This is such a sweet series that young readers can enjoy reading independently or having it read to them. Rusty’s grandpa gave him a brass ring awhile back that takes them on magical adventures when it is used while riding the carousel. This time, the carousel is the Christmas carousel in the mall as the one in the park is closed for the season. Rusty has his heart set on a specific gift for Grandpa but it’s a bit out of his price range. It’s during his carousel adventures that Rusty learns the best gift to give Grandpa.
This book does address elderly aging and Alzheimer’s. It would be a good way to introduce a young mind to this issue should it be something they should be exposed to.
This is the second book in a series and could be read as a standalone. However, you will miss out on a lot of adventures from the previous story, along with a much more detailed background.
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading about the Haunted Carousel coming in 2024!!

The Ocean in His Veins (The Ocean Series) by A.R. Hadley. In this book we meet Cal Prescott who lives in Florida and is 16. He is a lover of the ocean and most days can be found there. When he enters college he secretly fall in love and has a relationship with a professor. He was taught at a early age to control his emotions but the love between him and Jocelyn was very real. It lasted 4 years and then he had to move on. He had goals and he was determined to meet those goals.

When reading the other books.in the series I somehow managed to overlook this one so decided it was time to finally add it in. Although I never felt like I was missing something, I am really glad I did because it is such a great story. It was nice seeing an earlier version of Jake and Cody and seeing how their characters had developed.over time. They are juat as engaging now as they were then. The story itself is fast paced and exciting. So much seems to happen in these books and I am always engrossed in this story. This is a fantastic book and the whole series is worth a read!

Where the Ocean Meets the Sky (The Ocean Series) by A.R. Hadley. When I started reading this series I wasn’t sure which book to start with so i just started reading and this is actually book 2 I believe but it didn’t matter because they are so good. This book deals with the untimely death of Annie Baxter’s brother. Annie is devastated and doesn’t really know what to do. She ultimately decides to go to Florida to work on her photography portfolio. When Annie attends a friends party she meets Cal and the only problem is he’s 45 and she’s 25 but regardless of their ages sparks fly. They are immediately drawn to one another and their lives are very similar to the point they can relate to each other. Annie is really an old soul due to all the trauma in her life. So the age difference doesn’t effect them at all. The lack of communication is the biggest problem between the 2 of them. This book was so well written that I felt like Cal and Annie were my friends. I loved this book!

This is the first book that I have read by Nadia. It’s a fast paced book that pulls you around Lynn and James’ life and possible plans after winning the lottery. However, you are pulled into a paranoia that someone is out to get Lynn. Can she figure out if someone is actually trying to hurt her or is it all in her head? This is the first book in the series and there a lot of unanswered questions. You will need to finish the series in order for it to make sense. There is a lot of violence specifically domestic violence, so if you have been in that situation this is not a series for you to read.

The Christmas Carousel by K.L. Small is the second book in the Brass Ring series. It follows now 11-year-old Russell thorough a special seasonal Christmas Carousel in the mall. The seven wooden animals he meets help him uncover the true meaning of Christmas.
While I enjoyed the first book, I have to say this one was far better. It touched my heart to read about some of the historical events and people of Christmas. Many of the topics covered would be good for a young adult reader entering middle school.

I really like how this author is able to bring these books alive and enable a child’s imagination. Along with helping kids to learn to read. I just wish that my children were younger as I would certainly be buying these books for them. The author really builds a great world and is able to spark the child’s interest. I truly recommend this author and her books if you have kids. The characters are unique and the stories are original and help to get the interest in reading sparked. I look forward to reading more from this author.
The Catford Catastrophe Zone by Petra Jacob is a dystopian science fiction set in the year 2120. It follows Frankie who is an undercover police officer in London. Frankie has aspirations to be one of the DNA-enhanced superheroes of the civil world. To attain the dream, she must do one more job. Going to a poverty zone – a place where the lazy, poor, and undesirables are sent – Frankie is asked to uncover rebellion.
The book features many thought-provoking possibilities of where a tech-focused society could find itself. It would be perfect for the reader that enjoys surprising twists with unexpected outcomes. It is certainly set in a unique world.

Quite a different genre type read for me. I’ve watched a handful of Western movies but not my usual cup of tea. I decided to give this read a try. This was filled with such imagery of the Western vibe as well with romance and thrill in the story line. Lots of details given of the characters along the way but it all wraps into the story as it continues along. Story set in the 1880s in the Arizona Territory, the readers get to know of Feinmore as he grows and emerges into his own thought process. Moments of gangs, murder, mayhem, and coming of age as Feinmore discovers more about himself. For those readers who enjoy thrills and Westerns, this would be a great selection!

