Helpful HudsonHelpful Hudson by Dannielle Pickford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Helpful Hudson is a picture book aimed at children between the ages of three to seven years of age. The story is about a little boy named Hudson who is always there when others need him. He earned the nickname Helpful Hudson because he can always be counted on to help with chores around the house or yard. When Helpful Hudson wakes up one day, he feels tired and overwhelmed and it concerns his loved ones. Hudson has been so busy helping others that he forgot to take care of himself. As his family helps him, he learns an important lesson about self-care and taking time for himself.

Helpful Hudson was a beautifully written and engaging book that contains valuable life lessons for children about the importance of self-care. The illustrations were bright, fun, and really made the story come to life. Hudson has spent so much time helping everyone else that he became tired and did not feel like helping anymore. When his family realized that Hudson was feeling overwhelmed, they took turns caring for him so that he would feel better. Through this not only did Hudson learn that he needed to take time for himself, but he learned that it was okay for others to be there for him as well. This was a great book that I feel teaches a valuable lesson for not just kids but acts as a gentle reminder to adults as well. Sometimes as adults we need to practice self-care so that we do not burn ourselves out.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

My reading experience with this book was complex. I found it intriguing, yet challenging. The wide variety of subject matter keeps things interesting, however the composition of the book itself seems chaotic. The artwork on the pages, while beautiful, was a lot of visual noise that was very distracting at times. You can tell that the author is aptly expressive with words, but the overall presentation detracted from it.
It was a unique and interesting journey from beginning to end. If you like unusual reading adventures, give it a try.

I stepped out of my normal comfort zone to try my hand at beat poetry. I found I liked it better if I tried to “read” it aloud like I was at a poetry slam.

I loved the graphic art/design of the book- made it feel as if the pages were playing music as you read the poems. I honestly didn’t understand most of the poems, yet I could tell they were powerful. I also enjoyed the narratives sprinkled about the book about the authors’ clear love of the Beatles.

My favorite poems were “You Say You’re King,” because I understood some of the metaphors and connections to Shakespeare, an area I have read. I think I would have enjoyed this volume more if I could connect more with the Beatles songs and find the correct pentameter the author was thinking. In the referenced poem, I loved the line “you think you’re modern William S., more like Hamlet and a mess.” The second poem I really resonated with was “Spelling Check You Break My Neck,” because it was a satirical look at editing and had a great beat.

Overall, I am glad I picked it up and tried something new!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this slow burn romance. The author does a great job of making it engaging and making the characters likeable. This story has some great moments that really made me laugh and it is full of twists and turns so you never quite know what to expect.

I really enjoyed the growth of the characters especially Bailey. What starts out as a joke list by her brother of ways she can improve herself actually turns into her journey of finding herself and learning to be the best person she could be.
I also enjoyed her relationship with Tanner. Even though she was reluctant to give him the time of day as the story progresses and she actually gets to know him she realises he is more compatible for her than she thinks. Just goes to show you can never judge a book by the cover which I think is a great lesson to teach people.
I like how they complement each other and the grow together which was really nice to see.

Overall it was a lovely sweet romance which a lot of character growth which made the story even more engaging as you want to see how the characters are going to progress and grow.

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville #1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Truly is a down on her luck girl, working 3 jobs to make ends meet. Also, her memories surrounding the age of 9 have simply vanished. She seeks a new therapist which helps her open her mind. Surrounding her new awareness are unfortunate accidents of those that have slighted our main character. Jeff, a detective, feels these accidents are more than they appear.
This is not a typical genre for me but I found myself loving the plot and seeing what was going on with Truly and how she is connected to the accidents. It was easy to follow the storyline but it had a somewhat predictable ending. I liked how the fortunes were used throughout the story to make the flow work well. Good start to this series.

Hero Complex is a very easy and fun read. The story flows seamlessly. I love how the author incorporates both points of view from the main characters. The character development is very well done not just with the main characters but also with the minor characters. My favorite part of the book is how Ace and Ivy work together to resolve their issues as a couple and the situations outside their relationship.

