Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Two children from our world get tricked into traveling to magical worlds. But one stop is a world that is just forming and appears to be run by a lion.... A bit slow, and honestly I think it's best read in the order written (sixth), but still a fun tale filled with magic and adventure.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Poster Art of the Disney Parks in Books
Mar 9, 2018
As you'd expect, this is a collection of the poster art from the Magic Kingdom parks over the world and over the decade from the founding of Disneyland up to some of the recent posters in California Adventure. As a fan of the posters, I loved looking at them and am thrilled to have this book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Magic and Other Misdemeanors in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Grimm family is trying to pay the high taxes to save their house and track down several stolen magical items. I was drawn into this book very quickly and loved how the characters are developing. Unfortunately, the climax was once again a little weak and the coda was nothing more than a set up for the next book

Mar 15, 2018
Don't get me wrong, I love magic and Pride and Prejudice and the ability to commiserate with a fictional English grad student on the development of a thesis, but I was mostly underwhelmed by this novel. I wanted it to be so much better than it was. Still decent, but it had the ability to be amazing.

Can't put it down
This book series is taking over my life. I love every bit of it. Once I pick up a book I can't put it down. Branden Sanderson has a way of writing that draws the reader into the giant world he has created. You'll fall in love with the characters, cry at deaths that are even just the side characters, and feel lost without this world when you are done.

I received this book from NetGalley for review.
A thoroughly enjoyable read. The story has a good pace for the designed reader age, not overly complicated and yet still catches you into reading more. The characters are interesting, rounded and entertaining ... even the bad guys had a reason for being so. The cover art is gorgeous and a perfect front page for the story.
I would like to read more of Millie's future adventures with magic.

It's no Magic
I received the DC ones if these for a gift, and while I loved the art work, and the nerd factor, i was never realy sold on the game. Perhaps the problem was the lack of friends who also played, or maybe it was just not smooth to play.
Either way, I don't think I have them anymore, otherwise I would try playing again with my nephew, and see if my mind has changed.

J Elizabeth Klug (21 KP) rated Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts in Books
Dec 14, 2019
A short non-fiction ebook that draws comparisons from the magic written by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series to the historical myths and folklore from which it's based. Invisiability, transforming into a creature, and warding off evil are just a few of the topics you'll find in this book.
I found this to be a fascinating read and would recommend it to any fans of Harry Potter who are interested in Mythology and Folklore.
