Apr 10, 2019
Vee and Cam have a love story that takes the long way round. High school sweethearts until it all goes wrong. Years later they find themselves trapped on a tour bus together. Forced to confront the past and their feelings all while trying to be civil.
I adored this book and the raw emotions it brought out. It wasn't just your typical love story where everything goes right the first time. This took time, guts, and a bit of heartbreak to get to the end. The songs and lyrics fit and made you a part of their world.
Perfect for fans of music, romance, and alternating view points.

Emma (519 KP) rated Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jun 3, 2019
I really enjpyed this book, i have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I don't usually do but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because i enjoyed the storyline and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood as much as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role of him in the movie. My only criticism would be that it is perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series.

YA fiction for any age

I hated this book, and loved it. It’s cruel, and frustrating, unfair, and yet it’s also sad, and hopeful, and honest and authentic. I’m not sure how everyone else feels about their High School experience, but I despised mine. You couldn’t pay me to go back. However, this story was so vivid, that I felt as though I could smell the grease from the cafeteria, feel the rough tile on the bathroom floor and the chill of that cold fateful night. This is the story of a mean girl done good.

Anne meets friends and foes and has scraps and trials and tribulations. Some involving her bosom friend Diana berry and school rival Gilbert blythe! Perfect for the whole family

The Lies are Pretty Big..
At the recommendation of a friend, I dug into this book right away. I really enjoyed the characters and I kept waiting for the surprise that was promised. Having read some of this author's other books, it did not take me long to figure out how the characters came together. I really enjoyed the story and would recommend this to anyone who wanted to get swept away in the story based on a PTA like group. Their original purpose was to improve the school, but the mothers become mafia-like in their power moves
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Mama Rides Shotgun (A Mace Bauer Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Mace and Mama are taking a trip on the historic Florida Cracker Trail, living (almost) as the cowboys did centuries ago. But when one of Mama's high school boyfriends is murdered when the group stops at his ranch, danger seems to be stalking Mace and her family.
I enjoyed this light mystery and am wondering why I didn't get back to this series sooner. The characters are charming and Mace shows some real growth here. The plot could have been a bit better developed, but the book was always entertaining.

Danvers' sister has gotten her own reality show, much to Miss Piggy's dismay. Meanwhile, the new student at Danvers' school is a jokester who makes Danvers and his friends the main target. Can Danvers use what he is learning from the Muppets to take this guy on?
There are so many story lines happening, yet everything keeps weaving together perfectly. Meanwhile, the Muppets and the new characters are all enjoyable. I just wish Pepe didn't use "okay" every time he was on the page, okay?

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Earthquake Shock (Disaster Strikes, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Joey and his friends are heading home from the skate park when an earthquake hits, separating them. Can they find each other and get home? What will they encounter along the way? Is their home still standing?
This is a good early chapter book. As such, I read through it quickly, although it will take the early elementary school target audience a little longer to get through. The characters were real and showed some growth, and the plot had a couple of scenes that made me turn pages quickly.

Dana (24 KP) rated Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow (Bunnicula, #7) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I remember reading this book when I was a kid in elementary school, found it in my local used book shop, and had to pick it up. Not going to lie, I used to be terrified of these books, but I still read them because I secretly loved being scared. Rereading it, it was a fun book with so many Poe allusions (which were amazing since he is my favorite Poe-t, lol). I can say for a fact I liked these books much more when I was a child, but it was still fun to revisit my childhood books. So, yeah, nostalgic read number three of the year.
