Tom Turner (388 KP) rated Emperor of Thorns in Books
Apr 30, 2021
And so, the saga of Jorg Ancrath comes to an end. It's been quite a journey, and not a particularly easy one in more ways than one.
Mark Lawrence is not an author to make things easy for you. Reading his books feel more like running a marathon, despite then not being overly lengthy. But as with a marathon, if you see it through you are greatly rewarded. I almost gave up on this series a number of times. But I am so glad I persevered.
I will admit I didn't like The Broken Empire as much as I enjoyed The Book Of The Ancestors, but I believe that is more down to the latter having a more tangible plot. (And assassin nuns, don't forget assissin nuns!) but I am still extremely glad to have read them. I'm sure Jorg Ancrath will haunt my dreams and nightmares for years to come!

Liberty Boston (93 KP) rated In Front of God and Everybody (Confessions of April Grace #1) in Books

I received this book as a birthday/graduation gift during a family trip out of state. I'm a very picky person, I don't journey out of my bubble very often when it comes to books because I'm not adventurous (One of the reasons for joining this site actually) but I like a good mystery and the bright text on the back cover painted it as one.
I started it before we left the hotel and finished it on the three-hour plane ride home.
April Grace is utterly hilarious! I believe this is her diary or something but it seems like she's sitting across from you, telling you the story herself! The world-building took me back in time to the 80s, rural Arkansas where these books take place.
I never wanted to leave! The endearing characters and intricately woven plot will pull you in and take you for a joyride

How Games Should Be Done
This game should have been game of the year last year. It has it all. Graphics, gameplay, story and characters. You play as Jin as he struggles to keep the code of the Samurai in order to free his clan and his family from the threat of the Mongols. The story makes you care not only about the main character but your friends that accompany you on your mission. As you embark on your journey you learn new tactics and gain charms that enhance your abilities in order to take down Khotun Kahn....the leader of the Mongol invasion. You will eventually master different sword styles and a bevy of weapons to use in your adventure. If you haven't played this game yet, then you are missing out. For any gamer this is a must play.

Mothergamer (1555 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Carto in Video Games
Dec 7, 2020
Carto is an adorable puzzle game. You play as a young girl named Carto who gets separated from her grandma cartographer. The entire game is about Carto finding a way to get back to her grandma using her own cartographer abilities. Carto can take map pieces and put them together to make new paths appear and new islands. The map pieces look like tiles and they fit together in certain ways to unlock these paths and new areas. As the story progresses the game shows new ways to do the puzzles and Carto makes new friends on her journey. The music in the game is very calming and I never felt rushed to solve the puzzles. You can take your time with the game and enjoy the cute characters and the charming artwork.

Well Worth Reading
I must admit that during the first few chapters I was asking myself if I would ever finish reading this book. I can honestly say that continuing to read it was well worth it!! Crystal is at the cusp of womanhood and while at school one day she thinks she sees Olivia but that's hard to believe because her classmate was dead. One night she stumbles upon a secret that will alter her life and her perception of the world around her will suddenly change.
With the help of her mother and her two best friends, Emma and Derek, she will embark on a paranormal journey that will bring many revelations. This is the first book I've read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more of her books as she made a believer of her talent out of me.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Great Ex-Scape in Books

So this is my third book by the author and joint favourite with Love to Hate You and my second read in the Destination Love series. I liked this one more than After the Rain because they got up to so much stuff and the romance was pretty cute. Slow going but inevitable because they were so great for each other. I absolutely loved the journey around Reunion Island--it sounds like an amazing place and I could easily imagine the characters getting up to the mischief they did on such a lovely setting.
I also loved the bits of humour that were thrown in here and there and I did have to bite back laughter a few times at the craziness of what was going on.
I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for more of this authors books in the future.
