Blood,Sweat and Books

work in progress image Good day fellow followers! It's Thursday, which means it is time for another edition of Let's Reminisce Together. This week I want to look back at a book that I reviewed a few years ago called Ninja Versus Pirate Featuring Zombie by James Marshall (You can read that review by clicking Here). Ninja Versus Pirate was one of the first books I ever read through Netgalley. At the time, I had high hopes for the story. Sure the title should have given me some sort of clue to the mess within but call me optimistic... I really thought this would be a quirky fun read.  Sadly, even after all these years and 1 failed reread I am still not really sure what the point of the story was. Now you're probably thinking "Well you're still talking about it. So that's good right?" . Eh, maybe. I mean, I do think about this book a couple times of year but on the other hand it's mostly in response to "What's the worst book yo...

Scioneaux & Dane Hatchell Genre: Young Adult, Horror Publisher: Evil Jester Press Publication Date: October 16, 2013 As blood stains the sugar white sands of Pensacola Beach, mysterious disappearances plague the area. But this doesn't stop a group of high school seniors from having one last blowout at an exclusive beach mansion before graduation. But Mandy, the party's host, has plans of her own. With a special friend, a massive bull shark she befriended as a child, Mandy plans to work through her teen angst the only way she knows how: with the help of massive jaws and an insatiable appetite for human flesh! Review Slipway Grey is a book that I have had kicking around in my closet for a couple of years now. I don't really remember how the book came to be in my possession but I'm pretty sure it was won through a giveaway of some sort. With Shark Week fast approaching I needed something to put me in the mood and Slipway Grey was...

work in progress image Good day fellow followers! It's Thursday, which means it is time for another edition of Let's Reminisce Together. This week I want to look back at Read Along Adventures aka AudioBooks for kids. Audio Books today are of course delivered electronically (mostly) and can be listened to from practicually any device that has speakers (laptops, E-Readers, Cell Phones etc...) but remember when you needed a tape recorder or record player to listen to them?? Enter, Read Along Adventures. One of my favorite things about growing up in the 80's was listening to books on tape. I would carry my little record player with me everywhere and pretend to read the books I was listening too. Some of the coolest stories came from Movies and if a movie was popular enough you'd bet your bottom dollar a Read-Along Adventure was shortly to follow. Image from Wikipedia I also remember listening to books through devices such as Teddy Ruxpin or the Mother Goose...
