Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated War Mother in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Collecting 4 parts of a series together in one publication, this narrative is set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where the new species have evolved and survived. The story follows Ana as the hunter-gatherer for her community and using AI guns follows an action-adventure format. A well illustrated and engaging graphic novel it is not always easy to follow, but then life isn't always straight forwards either.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Egg Drop Dead (Crackleberry Club, #7) in Books
Feb 21, 2018
Egg Drop Dead is the 7th Cackleberry Club mystery and I will definitely be going back to catch up with this series. Suzanne, Toni, and Petra were such affable, believable women, that mid-way through the book I felt as though they were people I really knew, and not just characters in a story. Add to that a well-paced mystery and you have a really enjoyable cozy.

Better then I expected
This film is an amazing addition to the Harry Potter movies. I thought the story line was amazing aswell as all the links to the hp series such as all the creatures that had been mentioned in them but not seen, as well as all the new ones that were added from the fantastic beasts book. I'm definatly looking forward to the crimes of grindelwald!

This one was different from the rest: there was no major Reaper attack in the library. Yes, there was a little incident but it was with the journey to Denver that we had our run in with the Reapers and Gwen and friends kicked their arses (as usual).
I can't help wondering if book 6 is the last book in the series or not? On to it soon, anyway.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Tuck is in a group of thieves called The Outlaws. Leo is a lone wolf who doesn't let people in. He is friends with one of the Outlaws, Dan, but even he doesn't know about his past and Leo is not about to divulge the information to anybody any time soon! Tuck's past comes calling when somebody from his past calls on him for help. Is there more than meets the eye to this job?
This is book number 2 in the Heist series by Katherine. In my opinion, it could be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed finding out about the characters and didn't feel I had missed out on anything by not reading the first book. However, I will be looking to download the first book and any more that may come in the series as I have thoroughly enjoyed what I've read.
I've read a few series by Katherine now and I feel that no matter what she's writing it pulls you in and takes you with it she is a very talented author and I look forward to reading more of her work.

You can't beat a movie with a Basilisk
As the second in the series, Chamber of Secrets knocks it out of the park. It might not be my favorite in the series but that is a poor choice of words, they are all tremendous.
Chamber of Secrets for me, hits the hardest at the very end of the movie. The tone of the movie as a whole is much darker than our first outing in The Sorcerer's Stone, but the end is very tragic and traumatic and thought provoking. You have the backstory on the main villain of the series, the potential death of a couple of main characters... there is a just a lot going on!
This is one of the series that I can put on and just enjoy as background noise. Worth a re-watch if it has been a while for you.

Great idea, not my favorite writing style
Contains spoilers, click to show
I honestly love what he’s trying to do with this story, I just personally am not a fan of how it’s paced, and his overall style for the book. The ideas he is putting into this world and this story are amazing and I love seeing how his mind works on ideas like death and life and religion. I do also feel though that the book seems sort of rushed and I’m more than halfway through and haven’t really experienced anything significant in terms of plot, other than the thing revealed early on with Zane becoming death. I will say I am not done yet so I reserve the right to amend this, but honestly my problem isn’t with content so much with how it’s put out there which probably won’t change in the last hundred pages. I will say, I want to read the rest of the series so I am at least compelled to do that which is more than so many books have been able to do for me.
Kate (493 KP) rated Don't Look Back in Books

I didn't realise this was going to be such a short story. It was like reading a long blurb. It was a short story which you have to then read the next book to finish the back story.
I wouldn't normally read this type of book but I gave it a go. The front story wasn't too bad but would be good if everything was in one book rather than being spread across a few. I didn't really make me want to continue reading.
The format the book was in was not good it didn't read write. The chapters were not clear and the lines kept splitting to a new line halfway through so the reading was not easy. Also the pages numbers were halfway through a line or page. It made the book hard to read and not enjoyable.
I was confused when reading part of the story as this all related to the back story which wasn't really gone into.
I probably wouldn't read the next book in the series because this one didn't really grab my interest and the format just made it awkward to read.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
