Toni Lynn Donald (2027 KP) rated Deeper Than The Dead in Books
Jan 27, 2020
Read 2 of her books and enjoyed them both. She keeps the story going, you never get board reading her books. The characters were great and both books were suspenseful and disturbing. My kind of book. There was a little more romance than I usually like but still was an awesome book!
BookCritics (259 KP) rated The Almost Sisters in Books

I love all her complicated-Southern-family books, but the protagonist of this one is a woman who makes a living as a comic book artist/graphic novelist, and also has weekly board game nights

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated Lost - Season 1 in TV
Apr 2, 2018
Cryptic, Weird, Bizarre, Interesting, but not great....
I liked it but got board before the first season ended, and the the talk was only making me more confused, and it sounds like very few people actually knew what they were talking about.... which is great for the water cooler, but not great Tv in my book.

When the board member of a tea museum is murdered, the directors must come together to figure out what happened to keep the museum afloat. I enjoyed the characters but found the pacing a little off.

Lindsay (1804 KP) rated It's Time for Halloween in Books
Mar 2, 2026
It's Time for Halloween is a decent book. I enjoyed it. This book is for babies to three-year-olds. However, I do love children's books and reviewing them. All children's books will be passed along to newborns or new parents to enjoy.
I do this with most of my board books. However, I do hold on to them for a bit or for special occasions. I read this book in a few minutes, and I really enjoyed it. The layered view as you turn the pages is a neat idea I haven't seen in a board book. I also enjoyed that one of the critters could be seen from the beginning to the end of the book.
The pictures tell the story, and you find different things on each page. Children and little ones can count for pumpkins or who has what costumes. It's all fun and learning for the little ones. There is rhyming going on throughout the book as well.
I really liked the fact that each page has you do a little bit of something different. Your child or children can count or make it so that if the child wants to learn the sounds of the different animals in the book. You can do that with this. This book is for babies to toddlers. It's great for the Fall / Autumn season or for the seasonal holiday of Halloween, which some call it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2502 KP) rated In Dublin's Fair City (Molly Murphy Mysteries, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Irish immigrant Molly Murphy returns to Ireland on a job to find a missing relative. Unfortunately, she gets involved with a murder on board the boat taking her back to her native country. I normally love this historical series, but this one was up to par. The mystery was sacrificed in favor of the historical plot, which was good enough to redeem the book.

Dinosaurs are a fascination for most children at a young age. Most children are into them. I have been into Dinosaurs since I was a little kid. I still have a fascination with them. This book, "Dinosaurs," is geared toward young readers and children.
It has rhyming and some fun facts about dinosaurs for children to learn. The book can help teach children and adults how to pronounce some famous dinosaurs' names and give a few fun facts about them though out the book. Little ones can hold the book, point at the dinosaurs, and have fun looking at and opening the book without damaging the book.
Dinosaurs are fun and enjoy the read. I like how a child or children can learn about dinosaurs through this book. The pictures are done well and enjoyable. Parents will love this book as it is educational and enjoyable for their children.
Dinosaurs are for though that who love learning about Dinosaurs. The board book is made nice and thick for those young readers. These are some famous dinosaurs.

Rachel King (13 KP) rated Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There in Books
Feb 11, 2019
I read this book very slowly through DailyLit, and even then I did not understand most of what I read or particularly enjoy it. When I read a book, I make a point of finding something to like about it, no matter how bad it is. I like chess, which plays a part in the book, but about the only thing that made sense in that context was Alice becoming a queen by getting to the end of the board. I know the text is a classic, but sometimes I don't care for a classic, and this is one of those times, unfortunately. While the book is chock full of great quotes, and an ideal book for a child to enjoy because of the imagination put into it, overall I'm not a fan.