It feels like it has been such a long time since I read one of these books and this one has to be the best so far. It was so easy to reconnect with the characters and become engaged with the story. This book is just as exciting and fast paced of the rest of the series. It is action packed right from the word go. One of my favourite things about this series is the connection between Jake and Cody. It is lovely to see how much they both rely on each other, not just one way or the other. With each book, their relationship grows stronger. This author has created a strong and lasting series and I hope there will be many more books to come.

This book is part of 2 books in The Ocean series. This book can be read as a standalone thankfully as I’m not sure which way round they are supposed to be read. So I just dived in. This is a romance where the author has put 3 books into 1 so it is quite a lengthy read. However that being said it doesn’t feel like a long read because you get so invested in the characters and their lives that it flys by. The author’s writing is beautiful, very descriptive and really paints the picture of everything from the characters thoughts and feelings to the view around them. Both of our main characters are dealing with demons and struggling with life in their own way which is partly what the story is about how they both struggle to overcome their pasts to create a future of love. At times I wanted to laugh and at others I wanted to cry and on more than one occasion I wanted to shake both of our main characters . However I feel once I read the next book Cals behaviour will make more sense to me. Overall I loved the story and can’t wait to read the next one.
This is a beautiful story of 2 people who find each other, while having demons to battle which make them question themselves and things around them. As well as a age gap and the fact that they are only going to have the summer together both of them are powerless to stop what their heart desires. Can this new found love help them both heal? What happens when the summer is over?

I just absolutely loved this book! I think it is so important for children to feel positive about themselves from a young age and I loved all the positive affirmation in this book. it was presented in such a lovely way, with beautiful, bright, colour illustrations. The collage of positive affirmations at the end of the book was lovely. I would definitely make this book one that I read regularly with my child so they can practice positive affirmation from an early age.

Baking a Bicycle is another lovely children’s book in the Invisible Magic Wand story. Caspian and his Grandpa introduce us to another magical story where Caspian wishes for a bicycle for his unbirthday. Together Caspian and his Grandpa bake a bicycle and have a magical adventure on it. I love how these stories will capture children’s interest and introduce them to magical ideas. The story is easy to read and the illustrations are bright, colourful and engaging.

This was such a great read, I’ve read a few books by this author now and I really enjoy the stories she creates. I never really seemed to like Cozy Mystery books but this author has definitely changed my opinion about them. Genie and her ghostly great-great Aunt definitely make me laugh during their newest adventure to Italy. I was thoroughly entertained the whole way through. The author has a wonderful writing style that keeps you entertained the whole way through the book and makes you want to keep turning the pages to see what happens next. I am really looking forward to the next book from this author!

Christmas Cove was a really sweet Christmastime read and one that I really enjoyed. The characters America and Leo were such lovely people and I really took them both to my heart – I thought that they were both likeable and relatable. Alongside the main characters were some really fun and entertaining secondary characters who really added something extra to the story. The story definitely made me think of a Christmas movie and I love that it had that feel. Overall I really loved this book, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and definitely got me in the Christmas mood! I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

I’m not sure how to review this as it is a journal. I did not yet go through and complete the pages but looked at each. I’m waiting to begin when I can give it my attention. Life has been hectic and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to devote the energy it deserves. I love books like these. I’m a sucker for a journal and this one is beautiful. I enjoy this author so I knew it would be something beautiful.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I could not stop reading this book for nothing! As soon as I got the notification that this book was out, I immediately stopped what I was doing to read it. This was the best book in the series by far. It didnt even feel like I was reading, it felt as though I was in the action right there with the characters! The suspense and the ending was not one that I saw coming. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

This is the first book that I have read from an author and she now has a new fan. This is a book from the series Lake Juniper. I have not read a male/ male romance in a long time but I’m so glad I picked this one up. I could not help but to fall in love with both of these characters. They both had some problems to work through but with the right person nothing is impossible. I read this book in one sitting and I can’t wait to read the next book of this series.

As a child I always wanted to play detective, and so this book was right up my alley! I loved the characters and the way they played detective to solve the mystery! Looking forward to more in this series and sharing them with my daughter who also loves playing detective!

It is always a pleasure to read books by Sylvia Black. Especially this series. I’m telling you her storytelling is top notch with such a unique take on things.and Omg!!!! I was so looking forward to reading this one, after the last one I couldn’t wait for this release date! I know I said this before but I think Master Sardinia book is my new favorite book in the series 🤣🥰 just like the previous ones they are Spectacular, Super intense Vampire mafia romance that leaves you wanting more and more. With fated mates,enemies that turn to lovers, crazy danger, really steamy chemistry between Master Sardinia and Madria and Soo much more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading not just this but the last 7. You’ll be in love with author 🥰 I can not wait until January, so I can get my hands on the next books.

Each book in this series just gets better and better! I devoured this in one sitting because I couldn’t get enough and needed to see what was going to happen between Forrest and Kiera. There is much drama, danger, suspense, action, and spice! I appreciate the fact that the author does not rely on the steamy scenes to make the bulk of the book. The sensuality of Keira and Forrest’s relationship adds dimension to an already amazing storyline. You could read this as a standalone if you wanted, but getting the full background is always the best so I recommend starting at the beginning of the series!

