Lindsay (1760 KP) rated Wait...Wait for the Thunder in Books

Feb 15, 2018

This book is about Friendship. You also learn about ranching in that time. It about Luke and Ray and North Flat Ranch. There some Historical in the book.

It based on a true story with some fiction in it. I completley story. You learn somewhat what to do when in a thunderstorm. Though most of this book is about cattles and the lives of Luke McKeever and Ray. I really enjoyed this book and I was really would recommend it if you you enjoy Cowboys or Ranching and a bit of History.

Dana (24 KP) rated Boy Proof in Books

Mar 23, 2018

This was a really interesting novel. I normally don't read contemporary books, so I was pleasantly surprised when I picked this one up. This novel follows a girl who likes to call herself Egg, after a character in a science fiction movie that she loves. It follows her transformation from a girl who cares about nobody to a girl who genuinely enjoys being around her friends. I gave this a four star rating because there were a few parts that were slow, but all in all, it was very well written!

Animal Defenses by Mary Lindeen is a non-fiction book for early readers. This book is about how animals use their natural defenses that keep them safe. From rolling to a ball to spraying a nasty smell, animals are depicted with nice pictures and an illustration of their defense. The pictures are large and visually appealing, the animal species are varied the information is educational and the information is presented in a way that is easy to understand.

I received this ARC from Norwood House Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Firefly Meets Wizards

This book was advertised as Firefly with wizards, and that's pretty much what it is. There is almost a one-to-one correlation between the characters in the book and the characters in Firefly. That being said, I love Firefly and enjoyed the story very much. It's a fast-paced space opera. The story felt a little short to me, more like a TV episode verses a movie. The book was self-published and had some editing problems (specifically typos).

This is one of my all time favourite films. I feel in love with this as a child which ignited my love of science fiction. The effects still amaze me even now and having recently purchased this on blu-ray, it still doesn't cease to amaze. The only problem with blu-ray, is that you get to see the Baron on HD. No one wants to see that!

Compared to the book, I honestly think the film is better. The book felt a bit stiff, but the film brings the story to life.

Just Because

I can not decide what I liked best about this book or what I liked least. However, it was a good young adult book for those who like science fiction with a little bit of romance mixed in.

MILA's world is turned upside down when an accident involving her falling out of the back of a truck end with her mother giving her some information that she would have never guessed. This information starts MILA on a journey to find herself and her place in this world.
