Book Divas (227 KP) rated Gizelle's Bucket List: My Life with a Very Large Dog in Books
Dec 12, 2017
Finally found my notebook that contained this review!!
I must say that I experienced many emotions while reading this book. I laughed and I cried and I often reminisced about my fur baby that passed a couple of years ago as he was my love, my companion, and friend. I think that animal lovers will certainly enjoy reading about the adventures contained within this book.

Just okay.
I have been playing the Sims forever, so when a mobile app came out I was excited. But simply put, I wasn't impressed at all by this addition.
There's a level cap, and other than adding new limited time quests, this game seems stuck in place. I really wanted to love this, but I just couldn't. I get that it's a mobile app and thus limited, but it feels poorly executed at the moment. Hopefully there will be updates that make it better in the future. Until then, I have to pass.

A little too judgy for me.
I really wanted to like this book. It look quirky, cute, and absolutely adorable. Unfortunately, this did not meet my expectations. I felt that this book was just too judgy for me. I get what Tess Koman was trying to do, but I was bored with it by the fifth page. The illustrations were okay, and at times I did crack a slight smile. All in all, I was not impressed.

DNF @36%.
I struggled with this from the start. It wasn't a; meet a girl, want the girl, fall for the girl. It was an I've met the girl, I want the girl, don't think I can have the girl but I want her anyway. Which is great for it being different but I think it put me off a bit. I didn't fall into the story.
This is my second hook by the author, and probably my last, as I didn't particularly get into that one either.

DNF at around 50%.
I remember I wasn't too fussed about the first book, just that it got better near the end. Considering I read it over a year ago I can't remember a thing about what happened but when I saw this in the window of the charity shop I thought, "why not?"
Unless you read this more or less straight after the first book--which I don't have anymore--like me you might find it a little hard to figure out what's going on and be confused.

This film is HILARIOUS!!
I swear i was so ready to hate this. Im not a fan of jack black or The Rock, but the kids wanted to see it and I’m a huge Dr Who fan so gave it a go in support of Karen Gillan.
I was proved so wrong!! I dont want to give away anything but it is just so funny! A modern take on a classic movie with loads if genuine LOL moments ??

Rowann (3 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Books
Nov 17, 2018
A wonderfully emotionally charged ending to a series and set of characters I grew up with. The deaths were heartbreaking and the responses of those left behind even more.
However I have to admit that the middle drags a tad, but the final battle makes up for this. And of course there are some plot holes left unanswered but I kind of like that as a reader I can fill those plot holes in myself, and give some characters a bit of a happier ending.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous Obscure in Books
Apr 27, 2018
My thoughts: I won this book from The Shady Glade, and I didn’t know if I wanted to review it or not. I started it. I couldn’t stop.
It’s a collection of six-word memoirs by teens all over the place, and it’s fabulous. Some were inspiring, some were depressing. i sat on my bed and whispered them aloud to myself for thirty minutes. (it’s a short book.) it was enthralling.

Purrsistently (46 KP) rated Shadow Child in Books

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)