This original romcom had me laughing out loud way too much. The characters are likeable and Bailey grew so much over the course of the book. There is the kindhearted, compassionate & quirky guy and the self-doubting, sassy girl who have to find their balance to make things work which made this so more relatable. I really enjoy this authors work and can’t wait to see what she brings out next. Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Twisted Bond by Danielle Jacks just became my favourite read of her. It is a fantastic paranormal romance with witches, shifters, curses, adventure, chemistry, steam, drama, danger, family, responsibility, secrets, finding love unexpectedly, and so much more.
I loved the fairytale feel of this story and the connection between Rose and Titan. Circumstances may have thrown these two together, and there may have been a bit of an enemies-to-lovers start to this romance- but there were sparks and sizzle galore.
Ms. Jacks has woven a wonderful tale, drawing me in easily and enticing me to form connections- because I was invested in these two right from the outset. I swooned, cursed, smiled, got all the ‘feels’, as well as experiencing a few anxious moments- and LOVED every minute!
Now I can’t wait to see what she does next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Danielle Jacks!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she alway knows how to keep you on your toes. This is the third book of the very addictive series The Cecily Taylor. I don’t think you should read these books as stand alones because they all collide together. I was so excited to read this book that I stopped everything and started to read it right away. You can’t help but to fall in love with this character. I could not put this book down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this character will do next?

Cecily is so excited to move into the best city where her pop boyfriend Andrew lives. She has finally landed a part in a major soap opera. Cecily is offered a role in another’s music stars video and she takes it. She did the video to get her name out there even more but she didn’t expect all the crazy rumors though. Cecily is starting to feel like maybe the Big City might not be for her. Will Cecily get her big break or will she have to start all over?

Naomi was married to a real snob and after the divorce he manipulated everything , she couldn’t find a job and the settlement was pathetic and because money is power she was having a time finding a job no thanks to her influential ex so this move was the perfect opportunity…,

I think they’ll enjoy this adventure …. Then they find a body in their shed and my heart drops but then they meet their neighbours , Barbra and Isabel and my heart starts beating again 😍

Barbra and Ingrid are the best , they loves their tea , Ingrid collects teapots and tea is the solution to any crisis or celebration! …..

Ella and Naomi stay with Barbra and Isabel while they wait for the heating to be fixed in their house and that’s how a beautiful friendship is formed and the sleuthing begins ….

I read this , finished it and read it again straight after ,
that’s how much I enjoyed this read !
I can’t wait to read every other book in this series !
I laughed at the banter between these people , the copious amounts of tea made and drunk and the mystery of who and why a woman was murdered was most entertaining 🫶🏼

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was very excited to read a romance involving country music. This is the third in a series but absolutely can be read as a standalone. I dont think i felt like i was missing info or confused on anything by not reading the previous two books first. This story follows Hank who gets a little lost in life when his band doesnt work out like he hoped. He runs in to miss Ella Mae by chance at a concert of his Idol and turns out, Ella Mae is his idols sister! A chance encounter when Hank is at his lowest is really a turning point in life for him and he finds a lot more throughout his journey with Ella Mae. This story has some heavy topics and the banter was decent but a little corny at times. I was shocked at some points and felt all the emotions the characters did. This was a fun music based romance which i was so glad for because the last romance i read with the same concept was so bad. This had a good balance of music and career development for the characters as well as personal things going on to keep the story going. This really felt like getting a glimpse at tour life.

