Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Quilts in the Attic: Uncovering the Hidden Stories of the Quilts We Love in Books

Apr 27, 2018

This book is so inspiring! I loved flipping through the book and looking at the pictures of the quilts and reading about them. It was fun to read, too. These stories felt more like fictional short-stories than they did a historical report! The only thing I would change is I would have liked the book itself to be a little larger, because the pictures were so small. I also would have liked to see more pictures of the quilt. There was only one picture of each quilt.

This would be an excellent gift to a quilter or a quilt collector.

Versusyours (757 KP) rated Tales of Halloween (2015) in Movies

Nov 4, 2019 (Updated Nov 4, 2019)

A varied range of stories with differing degrees of success. There are 10 tales that cover the range of horror from urban legends, comedy, gore, Grimm fairy tales and many othe horror tropes. As with most anthologies the stories are short and sharp with the plot of each story being apparent quite quickly and there are a few twists and turns that keep you guessing.

There is enough in the collection to make you look out at the dark corners of your room a little bit more nervously and I will never look at a pumpkin the same way again.

Book Rating

My Man Jeeves is the first book I’ve read by P. G. Wodehouse, and I very much enjoyed it. They were very amusing stories, and there were lots of laugh out loud moments. They had a cartoonish quality to them, and it was as if the characters came from another world entirely - perhaps that’s just what it was like for the aristocracy at this time 🤷🏼‍♀️
I had avoided Wodehouse, thinking that he didn’t write ‘my kind of books’. How wrong I was!

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for giving me the chance to read these short stories.

Joe Goodhart (27 KP) rated Faction Paradox: The Book of the Peace (Faction Paradox, #16) in Books

Nov 30, 2020

I was truly excited when this book was released from Obverse Press. It was the "mate" to the previous release, THE BOOK OF THE ENEMY. Unfortunately, the excitement soon dissolved, as the stories inside were just not that interesting, hence the reason it took so long for me to finish it! I was looking forward to the upcoming Faction Paradox release HYPONORMALISATION: A FACTION HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION, but I am starting to waver. I may still get it, though, as Faction Paradox seems to fare better as individual novels, rather than a mixed bag of short stories.
