Emma (519 KP) rated Family Likeness in Books
Jun 15, 2019
This was a book picked by my monthly book club, at first i was a bit dubious as to wether i would like it or not. At first I found the story a bit slow going, but by a quarter of the way through I was loving it. I liked the difference of having two stories running side by side with each other, and also how neatly the author ties both of the stories up and the end of the book.

Despite having an intriguing premise involving re-incarnation, I have to say: I found this book to be quite heavy going, and not so much slow going as moving at a glacial pace.
While it did show flashes of promise, I felt that it never really took off at all or really grabbed my attention: indeed, at times it felt like a chore to be reading it (as a matter of principle, if I start a book I finish it).
Not impressed. :(

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls (The Baby-Sitters Club, #2) in Books

No, I haven't seen your hair ribbon! Leave me alone!
The BSC hears about a thief known as the Phantom Phone Caller and works themselves into a collective tizzy over it.
Also, Claudia has a crush on a poet named Trevor.
I liked this one. I remember when I first read it, I was really creeped out by the hang-up phone calls and that might have something to do with my extreme distaste for them today.
Curse you, Ann M. Martin!

I had already decided that I probably wouldn't enjoy this film, as comic book heroes is not really a genre I embrace .Well how wrong I was, I wasn't blown away but I was interested in the story which and I did like the characters although in the final show down I was disappointed by how weak they seemed to be and how easily they were initially overcome? I guess this was to add to the drama though. Overall a solid film.

I loved this movie, though I found it confusing at times. When the world started buckling and changing, I had to rewind the movie and make sure I wasn't seeing things (I probably shouldn't have watched this movie when I was sick!). I loved the strength of character and there were a few statements or paradoxes that I still like to ponder to this day. I hope to see a second one sometime with many of the same cast members!
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Visions of Heat (Psy-Changeling #2) in Books

It's been a while since I read the first one but I know I enjoyed it. This one not so much. I struggled to get into the story but tried and tried, I kept reading but after a handful of pages i'd put the book down again. And that's what it's been like throughout. I felt like I needed to finish it, though, and I did.
I have books 3 and 4 but I'm not in any hurry to read them yet.

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!
The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)
And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!
Definitely give this one a read!!

Amanda (30 KP) rated Successful Coaching in Books
Jun 21, 2018
This was a very helpful textbook that I used for a coaching class to get a certification in coaching from the American Sport Education Program. A lot of the information was common sense, but there was some information that I found to be interesting. I enjoyed being able to discuss this with the class. I strongly recommend this if you are clueless about coaching a sport, otherwise I'm not sure how much you would really benefit from it.
