Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Nickelodeon Pandemonium #1 in Books
Jun 18, 2018
Nickelodeon Pandemonium #1 by Eric Esquivel, Stefan Petrucha is a quirky comic that early teen readers will enjoy. This book was a quick and easy read. The book is full of puns, jokes, silliness and action. In this book the reader is given 12 different comics. Before the comic this is a short biography interview of some of the authors and illustrators. This book will be entertaining to readers to like comedy and graphic novels.
I give this book 4/5 stars.
I received this book from Papercutz via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Old Haunts: A Simon Serrailler Short Story in Books
Oct 21, 2018
A very short story of a flashback to a point in time when the main character Simon Serrailler reminisces about his first foray into undercover work. It also includes an extract from the newest full length book The Comforts of Home.
Although it's just enough to wet your appetite, it's not enough to really get your teeth into but I would definitely recommend you read the full length stories and use this as an added extra.
Thank you to the publisher, Random House UK, Vintage Publishing via NetGalley in return for an honest and unbiased review.

LilyLovesIndie (123 KP) rated On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little House, #4) in Books
Nov 5, 2018
I'll keep this short and sweet otherwise I will be repeating everything I've pointed out in other reviews of this series.
I really enjoyed this, the trials and tribulations, the reality of life on the move and the beginning of their schooling was thoroughly enjoyable to read. The prose appears to develop as Laura gets older, and that is lovely. The introduction of newer characters like Nellie and Christy really help liven up the story and bring a breath of fresh air into the family dynamic.
Overall it progresses nicely, picks up right where they left off and is lovely :)

David McK (3632 KP) rated First Sword (Roman Arena, #3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The third book in Simon Scarrow's Arena series of e-book exclusives, this (like the previous two) only consists of 9 chapters and so is a pretty short read.
Unlike the last entry, however, Macro plays more of a role in this story, which is set in and around the running of a lanista (Gladiator 'school') rather than in an Arena. Again, the culmination of the novel is a fight between two Gladiators: this time, though, they are fighting in the grounds of the lanista (one for survival, the other to escape) rather than in the Arena for the amusement of the mob ...

rebeccareadsyt (8 KP) rated The Tattooist of Auschwitz in Books
Jan 17, 2019
Absolutely heart-wrenching yet beautiful at the same time
I picked this up last summer when it was first released, as I am a sucker for war fiction, particularly anything to do with WW2 and the Holocaust.
I really liked that the author took the time to get to know Lale, his history and then write about it with such care. The characters were captivating, and you really did feel almost every emotion going when reading.
Read in under 24 hours, an impressive feat for me!

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated A Ranger for the Twins in Books
Feb 24, 2021
Do you love stories of hope, love, and second chances? Well, then you definitely should check out A Ranger for the Twins by Tanya Agler. It embodies Harlequin’s Heartwarming theme as it will surely be a sweet quick read that will engage you.
Both Lucie and Caleb have been through a lot in their lifetime, and it shows in their characters. They are not very trusting but they both have great growth in that area and many others in such a short time. I also really enjoyed the twins and their fun antics with their array of animals
