I read Beast in one day. I kept telling myself ok one more chapter then I’m going to stop. Next thing I know it’s 2 am and I’ve finished the book. What I enjoyed most about this story is that Adrik’s past was revealed in little pieces. It kept me reading. When the whole story of his childhood was revealed my heart hurt for him. Annika is such a treasure. I enjoyed her character a lot. She’s had her fair share of trauma but she’s strong. It was like their lives led them to each other. This was a good read worth the lack of sleep.

This book is the second book in the Second Chance series by this author, but can be read alone. Mary and Brad used to be friends. They grew apart over the years and recently reconnect, thanks to a mutual friend. Mary was looking for love after ending a long-term relationship. Brad hadn’t yet found someone to share his life. Can they forget a painful and embarrassing experience from high school and find love with one another as adults? I like Mary’s character. I find her to be believable and relatable. I don’t care for Brad’s character as much. He seems superficial to me. Overall, I enjoyed this book and look forward to more stories from this author.

Words have escaped me when it comes to this book! I love the underlying message of the book, that everyone has magic inside of them, but not the kind of magic one would think! This is such an important book to read to little ones, it will instill self confidence in them from an early age. The illustrations were also beautifully done, and I loved how they were inclusive of many different ethnicities and cultural groups in them. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has children!

Amaleigha loves everything about nature, playing outside, exploring the wonderful world around her- even the tiniest parts (insects), and watching the seasons change. There are many things that I adore about this book! First, let’s start with the fact that I was Amaleigha… Growing up, I was always playing outside, going on adventures, and building things out of items I found outside. Secondly, I love the rich vocabulary that is used throughout the book. As a teacher, I could think of many ELA lessons that could be tied to this book. As a school librarian, I loved the detailed illustrations created by Alina Kralia. Kralia’s detailed illustrations ensure that children can see the wonderful world of nature that Amaleigha loves. Readers can see the changes in seasons throughout the book as they explore the world with Amaleigha. The thing that I love most is the message that even though you are young, you can still do great things like Amaleigha.
This is a delightful book for any nature lover, it makes me just want to get outside right now and explore! I think this book would be fantastic to share while on an adventure with your little one. Take a blanket and Amaleigha’s Big Idea outside to enjoy, then go on a mini adventure of your own. Build a love of nature and books within your child! 🙂
I would give this book more stars if I could because I absolutely loved it!

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2) by Jane Suen
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Reckless Heart is the second book in the Second Chance Romance Series. Reckless Heart is a great read. The author knows how to build words.
Mary has broken up with her long term boyfriend. Right before her sister’s wedding. Now she’s single and her old high school crush is back in town. Can they hash out the past and move forward with the future? The quote I chose for Mary is: “You’re planning to expand?”
Brad is back in town for Katie’s wedding. He doesn’t plan on sticking around for long. Then a friend sets him up with the one who broke his heart. Can he get past that and everything else that has happened? The quote I chose for Brad is: “Kell? She’s long gone. Kell almost broke me, pulling a stunt behind my back. She was ruthless, aggressive, and greedy, and became a competitor who’d do anything to get an edge on a business she was secretly setting up. And that’s what she did. Double-crossed me. In hindsight, it was a hard lesson. I’d trusted her again, but I learned from it, and in the end, I became a better person, and the business is in a better place.”
I was so glad that I picked up this book by C. B. Samet. I can’t wait to read the other two books that go with Raine Down. The author put both action and love story all in one with this one. I like how the author pulled me into this story from the beginning. I hope the next book has the story of Will and Raine in it as well as the other characters so I can see where this story is going to go. I love the take this author has on Norse Mythology and how it is written. I will definitely be picking up the other stories by this author.

Revenge Never Rests (Tallie Brown Suspense Book 2) by Laurie Lewis. I loved this book just like I loved the first one. I do recommend reading the first book before this one to better understand what is happening. Its the story of Tallie Brown who is strong and independent but when she sets out to help many people who have been kidnapped or drugged she realizes she may be in over her head. With Tallie realizing she could have had a whole different life if circumstances were different in her past is hard for her to swallow. Fast paced, full of action, crime, kidnapping and intrigue keeps you flipping pages late in the night. You will root for Tallie all through this book and the adventure it takes you on is fast paced and very interesting. Do yourself a favor and read the Tallie Brown Series today!

Another great open ended book for children. One I can honestly say kids will love. Caspian sees a kitten stuck in a tree. Using his gifts from his grandfather, he is on the rescue. This author has children in mind when she writes her stories. She encourages the children to interact with the story as well. I have recommended this to many of my grandchildren and they LOVED it too.
This was a quick read and enjoyable – it was my airplane read this last weekend. I enjoyed the characters and thier connection with each other. Austin leaves his broken heart behind and moves to Chicago for a new job. While there, he finds new love in Casey – a friend from the past. They will have to learn to grow together… but they are really good for each other. This is a second book in a trilogy – I didn’t read book one, but wished I had. I think the story of Austin would have been more meaningful to me if I had.

