Are you like me always searching for the one thing that will change your life after a lifetime of being overweight? Well then Kristens approach is a way to go. I have not put it into practice, but her book takes a look at the whole being instead of just the food aspect of weight loss. Its not a magical pill you can take or snap your fingers and you are thin as we would all like, but it does have a methodical look into the struggles of everyday life and the choices that have caused stumbling blocks for most of us. The End of Try Try Again is about health, food, mind, body, exercise and more. You never know this could be the breakthrough for you so give it a try.

4.5 stars “Absurd,” Said Bird is a beautiful picture book for children. The wonderful rich and vibrant illustrations are by the talented Ginger Nielson. This easy-to-read children’s book is for 3 – 8-year-olds and is quite the adventure but it also has a message. A message to pursue your dreams and persevere to make them come true. The cute story is filled with animals of all types found within a farm setting with wonderful friends and their eagerness to help a friend fulfill his dreams. My 7 year old and 4 year old grandsons loved it.

This book is full of bright colourful pictures that I am sure the little ones will love. Mouse is determined to fly to the moon to get some cheese. He tells the other farm animals if they help him build a plane he will bring them each back some cheese. All the animals think it is a clever idea, well except for bird. Bird thinks it is an absurd idea to build a plane. All the other animals help build the plane, take off does not go well for mouse at all. Bird swoops down to rescue mouse and tells him it is an absurd idea to build a plane to fly to the moon. Bird tells mouse he needs a rocket. Mouse thinks this is a clever idea and all the animals scramble for parts to build the rocket. For Bird this is not an absurd idea and leads the way to collect what they need to build their rocket.

What an entertaining book. For the week I had, this book made it so much better. I love a good romance that I can dive in that’s full of humor, romance, and fantastic characters. Right from the start, the story engages you. As a mama, I thought I was going to fall off my chair chuckling at the beginning. I haven’t read any of this author’s books before but I am going to need some more. You come away with a smile from this one.

Rocky the raccoon is having a hard time feeling excited about his family reunion. Now the time is here and Rocky is struggling to find something in common with the younger raccoons. That is until a problem arises and he has a solution.
Great story, I thought the way Rocky was a bit shy in participating was spot on with what a child would do with kids unfamiliar to them. Beautiful illustrations and a entertaining spirited time for the raccoons.

Cute story about Mouse and their adventure to go to the moon. However, while Mouse and the other farm animals are gathering supplies to build a plane Bird is telling them that the plan is “Absurd” but Mouse won’t listen. What happens when Mouse tries to fly the plane to the moon? Can you still be a supportive friend even if you don’t think all of your friends plans are perfect? Find out in this fantastic picture book. The illustrations in this book are out-of-this-world as well. I love the bright colors and the simple drawings.

Absurb said bird is a very fun book written by Tricia Gardella and beautifully illustrated by Ginger Nielson.
Mouse wants to get to moon to sample some cheese and convinces the other farmyard animals to help build a plane. Bird knows that only rockets can fly to the moon and keeps telling mouse his idea is “absurd” and after rescuing mouse on his failed attempt to fly – the animals and bird run to build a rocket.

The Music That Ties Us is part of the Love Ties Us series by Nicolette Terry, I have never read a book by this author before, but I will be keeping an eye out for more. I really enjoyed everything about this book, it got me mad which is a good thing. The story follows Cadence who finds herself in an unfulfilling relationship with a who is stifling her, when Cadence goes to a concert with her sister Jade, she does not expect to have an instant connection with the smouldering lead singer of the band. Damien is not in the market for a relationship, especially one with a woman who is already taken, he has been burned before and has learned his lesson however, he cannot deny the attraction he feels. This was a really enjoyable book, I got so mad at Elijah and the way he treated Cadence that I was practically shouting at my Kindle. I really wish this book had included him getting his comeuppance rather than seemingly being able to walk away without consequence, but hopefully, future books will revisit some of these storylines. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series.

This has to be one of the funniest romances I have read in a while! The entire book is filled with humor, but sizzling heat between Drew and Katie. The whole mascot idea was hysterical. I think my favorite part of the book was the way these characters actually met. It was a quick read and I didn’t want to put it down. It is a novella, but not having read the other Playmakers books, I felt like I didn’t miss out on anything, but I will definitely be adding all other Playmakers books to my list!

