Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Crossing the Line (Pushing the Limits, #1.1) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
I don't know if it's because it's been so long since I read the first book in this series; Echo and Noah's, or the shortness of this novella/short story but I didn't remember the characters or feel that interested in the story. The best bit for me was probably the paintball bit near the end.
I have the next two books in the series but I won't be reading them yet.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Beginner's Goodbye in Books

Tyler knows how to write not just about ordinary people, but ones who are flawed, so that we see their flaws through them far more vividly than the people around them. This short novel focuses on loss and mourning and if there are things we find hard to believe that can become believable in certain circumstances.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Caught on Camera: Part One in Books
Jan 11, 2021
Unlike the other short M/M book I've read today, I didn't particularly enjoy this one. It started good but I lost interest once things started heating up between out decorator and gardener. It just didn't grab me, it was all sex with no feelings...maybe I'm being unfair by comparing it to the one I like better earlier, but that's the way I'm feeling right now.
I won't be continuing the series.

David McK (3632 KP) rated Batman, Volume 6: Graveyard Shift in Books

This one, I'm afraid to say, didn't really do it for me.
Perhaps because this is actually a collection of short stories, rather than having one over-arching narrative, and with each of those stories seemingly 'linking in' to other comics which I haven't read?
As a result, large parts of it fell flat, and with me going "hunh? What's happened? What have I missed?" for large parts of it as well.
Not the best.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated I'll Seize the Day Tomorrow in Books

Is it bad that it took me a year to get to reading this book? Does that say something about me, or the book? Who knows.
Upon starting this bok I admit I had high expectations. I’m fairly spoiled when it comes to reading good books. And if a book isn’t something I like, I figure life is too short to waste my time reading it. The thing about this book is it was mildly entertaining, but if I want to read a book of funny personal essays, I’m going to read David Sedaris or the like. Sorry Mr. Goldstein, I’m just not diggin’ it.

Kristin (149 KP) rated The Guest (The Chosen Chronicles #0.5) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
This is a short story than can be read alone or can go along with "The Chosen Chronicles" series. The Guest, from the title, is residing at a Buddhist monastery, and the reader gets to see how he handles the ideas of Death, Karma, and Reincarnation, especially when they deal with someone he considers a close friend.
While the story is only a few pages in length, the imagery is wonderful, and I could fully visualize the monastery, the monks, and the Guest. This little snippet makes me want to dive right into the series and read more of Ms. Dales' work right away!

Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated milk and honey in Books
Dec 10, 2018
All in all, this was an easy read but I was hoping to feel more as I read it. I found I only really identified with a handful of the poems and felt like many of the shorter ones were there as page filler to make the book seem longer. I really enjoyed all the artwork, however, and I'll probably end up reading her next book to see how her writing has evolved. I just ended up feeling like this sort of fell short of the hype that was created around it, however, I understood why a lot of women could identify with the poems.
Merissa (13414 KP) rated Where Did All The Dragons Go? in Books
Dec 17, 2018
Wonderful for all ages and Dragon Lovers!
This is one of my all-time favourite books and it still brings a lump to my throat when I read it to my daughters. In fact, it is their most requested book to be read out too.
The story (although short) is wonderful and trips off your tongue with lilting cadences and takes you from start to finish with a rhyme. The illustrations are magnificent, but maybe not the "normal" which just makes it more enjoyable.
Highly recommended for reading to your children or grandchildren ..... or if you want to remind yourself of where the dragons really are!