Well, this book was just what I needed! “Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living is an inspirational, self-help guide to opening up your own magic. I am formally of the Pagan faith, meaning I have not practiced in some time. However, lately a lot of my life has been leading me back to this way of thinking, believing, and living. I haven’t quite dived fully back in, but as I was pondering my next moves in life, this was the book I happened to stumble upon. The author says, that there is no coincidence that I was reading this book and I believe her. Now, I have read many of these types of books, but this one seemed a little different. One, I like how she gave background and explained the perspective that she is coming from. She makes it clear the message, but also allows you space for your own pagan awakening. Two, I love an author who gets personal with you. She provides her story about how she rediscovers the magic in her life. Her story was very relatable as I was reading, but I also realized I have already made many of the changes she speaks of having to do to heal. She provides a guide of where to start, what to look for, and that it is hard work, not only to recognize and wake up the magic within us, but to maintain that magic. Last, but not least, she discusses very easy ways to rid “toxins” from your life, making a routine to allow yourself time to enjoy life, and most importantly the importance of self-care. I was happy after reading that I am on a “cleansing” path and I hope to continue to awaken the magic within myself, and find the enjoyable ways that life is supposed to present us.

This is an entertaining book! I was hooked right away by the humor and the witty playful banter between the two characters. Tenley and Teagen have very opposite opinions when it comes to love. They both have podcasts on the subject. When Teagen inadvertently invites Tenley on a romantic retreat in Hawaii, things don’t go as planned for either one of them. Their story is fun and entertaining, and the author tells a wonderful story. While the story is centered around the Christmas holiday, I recommend it for anytime of the year!

Caspian uses his magic socks from his grandpa to help keep a sneaky little kitten safe – safe from being in a tree, on a log in a river. When they go back to the tree where the Frisbee is, the kitten jumps on the Frisbee and a bubble grows around it. The kitten zooms around on his little Frisbee ship. Caspian is sad that he didn’t get to play with the Frisbee or rescue the kitten. Grandpa points out that the day was fun anyway – and that is what matters.
Caspian is out with his Grandpa when he sees what he believes is a frisbee. His Grandpa encourage him to put on hi Hot Chocolate socks to get the frisbee out of the tree where he ends up finding an adventurous kitten who has a zest for finding danger.
Really cute story. The animation is beautiful in this book. Kitten is precocious and I think children would be laughing at this one while reading it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming second chance at love sweet romance. I was kept happily turning the pages of this standalone story, which had me hooked throughout. Mary had a secret crush on Brad when they were younger, but thinking he wasn’t interested in her, she ended up dating Brad’s friend Jim. Meanwhile, Brad left his hometown after he graduated, as he didn’t want to see his friend and the girl he had a crush on together. Having put his past regrets, of not confessing his feelings to Mary, behind him, he’s worked hard building his construction business into a success, but he’s forced to return home for his sister’s wedding. His plan is to get through the weekend and then leave, but then he meets Mary again, and she’s newly single and ready to date. Mary is surprised to come face to face with her school crush, but instead of a shy lanky boy, Brad is now a gorgeous confident man, it’s just a shame he seems hesitant to get to know her again. When a matchmaking friend gets involved, Brad and Mary are forced to face the painful misunderstandings that cost them a relationship during their teenage years. I love Brad and Mary’s characters, as they are both likeable and relatable, and their chemistry really came across in the narrative. I was cheering the couple on hoping they would get their second chance at romance and a well deserved HEA!

This is one author I always enjoy reading new things from as she always seems to create sweet and interesting stories. I enjoyed this first book in this series and I was glad to see this book met my expectations. I enjoyed the characters in this book. It was nice to see their development and watch them reconnect after so many years. The book itself was a little well written and exactly in the style I have come to expect from this author. It was a steady pace, a little slow at times, but with an engaging story overall. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I have read a lot of Dark Mafia romances, but I loved this one. It wasn’t what I normally read, but it kept my interest and kept me wanting more. I just finished the first book, and can’t wait to get started on the 2nd one in this series. Chase and Katarina are characters that you will want to get to know. This was the first book that I read from this author, and I hope she has some similar books to read after I finish this series!

This book is a brilliant continuation of the story and a great way to conclude the series. I read the books a little out of order, reading this one first before going back to read the others. I would recommend reading them in order as I think you will get more enjoyment out of reading them however, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the characters in this story and how it was told from more than one perspective. I think that added so much to the book and created a better story. I thought the storyline was really interesting. It was easy to engage with, even if you started with this book, and exciting from start to finish. I really enjoyed reading this story and look forward to more of this authors work.

