I've read other books by this author and those were so much better than this series. I'm wondering if maybe they were newer and she just got better as time went on. But Darcy Coates is one author I keep at the top of my list for an always read.
This series and this book was scary. If I can't read a book because the sun has set, then that is a scary book. This I finished at night because I had no worries. I'm glad I read it. ...more
A very cute book about a ghostkeeper who sits and talks with the ghosts so they can move to the next place in their journey. I really liked reading thA very cute book about a ghostkeeper who sits and talks with the ghosts so they can move to the next place in their journey. I really liked reading this book, it was charming and taught me about the importance of listening to people or ghosts, and having empathy for others, and also to take care of yourself. The romantic story line was adorable. I loved Brody, the chonky bookstore owner. Dorian, the ghostkeeper, was a bit irritating but he was dealing with the ghosts and the living and all of them wanted him to do something for them or to leave or just thought he was a nuisance. I thought the author did a great job at this story. And I loved the illustrations. ...more

This was not what I expected. I actually thought it was a fiction book like the movie. But most of it was about UFOs. And it didn't read well for me. This was not what I expected.

They are written for juvenile readers and I enjoy them too. All these things that the kids in the book had and had to deal with was nothing like when I was a kid in school. Nowadays kids can't have cell phones on in school but you have notifications from the school go to your cell phone.... so how does that work? Anyway, it is something I will just imagine.
I wrote down two notes while reading this book:
page 26 - That Teenbuzz notification on the phone was absolutely annoying.
page 126 - Teenbuzz - shut the LOL Hurricanes up already!!!! (IYKYK) And why are you only telling girls what they need to do to get the boys attention? Grrrr
Aside from Teenbuzz, I thought this was a great book for kids to read. It puts them in a place where they need to realize this situation can happen....more

I wanted to know about how apples have been changed and not so much about Johnny Appleseed. The author only talked about apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes. Not much about how we humans have changed the plants but how we, along with the plants, have changed them. I was disappointed. ...more

That was full of so much information that I was looking for. But this cookbook is just like all the other ones with weird ingredients and things I would never cook with and/or eat. Not one of the recipes was interesting enough for me. Plus, some of the Phase 1 recipes were really high in carbs. I don't want to waste my carbs on something that is 10 carbs for 1 cup of roasted tomato sauce. And that was a Phase 1 recipe. Sorry Dr. Westman. I'll stick to your books....more

You get the patterns for 4 characters, naked or with a t-shirt. Then you can make all sorts of clothes for them to wear. I'm looking at the pumpkin outfit to do first. I'm in love with the teddy bear. But all the characters are so adorable. ...more
