Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hannah needs to lose weight, so she has joined Heavenly Bodies, the new gym at the mall. But one morning, she finds universally hated fitness instructor Ronnie Ward floating face down in the spa. It really is cruel to talk about losing weight in the middle of all the delicious recipes in the book. Not the strongest plot in the series, but fans will love spending time with their favorite characters.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated The Villain Virus (NERDS, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Flinch takes center stage in this fourth book in a middle grade series. Part James Bond spoof part adventure, it's another fun ride as everyone on earth starts trying to take it over. And the team survive a new school and figure out why everyone is turning evil and how to stop it? I've loved all of these books so far and can't wait for next year's entry already.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated I Will Take a Nap! (Elephant & Piggie, #23) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Gerald wants to take a nap, and Piggie thinks that sounds like a good idea. But will she keep Gerald from getting his nap?
The pictures and dialogue are fun as always, but I don’t think this book has quite the spark of some of the others in the series. Honestly, that’s a minor issue, however, and fans of these fun picture books will still enjoy it.

Liliannar (58 KP) rated The Hunger Games in Books
May 29, 2018
I wasn't entirely sure this was going to be something I would enjoy, and until about the 4th chapter I still wasn't sure. Once I got past the beginning and really started to care about the characters I was hooked and finished the book in two days and immediately started on the next in the series. The author has a wonderful way of building a connection with the characters. I can't count how many times I gasped throughout the book and can only hope the next two installments keep me just as enthralled.

First one better
I really enjoyed the first one to this series, and was looking forward to reading the second one. However, upon reading it, i got bored. It has taken me nearly 3 weeks to finish it as i kept putting it down. I'm glad i finished and found that the speed and action picked up near the end of the book, I'm definitely looking forward to reading he last one, to find out what happens, especially with the way the second book ended.
Happy reading :)
Happy reading :)
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Stone of Tears (Sword of Truth, #2) in Books

I have never been so happy to finish a book!
This book has some great detail in it but it just seems to go on and on and on and on again. Most of the time I kept wondering if there was a point to some of the chapters.
It did keep me entertained but I will most likely not read the other books in this series. It just seems like it has so much detail that is not needed and continues to drag.
If you like a long fantasy you might like it.

Gemma (572 KP) rated An Expert in Murder (Josephine Tey, #1) in Books

Good introduction to the world of Josephine Tey
I enjoyed this novel about the fictional life of a real person, Josephine Tey. This is the first novel in the series by Nicola Upson and I had previously read the fourth book as a standalone and I think that may have clouded my view a little on this book as I already knew what happened to the characters later on. I think if I was reading this novel first it would have been a lot more gripping. As it was, it was still an enjoyable mystery.

Light hearted (1 more)
Funny
I saw this movie on Netflix and within the first few minutes I was in love with the story and of course, Peter Kavinsky. It was like the perfect teen romance novel. To my delight, it was! A trilogy dedicated to the love story of Lara Jean and Peter. After reading the books, I feared I wouldn’t love the movie anymore. That’s not the case though. The movie was true to the quirkiness of the book. I will find pleasure in both rereading the book series and rewatching the movie!
AT (1676 KP) rated Assaasination Classroom Vol. 2 in Books
Sep 17, 2018 (Updated Sep 17, 2018)
Volume 2 of Assassination Classroom continues the oddball storyline of a misfit class of students that are trying to assassinate their teacher. The book covers are colorful and cute, but the series is not for young readers. In book 2, we are introduced to a new teacher character, who happens to be a professional assassin. This lady needs to try her hand at the assassination as well as get used to teaching kids in a classroom setting. The class also gets to head out on a class trip to Koyoto. More fun to come...

A different type of Zombie novel
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the first book in the series following the zombie apocalypse. Seen through the eyes of one lone survivor recording events in his journal as he tries to make it out of an infested London. Have to admit I was a little unsure at first but after the first couple of pages I couldn't put this down. Even in the slower sections it's a great read. If you want to read something a little bit different but still with plenty of Zombies this is the book
