Alchemy of GlassAlchemy of Glass by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alchemy of Glass is a slow burn continuation of The Apothecary’s Curse( the first book) just like the first. This book is a compelling blend of historical fiction and fantasy. It also excels in creating an immersive setting, filled with rich details and a perfectly woven journey over different time periods. Barnett’s writing is engaging, and her characters are well-developed. It offers a unique and atmospheric read with its detailed historical backdrop and intriguing plot twists, though it may appeal more to fans of historical fiction with a touch of fantasy rather than pure fantasy enthusiasts. Either way I still suggest you read it. It will not disappoint with its unique storyline. I look forward to more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My littles old always look forward to reading about a Porter and Midge adventure and so am I. These books always find a way to combine educational content with fun interactive elements. The book is visually appealing, with colorful illustrations that capture the fun and creativity involved in baking. The recipes are simple, kid-friendly, and come with easy-to-follow instructions, making it a great tool for introducing children to cooking and responsible pet care.
We definitely can’t wait to try some of these ideas for the dog treats with our doggo. I can’t wait to see more from this series and author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Checking out this author Kristin Ward for the first time and I gotta say I was impressed not only did this book’s cover fascinate me but the idea was a unique mix of the three sounded like I needed to read it now to see what happens. Even though I’m older than YA, I found it a captivating book. The book weaves a richly detailed fantasy world that is both immersive and original. Ward’s descriptive writing vividly brings the mysterious and dark forest to life, creating a setting that feels both enchanting and foreboding.The plot is well-paced, with a blend of suspense, magical elements, and character development that keeps the reader hooked. The author effectively balances action with moments of introspection. I look forward to reading more from the author .

Back in the Ring: Alternate Cover (The Predator Series)Back in the Ring: Alternate Cover by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Back in the Ring is the fourth electrifying installment in The Predator Series. This book delivers a gripping blend of intense action, compelling characters, and a well-crafted plot. Im telling you it’s always a pleasure reading work from this author. The writing is sharp and dynamic, capturing the raw energy of the fights and the personal struggles of the characters with equal skill. The fight scenes are particularly well-executed. That mixed in with Bijou and Noahs character development and their romantic drama add depth to the story, making it more than just a series of high-octane battles. I can’t wait to read the next book. I highly recommend reading this series if you haven’t already.

Having read a book by this author before.I was super excited to pick up another.One we read this one tonight before bedtime. I had one of the Littles read it, and it flowed perfectly. The artwork was adorable and kept the Littles engaged. I also really enjoyed this book. The littlest one is learning to read and has just started walking around finding letters and sounding them out so it’s kinda perfect for the times he gets frustrated and needs a reminder that it takes time. I look forward to reading more from this author.

First time reader of this author Barbara Barnett. I found the cover very intriguing. I had to give it a go. Although historical reads aren’t my top fave, this book had so much more than just that. It also has romance, fantasy,and mystery. I was happy I started reading this story.Barnett’s strength lies in her detailed and immersive world-building. The historical setting is meticulously researched, creating a vivid and authentic atmosphere. The characters are well-developed, particularly the protagonist, whose internal struggles and moral dilemmas add depth to the narrative. The dialogue is sharp, and the interplay between the historical and fantastical elements is handled with skill.i cant wait to check out more of this author and more of this world.

Glass HousesGlass Houses by Sinister Styx

This is my first time reading a book by Sinister Styx, so I don’t really know what to expect but I was super excited to read this story. This is an extremely short read but that did not take away from the quality of it. It should not take you no more than an hour to get read. As for the story, dark romances are one of my favorite genres so after seeing this and then reading the synopsis I dove in and loved it. You know you just want that feeling you wanna read but don’t wanna be tied down for long. Well this is the perfect fit for you. The author is really talented if in such a short read made me feel so many emotions alongside Ivy and Falcon. I will definitely check out more of this author’s work.

The End of Try Try Again: Overcome Your Weight Loss and Exercise Struggles for GoodThe End of Try Try Again: Overcome Your Weight Loss and Exercise Struggles for Good by Kristen Carter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is like perfect timing finding this self help book about Weight Loss and Exercise. I have a goal for weight loss next year for myself and for a family trip. After reading this quick but information filled book. I have a better understanding of what needs to be done to rework my habits and lifestyle. The author was 100 % right when she said that the key is re-adjusting your thinking. I definitely have a lot of work to do mentally and physically and this book has helped me immensely. One of the parts of this book that I need to remember is that taking small steps is important, and not a bad thing. I also would look to get this author’s other book, the Action Workbook. I think it will go well with this to help you along your journey.
