Book Divas (227 KP) rated Gizelle's Bucket List: My Life with a Very Large Dog in Books
Dec 12, 2017
Finally found my notebook that contained this review!!
I must say that I experienced many emotions while reading this book. I laughed and I cried and I often reminisced about my fur baby that passed a couple of years ago as he was my love, my companion, and friend. I think that animal lovers will certainly enjoy reading about the adventures contained within this book.

I received an eARC via NetGalley. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinion expressed here is unbiased and my own.
I will admit that though it took me a bit to get into the swing of this story I eventually found myself getting caught in the web this author weaved. The story line did start off slow but once it picked up I enjoyed the fantasy and the beautiful characters. I must say that I loved the cover and that's the main reason why I picked this book to read.

I received an ARC when I signed up and was selected to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own.
This teen/young adult read is well written with ever developing characters and I enjoyed reading it. You'll find secret socieities, rituals, magic and a developing romance between my two favorite characters, Julia and Graham. I found it hard to put the book down. There are definitely some lose ends so I look forward to reading the next book.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Power Rangers (2017) in Movies

I remember the original Power Rangers television show that first premiered when I was 5 years old (Pink Ranger 4 life). I had such high hopes for it, because the trailer made it look amazing. It was a little all over the place and had plenty of WTF moments. I found the product placement really distracting. Rita Repulsa needed a Krispy Kreme prior to trying to destroy the world?!?! I think it spent a little too long setting up the whole story, and this movie was over 2 hours long.

New way for aliens to be found sort of.
WHat alien movie would be good with out the number 1 alien investigator in Duchovny. Two state college professors come across a meteor that has struck in the middle of the dessert that has an entire alien civilization on it. We see the aliens go from cells to full grown species in very little time and three underdogs have to find a way to destroy the species. Orlando Jones really comes through as the comic relief in a film that I believe to be very underrated.
Ross (3284 KP) rated No Such Thing As A Fish in Podcasts
Jan 12, 2018
The podcast brought to you by the QI Elves (those that write the questions on popular TV panel show QI), can be interesting at times. However, as with Answer Me This, I quickly found the presenters to not have enough charisma and just come across as smarty pants (I get enough of those people at work!). The reason Stephen Fry is so good on QI is because he matches intelligence with personality. Remove the latter and you just have a smug know-it-all.
Hazel (2934 KP) rated Surviving the Angel of Death: The Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Many of us will have seen the photographs and moving images of those 2 little girls at the head of a line of survivors walking out of Auschwitz and many of us, me included, would have asked ourselves "I wonder who they are, where they came from, how they survived that nightmare and where are they now?"; this book sheds light on all those questions and introduces you to a very brave little girl.

The concept behind the story (1 more)
The descriptive elements of the landscape
Interesting and believable concept
Although I'm not a big fan of science-fiction, I thought I would give this a try on a friends recommendation. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the plot, though I found the main character a bit hard to like. I loved the descriptive elements of the book, particularly when describing Edinburgh, one of my favourite cities. With today's global warming fears, this vision of the apocalypse, isn't too far-fetched!

Over the top vulgar fiction
I was looking forward to reading Hanif Kureishi's latest novel, but I was mildly disappointed. The crude humour is not to my taste and I may have missed the point to the story, but I believe loneliness as a reactionary behaviour seemed to be a major element to this. I had sympathy for the dying protagonist, stuck with little choices and watching his impending doom unfold, his wife's behaviour was horrifying so I found his pacifying attitude irritating. Not the best of novels for me.