I really enjoyed this deliciously slow burn! I’ve read a few books by this author and they’re all fantastic. From the very beginning I was very invested in the characters and what would happen. This author has a way of drawing you into their world slowly until you’re fully immersed. I read this in one sitting and was very excited to jump straight into the next book. It can feel a bit slow in the beginning, but I promise it picks up and you won’t want to miss what happens! I highly recommend picking this book up and getting lost in the world of Remi and Audri.

This book has a little bit of everything. Where the Ocean Meets the Sky is one of the longest books I’ve read recently. It’s one of those books you save for a rainy day. An age gap romance between two extremely damaged souls. And the way the author presents their stories gives the book quite a bit of depth. The author has you rooting for the two main characters in different ways. Drawn to Cal the moment she sees him Annie is still trying to pick up the pieces of her life since her rock(brother) passed away. Having felt lost the last year and struggling to push forward Cal’s very existence and focus on her, has her feeling alive again. However those around her keep pointing out the 20 year difference between them, and he keeps holding back on her. Will she be able to let her grief go and finally move forward with Cal? Cal has never been drawn to a woman, like he is Annie. But can he truly be with her? His past is lingering and it’s not something he’s all that willing to share. It’s emotionally and mentally taxing and he feels no one should have to shoulder that burden. Yet he pursues her anyway. He can’t stay away. Figuring one night will get her out of his system, boy was he wrong. Will he ever let Annie in? Will their secrets just destroy the fact they could heal one another? Things get complicated before they get easier. Which is usually the case, but since I said this book is on the longer side it should be expected. The author takes the reader on a heavy, painful, and healing story. One that some could relate too. I was partial to Cal rooting for him to take what he wants & fix what is broken, yet that’s easier said than done. So grab a blanket, find an oversized chair, and get ready to cuddle up because once you start the book you’re not going to want to put it down. The need to know is why I’ll be lacking sleep tomorrow…lol Learn from my mistakes and enjoy!

Nadia Han has given us wonderful characters, suspense, danger and so much more in this book, which is the third book in the WaterFyre Rising Series. These books can be read as standalones, but I wouldn’t as you will miss out on getting to see the shared past that ties the main male leads of these books together. **Be aware though this book has some trigger warnings and the author has kindly posted this..(Caution: This book contains sexual content, profanity, violence, mentions of suicide, and eating disorder. Recommended for 18+.) These triggers didn’t bother me or deflect from the book in any way for me, but I still wanted to mention them.
This is Forrest and Kiera’s story, and let me just tell you to get ready for some volcanic chemistry! I love Forrest’s alpha male vibe and how protective he is of his family and those he cares about. This turns out to be an amazing blessing as he rescues Kiera after she has been abducted and is about to be sold off. Forrest had to choose between the vendetta he has been waiting to see through since he was a boy and the girl who has entranced him. Did he make the right choice? He has already claimed her to be his, but will she accept and see it that way? Will his shared past from WaterFyre come into play? Grab this book and find out.
I read a great deal and usually see the plots and twists and turns coming, but this book really surprised me in a good way with it’s suspense, danger, drama, romance, heat, and overall storyline. Nadia Han is an amazing author that writes characters in such a realistic way that they truly come off the page and seem like they are in your world with you. I have loved this series so far and I truly can’t wait for the next installment.

The Inquisitor: A Second Chance Romance (WaterFyre Rising Book 4)
This series gets better with each book released and I get more invested in this group of people.
Forrest and Kiera have chemistry off the charts but things get awkward after their one night. Thank goodness for Texas.
I was on edge most of their time while reading waiting for everything to fall into place and questions I had answered and the bonus is I got to know more people.
I live just outside of Austin and have a affection for anything Austin. The shop Forrest’s grandmother made me think of a Metaphysical store on the East Side of town and was unable to get it out of my mind every time and I love little connections like that.
I have to wait until February for the next book to come out, but I will be on leave from work and plan to start reading as soon as it’s released.

I’m a new reader to this author but after reading this story I feel as if I have a new favorite to add to my list!!
I enjoy dystopian novels and this one did not disappoint. This is book one of the series which means there’s more adventures to come. It starts off with Lexi having a big birthday and in true Divergent vibes, she’s about to test out to see where she will fit in her future life. She isn’t thrilled with the concept of marrying someone that she hasn’t chosen herself. Essentially not having control over her life choices and her sense of independence did not feel right.
As Lexi finds herself at a crossroads and delving into a dangerous predicament, you find yourself emerged in a dark and tricky world. The expectations of others regarding her future is at an all time high, but just because someone expects something doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.
I highly recommend this book if you enjoy dystopian fiction and well written plots.
