Merissa (14025 KP) rated Dark Night (The Amulet #2) in Books
Apr 14, 2023
This is a short and spicy quick read about Soli-B, a witch who has been bound to a vampire before, who is fighting against her attraction to Master Eligio. He, of course, doesn't play fair and will use anything to gain an advantage, including a warrant of arrest.
This is a novella so therefore it moves along at an incredible pace - everything happens within the space of a few short hours. There is attraction, flirtations, humour, and the threat of violence - all within a few pages.
If you are on the lookout for a hot, coffee-break book, then I can highly recommend this book and The Amulet Series as a whole.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Bloodthirsty in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Just when I thought I didn't have any more patience for Young Adult fiction, along comes this book. A book so funny, so sweet, so true that it has made me give the genre another chance. The main character, Finbar Frame, is absolutely endearing in all his geekiness and attempts at being cool by becoming a vampire. The plot is simple and it's no surprise where the story goes or how it ends, but it is Finbar himself that makes the book a delight to read. <u><b>Bloodthirsty</b></u> is a very short and easy read that was most enjoyable.

Everyone knows the basics of this story. In my opinion it is worth reading this story your self as although is it is only a short story there is a lot insight in human nature and it's duality. Once I had finished this book it left me think more about the duality of our nature.
This book's was written in the 1880's but it is well worth the read I would not recommend it for younger read as they may not have the patience with a book of this age

I did enjoy this short that showed us things from Emmy and Cyrus's POV's after the events of the last book. I liked that Cyrus has finally met his match in Emmy and that they're now together.
Pica still made me smile like an idiot despite her actions now being a little on the more deadly side of things.
And Willa's personality still showed through despite her not being the lead in this one. It was quite fun to read her from the perspective of others.
Off to read Pain, the last book in the series.

My Man Jeeves is the first book I’ve read by P. G. Wodehouse, and I very much enjoyed it. They were very amusing stories, and there were lots of laugh out loud moments. They had a cartoonish quality to them, and it was as if the characters came from another world entirely - perhaps that’s just what it was like for the aristocracy at this time 🤷🏼♀️
I had avoided Wodehouse, thinking that he didn’t write ‘my kind of books’. How wrong I was!
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for giving me the chance to read these short stories.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Maze Runner in Books
Sep 5, 2019
Once I put my other books aside and concentrated on this I found it a really easy read; the chapters are short and there is always something to keep you interested.
I really enjoyed it.
I think without that Epilogue, it could have been a stand alone story but because of it, I understand more about it being a trilogy. I believed that end bit! I was feeling quite happy and relieved for the Gladers. More fool me!
I have the second and third book but I'm not going to read them just yet, maybe when I get back off holiday

InfernalNinja (49 KP) rated Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Books

Lots of BTS anectodes from key people (1 more)
Talks about key problems that needed solved during each phase
As excited as I was for an "Art of the movies" book(retroactively, maybe I should've read the synopsis more carefully.),this is NOT that book. However, it still hosts a treasure trove of knowledge once you accept that. It's still super fascinating to read all about the creation of an interconnected movie franchise, because rather you love or hate Marvel movies, there's just no denying that what they've accomplished is nothing short of magic.
Kyera (8 KP) rated The King's Locket in Books
Feb 1, 2018
The King's Locket is a lovely story about family and forgiveness. Throughout the short text, there are illustrations of important moments that children can marvel at. This is a book that a parent would need to read to their child, as there are some words that would be challenging for younger readers and require explanation. Overall, it was a cute story and I would definitely read it to my younger cousin when I babysit for her. I think she would enjoy the tale very much. I would probably rate it a 4.5/5 mostly because a child couldn't read it by themselves (although nightly reading to a child is important) thus it felt a little above a child's level at times.

This is a really beautiful collection of poetry written straight from the heart of the author. The subject matter of each poem changes throughout the book, containing life, love, nature and beauty.
It is a short, refreshing read which I recommend.
The main reasons I removed some stars was because some of the writing and poems were not to my personal taste (no fault of the author) and it is very obvious that english is not the author's first language as there were quite a few spelling and editing errors which made some of the poems quite difficult to read and understand. Other than that this was a nice and pleasant read.
