    About this ebook

    Can the worst pirate ever find his way home from the Island of No Return?

    My stupid brother has tricked me into the worst holiday ever… on the Island of No Return. I’m stuck herewith just a chicken for company unless I can find some treasure – then Blackbeard says he will come and get me (nice of him). All I have to do is follow a treasure map through a jungle full of pirate-eating creatures (no problem), into the deepest, darkest probably-haunted cave (not at all scary, not at all scary, not at all scary) and track down the hidden gold that is so well hidden everyone gets lost trying to find it (perfect). My life is ruined. Signed Pirate Blunderbeard.

    Pirate Blunderbeard might be on the worst holiday ever but it’s also the funniest - laugh-out-loud fun for readers of 7+

      Space was not a finite container, but that didn't mean it was empty. Asteroids, stars, planets, the current stream; space debris, ships, fragmented moons, undiscovered worlds; this was a place of endless possibility and unfathomable freedom. It was not nothing, it was everything.
      I had some mixed feelings about the first book, but I entirely loved this one! It was so good!

      The inclusion of Eijeh and Cisi's perspectives really added a lot to the story and the world. We got to see so much more through them than just through Akos and Cyra, and it was greatly appreciated. I got my more planets wish and got some awesome visuals along the way (Ogra is my dream aesthetic)

      The themes were great in this, and the pacing was also great. Everything was great.

      I was hesitant about the Lazmet death retcon, but it was done really well and added a lot to the story. The plot twists were all super effective and the hard-hitting moments were pretty intense.

      Let me just say that I hate Isae Benesit and will never like her. The end.

      (note to Veronica Roth: PLEASE do not make this a trilogy! Two is fine! An unresolved political drama is perfectly okay to leave hanging. Don't pull an Allegiant on us again!)
    • 4/5
      A solid continuation of Carve the Mark. Veronica Roth certainly knows how to craft a compelling tale and this story, which picks up where the previous volume left off, has plenty of twists earlier on that keep one engaged. The ending was satisfying (better than the ending of the Divergent series) and I would be happy to visit this world again but hopefully not as a continuation of this story.
    • 5/5
      The sequel was not as good as the first. But I was still interested in the characters and how the story would unfold. I aslo wish that this wasn't the last we hear of these characters but it truely seems like the end of the story.
    • 4/5
      I really liked Carve the Mark, although I'd not given it much thought since reading it. I zipped through the sequel. It is a bit more straightforward and a bit less dark than the first book, because the characters are dealing with all that’s already gone wrong, rather than constantly navigating new disasters. In some ways, fewer new disasters is a good thing -- otherwise it would have been difficult for the story to conclude satisfyingly. I liked the twists and revelations, and the way the characters’ foretold fates played out. I liked the way it resolved some things and made other things more complicated.However… I was expecting it to pack more of an emotional impact. In hindsight, I wanted it to focus even more on the characters’ relationships with their families. I’d have liked to see more exploration of what it means to be the child of an oracle, and more of characters either processing their feelings about, or attempting to reconcile with, family. There are different ways that could have been done and different ways it could have played out, and still fitted with the plot as it otherwise stands.… it’s suddenly dawned on me that I wanted this to have the FEELINGS of a Melina Marchetta book. Alas, it does not.“Oh, honestly,” Teka groaned. “Is it some kind of rule of the universe that at least one Noavek asshole has to be alive at any given time, or what?”Cyra swivelled to face her. “What am I, then? Not alive?”“Not an asshole,” Teka replied. “Bicker with me much more and I'll change my mind.”

      Last summer I actually enjoyed the first book of the Fame Games series. It was a good poolside read that required next to no concentration. I had decided I would read the next book and just now got around to it. Honestly, I wasn't missing much. This book really lacked substance and plot. (Two important elements to a good book.) If you enjoyed watching The Hills just to veg out, then you will probably enjoy this book because they are similar in the sense that really nothing happens. I think I'm done reading these books. Well, until I find myself wanting another poolside read, requiring zero concentration.
    • 3/5
      Don't get me wrong, it's a good chick lot book and I'm glad how LC tries around some the characters but as usual, it's formulaic....
    • 3/5
      Book 2 in The Fame Game series. Madison has taken the fall for her father's theft of a diamond necklace, so now she's doing community service for a pet shelter, where she's given the worst jobs. Her career is also suffering. Kate, experiencing stagefright, gets dangerously close to abusing prescription drugs, as does Gaby. Carmen is starting to make a name for herself as an actress but finds it difficult to get out from under her mother's shadow. And as always, realationships, or lack of, play a role in their lives.
    • 3/5
      WTF is going on in this book, between the similar names or characters that have almost identical current gifts. Can I just say that I thought the term "current gifts" meant current as time. Like they would get new one at some other age. No, it wasn't until the end of this book "current" is as in electricity. That I'd jus far behind I am in this story.
    • 4/5
      There is something about Conrad’s writing that just sucks me into her stories. I am happy to say that Starstruck was just good as The Fame Game and I am impressed with the growth we’ve seen in Madison’s character. There are far less reality TV driven scandals in this series than there were in L.A. Candy, which makes the two series similar, but also very different. While L.A. Candy is very much plot driven, The Fame Game is actually more character drivenMy favorite character in The Fame Game was Kate. She was so normal and down-to-earth that I thought she would be very similar to Jane—not so much. We see some definite changes in Kate’s character in Starstruck, and unfortunately I can’t say they were good changes. Madison, however, continued her growth from her L.A. Candy days.Madison is by far the most surprising part of this series. Anyone who has read L.A. Candy knows how hateful she was. Would anyone believe she is my favorite character in Starstruck? Making Madison more likable was brilliant and has added so much to Starstuck.While there was, of course, some level of drama, it didn’t feel that scandalous. There were a lot more shocking scenes in L.A. Candy & The Fame Game, but Starstruck felt like it was more about growing up, finding your place, and adjusting to the limelight. Even though Starstruck doesn’t have the same fame-grubbing, camera hogging quality that Lauren Conrad’s previous novels have, it is still an enjoyable read. Emphasizing the characters and down playing the drama is a new direction for Conrad’s novels, but I have to say that it works well. The next novel, Infamous, is expected to be released in June.
