Leah (: (569 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Books
Jul 9, 2018
This is hands down my favourite Harry Potter book!!
Everything I loved from the first two books continues in this book, the themes of friendship, good and evil and of course the humour.
In this book Harry, Ron and Hermione get up to more mischief, embark on new adventures and even begin new lessons.
One of the great things about this book, is the slight variation in story line. Instead of battling Lord Voldemort at the end of the school year there is a different enemy to defeat.
Obviously fully recommend this book as everyone should read Harry Potter.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Fame (Keatyn Chronicles book 8) in Books

This book picks up exactly where the last one ended and tells the story of the characters from the original series about 10 years later.
It is told through a multiple perspective so we get to know a lot of the original characters very well and see if their dreams of the future came true and how they ended up where they are today.
There are a few new characters and some characters from before become a lot more important.
A great way to continue the series but you do need to have read the previous books.

AmyBee (4 KP) rated The Ladykiller (DI Kate Burrows, #1) in Books

I really enjoyed this, despite having pre-existing ideas about Cole's writing. The story is very gripping and Cole does not use as many over-repeated phrases as her other books, although there is still a fair bit of Cockney slang written into it. (Some of which, I was forced to google!)
The anatagonist, George Markham, is a truly chilling character. The protagonist, Kate Burrows is a tough cop who's façade is only let down by her truly pathetic infatuation with the local mafiosa, Patrick Kelly.
Overall, a good read and very unputdownable. Shame Cole doesn't write like this all the time!

What more can I say about this incredible series? Im SO sad its over... Ive loved Claire & Tony's story, no matter how painful it was to read and go through at times. The connection, the passion and the perfect fit of these two are just amazing.. I've been rooting for Tony & Claire for books now and am so beyond happy to see them end up in their "happily ever after." Now we an all just sit around and hope that someday Aleatha changes her mind and continues this story! (although Im sure she's tired of hearing that!?) ;-) LOVE LOVE LOVE this series...
Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated The Invisible Library in Books
Oct 1, 2018
The first in a new series, the invisible library is one I couldn't put down. I loved that it was a mystery surrounding the acquisition of my favorite thing in the world...books. I would have liked a little more backstory about the library itself in the beginning but it wasn't any real hindrance to the story. The action starts from the very beginning and the adventure continues until the end. I can't wait to read the next book and immerse myself back into this wonderful world. Highly recommended! Thanks to Penguin and First to Read for the ARC!
Roxanne (13 KP) rated Maisy Goes to the Museum: A Maisy First Experience Book in Books
Nov 14, 2018
A fun little book about a trip to the Museum. My daughter didn't enjoy this one as much as the other Maisy books we have read, I think that may be because of the words used. Many of the words were long and complicated for a toddler so she lost interest. Also, the sentences were quite disjointed. Another thing that could be a problem is that not all Museums will offer your child everything that is in this book which may lead to disappointment. Other than the above issues, the book is nice and bright and has some really good illustrations.
CKD (37 KP) rated Scarlet Feather in Books
Dec 7, 2018
As with all the other Maeve Binchy books I've read, I loved this one too! 12 chapters...one for each month of the year in which the book takes place. Great story between Tom and Cathy, two catering school buddies who decide to open up their own catering business. There are side stories about the other characters in the book and they all intertwine. Maeve Binchy is a wonderful storyteller and this book did not disappoint. There was a time when I didn't think I would finish it before I had to return it to the library...I did renew it once! LOL!
Ok so this is the third book in the exodus end series. I have read all of the sinners and exodus end books and have absolutely loved every single one. Although I found this book to be a little long, it is one of my favourite stories (plus the more time I get to read about exodus end and sinners the better). Steve and Roux take you on a beautiful, emotional and sexy ride of twists and turns and love and laughter, and personally I couldn’t get enough of their amazing story.
Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for Dares story!

Why did I wait so long to read this book?
Why did I wait so long to read this book? Maybe I was afraid taking up the mantel of the winter knight would ruin a great character. Oh me of little faith. Butcher did a fantastic job. Humorous and heavy he actually answers some questions while he teases you over more. He even does some wonderful world building of the nevernever (14 books in and he still surprises) I found out more about the Fae in this book than any of his others.

Could not put it down
My boyfriend made me read this as it's his favourite book. I was a bit sceptical as it didn't seem my thing but I couldn't put it down.
It's about a kid who spends his life in the virtual reality oasis on the search for an Easter egg that will grant him the keys to the game he plays and lots of wealth.
Full of pop culture references and lots of action it is the perfect books for all the nerds out there. Don't bother with the film. As usual the book is miles better.
