Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Annie’s dog Fang hires Nate to find the Christmas card his mother always sends him. It’s a week late, and Fang looks forward to it all year. (Or so Annie claims). Can Nate find it?
This is a fun entry in the series with a dash of humor (especially when Rosamand appears), and decent clues that a kid or adult could use to solve the case along with Nate. Not that I did, of course.

Cynthia Armistead (17 KP) rated Voices of Dragons (Voices of Dragons, #1) in Books

Very good book, especially for the young adult market. I love the fact that Vaughn doesn't write much differently here than she does in her established series, so she doesn't feel like she's talking down to teens at all.
There's one thing that really bugs me, but if I bring up exactly what it is, it will be a spoiler. I will say that I don't honestly think that every YA book or series really has to include a particular sort of negative experience in order for the protagonist to experience growth.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Jumanji (1995) in Movies
Feb 19, 2018
This movie scared the sh** out of me when I saw it in theaters. I ran out of the theater crying, and my mom had to convince me to finish watching it so I could see that it worked out in the end. Though, I was only 7, but after that, I had nightmares about being changed into a monkey for years. So, thanks for that, Jumanji. I actually haven't watched this movie as an adult, so maybe I should give it another chance. Robin Williams was the best part of the movie.
Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated The Poor Little Rich Girl in Books
Jun 18, 2018
The Poor Little Rich Girl by Eleanor Gates is a wonderful story. The story has an older feel to it. I like Gwendolyn's seven year old ponderings to the confusing adult phrases thrown her way. Sometimes I felt sorry about Gwendolyn because of her loneliness.
This book made me realized how important it is to value your children while you have them. Children want and crave our time and attention, along with our love above all else.
I received this book from Dover Publications via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Love Me (Keatyn Chronicles book 4) in Books
Jul 26, 2018
Each book starts exactly where the last one finished, which is great as there is no need for a re cap and fits perfectly with the diary style of writing.
Keatyn is really staring to grow as a person and you can begin to see her as an adult not just a spoilt child like she appeared at first.
You will continue to be annoyed by the boys in Keatyn’s like as at times they all seem like idiots and that she shouldn’t chose them. Although I am 100% for Aiden.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Murder from Scratch in Books

I received a copy of Murder From Scratch from Netgalley and the publisher.
I really enjoyed this book. My main issue is that all the food talk made me so hungry and as "issues" go that's not bad at all!
I really appreciate the writing of Evelyn. She's actually written as an adult with interests and not as a tall child who brings light to able-bodied folx.
I liked the mystery a lot. The way it was set up as an "obvious" suicide but a family member knows what's up? Definitely my thing!

Cat Danger Allan (29 KP) rated Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine in Books

Couldn't put it down
I couldn't put this book down till I finished it. Eleanor is like any 9-5 working adult who works her way through the week and has drinks at the weekend. She is hilarious and thinks exactly what everyone is thinking. But is not like anyone else. This book is the only book that has made me laugh so hard, then cry so much within half an hour. The story is amazing and I highly recommend it

Just Because
I can not decide what I liked best about this book or what I liked least. However, it was a good young adult book for those who like science fiction with a little bit of romance mixed in.
MILA's world is turned upside down when an accident involving her falling out of the back of a truck end with her mother giving her some information that she would have never guessed. This information starts MILA on a journey to find herself and her place in this world.
