Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Prudence (The Custard Protocol, #1) in Books
Apr 27, 2018
I absolutely adore Prudence, both the book and the girl. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about it other than I wish I had the next book in the series right now, because I’m quite unhappy to leave her world.
Gail Carriger has a knack for making incredible characters full of life and wit and hilarity. Every story I’ve ever read by her has made me want to jump right into the book and live there. It doesn’t even matter which character I’d be, as long as I was there. Added to that is her eloquent, witty, and distinct writing style. I wholeheartedly recommend Prudence to any fan of YA fiction, drama, romance, adventure, or supernatural adventures in an air ship.

Sometimes I think I must be missing something.. This is a book adored by many and yet I can't see quite see why. There were moments of brilliance and fascination, mostly involving religious history and the search for faith. The pace was fast and I wanted to keep reading to the end but had I not already mastered the eye roll due to raising teenagers, I would have learnt fast with this. The unassumingly handsome but excessively fit academics professor thrown into worldwide adventures with beautiful women seems a little stale for some reason... Can't think why. Despite this déjà vu, I expect to read another at some point, if only for the history.
A book to borrow from the library.

When Charli returns to her hometown of Hazel Rock, Texas, its only meant to be a quick trip. When first she and then her father are accused of murder, however, she decides to hang around until she can clear her dads name.
The barn-as-a-bookstore setting and an armadillo named Princess with the run of the place would have been enough to pique my interest in this cozy, but in Charli I also got a believable, fallible, and perfectly human heroine. She has her issues with the town and the people that she thought shed left in the past, but doesnt let it stop her from doing whats right. Im looking forward to more adventures with Charli and Princess!

Joe and Tommy are going to visit family in the UK, but they can’t leave behind their lives as homicide cops. Joe, visiting his in-laws in England, discovers that his father-in-law’s business partner has been murdered. Meanwhile, Tommy’s visit to family in Ireland is complicated by the fact that someone is out to kill his uncle.
It would have been nice if these two stories connected, but instead we get two novellas. That’s a minor complaint, however, since it is wonderful to get more adventures with these two great characters. Both stories are solid with plenty of complications before they are resolved. We also get some interesting developments for Joe and some good background on Tommy. Fans will be glad they read this one.

Imaginative, well written story
Once again, Alia Hess knocks one outta the park. Wolfwater follows all the Travelers characters as they find themselves on more harrowing and suspenseful adventures. The story flows nicely from one book to the next, and the characters evolve as the life they once knew changes. Several times I found myself wishing I could meet the people of Nis, especially Sasha & Trav, and Owl, and well, Dewbell, Dusty & Corvin too! Ms. Hess’ does an superb job making them all feel so real!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this series and am looking forward to reading the next! I received an advanced reader copy of the book and leave this review of my own volition. Wolfwater gets a 4.9/5? from me.

An old friend
If you haven't read any of Shayne silvers or Cameron O'Connell where have you been? Seriously though the world that these two have built will absolutely draw you under in such an amazing way. I suggest starting from the beginning with Nate Temple and following him down the rabbit hole.
I'm just so thrilled to have Quinn back and to find out what's been going on in her world since we last heard from her. I will say she did not disappoint and I was just thrilled to spend some time catching up with her. Although, she did have to skip out before finishing her story. I know she will be back to share the rest of her adventures soon.

Sherlock Mouse Holmes
The Great Mouse Detective- is a really underrated animation film made by disney that was released in the late 80's. Plus you have Vincent Price as the villian. I love Vincent Price he is such a excelllent actor.
The Plot: Basil embarks on the greatest case of his career when London's master toymaker is kidnapped. He ends up pitting his wits against his old adversary, Professor Ratigan, who wants to become `supreme ruler of all mousedom'.
The Great Mouse Detective- mixes "Sherlock Holmes", "The Rescuers" and "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" togther into one film. You have mystery, comedy, adventure, action and music.
Its a very underrated film, that i highly recordmend.
