Book Divas (227 KP) rated Mama Graciela's Secret in Books
Dec 12, 2017
This is a perfect short read for bedtime. A fun story about Mama Graciela, her bacalaitos fritos (codfish fritters which everyone should eat as we here at home love to make them) and her many cats. The story is enthusiastic and I loved the illustrations. -YA/NA Book Divas

I am going to give you a bear hug, is a sweet adorable book. It has some rhymes in the book. It has animals and their cubs. This is good bedtime book for young readers. Young Readers could learn to read of this book as well.
It is done well. The pictures are well drawn. The pictures can tell the story themselves. It about giving a big hug and getting ready for bed.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Bright Baby Touch and Feel Bedtime in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This is a cute and fun little book which my baby really likes. I have rated it 4 stars as it's not as good as some of the other touch books that I've got for her. It's quite sturdy so it should last a while and it's full of bright colours and different textures for your baby to touch. I would recommend books in this series but not so much as some others that I have purchased. The books are quite short so I would say get a number of them as after a couple of flick throughs your little one might get a bit bored.
Baby books aren't the cheapest things ever so before purchasing make sure you check your local library as they should have a good selection.
This one in particular is fun to read together just before bed so you can talk your baby through bedtime.

Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Disney Manga: The Princess and the Frog in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Manga meets Disney may seem a strange combination to some but is one that works once you get your head around how they read. As an almost complete retelling of the Disney film, this is almost a junior novelization of the film version except in graphic novel/manga version. Lacking in colour and detail in it's illustrations the simplicity would serve this as a good introductory novel for youngsters. Tiana and New Orleans always make for a relaxing bedtime read.

Phil Leader (619 KP) rated Jumper Bounces Back in Books
Nov 18, 2019
Jumper Bounces Back is the second book from Rebecca Scarberry about the lovable red ball that just can't stop having adventures. Young children will love hearing about his exploits as he searches for his owner while having a lot of fun on the way. Meanwhile parents will enjoy the depth of the story.
Scarberry gets into her stride with this book making it even better than the first. If you have young children it is a terrific book to add to your bedtime reading list.

Kaileb Bryant (3 KP) rated The Karamazov Brothers in Books
Aug 11, 2019
An interesting but not easy read
As a lover of Victorian literature, I wanted to delve in to what the Russians were writing at the time, and where better to start than with the hugely loved Dostoyevsky. This novel is incredibly long, seconded only by Crime and Punishment. Yet not much really happens to do with the plot. This novel is more about characters and their development, as well as exploring big themes such as religion, crime, justice and family. It's an interesting read, but definitely not one to read before bedtime to relax!

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Leaving Las Vegas (1995) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
Nic Cage gives a career best performance as a man with nothing left to live for and decides to drink himself to death in Vegas where he meets an unlikely love interest played by Elizabeth Shue.
Cage's performance is both remarkable and believable and truly portrays a man ready to die at all cost, swigging a bottle of alcohol at all times, including just before he passes out at bedtime, we soon see his health deteriorate as Shue (although agreeing to allow him kill himself) struggle as she is forced to watch him fade away. Astounding and startling performances.
