Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2400 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 (2400 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 (2400 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.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated The Commission: A Sam Kincaid Mystery in Books
Feb 13, 2018
The story in this novel managed to capture my attention fairly well (even if I did figure out a good portion of the plot early on), but the writing was rather painful. The author left nothing to the imagination or inference, but spelled every single plot point, emotion, and thought out. I found myself rolling my eyes fairly often... but still curious as to what would happen next.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Misadventures of Two reluctant Zombie Hunters (Vol.1) in Books
Mar 18, 2018
This book was full of sarcasm and snark. Therefore I loved it. The main characters did not have a hero complex at all like most zombie type books. The Rules made me laugh. KL was my favorite because I just want to be like her. I am glad I got this recommendation or I may never have found this book and author. I will be reading more, including Vol. 2.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2400 KP) rated Last Light (Restoration #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Branning Family has found themselves stuck in the suburbs with no modern convinces. The entire world has been hit, and nothing electric works. But even worse, there's a killer in their neighborhood. This Christian novel grabbed me, and I loved it. Unfortunately, the characters were a bit shallow.

Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated The SEAL's Rebel Librarian (Alpha Ops, #2) in Books
Feb 13, 2018
I loved this book, when I first started it I thought the characters sounded familiar and then realized I read book one a couple of months ago so this was an easy and compelling read. I liked the characters, Erin just goes and grabs what she wants and that includes Jack. It makes a change for the woman to do all the instigating and I found it refreshing.

Tim curry was hard to beat
I really enjoyed watching this, I has high hopes about this remake but never expected Tim Currys Pennywise to be topped. But I am willing to admit that is what happened. I felt unnerved throughout the whole movie. I found the acting to be convincing and I felt involved in the story and a connection to the characters. I look forward to the second.
Briannabrown1019 (799 KP) rated The Houses October Built (2014) in Movies
Jun 18, 2018
I may be a little biased, as I have a special place in my heart for found footage movies. However, I really did enjoy this one. It was unique as far as the topic goes, and was made to feel very real. No one really does know what they're getting into when they go to haunts. They may be deemed safe and fun, but are they always really that way?
Amy Christmas (171 KP) rated Half a War (Shattered Sea, Book 3) in Books
Jun 20, 2018 (Updated Jun 20, 2018)
Fluent story progression (2 more)
Amazing character development of new characters
A fulfilling ending that ties the loose ends.
Became slow in the second quarter (1 more)
Dull at times
What a climax
Contains spoilers, click to show
This one took me a while to read if I'm honest, into the second quarter I found myself struggling to continue and I did stop reading it entirely for a while. However I persisted and boy am I glad I did.
