Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Vikings in 30 Seconds in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Bright and colourfully presented, this "in 30 seconds" book about the Vikings 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 lives of these well know historical people.
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!

Kate (355 KP) rated Nintendo Wii in Tech

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.
Rae J. Watson (36 KP) rated Cruis'n World in Video Games
Apr 15, 2019
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.

Jan 30, 2018
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
ArecRain (8 KP) rated Gerrity's Bride in Books
Jan 18, 2018
While I enjoyed reading this, it was one of those novels where the main couple butted heads all the time. It was easy and interesting to watch the two fall in love, and I often found myself laughing. The characters were filled with personality and fire, and I always love a romance novel with some drama. Other than the constant fighting, I can find nothing negative to say about this novel.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Motherhood is Murder (A Maternal Instincts Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A night out with Kate's new mommy group turns deadly when one of the members is found dead at the bottom of some stairs. Tragic accident or murder? Lots of humor, and I identified with Kate a little too much. The plot is a little uneven, but still an enjoyable book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated No Place Like Holmes (No Place Like Holmes, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A kid's mystery that focuses on Sherlock Holmes' lesser known neighbor who might finally get his big change when he nephew comes over from America for the summer. I found some of the characters stuff predictable, but overall I enjoyed this fresh take on the Holmes universe.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Nate the Great San Francisco Detective in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Nate is visiting his cousin in San Francisco. She is a junior detective as well, and Nate winds up taking on one of her cases - a missing joke book. While I missed the regular supporting characters and found the chapters a little weird, I did still like the book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Moxy has one more day to read Stuart Little, her summer homework assignment, before 4th grade starts. Will she actually get it done, or will she finds ways to put it off again? As a procrastinator at heart, I found this book way too true and very funny.
