Erika (17788 KP) rated Star Wars: Most Wanted in Books
May 7, 2019
This young adult novel features Han and Qi'ra sometime before the events in the beginning of Solo. It gives much needed development to Qi'ra's character, and makes her actions at the end Solo completely understandable.
Both Han and Qi'ra are sent on missions by Lady Proxima, the head of the White Worms. Their missions are related, and when it goes south, they have to work together for the first time to get out of the mess. The story lags a little in the middle, but overall, it was entertaining.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated In Sleeping Beauty's Bed: Erotic Fairy Tales in Books
Jan 18, 2018
As far as erotica novels go, this novel is one of the worst that I have ever read. Not only was it vague in any erotic descriptions the author decided to give use, but the actually erotica content was almost absent. It was like reading a fairy tale written for adults with all the gore and vulgarity instead the sunshine and smiles, although the happy endings were present.
When I want erotica, I want <i>erotica</i>. If I wanted some fairy tales told for adults instead children, I would read the Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Mixes high fantasy with steampunk overtures beautifully
I've read almost everything I can of Jim Butcher, so any new series he brings out will be worthy my attention.
In this new series he introduces some truly fantastical elements which blend themes of pirates, airships, high fantasy and steampunk technology to a breathtaking world.
Easy to get into and hard to put down, it's a novel you'll want to read again and again.

When their friend's father is robbed of a rare comic book, Nick and Tesla use their new self-built robots to try to find the thief.
Kids will enjoy this one. The characters are better than the first and in keeping with a middle grade novel. The plot is strong and actually threw a twist in there that surprised me.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Amazon's Vine Program.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha (Mrs Pollifax #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
It'd been too long since I had visited this old friend. In this book, the newly remarried Mrs. Pollifax sets off to Hong Kong to find out why one of Carstairs' informants has started sending him bogus information. Naturally, she is quickly in over her head. The formula is intact, although the finale of the book is very dark for the series (though not for a spy novel) and a bit rushed.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated The Witch of Blackbird Pond in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Kit Tyler has arrived in colonial Connecticut to live with a family she doesn't know. Her only friend in the village seems to be the local outcast, accused of being a witch. Will Kit ever adjust to her new life?
This is an engrossing novel that pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages. Even after multiple rereads, I still can never put it down. The characters are great, too.

A call from her brother sends Wollie off on a wild ride while she's in the middle of a dating project and trying to help her greeting card store take off. Has her brother really witnessed a murder? Or is it his paranoid schizorenia acting up again? A twisty novel with great characters. Just pay attention at the beginning because a lot is thrown at you quickly.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Mr. Monk is Cleaned Out (Mr. Monk, #10) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Monk is fired by the SFPD, Natalie tries to find them both jobs. Meanwhile, Monk is obsessed with proving a man under house arrest for his ponzi scheme is also guilty of murder. The set up was a bit too familiar since it was also used a couple of books ago. A few of the characters also seemed over the top. Minor complaints in another great tie in novel.

Dana (24 KP) rated Oliver Twist in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I can honestly say that I did not enjoy this book. For me, Charles Dickens' works are all very repetitive. There's an orphan who continuously falls onto bad times, then suddenly figures things out and gets his life turned around. Everything happened too slowly and was way too drawn for me or it was important information told in passing. The chapters jump around a lot so it can get confusing temporally. There are too many characters with similar names to keep track of. Overall, I didn't enjoy this novel.
