into the world of Destiny Falls and the magic that happens around it. I love that every book has a new mystery to be uncovered but I also love the new charecters and the descriptions of them they are so vivid!

Another fantastic story definatly recommended, but please read the others in the series first! I can't wait for book 4!
4/5 stars