Ahhhhhh! These two, Mary and Brad, drove me crazy. Seriously. They still have residual feelings from when they were in high school but each harbor hurt, anger or resentment about one incident that has colored everything since. BUT, neither want to talk about their feelings. Ugh!!!
This sweet romance of first love getting a second chance is good. The story is relatable and the characters are real. I just wanted to shake them both at different times and scream for them to talk to one another!! Like when Brad got all in his feelings when Mary asked if a family was in his future. I don’t believe she was trying to hurt him. I believe Mary was genuinely curious if that was something wanted in or for his future. *sigh* I was totally in favor of the way Laurie got Mary to the hospital.
To make the rock formation perfect, Mary needs to carve her and Brad’s initials, just like the original!!

Mary and Brad were friends in high school, but they always wanted more of that from each other, but life and bad decisions made them fall apart. After 10 years and a couple of weddings they are reunited by a friend in common.
Both had a lot to say to each other but not the mental force to do so, but as the story develops they would find someone new in each other and a new opportunity to be something more than friends.

This is a beautiful second chance romance. It is a short read and I read it in one sitting. The author’s writing really draws you in. The characters are so likeable and relatable that you just know this had happened to someone somewhere and it makes the story even more realistic. It’s a heartwarming story about young lost love, heartbreak and finding the strength to take a chance on a love that was lost in the past.
In this story we read about Mary and Brad. In their teenage years they had an attraction and spark but Brad’s shyness lead him to be too scared to let Mary know how he felt and he lost her when she started to date his friend. Fast forward and things have definately changed. Brad is now a confident and successful man. He returns to his home town to attend Mary’s sister’s wedding. All he wants is to leave without the risk of losing his heart all over again.
Another big change is that Mary is single and finding her way in the world on her own. When she meets Brad again there is no denying that the attraction and feelings are still there. The question is will they be prepared to take a chance on each other this time, or will the pain and misunderstandings of the past stop them from finding a future?

I enjoyed reading this mystery. This is a shorter story that packs a lot of mystery. This is my first book by this author which I look forward to reading more from in the future. This is a story that takes place during the 1900s. Daniel is looking into a mystery in his spare time until a second murder happens. Now he is wondering if they are both connected. He is a great character, strong and kept the story engaging. He brought so much to the story. This is a fast paced story that is both entertaining and easy to read. I read this book in one sitting and enjoyed the twists and turns. You don’t want to miss what happens in this story. I highly recommend this book.

This is a beautifully written piece, regardless of your religious views. This book reminds us that there are bits of magic in everything. It goes on to explain how magic is so much more than what movies and stories show, and is something everyone may be doing without even realizing it! It delves a bit into the psyche of your mind and how you can use your wisdom to make things happen. And that can be magic! Maria DeBlassie shows practical examples and her lived life experiences to show and teach us more about everyday magic. I whole heartedly recommend for anyone wanting to see more of themselves and look for the enchantment hidden in our everyday lives!

The Sneaky Kitten by Lois Wickstrom is a cute book with a twist. You can tell that creativity and imagination were used when writing this book. I originally thought this book was going to be more about a kitten from space causing mischief on Earth. I was pleasantly surprised to see this book was more about Caspian helping the kitten after it gets into many challenging situations. The Sneaky Kitten is the perfect book for any cat lover or child who loves to use their imagination. Cuddle up with some cocoa and read this book today! You’ll thank me later for recommending the cocoa! 🙂

This is the second installment in the Second Chance Romance Series by Jane Suen, though it can be read as a standalone book. Mary and Brad, whom we met previously in book one, share their story of heartache, misunderstandings, love, and past humiliation. It’s been ten long years since these two childhood friends have talked or seen one another when one of their friends arranges for them to run into each other. Can they overcome the heartache of the past and the feelings that were never divulged in order to be friends or more? Are second chances really possible? Will the old feelings that resurface overshadow the pain, humiliation, and heartache of the past? Will Laurie continue her plotting and matchmaking schemes? She is truly an amazing character and friend in this series. Jane Suen has written a beautiful, clean, feel good, story of love with heartwarming characters. I’m enjoying this series and hope to read more by this talented author.

Parents always want only the best for their children. If I had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi is a heartwarming book about parents’ wishes, dreams, and hopes for their children. Lavi’s book captures the beautiful bond between parent and child. The illustrations by Ela Ward are simply enchanting and add a whimsical flair to the story. If I had a Magic Wand would be the perfect gift for a baby shower or to add to your child’s library! I look forward to reading this book to my own children as a bedtime story one day.

This is a super cute story. It can be enjoyed by both little kids and adults. It shows how with a little work big things can happen. I think this a lesson that everyone needs to be reminded of every now and then. The amazing illustrations in this book really help showcase the authors words. This book also touches on being seen as weird to others because the main character is wrapped up in what she loves. It shows that just because people don’t see things the same way doesn’t mean that everyone can’t enjoy them. Amaleigha wants to share her love for the outdoors with the world and her big thinking can help get that accomplished. This is a super cute short read that has some valuable life lessons that everyone can relate to. I highly recommend reading this book to yourself and your kids.
