My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve come to truly adore Maria DeBlassie. The more of her writing I’m blessed with reading, the truer my adoration becomes! She radiates such a magical vibe even through black & white, typed up words on paper, & this actually magical book is that much more amazing simply because of who wrote it. I felt seen, heard, & understood from the 1st words on the 1st page. This book is exactly what my soul has been craving for most of my life, & I just can’t be thankful enough for the gift she’s given to me & my daughters & the world. Magical Living will definitely be passed down to & through my children. Please soak in this book like a bubble bath of self care & enjoy the changes it will bring to your life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As with all Amaleigha books, this one is full of hope and kindness. These stories are adorable and compassionate, and inspire change in the sweetest ways. This one in particular was wonderful because there are Little Free Libraries all over our neighborhood, & that recognition was very exciting for us. One of my lifelong favorite poems was also included after the “how to” section as well, so that was delightful! My family has really come to love Amaleigha, & my older daughters even “want to be friends with her” =) I would definitely recommend this book & series to other families with children who want to make a difference.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is beautiful & full of love! Amazing representation as well, which is great for my biracial children to see. One of the sweetest stories I’ve ever read, the flow is gentle, & the sentiment is deeply relatable. This has quickly joined our regular rotation & we are so happy to have discovered it!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Love the idea! I do wish it had been a bit more filled out, as it left my kids with some confusion. However, this is a fun book. Having a grandparent as a main character is lovely, & the relationship is sweet. Love the name choice of Caspian. A lot of imagination & creativity went into this original & unique little story!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is incredibly thought provoking. The premise sparks a lot of questions & really makes you wonder. It seems more informative than fictional, like it could almost be a documentary. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the storyline became more than just a storyline & spread into real life. Definitely left me pondering possibilities.

We’re new to this series, & this cute little book has made us want to read the rest. It’s short & sweet & inclusive! I read it to my 4 year old 1st, & when he asked to read it again as soon as we finished, my 5 year old caught interest & she loved it too. They had so much fun answering the questions with different silly answers! We can’t wait to read it again!

Painter of the Damned (Painted Souls, #2)Painter of the Damned by Rob Samborn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nick and Julia O’Conner are on the run trying to return home to the United States to put an end to the hell of a vacation that they have experienced: murder, arrest, fights, running from the cops. The O’Conner’s were just about to reach the American consulate when the two are arrested and taken into custody. Julia is released from custody and gets to follow along as Nick is transferred back to Venice where he is detained for murder. Nick tells Julia to go find Carlo, their friend in Venice, and have him help to find an attorney for Nick. Little do they know that Carlo is the new Painter for the Order and warden of the dammed spirits that reside in the painting Paradise. We get flashbacks of Nick’s previous life and find out that he may or may not know the location of a book lost that can bring about world-changing power. Will della Porta find be able to use Nick to find the book? Does Nick remember where the book is? Should Julia just return to the States by herself and not believe this nonsense that her husband speaks of? Read the book because I give no spoilers into the outcome! It is a great read full of thrills and mystery and mayhem! The characters are wonderfully written and I find myself able to quickly fall into step with them and experience what they are. This book had me on the edge of my seat and I highly recommend that one reads it!
