Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Wishing Spell in Books

Okay so first of all I'm a nut for good quotations & I feel the need to say this book is FULL of them!! This is going to sound mean but I was pleasantly surprised with what a great author Chris Colfer is. He did a wonderful job putting a new spin on many of the classic fairy tales we all grew up with, without changing them completely. Alex & Conner are fascinating may layered characters. I can't wait to get this book into the hands of a few of the kids in my classroom, they are going to love it!

The best Disney Pixar franchise ever
I love this film, and I'm not afraid to admit it. It's beautiful, heartwarming and utterly amusing to watch. I still remember seeing it the first time and being completely mesmerised by the new style graphics. And the story was an update from the usual Brothers Grimm fairy tales , modernised for its young viewers living in the 1990s. Woody and Buzz have the best partnership on screen, and it's one of those rare trilogies where every single film was brilliant. Massive kudos to Disney Pixar.

Plot is so intricate and intriguing
Cole Sprouse!!!
SO ADDICTING
I can't get enough of this show. The acting is (mostly) on point, the plot is so well thought out, it just makes you want to keep on watching! Usually it takes me more than 1 season to get fully hooked on a show, but Riverdale got me hooked on the first episode.
I read the Archie comics when I was younger and I love the new spin they've put on this adaptation. I cannot wait for the next season and what it has in store for the show.

Another contribution from this bright, familiar series. this book can quickly become a favourite and whilst this one is particular to the holiday season, Caillou has several different adventures for your child to pick up.
With this instalment we find Caillou getting all kitted up for his first training sessions in Ice-hockey, but as is often the case, he wants to run before he can walk and only with his fathers help can he see that practice is needed to progress. A lovely moral, a great message for our youngest and bright colourful presentation as well, what's not to love.

Nikki Massey (8 KP) rated Death of a Nurse (Hamish Macbeth, #31) in Books

This was a first for me to read a crime genre novel.
I found it interesting, if a little out there.
Without giving it away, I found place names a little difficult to get my head around and although the accents portrayed were maybe needed to give more of a feel for the location and characters, it made reading a little difficult.
I'm not sure I fully warmed to the characters and felt they were a little clumsy and slapstick.
But that is just my opinion, I'm sure many love these quirks.
Still an entertaining read.

Feb 15, 2019
I thought this book started out well enough, but then went downhill and I finally stopped reading on page 133. The Publishers Weekly review, which I read after I stopped reading (in order to determine if I should read on), is how I feel about what I read and why I did decide to not continue with it. In addition to this review, it seemed there were many, many redundancies in the book and I was disappointed that there wasn't any actual romance in it other than love at first sight; I like more indepth romances than what this book has.

Feb 27, 2019
As I said in Red Headed step-child this has everything I like, vampires, mages, werewolves, Demons and much much more, I absolutly love Sabina Kane, she has attidude and underneath that really tough exterior she has a really soft heart that I thoroughly enjoyed finding out through the 3 books (Red-Headed stepchild, Mage in Black, Green-eyed Demon) and I cannot wait for the fourth book as i'm sure it will be even better the the first 3 as with each book we see more of who Sabina Kane really is and she gets even more interesting :)

Not what I expected
Haunting in Hill House, when my daughter recommended this, I admit, the first episode made me almost not wanting to watch another, but I did. And I'm so glad I did. I had both tears and a need for a nightlight while watching this. The only thing that kind of was meh, was some of the secondary actors. The main characters were a nice cast in my opinion, but their husbands and wives, eh they were ok. I really hope there's a second season.

More of what we've already seen
The first Hotel Transylvania was actually fairly good, but it's a shame that both of the sequels have been poorer carbon copies. This third film especially is just more of the same; silly dance offs and music and a predictable and poor plot which isn't even funny. There are a lot of animated films that have humour for both kids and adults, but sadly this film isn't one of them. I'm sure the kids love it, but I really hope this is the last Hotel Transylvania film we'll ever see.
