Such a cute version of the game we all used to love!

Ever since it came out this past fall, I have always loved playing this game! It's just so cute and innocent and is a very good way to relieve stress. I really have nothing bad to say about it- I love how there is always something to work towards, always a new task, etc. This app is very well put together and successfully brought back all of the nostalgia from the old Nintendo DS game!

Kaz4ray (17 KP) rated Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House in Books

Jan 28, 2018

This book is incredibly difficult to read if like me you are from the UK and don’t know much about the finer points of US Politics. However, if you persevere it gives us an inside look at Trump and the team behind him who are apparently the brains behind the clueless man himself. It really is a rather frightening read as it’s real life and if it is to be believed then an imbecile is in charge of the most powerful country in the world. I’m not sure what to make of it - I really don’t want to believe it as it is nightmare inducing but a lot of it rings true. Michael Wolff paints a very concerning picture of what is happening within the White House.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2400 KP) rated The Real Macaw (Meg Langslow, #13) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

With four month old twins, Meg is finding life unpredictable and crazy. And that's before her father and grandfather show up with a bunch of animals rescued from the local shelter. When their "get away" driver is found killed, Meg keeps finding more information that leads to some shocking discoveries. I found the plot of this book very interesting, and I can't wait to see how it plays out in further volumes. The usual cast of characters are present, but they don't provide the laughs they used to. They are still amusing, and fun to be around, which will keep fans of the series happy.

Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win in Books

Oct 1, 2018

I really enjoyed this one. I found it to be timely, relevant, and insightful. It was all well researched and I think most women can relate to Charlotte as a woman juggling family and career and life while trying to keep it all from falling apart.

It also brings to the forefront the very real differences faced by women who enter the political arena, from the focus on their attire to questions about their family and kids, that men aren't subjected to.

Overall, Jo Piazza nailed it yet again with Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys political fiction!

**Many thanks to Elizabeth Breeden and Simon & Schuster, as well as NetGalley, for the digital ARC!! All opinions are my own.**

Book Rating

Imaginative, well written story

Once again, Alia Hess knocks one outta the park. Wolfwater follows all the Travelers characters as they find themselves on more harrowing and suspenseful adventures. The story flows nicely from one book to the next, and the characters evolve as the life they once knew changes. Several times I found myself wishing I could meet the people of Nis, especially Sasha & Trav, and Owl, and well, Dewbell, Dusty & Corvin too! Ms. Hess’ does an superb job making them all feel so real!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this series and am looking forward to reading the next! I received an advanced reader copy of the book and leave this review of my own volition. Wolfwater gets a 4.9/5? from me.
