Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2423 KP) rated Sprinkle with Murder (Cupcake Bakery Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Mel is accused of murdering her best friend's fiancee, she has to set down her cupcake tins and start sleuthing to find the killer.
I've heard such praise for this series, and I didn't feel the debut quite lived up to the promise. However, I did find the plot good and the characters real. I enjoyed the book enough that I will continue on with the second in the series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2423 KP) rated The Secret of the Mansion (Trixie Belden #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house.
This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be annoying as a result. Just know they grow stronger from their friendships by the next in the series.

unJentle (3 KP) rated One with You in Books

So, truth: I wasn't happy with how this book ended... and it's the last in the series!!! There are so many open-ended plot holes that were never answered. And there was a weird twist with one of the secondary characters that I wasn't expecting... it left somewhat of an odd taste in my mouth.......
But there is some good news! Day is working on a kinda spin-off series that is supposedly going to answer some of the questions and plot holes left unanswered. So we shall see.

Very good book, especially for the young adult market. I love the fact that Vaughn doesn't write much differently here than she does in her established series, so she doesn't feel like she's talking down to teens at all.
There's one thing that really bugs me, but if I bring up exactly what it is, it will be a spoiler. I will say that I don't honestly think that every YA book or series really has to include a particular sort of negative experience in order for the protagonist to experience growth.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2423 KP) rated Fearless (Dominion, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
As the world reels from a bunch of natural disasters, Grant Borrows and his super powered friends become heroes. But have they escaped the plans of the Secretem? This is the second book in a Christian fantasy series. While I loved the first, this one fell too much into middle book syndrome. The first half was slow, but the second half really picked up. Definitely read this series in order.

Caity Cavanaugh (2 KP) rated Goodreads: Book Reviews in Apps
Jun 18, 2018
Book works paradise
I love using Goodreads to keep track of all the different books I read. It is my favorite app, not just for setting and tracking goals, but for finding new authors, discovering new genres, and figuring out where a series starts. It has saved me hours and money by telling me in what order a series goes, as well as little inbetween stories to read. I love how simple and user friendly it is, and that you can sync it with your kindle

Actually should have been 4.5 stars! I really love this series! I am half-way through the second book (realized I forgot the review...oops!)...
This one take you on a ride! I had a few hair-pulling moments, wanting answers before the author was ready to give them...thinking I had it figued out and then oh no...I love books I can't figure out half-way through!
All-in-all though...it's great! Read it! Have the rest of the series handy though...you will not be able to wait for book 2!

Sawyer (231 KP) rated Pokemon Snap in Video Games
Aug 17, 2018
3D Pokemon one of the first games they really do this (1 more)
Fun puzzles and tricks to get the Pokemon to evolve
Got to snap them all
Pokemon Snap is a truly unique Pokemon game it differs from the normal series titles with its emphasis on Pokemon photography a totally different side of the Pokemon world
this is one of a few side Pokemon games that weren't part of the main series
But for some reason this has never got a sequel and that's a crime

Leah Rothwell (170 KP) rated The Promised Neverland: Volume 2 in Books
Sep 17, 2018 (Updated Sep 17, 2018)
Not for the faint hearted but it is incredible how much suspense can be wrapped up in these few pages. It’s drawn to really captivate you and make you care about every person in one way or another. The battles they ensue and the cleverness in the plot makes this such an amazing read that I hope it is a long standing series as it deserves it!
I wouldn’t start this series until a lot more are realised as I’m addicted and they are not released quick enough!

Andy K (10823 KP) rated Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) in Movies
Oct 2, 2018
And introducing Paul Rudd!
Wow what a low point in the Halloween series.
Michael is back to finish up murdering every surviving member of the Strode family in this nonsense entry in the series. Hard to believe 6 years after the last installment this is the best they could come up with.
Production problems plagues the film which I'm sure didn't help. It was painful to watch.
Too bad this had to be the last appearance of Dr. Loomis due to the death of Donald Pleasance.
