iamsara (130 KP) rated Libby, by OverDrive in Apps
Nov 19, 2017
I love Libby. It is very user friendly as opposed to Overdrive. Log in with your local library membership to gain access to eBooks and audiobooks. It's great if you randomly want to read a book and it's on Libby and available. Downside is just like a library not every book is available and I once I had to wait for 2 months to get an eBook as it had been reserved by a few others before me.
J Elizabeth Klug (21 KP) rated Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts in Books
Dec 14, 2019
A short non-fiction ebook that draws comparisons from the magic written by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series to the historical myths and folklore from which it's based. Invisiability, transforming into a creature, and warding off evil are just a few of the topics you'll find in this book.
I found this to be a fascinating read and would recommend it to any fans of Harry Potter who are interested in Mythology and Folklore.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover in Books

3.5 stars.
It's taken me about three week to read this, mainly because I was reading more exciting kindle books but when I lost interest in my current eBook I picked this back up and finished it within a day.
I do love our gang of girls and a certain boy, though he wasn't in it as much as i'd like. But this didn't grab me as much as the last one.
I'll get round to reading book 4 soon.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Final Minute (Tina Boyd #7) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I must confess to being a huge Simon Kernick fan and his character, Tina Boyd, has to be one of my all time favourites so I was thrilled to receive a copy of this eBook from Netgalley and the publisher, Randomhouse UK Cornerstone, in return for an unbiased review and I wasn't disappointed. From the start right up to the finish, this was fast-paced, non-stop action which had me hooked from page 1.

One of my best friends recommended this book to me at least a year ago. I bought the ebook, and only got through the first 30 pages before I put it down. Since reading it wasn't working out, I decided to get the audiobook from the library.
I really liked this novel, the descriptions of human life was amusing. Of course, the plot was fairly predictable, but I still enjoyed the book as a whole. The advice near the end was the best part, and it was my favorite. I would definitely read it again.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Twisted Tales: A Paranormal Anthology in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I received a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.
If you are looking for some good stories written by some amazingly talented authors then look no further. Each story has a different element of paranormal surprise that keeps you on the edge of your seat on this fantastic roller coaster of a ride. All the stories contained within this anthology are well written with a steady pace and strong characters. You will definitely find yourself ensnared within the magical web that all the authors have weaved.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Salem's Vengeance (Vengeance Trilogy, #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I received a free ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.
The Salem Witch Trials have always intrigued me as I am fascinated and appalled at the naivety of people. This book's story line takes place 19 years after those trials and the author's creative writing transported me in to the story. Strong and well developed were the story and its characters and the revelations that are revealed via a journal were outstanding. I cannot wait to read the second book and I highly recommend that everyone reads it.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Return Me to Myself in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I received an ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book had so much possibility however; I found myself getting confused during many parts of the story because the author themselves seemed confused when writing. I was completely thrown off by the fact that though her father sexually abused her she was more angry at her mother. This book was in need of proofreading before it went to print. A few typographical errors is one thing but this book seemed to be plagued by many. The book cover is absolutely beautiful. I don't recommend this book to any one.
Micky Barnard (542 KP) rated BorrowBox Library in Apps

Ebook and audio options (1 more)
Renew options
Navigation is not slick (1 more)
No bookmarks when listening to audio
Platform with potential
I appreciate the function that borrowbox is providing but it is not a slick platform at all. I use it for library ebooks and audio. Ebooks are easier to read through the app but audios are absolutely problematic to use. For audio, download is clunky, and the lack of bookmarks is a nightmare. It is so easy to lose your place. Searching for books takes patience. This is nowhere near the usability of its competitors overdrive and libby. Much development needed.
Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Stone Cold in Books
Mar 11, 2018
It’s not something I would read but I received this eBook in the February Fresh Fiction Book Box and this is the first book I decided to start and I loved it. The perfect amount of humor from some of the ghosts and I love the developing friendship between P.I. Melissa Kennedy and Detective Daniel Forrester they make a great team which I can see is going to turn to romance further in the series I just hope I don’t have to wait too long for the second book which is out sometime in the summer.
