Kimmic (814 KP) rated The Cabin (The Cold Case Quartet #2) in Books
Sep 3, 2021
It normally takes me a day or 2 to finish these types of books. This is me giving up after 2 weeks! So boring. I just felt that the book went on and on and about the money, I'm over 50% in and we still know next to nothing, still talking about where the money COULD be from... I can't take it anymore. I'm avoiding reading just so I don't have to listen to this anymore and that is when I realised I needed to just quit else I will still be stuck on this book in July when I could be reading something I actually enjoy.
Sarah (7799 KP) rated Pyramids: Discworld Novel 7 in Books
Aug 6, 2017
This isn't a bad book, none of the Discworld books Are, I just don't think it's quite as strong a story as many of the others I've read. Teppic is a great character, it was good to find out more about the assassins guild and I like the fact that it was set in the time of mummies and pyramids. My issue mainly is that the plot gets a little too bonkers and for my tastes there wasn't as much humour in this.

Casino Royale is the first book in the James Bond Series. I’m sure everyone knows who that is.
I have absolutely nothing good to say about this book.
I was so excited to read this. The movies are pretty awesome and action-packed. I thought the book would be fast paced and gripping. This has been one of the most boring books I have ever read. Bond wasn’t suave, calculating, or deadly. He was just pure, dumb lucky. It was so disappointing.

This is my fav one so far.. I love Daegus.. he is hott and amazing and sooo awesome. I love his twin's book also but omg.. this one.. YUM. i loved his girl as well.. she was an awesome heroine. the only thing that irritates me a little about these books is all the girls are like 24+ in age and still a virgin.. does that really matter? but otherwise they are still amazing and wonderful and i totally recommend them :)
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Some Like It Hot-Buttered (Double Feature Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A new series from a favorite author left me a little cold. I didn't find it nearly as funny as his old books, and the mystery was weak. What's funny about this is the series centers around the owner of a comedy movie theater. Owner Elliot Freed investigates when a man is poisoned by his pop corn during the nightly double feature.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Madness at Moonshiner's Bay (Accidental Detectives, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Accidental Detectives are off to Disney World, only their trip is interrupted when Ricky, Joel, and Lisa are kidnapped and trapped on an island guarded by an alligator. Can they figure out what their captor's want? Definitely one of the more suspenseful books in the series, but still so very good. My feet get clammy just thinking about some of the scenes.

Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated One Breath Away in Books
Jun 6, 2018
Wow, wow, wow! This book was very gripping! I loved the way the main characters had their own points of view as chapters. The whole plot was amazing. I can not think of one bad thing to say about this book. I'm definitely going to give Heather Gudenkauf's other books a read now as I believe she is a brilliant writer. This book is so emotional, and I would've never guessed the gunman's identity at the end. What a shocker!
Roxanne (13 KP) rated New Moon (Twilight, #2) in Books
Nov 9, 2018
Bella moans and groans some more....if it weren't for this seriously lacking and annoying character these books would be so much more enjoyable without feeling constantly frustrated. I really like the werewolves and the Cullens are likeable but the 'thing' between edward and bella gets old very quickly, they just go on and on about the same thing over and over again until you just want to scream at them to get it together and stop wasting my time already!
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Trouble on the Books (Castle Bookshop Mystery #1) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received this copy of Trouble on the Books from Netgalley and the publisher.
This was a very cool mystery. Shelby works at a bookstore in a castle. The only real beef I have with this book is that there's not a whole lot about the castle.
More castle, please!
So a not very nice person is killed and poor Shelby discovers the body.
The characters are great. I really enjoyed Edie.
There's also a really intriguing b plot involving Shelby's mom.

It is fun seeing how the Dresden Files have evolved. This collection of shorts are fun and entertaining. Sometimes I think Jim Butcher is a little too excited about putting Harry in the thick of it. Most stories are laugh out loud and while they tell you which books each story is before or between you really should wait until.you finnish Changes before you read them. Beware the last story has sooooo many spoilers if you don't.
