Introduction: This is the third year for picking songs for my incoming Chemistry class. The list changes over the year, but I like to take a moment to explain the initial choices. This year, I did something different with the order, I put all the instrumental songs first and then put songs with lyrics. The…
Narrated by Kevin E. Green Summary: Slim Hardy gets hired by a landowner to find out who’s blackmailing him and why. The blackmailer should be long dead. Additional Comments: Main Character 3/5 Stars: Slim Hardy’s not a great detective. I think that’s kind of the point. His personal issues get in the way of him…
Narrated by Katherine Anderson *spoilers possible in discussion Summary: Essentially a long sequel to Pride and Prejudice. Imagine the book didn’t wrap up and just continued for another 14 hours’ worth of material. Additional Comments: Because it’s written in the same style as Jane Austen’s work, it takes a while for me to wrap my…
Narrated by Kathleen Li *Spoilers possible in the discussion Summary: Destiny comes into her powers and meets her man. Additional Comments: This book is almost identical to the first book in the series, except that Blake’s already in town. Destiny’s gift of fire is pretty neat. There was more of an attempt to give Blake…
Genre: Superhero stories Summary: Not sure how much I remember from this story. I think it landed on a cliffhanger, but I don’t think they bothered making a sequel. The Pixelberry people probably have some sort of tracking system to see which stories are most profitable. Additional Comments: The main character can be male or…
Will attempt to keep this spoiler free. Summary: This book wins for weirdest way to get a cool power. It’s cliché, but I don’t think they’ve done anything like it before. The MC gets struck by lightning and suddenly can read people’s and animals’ thoughts. Additional Comments: It was a tad strange to me that…
Summary: The MC lost a sibling (I think) and ends up trying to find answers in an old mansion. Pretty sure there’s a best friend around too. This is one of the shortest Pixelberry stories. I believe it’s only 5 chapters long. Additional Comments: It’s an okay story. They are definitely not kidding about the…
Narrated by Ginger Sue and Dustin Spiehler Summary: A fairy is chosen to be a companion for a sadistic princess. Additional Comments: 2.5/5 Main Character: Finished the book yesterday and I honestly can’t remember the main character’s name. That tells me she’s not that memorable. I remember she’s a fairy. She was clueless at the…
(Pegasus Quincy Book 3 by Lakota Grace) Narrated by Amy Otteson Summary: Peg Quincy’s caught a new case. A barn burns down on a horse ranch and the foreman’s dead. Shepard Malone’s Peg’s partner of sorts, but he’s distracted by a personal case against a reckless driver. Translation: he’s no help to her. Additional Comments:…
*May be spoilers, but if you’ve seen the original, you’re 100% spoiled already. Summary: The live action, for lack of a better term, remake of Disney’s animated classic, The Lion King is honestly sort of disappointing. Not much about the story changed, though that’s not a surprise with it being a remake. Additional Comments: I…