The Boys of Alpha BlockThe Boys of Alpha Block by Nancy Nau Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boys of Alpha is the first book I have read by this author, Nancy Nau Sullivan. I was very intrigued about this story by the cover, and I was not disappointed.
The story is full of emotions and suspense, the story builds slowly and then picks up. This thrilling tale is very well written with psychological elements and was a surprise to read.
The characters are interesting, and you become invested in them and their plight. Imagine being locked away and being treated as scum by some who abuse the power they hold. The boys incarcerated in Alpha Block suffer fear, humiliation, physical and verbal abuse.
When enough is enough the boys put together a plan but what will they have to sacrifice and what will be the consequences of their actions?
What is the price you are willing to pay? Is freedom worth the price?
I hope to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have a love/hate relationship with this series. I loved Brutal Days. What I hate is I now have to wait for Brutal Nights. This author pulls you in. You get so into reading and bam it’s done left on a cliffhanger that the next book will pick up on immediately.
There’s 4 members of the Elite and each one gets a duet set of books in this series. This is the first book in Damon’s set. You don’t need to read the previous set to read this one, but I think you should. The author has created a world with so much drama, animosity, heat, and attraction that will have you wanting more.
Damon and Skylar are no different. But at the same time they are. Skylar makes a deal with a “Demon”(his nickname if you read the first set you know that if not you’ll find out why in this one.) What happens when that deal backfires on her?
There’s so much going on that once it’s starts you’ll be disappointed but wanting more when it abruptly ends.
I can’t wait till Brutal Nights comes out. I need to know how Damon and Skylar’s story ends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trapping the Butterfly is a coming-of-age short story and the first book in the Butterflies Fly Free Series. I enjoy Debra’s diversity in the genres she writes.
This book is set in the roaring 20’s in a time of fast women, prohibition and the harsh underworld of gangsters toting Tommy guns and Al Capone.
This very well written intriguing and fascinating story will have you engaged and on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It’s easy to see Debra’s passion shine through in the writing and descriptive details make it easy to imagine that time.
This is Bethany’s story. One where this naive and sheltered young woman longs to be free of societies expectations and the harshness and confinements placed upon her by her family. Her clothes, her time, her choices. It’s easy to imagine the flappers dancing around in their short skirts and bobbed hair.
Will this young woman be drawn into a harsh world she had no idea existed or will she find love of a good man?
Whelp to find out you will have to get a copy. You will not be disappointed.

Ways to Improve Bailey is a fun and not your usual YA Rom Com. It will have you laughing out loud. I love that Cori’s cleverly crafted stories are a little different, original and imaginative. It is fun and entertaining with loveable, quirky and flawed characters that bring the story to life especially Tanner and Bailey’s bestie Marci.
This quirky slow burn romance will also have your taste buds salivating. Journey along as the characters work through real “first world problems” that YA’s have.
There is humour, fears, drama, family, adventure and emotions.
Bailey is sassy and has the usual raging teen angst and grumpiness which is perpetuated by her brothers ‘list’. It was good to watch her grow and come into herself. Admitting you have problems to be address is hard.
YAs are going to enjoy reading about Bailey.

Twisted Bond is a wonderful dark paranormal romance story. My kind of favourite story telling. I really enjoy Danielle Jacks stories and when I saw this new book out, I jumped right on it.
This enemy to lovers has lots of different and interesting elements to keep the reader engrossed. With Shifters, witches, curses, magic, royalty, drama and steamy romance there is a little of everything for any lover of paranormal.
Danielle’s clever world building, intriguing storytelling, and character development makes the realms and characters feel real. There is a lot going on, so the story is told from many different POV’s giving us an even deeper insight to the characters. There are many layers to these characters.
Rose is on a mission to get back what is truly hers. Only what she didn’t expect was him.

5 stars from me!
Everything from sibling relationships and support systems to overcoming fears and personal growth, this book has it all.

Having her brother constantly telling her what she’s doing wrong and framing it as something their parents wanted him to do has Bailey exhausted and feeling like she’s never enough. But at the same time, he’s her brother and she loves him so she does it as to not disappoint him. Her best friend, Marnie, is there to support her but when she agrees that there’s area Bailey could work on, she knows some of them may be real.

 

I love the sibling dynamic between Bailey and Dayton. Especially how they look out for and respect one another while still getting on each others nerves, as siblings do. Bailey’s growth throughout the book and realizing certain things she was doing were to protect herself, which is very relateable.

This is an enjoyable enemies to lovers paranormal romance between Rose and Titan.

The author was able to create a unique story which was both well written and gripping. There were several brilliant scenes that immerse you right into the middle of the story and I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the pages. Plenty of suspense and romance

The characters were interesting and had great chemistry keeping me engaged in their situations.
Both Rose and Titan share admirable qualities – strong and determined to see things through, but my favourite was Rose. She’s just brilliant.

I expecting to like this book, but I wasn’t prepared for just how much I enjoyed it. I’ll be seeking out more from this author in future!
