Bethany Fletcher (17 KP) rated Goodreads: Book Reviews in Apps
Jun 26, 2018
I love using Goodreads. It helps me keep track of all of my reading year by year. I like being able to see my yearly progress and compare it to previous reading years. You can follow other users and keep updated on what they are reading and thinking about a book. Along those lines Goodreads is a great way to keep up to date with your favourite authors, publications dates, cover releases. Basically anything you could want. The app is very easy to navigate and simple to use. The website has more options. For example stats, giveaways, finding book groups. Goodreads do lots of book giveaways for free. No review needed to win.
My only gripe is you can only rate a book up to 5 stars. This doesn’t give you a lot of leeway. For example I recently read a book that was not as bad as others I had rated 3 stars but not as good as my 4 star ratings. So what should I do? That is just me being picky. Goodreads is a fantastic way to keep track of you reading and if you are an avid reader I would highly recommend using Goodreads.

Wow. This book had it's moments where I really couldn't put the book down.
It lived up to its thriller genre. It was fast paced and it was written from an interesting point of view. I figured it would be written from Cynthias view as it really was her story to tell but instead it was her husband's view. This made it difficult to judge her as a character as you weren't in her head. This made her even become a suspect in her own families disappearance. But this kept you on your toes so you never really learnt who done it as they say until the final bit of the book.
I have only awarded the 4 stars as dispite the final twist I was disappointed with the outcome with her family. I guess part of me wanted a happy ending not the bitter ending it had. I know it created closure but it would have been nice to have a tiny bit more happy too.
I would recommend this book to anyone and others would likely give it 5 stars it's just my personal preference to have had a bit more of an alternative ending.

jmercado (1 KP) rated Waking Gabriel (Sleeping Tom #2) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
First off i just wanna say...THOSE CAPTAIN AMERICA SLIPPERS!! Oh my goodness this book was just amazing, i completely read it in one sitting and just could not put it down. The flow of the book was phenomenal and the character development from the first book to this was just fantastic. The only reason it was given a 4 of 5 Stars (if it was an option it would have been a 4.75) was because of the ending. The momentum built up throughout the book only to end as it did was slightly disappointing..BUT I need to know how it ends and what will happen between Caden and Gabriel. Cant wait for the 3rd and final installment "Rebecca's Redemption".
Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated 1st to Die (Women's Murder Club, #1) in Books
May 10, 2018
I never seem to do things in the right order. This is my third Women's Murderer Club book. I have already read 5 and 6. I gave the book three stars because I didn't like the way it ended.
Four women from four different sides of the law decide to put their collective brains together to solve murder cases. Lindsay the homicide detective, Claire the medical examiner, Jill the assistant district attorney, and Cindy the crime reporter.
When three couples turn up dead after their wedding nights, these ladies work together to find the killer. When they find out that the suspect is someone famous,will Lindsay be able to find enough evidence for an arrest, or will the guilty get away?

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Chocolate Cake in Books
Jun 18, 2018
Chocolate Cake by Michael Rosen is a short picture book about a boy’s love of chocolate cake. The boy ends up not being able to wait for his chocolate cake and this is the storm of his midnight chocolate cake feast. The boys mistake is that is does not clean up his trail of it. His mom figures out what happened in the end, which allows for a lesson on teaching children of being truthful.
The illustrations is great. The illustrations are unique. They appear to be hand drawn which helps the book to authentic.
I have this book 4/5 stars.
Thank you Penguin Random House UK Children’s and Puffin via NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Kristin (149 KP) rated Ethan's Story; My Life With Autism in Books
Dec 7, 2018
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I rather enjoyed "Ethan's Story." I don't personally know anyone with autism, but being a Psychology major, I've learned about the spectrum. I like that we get to hear (and see, thanks to the wonderful illustrations) what it's like for Ethan to be at school and around other people, in his own words. This would be a very good book to show/read to a child who either has autism or is a classmate of someone who has it, so they might better understand what's going on. At the end, I really wanted to be Ethan's friend!!
5 stars, and I hope he writes more =)

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Anthologies are always towards the top of my list of things to read, as you get many different stories at once, boiled down in neat, easy-to-handle packages. PDGA is a wonderful collection, and once I started, I couldn't put it down! There were several stories that I'd love to see extended into or followed up by larger works (if they haven't been already), and there was enough of a diversity that everybody should be able to pick a favorite. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves the paranormal, but may not have the time to sit down with an entire novel. Look forward to another of its kind!
