Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Traveling back in time and jet setting from different cities set the tone for this read. The twists and turns it goes through from the investigation itself to the impact it has on the characters, I was drawn in. This book is a must read and keeps you on your toes.
The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler
This book is intense in sexual and steamy chemistry between the characters and the sports element add to the tension. I love how their banter kept the intrigue going and excitement going. Beautiful story!
The Silent Road by S.N. McKibben
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was a genuine surprise and I’m happy I took the time to read it. Had me hooked on the character chemistry, surprising turns and you’ll be happy you read this book. Great read!
Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved that this book was and is a wild ride that I just had to read twice. It read like a movie. That I did love plus the characters were so well developed. I loved rooting for the sheriff to catch these bad guys and she was a woman! This book was fun, thrilling and suspenseful. For it to take all those turns and twists, it sent me! Trust me when I say this is a great read!
Chatroom with a View by Glenn Maynard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a chilling yet suspenseful read that kept me on the edge of my seat. I love murder mysteries, suspense, thrillers and all things true crime. As a suspense fan of all, this one kept me on my toes! I love that it added a much needed mental health esthetic to it as well because this conversation has to be held. So, overall pretty great read from all aspects.
Arrrgh! Me HATE To Wait! by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl
My two sons enjoyed this reading. I couldn’t tell which son loved it more. As I read the voice of the piggy, my baby son would crack up the oldest would follow. Both enjoyed learning about patience through the pig and the story. Plus the illustrations made my son mimic him. My youngest son reminds me of this little piggy in the story. So, we all learned something especially him. Thanks for the read and the story with the lessons.
True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved reading this as an adult and as a parent. My 7-year old son could definitely relate to Landry even though he’s just in 2nd grade. He learned a lot about his personality, being accepted (or not), FOMO, and what it’s like to be true to himself. As an adult raising my kids alone, it taught me how to point him in the right direction and away from frenemies. Great work to the author, Ms. Lindsay Hager!

The Muffin Shop Murder: A Delilah Crumbworthy Mystery by Holly Tierney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was easy to follow and intriguing to say the least. I was excited about the murder mystery itself but the further you read, the more you get caught up in the lives of the characters, how the business is going and Snowflake Valley itself. This is not only a cozy mystery but very entertaining and fun!
Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
As a bee lover, I can truly appreciate this book for sharing so much useful information. I mean, the way the author made it was a clever read for me as an adult and easy for kids to understand as well. I’m beyond impressed with what and how my son was able to pick up on the importance. The characters were easy to love and understand as well. My 7 and 3 year old boys enjoyed this story as much as I did and I’m 35, LOL! Great read for the family to enjoy.
Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I definitely found this book relatable. As a healthcare worker, you can never deal with grief the same as when you work in the field before or after quite the same as before choosing this profession. Also being from New Orleans, I found a personal sense of connection to the book even more so which is why I started reading it in the first place. It makes it that more familiar and more interesting to me to feel a strong connection. But besides the obvious connections, the storyline of these two’s story of departing onto foreign waters test their union in matters of life or death.
Another reason I loved this is because I went through something similar during coronavirus and my love life at the time but it was less theatrical than this book. But this book is a tale you’d never forget. It takes you down a rabbit hole of emotions. I absolutely enjoyed this. Great read!!!!
A Dowry of Snails and Mud by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just love how these characters are total opposite and not in the way we’re used to in a genre like this. The female isn’t your normal damsel in distress as she knows the lay of the land, literally. The fact that it’s not your normal “fairy tale” makes this an interesting story to keep up with. I don’t want to give too much away but it’s the best story I’ve read in a minute as it kept you guessing but in unexpected ways.

Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is a beautiful book because it tugs at your emotional well-being while taking you on a ride with the characters you feel apart of. You’re torn between fighting how you feel (drawn from the characters and both their sides) or to wish and overcome all of it for a risk at love or more. But it’s not as easy as you’d think. This is only the beginning and I’m down to go down the rabbit hole to see where this leads.
Amaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For a kid’s book, I found it inspiring and as a kid’s book, that’s downright surprising. I not only enjoyed the characters but admired Amaleigha the most! Her personality rang true for a lively 5-yea-old and entertained me and my kids upon reading this to them. My 7-yr-old is still acting like her at home and at school: don’t judge me, LOL but it’s so funny.
Witty, funny and downright informative: she reminds me to keep the inner child in me alive and kicking!
I Love You Today by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is unexpectedly beautifully written and the characters are so well-rounded that it makes you feel like a part of the story. It’s a great read and will fill your heart with emotions you never knew you had. I’m gonna recommend you read this if you’ve ever been through something similar and can find insight on how to bounce back. Enjoy!
Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What makes these books so entertaining for me is the way that the steamy chemistry starts off slow. It’s also steamy that you can feel it as you read each word and as it builds more, it makes you excited for the characters and their intensifying adventures or ways to keep them going. This is a sensational read. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
A Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is unexpectedly beautiful and makes for a very inspirational read. This book taught me some lessons that I’m still learning in the outside world: how to show up for myself outside of others. The sense of Christmas made this book that much more pure and beautiful to keep close to your heart. So touching. Great read!
Better Gnomes and Gardens by Misty Bane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a very interesting read and fun to get through with the characters to the storyline. I enjoyed where it took the reader and how it all came together in the end. Enjoy!
Dream-Shifter by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My kids enjoyed me reading this story. They enjoyed the transformation of the human to animals and back. It was fun. I enjoyed it with them as well. Great book to enjoy around this time.
Cooked: The Chef Blows Her Lid by Cari Schaeffer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed everything about this book from the characters, the funny dialogue and how enjoyable it was to read but most of all, I related to Olivia. She’s a lovable character who I can see parts of myself in. Great read!
Into the Light by Kate McWilliams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this as a standalone because I didn’t know there were other books prior to reading the references within. I’m starting to read the others since I had to catch up and not be in the loop. But this book itself was so beautifully written, I fell in love with the characters, and I absolutely loved the story! I don’t wanna give it away but it was well worth the read and hopefully the others are as well.
Moby Plays the Flute by Eeha Bhatt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My 7-year-old son and I enjoyed this book. It taught him the same things I’ve always preached about hard work, determination, patience and my son loved how it all came together in the end to work out in Moby’s favor! He and my 2-year-old son also enjoyed the pictures. Parents, this book, is worth the read!
I Loved You Yesterday: Book One in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This one definitely tugged at my heart strings. So beautifully written and easily readable. The characters definitely made this book worth the read as their stories brought you through it. One of the most entertaining romances I’ve read recently.
Hungry Business by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I like how it’s not written how you’d think it should be but worth the read. I don’t usually take to short stories but this one was worth the read. I like how it was different another time. Also, zombies aren’t usually my thing but I tolerated them for this short read, LOL. The way the author wrote this was cute and intriguing so kudos, I liked!
Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Right now, I’m reading so many books but this one made me put the others down. I have a sweet spot for poetry and musicals or music, in general. This book reminded me why I’m a writer (when I have time) because it made you feel raw and intense emotions you’d never thought of or dreamed of. Big thanks to author for taking me to a place I can only imagine to reach as an author! Great work!
Break The Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book scared me but in a good way because you never knew where it was gonna take you. You’re ready for where you’re going but you know it’s gonna be something good.
You’re about to enter a world you’ll never forget. Full of action, great characters. This book will not only entertain you but will be easy to read.
Read the description for yourself to see what I mean. Bet you won’t regret it!
Fractured World: Courage in the Apocalypse Collection by Maira Dawn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Let me start off by saying, I usually don’t like post-apocalyptic dystopian tales but I’m starting to like them more and more. This book is one of the reasons why. The author captured my attention because their heart is in the right place for getting their work out their and for a cause I can support.
That being said, let me dive into the review: These stories take you to another place, somewhere easily imagined with the descriptions provided, it hits a lot of places when you’re reading where you never imagined to go but keeps the human aspect in perspective. I loved how easily it was to take us to another place. It’s entertaining, fun to read, and realistic (at least to me) but full of action and suspense as well. You’ll enjoy this one just like I did.