I have never met a more relatable character than Blakley. I too binge watch Greys Anatomy and indulge myself in my favorite DoorDash order when I’m taking a mental day.
I really enjoyed this story. It was extremely realistic. It showed the different aspects of human relationships. We saw grief, love, betrayal and forgiveness. It wasn’t a fairy tale romance but you can feel how deep the love runs. I don’t personally have experience with a loved one seeing the horrors of war, but it seems like the author did a very good job capturing survivors guilt and ptsd.

I love a series that can be read in any order or by themselves. This is book two in the Love Ties us series but it can be a standalone novel. So if you have read the first story it is ok. I really love the playlist at the front of the books. I think they are great companions to capture the essence of the story. I loved this story, instant connection is so hard to come by but it’s so beautiful. It really is as if that person was made for you. The chemistry between Damien and Cadence jumps off of the page. I enjoyed every minute of the book.

“ABSURD,” SAID BIRD.: A mouse plans a trip to the moon was such a cute book! My girls (5 & 4) were giggling so much while reading it. They thought it was hilarious. Very easy to read and a quick one as well. Perfect for the “one last story” before bedtime.

An enjoyable sci-fi romance which had me hooked throughout. When Dr. Moira McCann’s twin sister Claire doesn’t turn up for a visit, she gets concerned. Claire’s last text came from Allenville, a small town in the North Carolina mountains, so Moira travels there to find her. Arriving in the remote county of Allenville, Moira seeks help from its Police Chief, Seth Call. He knows that being early summer its mating season in the mountains for certain vicious species, meaning that anyone who wanders off the known paths becomes prey. However, despite Seth’s instant attraction to Moira, he must keep the secrets of his town, his people and their history. Although Seth keeps the truth about Claire’s true fate from her sister, Moira starts to think there is more to the little town than the sexy, but secretive Police Chief is saying. Moira is determined to discover her sister’s fate, even if the truth is unearthly. I found the characters to be likeable and relatable and the chemistry between Moira and Seth came across. The setting came alive through the descriptive narrative making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists, element of suspense and of course the romance all kept me gripped until the last page.

Frelick – Review by Jennifer Gordon
We all grow up with fairy tales. I’ve always enjoyed works where they update the stories to more modern events and is reimagined a bit, and this book absolutely fits the bill. There is a lot happening with multiple POVs, lost loves, great fated loves, adventures and more – but it’s so well written that it’s easy to follow as you read through. Not as easy to explain when you’re trying to review without it getting jumbled. This was my first read by this author and the second book in this series, but I had no problems following and am working on the Cinderella book next!
Lily has gotten away from her mother and the tales of doom and gloom she carries when she goes away to college. The world is huge and exciting, and it’s really her first chance to experience things now that she is away on her own. In her journey, she meets George and they immediately have sparks flying – but George is stuck on a lost love and Lily is too ready to move forward after being held back by her mother for all of her life. He recognizes how drawn to Lily he is, but is scared and has to take a leap. Will he? Will Lily convince him how made for one another they are, or will she be forced to walk away from her soulmate?
Speaking of soulmates – any fated love needs a support team, right? This is where Merilee (an inexperience fairy godmother) and Zuriel (a guardian angel to another important character) come in. Merilee and Zuriel have explosive chemistry between them no matter the situation and are a lot of fun to follow with all the missteps they stumble through.
There are a lot of layers to this story and I did feel some of the scenarios could have been tied up differently for a better result, but overall I loved the rework and POVs. It wasn’t hard to follow although it was book 2 and there were several characters with a lot happening throughout the story. Cinderella’s book 1 is proving to be off to a fantastic start and I hope to find that this series grows!

This is an entertaining book for children. I found it to be quite cute. The story is told in rhymes, which is quite fun and kids like to read with adults. I read this with my granddaughter and she found it kind of cool that mouse wanted to go the moon. She’s a creative dreamer so the book hit home for her. I love the theme of dreaming. Mr. Bird finally came around. This would be a neat addition to childrens libraries.

This book has a great storyline and rhyming words. The illustrations are fantastic and well done. This book definitely demonstrates a team effort to help someone accomplish a goal. As I was reading it to my grandson before bedtime he giggled at the story and liked it. It’s a great easy read for bedtime, naptime or anytime. Definitely recommend this book.

5 Stars The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry
The Music That Ties Us is the second book in the Love Ties Us Series and holy cow what a heartfelt amazing Rockstar Romance. I was pulled in from the beginning and pretty much devoured this whole book in one sitting. I literally did nothing else until I finished. The characters are relatable, complex, raw yet realistic and developed. My emotions were all over the place with this story and my heart was happy and sad for these two. I don’t want to give anything away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m already waiting patiently for the next book in this series. I’m sure it’s going to be just as good as this one. I can’t wait.

