Book Divas (227 KP) rated The Viking's Captive (Clan Hakon #2) in Books
Jun 7, 2019
Fantastic
I want to say that this book was better than the first but that would be a lie as they are equally outstanding. I was glued to my seat and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. This one picks up where the first one left off and the storytelling is fantastic. I was quickly swept away and lost within this beautiful storyline full of Vikings, princesses, maniacal jarls and even a very disturbing witch. The characters are strong and work well within the story and I can't wait to learn more about Dayna and Brant as I know their story will also be epic!!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2371 KP) rated Blue Sea Burning (The Chronicles of Egg #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The final book in this middle grade trilogy finds Egg struggling to find a way to bring down his arch nemesis, greedy slave trader Roger Pembroke. With pirates, sea battles, and romantic complications, he'll have his hands full trying to do it.
The series goes out with the same fast action and wonderful characters I've been enjoying the entire way through. The humor scattered throughout helps as well. All three books are highly recommended for kids and adults. Just be sure to read them in order.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2371 KP) rated The Chocolate Book Bandit (A Chocoholic Mystery, #13) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Lee sits in on a library board meeting, but the missing member is found murdered at the bottom of the basement stairs. The woman was quiet, and everyone seemed to like her. So why was she murdered?
These books are always light and fun, and this is no exception. I do wish we'd see more of the sizeable collection of supporting characters, but Lee is always a fun host to a fast paced puzzle that will leave you drooling for chocolate and the next book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2371 KP) rated The Mystery on the Mississippi in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Trixie and her friends take a trip to Missouri, where Trixie finds some stranger papers in her hotel room's garbage can. Soon, someone is following them. What do the symbols on the paper mean?
I'm torn on this one. It was my introduction to the series, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. The fast moving and suspenseful plot captivated the 7th grade me and introduced me to life long friends. However, reading it as an adult, boy to all the characters do some pretty stupid things.

Lindsay (1760 KP) rated The Amazing Adventure of Paddy Platypus in Books
Feb 15, 2018
I was enjoyed this book. It tells about how Platypus are. They tell as a bit about them. We find out how fast he is and what he good at. It also teaches us about good at and what they do not like.
It a really good book for young readers and children. It funny as well. It quite a cutie book and really enjoy it. Paddy goes for adventure and to find out where and what happens at the end you should read the book. The pictures are good for children that can not read for it quite entering along with it being a chapter book style.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Go For Broke in Tabletop Games

The antithesis of monopoly
This game really is the opposite of monopoly - you start with £1m and have to go round the board trying to lose money as fast as you can, like Brewster's Millions the board game. Exciting trips to the casino and horse racing and spending on the stock exchange give you extra chances to blow your dough. I loved this game growing up, and have bought a second hand version to play with my kids, who also love it. Truly an enjoyable family game trying to get rid of as much money as you can (which my kids are great at IRL!).
Lilyn G - Sci-Fi & Scary (91 KP) rated The Exorcist (1973) in Movies
Jun 2, 2018
I love this movie
I watched this movie when I was way too young, and it terrified me. Fast forward years later when I had my first kiddo, she was asleep up in her room, and I went to watch the movie again. Quickly it occurred to me that I couldn't watch it. I was still so scared of that movie that I was sure my kid was going to get possessed or something from me inviting evil in the house.
Completely ridiculous, but there it is! LOL
(I've since lost some of my fear of the movie and now can just giggle about it.)

Dracoria Malfoy (690 KP) rated The Sun is Also a Star in Books

As a fan of slowburn, this book is not exactly for me, considering the romance is in a literal day. However, credit is given where credit is due (is that the saying?) and truly, this was a very good book. It was fast-paced, complicated, and the perspectives of other people along with the two mains were a blessing, kind of a quiet separation from the main thing, shedding light on the fact that people who you don't know significantly have complicated lives, just like you. This book proves that fate and science are different, but maybe they just go hand in hand with each other.
