Sue (5 KP) rated Curse Breaker (Red-Line, #4) in Books
Aug 13, 2018
I had the opportunity to read a book in a different genre than I usually do (I read cozy mysteries). The first part of the book was romance and suspense with a good plot and an unexpected twist of who done it and why. I was drawn to the characters and hoped that my favorite wasn't going to turn out to be the murderer. I thought the book was complete (at about 70% on my Kindle) and then the story took a turn. I don't want to spoil anything for the reader, but it was a big surprise as to what happens and how our couple survives the plot twist. I have to admit that I enjoyed the first part of the book more than the last half, but all in all, it was a good book for those who enjoy mystery, romance, suspense, and a bit of supernatural.

Kate (493 KP) rated Remember Me in Books

I loved this book. This may be because the author is Sophie Kinsella and I personally have never read a bad book from her. She is one of my favorite authors.
I liked the concept of this story and wasn't like anything I had read before. I wasn't reading it and thinking it was similar to anything else.
I was hooked from page 1 and couldn't put this book down.
You could hear the character's voices throughout the book and due to their descriptions I was able to see the characters. I also felt for them - I felt sorry for some and didn't like others. I wanted to sneer when I read about them.
My thoughts toward the main character changed throughout the book, in a good way. This was how she grew as a character and how she changed as she realised what her life and her personally were like.

Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated Disney Manga: Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas in Books
May 16, 2018
This was my first manga....that being said it took me a bit to get used to how you have to read it. I was able to fly through it once I got the hang of it because this is one of my FAVORITE Disney movies. I really enjoyed the artwork as well. I think I would rather read manga in book form though. So I have the book to start a collection. I received an ARC copy from Netgalley for an honest review.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Waking Gods (Themis Files #2) in Books
Feb 26, 2019
Originally, I wasn't ever going to complete this series. The first book was good, until my favorite character bit the dust. HOWEVER, I'm glad I did decide to read these because, well, the character comes back in an intriguing way.
There was much more action in this volume, and I was entertained the entire time. I was kind of sad when it ended so suddenly. I was glad that the author stuck with the epistolary style. I didn't mind the cliffhanger, since I've already got the third book from the library.

Ell_cee (5 KP) rated All the Breaking Waves: A Novel in Books
Feb 9, 2018
This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hannah needs to lose weight, so she has joined Heavenly Bodies, the new gym at the mall. But one morning, she finds universally hated fitness instructor Ronnie Ward floating face down in the spa. It really is cruel to talk about losing weight in the middle of all the delicious recipes in the book. Not the strongest plot in the series, but fans will love spending time with their favorite characters.

Erika (17788 KP) rated The Humans in Books
Aug 14, 2018
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.

OH, what an ending to an incredible series!? I've missed a few here and there (which Ill surely be catching up on) but this has been one of my favorite rocker series! This last book was the perfect ending.. still plenty of action, crazy events and hot a$$ sex scenes, while I loved that we were able to touch in on everyone's story. It was a perfect closing to the wild ride we've had with all the guys, and my god will I miss them!? HIGHLY recommended book & series!!
Yoshi (40 KP) rated Megatokyo, Volume 3 in Books
Oct 29, 2018
Megatokyo is by far my favorite webcomic. I cannot tell you how many times it has made me cry after spending about 5 minutes laughing my head off because it is that funny. Although you can read it on line for free, it is better to read it in book form if you can find it because it flows more easily that way. In my opinion this is probably the volume where the story starts getting really good, and the writer's art style has improved from the first book.

If the Shining happened in an Ikea
Honestly one of my favorite covers because people keep thinking I studying an Ikea catalogue very thoroughly!
This book was just so much fun and had a really great balance when it came to the horror and comedy which for me just doesn't always come through when I'm reading books. But Grady Hendrix just really had a way with the genre. I bought this book first but ended up reading My Best Friends Exorcism first and that was also a great read.
