Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2662 KP) rated Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Annie’s dog Fang hires Nate to find the Christmas card his mother always sends him. It’s a week late, and Fang looks forward to it all year. (Or so Annie claims). Can Nate find it?

This is a fun entry in the series with a dash of humor (especially when Rosamand appears), and decent clues that a kid or adult could use to solve the case along with Nate. Not that I did, of course.

I read books 1 and 2 with an air of "hmmm, it's okay, but not really doing much for me.." I read it because Daemon amused me. Then I got to book 3.

At first, I felt pretty much the same.. it's an okay read, but nothing major.

Then I hit the final chapter

What the ever-loving fuck just happened?

For a heart-sinking moment I thought it was the last book of a trilogy... then I realised book 4 was waiting in the wings... holy mother of god... this series just got good.

I saw this movie on Netflix and within the first few minutes I was in love with the story and of course, Peter Kavinsky. It was like the perfect teen romance novel. To my delight, it was! A trilogy dedicated to the love story of Lara Jean and Peter. After reading the books, I feared I wouldn’t love the movie anymore. That’s not the case though. The movie was true to the quirkiness of the book. I will find pleasure in both rereading the book series and rewatching the movie!

Volume 2 of Assassination Classroom continues the oddball storyline of a misfit class of students that are trying to assassinate their teacher. The book covers are colorful and cute, but the series is not for young readers. In book 2, we are introduced to a new teacher character, who happens to be a professional assassin. This lady needs to try her hand at the assassination as well as get used to teaching kids in a classroom setting. The class also gets to head out on a class trip to Koyoto. More fun to come...

Utterly absorbing

Amazingly, Disturbingly, Darkly Delightful

A fabulously dark audio play, with brilliant actors and sound effects. Absorbing you in a disturbing series of 'recovered memories', which is married to a great storyline, all of which intertwine into an amazing tale of insane corporate malice, murder, satanism, anthropophagy, torture, sadism, and greed.
Dark, twisted, and in some places, truly disturbing, it's probably best not to listen to this right before bed. It is, however, pretty much a must listen for those who enjoy the darkest of dark fantasies.

David McK (3921 KP) rated Courageous (The Lost Fleet, #3) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Having succesfully taken command of the Alliance fleet that has changed considerably since his time (in the first book), and having survived a near-mutiny (in the second book), the Alliance fleet continues to head for home in this, the third installment in Jack Campbell's 'The Lost Fleet' series.

Previously mentioned in the earlier books, the possibility of unknown alien intelligence becomes more pronounced in thsi one, particularly towards the end of the novel. It's becoming increasingly likely that Humans (spilt between the Syndicate Worlds and the Alliance) are not alone, after all ...
