Yoshi (40 KP) rated Thirteen Reasons Why in Books
Oct 29, 2018
This is one of those rare books that I actually stayed up until 2am to read in one go. I think my favorite part about it was the unusual writing style employed by the author. The focus frequently switches between Hannah's voice on the tapes and Clay's reaction to her words in a coherent fashion that unlike some books is not confusing at all. If they ever made this into a movie I'd definitely watch it.

Midge (525 KP) rated Sensuous Passions in Books
Dec 10, 2018
An exciting and beautifully descriptive collection of erotic short stories that are not for the fainthearted. My favourites are The Dragon Keep and The Vampire and the Redheads. In the Dragon Keep, will Anya be rescued and return home? What will be the fate of the Vampire, in the tale of the Vampire and the Redheads?
A delightful read, Amanda's writing skills are mindblowing and admirable. I am looking forward to reading another of Amanda's books very soon.

Emotive and challenging
I had to take a few days breather before writing a review for this book. It is an truly emotive read, challenging your personal ethics by drawing you into the lives of Louisa and Will. I am not going to elaborate because it will very quickly become spoilery. Suffice it to say that it is very well written, it tackles a significantly poignant issue of the current era and it left me upset, disturbed and satisfied.
Auburn (57 KP) rated How to Flunk Magic in Books
Jun 21, 2019
I read this through Kindle Unlimited. Its a fun read of magic going wrong. This book reads like how I imagine a real life witch would handle magic. Not everything will go right and you have to learn to be yourself. Plus the boy was swoon worthy.
My only problem is that it is very British. The terms and writing are sometimes very difficult to understand.
Should you try it: Do you enjoy magic that goes horribly wrong?

Emma (519 KP) rated The Deceit in Books
Dec 29, 2019
I chose this book because of its links to Egypt, my brother is an Egyptologist so it tweaked my interest.
I quite enjoyed the back and forth of the story from Egypt to England and vice versa. And I enjoyed the writing style, I found it quite Dan Brownesq.
All in all a good book, and a good story,which is quite exciting at times.
My only criticism would be that he seems to go off track sometimes .

Aimee Landy-Redding (3 KP) rated Doctor Who - Series 11 (New Season 11) in TV
Jan 24, 2019
Not fussed
I love doctor who but this season has been terrible, I feel sorry for the actors really. The problem is the writers, the story lines are shockingly bad, they are so bad that my daughter who is obsessed with doctor who refuses to watch it after she saw the 1st episode, it devastated her at how bad it was. It really doesn't feel like you are watching doctor who anymore.

Mixed feelings
I loved it but I hated the culmination pretty hard, so much so, how can that not spoil some of what went before? I feel a little angry at where it went after how E&P were built together in the story. I need to talk this out!
The writing was superb, the characterisation just drew you into the story and the storyline had that hopeful but tragic feeling. Overall it was bitter f'ing sweet.

Shell Wright (34 KP) rated My Sister, the Serial Killer in Books
Feb 3, 2020
I had great hope's for this book, due to reviews I had read before picking it up. A bit disappointing, if I'm honest. It did read like a story but without any emotion. It was predictable which was quite off-putting. I read reviews of humour, but I found none. Written in short chapters so very quickly and easily read. I did read it all though, so there is that. I probably wouldn't recommend.

Reality
Short but sweet
As I work in the NHS I thought I would give this book a go around the Christmas period. It did get a few giggles from me but other than that, it was slightly repetitive. I realised as I was reading this book that I should have first read Adam Kay's "This is going to hurt" so that some of the writing in this book would have made more sense. Short but sweet!
