3.0/5 Mixed Bag of Short Stories Summary: The first and second stories kind of blended in together. I had to restart the audiobook to even remember what the first one was about. I guess I should probably evaluate them separately because they’re very different tales. Additional Comments: – In the Business: 3/5 I totally…
Adana the Earth Dragon: An Elemental Tale by Debbie ManberKupfer Narrated by Fiona Thraille 4.0/5 Cute, Very Short Story Summary: This is a very short story about an Earth dragon that basically follows a typical kid’s story arc.

3/5 stars Mixed Bag Short Story Collection Summary: The stories range a bit in genre from zombie apocalypse to family drama to futuristic scifi to suspense to flat out horror.

3/5 stars A Turtle’s Magical Adventure by Wanda Luthman Summary: Tad the Turtle’s journey to accept himself. Additional Comments: – The book contained some interesting world-building (like the wizard’s seeming absolute rule over the forest), but there wasn’t enough details to really make anything stick. – I realize it’s a children’s book, but the turtle…

4.5/5 Stars Movie Review: Tomb Raider Summary: Lara Croft’s no stranger to the big screen or video games. After all, she started out way long ago as a video game character. This particular reboot follows a lot of things in the “new” games that explored more of her origin story. Additional Comments: – I…

Summary: Darcey Teller and Luv Lass team up to take on some heartless outlaws. Additional Comments: – The blurb pretty much outlines the whole story. – It’s not a perfect story, but…

Most of the time, I recommend reading a book’s blurb first, but in this case, just don’t if you hate spoilers. Summary: Peter’s got an incredible gift for playing the piano. Additional Comments:…
