____ <b>4 Cute Stars</b>

This is such a cute little book!
My little girl really enjoys stroking the different textures and likes listening to me whilst I read the rhymes on each page. She is starting to say the word 'Cat' it comes out as 'At'.
There is also a ladybird hiding on each page which is fun to point out.
Great book for little learners!

Hilarious and addictive
These brothers have found the secret sauce of comedy. The informal, friendly feel combined with the minutes long tangents turn this advice podcast into something I look forward to every week. I would have given a score of 10/10, but Griffin thinks that face cat is better than hand dog and just can't award a full score to someone who thinks that.

Hocus pocus is one of the best magical witchy movie I have ever watched, 3 witches, 3 kids saving the day, a quick musical number with one of the best witchy songs ever, and a candle lit by a Virgin, what's not to love about this movie

Standouts:
Cabin D - Intriguing beginning gave way to fascinating ending.
The Nanny - This just made for a neat ghost story.
The Cat - I could use a cat like this, but I don't know if I'd survive.
Charlotte's Frequency - Creepy and weird. Me likey. After reading, I wondered who'd win in a Cat vs. Charlotte battle. <spoiler>I vote for draw, or else they team up and annihilate humanity. That's probably more likely.</spoiler>
The Tattletail - Kinda cute, actually.
Inheritor - I kinda saw where this was headed but it still made for a darned good yarn.
The Candle - Appropriately creepy and a good book ender although I'm not exactly sure what the heck happened.

Ho-hum
Autumnology - I get it, but I think I'd get it more when I'm an old geezer. Physically, not just in mind.
The Dark and the Young - This was just too long and explained things too much but with little point.
Woods - I liked the thought behind this but the ending just didn't do anything for me.
Relaxed Best - In a different anthology, I might have liked this better as I like noir, but I just didn't care for where it went.
Twillingate - Meh.

All the rest of the tales fell somewhere in between awesome and meh, but even in the Ho-hum category, I didn't actually hate any of the stories.
