I feel very privileged to have been invited to review this book by the author and duly received my copy from Netgalley and the publisher, Thomas & Mercer/Amazon Publishing and, yet again, I was most definitely not disappointed and I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost amongst the words of Mel Sherratt.

My full review can be found at http://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/only-brave-by-mel-sherratt.html, please drop by :)

2017 | Action, Action/Adventure, Platform
Its interlocked world introduces some fun exploration, even if it can be a pain to backtrack through brutal gauntlets time. But if you’ve found the platform genre a little too lenient in recent years, this will give the fix you’ve been looking for.

Damn...
Jason Bateman is just one of those actors I really enjoy watching and Ozark really shows him at his best. The show is a drama filled rollercoaster with a truly amazing cast. Well there are a few dragging bits to it I never found it all that hard to power through.

A Fun and Bloody Mess
I found this TV series to be pretty faithful to the video game series. The art is pretty good, though occasionally strays into Aeon Flux art territory, which I wasn't a huge fan of. I was amazed at the wealth of voice actors that are part of this production and am very much looking forward to the next season.

Bright and colourfully presented, this "in 30 seconds" book about the brilliant man, Leonardo Da Vinci is targeted at middle-grade readers but accessible by older students as well. It is well laid out and leaves information easily found. Illustrations are meaningful and show the works of the great man.
Overall, this is a pleasant read, that adds to information and one I would happily put in my youngster's library.

This is how I used to write reviews... Yikes! :-P

I found this to be a very enjoyable book! Some things were amusing, just the way gothics were written back then. Usually gothics are pretty predictible, but this one ended differently than I thought it would! I thought Carina one of the best protagonists in a gothic that I have read. All in all a quick, fun read!

Probably a bit a bit dated now as there are other game consoles out there with better graphics, such as the XBox. We did have one of these in the house for many years and it got a lot of use but found games were becoming hard to get and so progressed onto other games consoles. It has now been given away and has been given a second life.

The music is repetitive and almost maddening. (0 more)
Cruisin' World was one of the first N64 games I ever played and fell in love with. Originally found in the arcade, the N64 version offers a bit more challenge and more cars having completed races in the Championship mode. The graphics are very bright. There are tons of loops and turns which can make it more challenging and a bit nerve-wracking.

I found myself surprised so many times in this book. I enjoyed the characters so much.. and they were amusing and funny. These are a collection of short horror stories but honestly they amused me so much I didn't feel as if it was scary but then something would happen and I'd think.. oh.. theres the horror lol. it was awesome and im glad i got to review it
