Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in Books
Jun 18, 2018
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by Joe Rhatigan is a wonderful and different version of the classic version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. This version involves cats. Twinkle twinkle is a star and her feline friends are trying to find a way to visit. But balloon, dogs, and even some cake can not help the cats get to twinkle. The upside we learn why cats “sing” at night. The illustrations are brights, colorful, and it's full of fun. It is an old book with a cute twist.
I give this book 4/5 stars.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Eat Up!: An Infographic Exploration of Food in Books
Jun 18, 2018
Eat Up!: An Infographic Exploration of Food by Paula Ayer; Antonia Banyard is colorful and has many interesting facts about food. The information is presented in a way that children can understand but the pages are a bit cluttered. Readers will have the ability to learn where food is grown, where meat comes from, how the food gets to the store. This is a book that will allow for basic learning and will cause the reader to study further.
The book has vibrant pictures and diagrams that will catch reluctant readers attention.

I received a copy of Read on Arrival from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
In the small town of Catalpa Springs, Georgia a vile woman has kept a library book for over 40 years.
She tries to mend her ways but dies.
Enter Cleo Watkins runner of a bookmobile who is basically trying to save her library from being turned into a...I'm not even sure what.
The character interactions are great even though the beginning seems to be people sniping at each other, the book does a lot of showing not telling in regards to character traits.
I really enjoyed this one and actually didn't guess the murderer!

Ari Augustine (10 KP) rated The Place Between Breaths in Books
May 4, 2020
If you want a book that will take you on a true roller coaster ride of delirious emotions, The Place Between Breaths if for you. Told in a non-linear manner and delves into the raw complexity, horror, and grief surrounding Schizophrenia. Although all the jumping around might be off-putting to some readers, I found it intriguing - as if I were exploring the world the way a fractured mind would and I loved that, at times, I was confused. I know that's strange to say, but I enjoyed it's ambiguous tone riddled with dream and longing.
I would recommend 100%

Merissa (12051 KP) rated Ki's Redemption (An Alien Exchange Trilogy #3) in Books

Ki's Redemption (An Alien Exchange Trilogy #3) by Keri Kruspe
Ki's Redemption is the third book in the An Alien Exchange Trilogy, BUT it is the first one I have read. Did this impact me in any way? Only by making me want to read the first two immediately!!! For the story itself though, it was all good. The characters are clearly defined and well established. Enough of a back-story is given so you understand all about things that have happened in the past, without it overshadowing the current story.
I love a good science fiction romp, and this book had it all. Sassy and strong females. Alpha males who need taking down a peg or two at times by said females. Artificial Intelligence. Androids. Robots. Bad dudes. Seriously, it's all here. Even better than a good science fiction romp, is a good science fiction romp that has DRAGONS!!!! And boy was I not disappointed by the two shown in this book! The descriptions of them are vivid, making it so very easy to see them in my mind. Can I just say, I thought Cleithe was amazing! Her grief broke my heart!
With no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading, this book was a delight from start to finish. The story is gripping and full of action without being too much. Absolutely recommended by me, with the proviso that you simply must read books one and two too. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get my grubby mitts on said books!

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Boston Strong: A City's Triumph Over Tragedy in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I received this book free in exchange for a honest review.
[Boston Strong] by [Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge] was a very well told account of the events leading to, during and after the Boston Marathon bombing. As I finished this book the surviving bomber is just going to trial so the whole thing is a bit surrealistic. I am used to reading about disasters and horrific events but usually long after they have occurred. i don't expect to see them on my news feed.
I believe the authors did a great job of telling the story without too much bias and with an event like this (as 9-11) that is hard because there is so much emotion tied up in it. I recommend this book especially if you want to know more about the survivors, hero's, and even the bombers.