The Sins of Men is the first book in The Peter Smith Chronicles by Danny J. Bradbury. It is a fascinating but moving historical fiction story set amid the final stages of the Seven Years’ War, that then leads into the American Revolution. We follow Peter Beale, an English 10-year-old street urchin who ends up forced into service on a British warship enroute to America. The Sins of Men gives a heart-wrenching account of the torment he endures aboard the ship, before he finally manages to escape to Boston where his new life begins when he is offered a home and taken in by a local merchant Robert Smith…. and so Peter’s adventures ensue. With action, dramatic developments, intrigue, risk, danger, overcoming, the strength of the human spirit, challenges, survival, good vs evil, revolution, action, history, and more made for an interesting read. As this was my first book by Mr. Bradbury, I really didn’t know what to expect from his storytelling, but I am glad I took a chance on this book and will definitely be continuing the chronicles- so bring on Book #2. Happy Reading…

This is the first book in the Protect and Honor Series and the first book I’ve read by this author. I was pleasantly surprised to find one of the best romantic suspense stories I’ve found this year! I definitely lost a great amount of sleep because I couldn’t put this book down. I needed to know what happened at each stage and found myself staying up later and later. I really enjoy that this book was written from multiple points of view as it helps me get even further into the character’s mind. It feels like experiencing the book rather than just being on the outside looking in. There are plenty of emotions within these pages as well with engaging drama, tragedy, heartache, and mystery all woven throughout. I like to think I can figure out the plot to a story pretty quickly, but this one had me second-guessing myself with a rollercoaster of twists and turns. I am beyond excited to get my hands on the second book in the series. If you are looking for an intriguing romantic suspense, this should be your next read!

Michaela Manning barely survives a gunshot wound during her grandfather’s assassination. Hiding from her past at her father’s behest, she assumes a new identity. As an adult, she has created a new life away from the public eye. But when her father runs for president, her true identity enters out of the shadows. Grappling with the deaths of many family members, Michaela has to learn who she can trust, including herself. The storyline is amazing! My only issue is that the characters speak too formally, giving long speeches/monologues that do not fit their personalities. The story kept me on my toes and absolutely shocked me! I cannot wait for the next installment!

This is the conclusion to a very enjoyable series. I do highly recommend reading these books in order as the progression of the story is important to understanding how this all comes together. It’s always fun to read a series in it’s entirety, but it can bring about a bittersweet ending to a family that you feel like you’ve become a part of during the time you were reading.
This story is sweet but not without drama, action, suspense, and a few deep rooted secrets. You’ll find yourself feeling like a part of this family, especially if you’ve followed them all the way through the series. I also have to mention this cover. Just look at those eyes and the scenes behind him! Both drew me into this book!

Secrets, Lies, and Betrayals is Book one in the Protect and Honor series. It is a romantic suspense full of danger, drama, action, secrets, lies, loss, mystery, trauma, betrayal, and political conspiracies. It is told from different points of view, which enables the reader to better understand each character. The story centers around the character of Michaela, or Lea, as she is now known. She has experienced a life of trauma and tragedy that started at a young age and has forced her to keep her identity a secret. It has caused Michaela to live a life where she is constantly in hiding and trying to survive against an unknown enemy for as long as she can remember. Now someone close to her has revealed her identity and she must flee because her life is in danger. An intense, fast paced and action-packed read that will keep you reading until the final page. I look forward to the second book in the series.

In this third installment of the Sparky of Bunker Hill series, Sparky is trying to clear her boss Bookie. Bookie has been framed for a murder on Monkey Island. Also, Sparky has to deal with some not-so-fun developments like volunteering with Detective Bernie and Senior Officer Mug. This book is just as adventure-packed and fun as the first two. Sparky’s spunk is on full display. This girl is such a wonderful character. I love how determined and loyal she is. Her found family and friends make for some great interactions. The backdrop of 1932 Los Angeles is rich and engaging. It’s such a fun cozy mystery.

This story starts out so funny. In a place where you could actually believe what you are reading. Meeting at a Halloween party, Drew and Katie have no interest in meeting a partner. But yet their costumes draw them together. Causing shenanigans to commence. From there the story keeps you reading as you don’t want to miss a thing. I will give no Spoilers as this is a Must read! I will tell you unexpected and unwanted romance is in the story along with Hockey.The author has once again brought forth an outstanding series. This one just adds to the fun and laughter. The story is fast paced and one of my favorites in this series. I look forward to reading more from this author.
