This is my first Time picking up a book by this Author Cori Cooper. What made me want to give it a try was the cover. It’s equally beautiful and mysterious. I couldn’t wait to start this YA fantasy.

The Big Book of Booper SnootsThe Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the cutest ABC’s book. The author Suzanna Lynn did such an amazing job with this book. The littles had so much fun reading this tonight. They really enjoyed trying to guess whose snoot it was. They even got a lot right woot woot lol. I loved all the information that the author provided and also the weird facts that were included. This ABC book is perfect for animal lovers, which we are( wild kratts household lol). Not going to lie i also enjoyed this book too because i learn some stuff i didn’t know before like; sloths can fall 100 ft without becoming injured 😲and that a group of zebras are called a zeal. If you haven’t gotten this yet i highly suggest you do!!!! I look forward to more from Suzanna Lynn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So i have yet to read the Crown of Stones series but after reading this one i am no doubt going to go get all the books in the series and add them to my tbr pile. After seeing the cover I just knew it would be a fantastic fantasy world I had to go dive right into. It looked that good lmao then paired with the synopsis I knew I was right. I made quick work of it and I’m kinda mad, because I was enjoying this brilliant world the author has created with amazing characters you’ll love( what amazing storytelling) . I’m also kinda glad i started with this one though, that way when i’m reading the rest of the series i can have the backstory. I can’t wait to dive back in. I’m going to read the first one now. If you read it I highly suggest you do!!

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m telling you C.A King has to be one of the most uniquely talented writers i’ve ever seen. I have read some of this author’s other books ( which are crazy awesome, definitely check them out) but i was a little reluctant to read this one, but i just decided to jump in and omg i’m so glad i did idk why i waited so long. I should have known it wasn’t going to be anything less than awesome. It had just the right amount of horror for me. This is a what if story with twists and turns, that really make me think my fear of the ocean is justified lmao. But I totally look forward to reading the next books! I also look forward to reading more stories from C.A King

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just like the book Unicorns don’t do that, the Dinopotamus is such a fun and unique character. I love love love that the author drew the artwork for this book and that she was inclusive with the other characters she drew. Everyone has representation in the book. I love it. Dinopotamus just wants to do everything the kids do and he does it in his own way half the time lol. Another great read from author Lois Wickstrom. Look forward to reading more.

Productivity is Power 2: For Creative, Business, and Other ProfessionalsProductivity is Power 2: For Creative, Business, and Other Professionals by Hillary Rettig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first Time checking out work from this author Hillary Rettig. I was super glad I did. It may seem on the longer side but it is definitely worth it. This book has a lot of knowledgeable advice and awesome tips. There’s about 24 exercises throughout the whole book and every one of them is equally great to work on. Also the techniques in Part III are extremely helpful and consistently trying them out. A couple of chapters I really need to practice more than the others are ;Scheduling and Tracking Your Time, The Perils of Overgiving, and Knowing Thyself and Thy Motivations . Lmao I’m a work in progress and this is definitely helping me take the steps in the right direction. I highly recommend this book and if you haven’t gotten it I suggest you do🥰 I look forward to reading this author’s other works.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first time reading Dagmara Sitek. I’m sooo happy I did. It has great artwork, the colors really contrast perfectly together and the visual of the main characters’ feelings was excellently done. This book was a great match for tonight’s read as my nephew was in foster care. It was a good representation to show him that he wasn’t alone and not to hold his emotions in, and that it’s okay to let people in. you could he that he was really intrigued while we were reading I look forward to reading more work from this author 😀

Just Ducky (Weird Shifters)Just Ducky by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I swear if you want to read some out of the box unique paranormal books C.A. king is the author to read. This is not the first book I have read by this author and I knew when I saw the cover I just had to pick it up. I just knew I’d be in for a crazy wonderful ride and I was right this book was filled with you know the usual vampires, wolves, etc., but also the not so usual never seen before shifters (at least in none of the books I’ve ever read). It also has action, adventure, danger, romance, forced proximity and fantasy. This is the second book of the Weird Shifters Series. The first being Happy Hump Day which I know have to go read 🥰 I can’t wait to read more of the authors work. If you haven’t Already read it, get it now. I mean have you ever read a book about a DUCK Shifter, probably not. 🥰 you won’t regret It.

Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Hannah Porter

Under the BandageUnder the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay first off I love the facts and tidbits the author puts on the pages. Most of them I never knew but now I do lmao so I’d say this book is good for all ages. I read this with my little one tonight, so hopefully after seeing this he’ll leave his bandages alone after a boo boo. This book was a great read, super fun and informative (which is awesome) about the bodies healing process after an accident, in a cool graphic way but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the talented author Lois Wickstrom. I look forward to seeing more work from this author 🥰🥰

Can I Keep Her?Can I Keep Her? by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading Can I keep her by Lois Wickstrom, I’ve been hit with a touch of nostalgia. The artwork reminds me of the books we used to read in the 90s /00s, I love it 😀. As we’re reading this my little one asked if we could get a pet dragon🤣 I gotta say it’s a good thing they aren’t real cause I would TOTALLY get one! And tbh we younger folks should be advisors in the real world, they aren’t stuck in their ways and often think outside the box. This was a great story enjoyed by all ages. Can’t wait to read more !

A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell Series Book 5) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Hannah Porter

A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell #5)A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ohhh nooo this is the fifth and last book of the Life is Hell Series, now i gotta find another book by her lol. It’s very bittersweet. I’ve really enjoyed reading this whole series and I’m not ready for the end, but I couldn’t wait to read Jezebel and Hadassah’s story. Love coming back to Juniper lakes and all its paranormal goodness or badness they’d say lol. This is a f/f enemies to lovers trope with fallen angels, necromancer ,demons and much more. It’s funny and action packed with a kidnapping. I think it became my favorite one. If you have read this or the other, I highly suggest you go and read the whole series. It’s that good. Thank you for another great series, Naomi Valkyrie!

Kris & The Cowboys (The Adventures of Kris) by Art Blegen – Review by Hannah Porter

Kris & The Cowboys: The Adventures of KrisKris & The Cowboys: The Adventures of Kris by Art Blegen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We were excited for this release, we couldn’t wait to start reading it. We were new to this author, Art Blegen, but the little ones and I really enjoyed reading about the different adventures that Kris goes on. Just like the other ones they are chapter books that are quick, fun, and easy to read. We read ours during our reading time, took us like three days ( but probably will take less time for you. We read a certain amount each day) 😀 only about 14 chapters in all. Art Blegen storytelling is super creative and amazingly captivating. In this one Kris visits her Uncle Buddy at his ranch. Where she learns new talents, and goes on an adventure where she meets new friends and new dangers.
We Cannot wait until the next book Kris and the Astronauts is released!!

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book of the WaterFyre Rising Series. Having read the previous books, this release was much anticipated. Nadia Han is like an insanely talented author. With every book I read by her gets better and better, truly captivating. Arrow and Vivian’s story has romance ,suspense,action,forced proximity, intense chemistry, mystery, passion, trauma and so so much more in it. I was so happy that we finally got to see them get their story. I highly recommend reading this one and this series, but be warned be ready to binge read this whole series 🤣 i can’t wait for Protégé: An Opposites Attract Romance to come out in October and the next book after that the Maverick.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the three books in the Echo Series, I was super thrilled For the release of the prequel of those books. It has Urgent touches,Healing love indeed man oh man, their chemistry was coming off the pages. I was so excited to see how Amanda Garner and Gene Rowland got together and their background of how they got to where we see them throughout the series. C.R Alam really does it again. She has a knack for writing romance in a way that will make you not wanna put her books down. She makes you feel the intense feeling that the characters express and it’s awesome. I would love to see more matches from this small town of love (lol) in Gainesville, Georgia. Fingers cross we get more.i will also recommend that after you read this, go read the rest of the series 🥰

I’m so glad to have found this author. This is my time reading James Williamson’s work, but definitely not the last. The Artwork was beautifully made, had very vivid colors and was super eye-catching. My little one loved it. He was interested In seeing all the different pb and j styles, and seeing all the different types of creatures who were enjoying them. His favorite peanut butter sandwich is to add bananas to it. The little monkey in the suit is fun and adorable lol I will be 100 percent checking out more stories by this awesome author 🥰

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate #10)Master Oradea by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wooowza book ten already!! I couldn’t wait to escape back into the world! With new and old friends I was ready for this next adventure. You would think since this being the 10th book the series it would lose some of its lackluster ,but NOPE. Sylvia Black just keeps knocking it out of the park each book she writes. Each one being just as compelling then the last, if not more. This one follows Natalia and Master Oradea (who are my new favorite 🤣i think i say that about every new book/couple that comes out. Maybe I love all of them) the chemistry between them is plus ultra. Told from both POVs which you gotta love. You’ll have to tell me if yall saw these twists coming or not , because I know some I definitely didn’t and I was shook. If you haven’t read the previous book you really need to go back to read them, as for me Bring on Book number 11 and 12 🥰🥰 what am i going to do after this series is done?

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seeing this I had to give it a try, like who better to write a medical murder mystery than two MDs 😀 you just know the lingo was going to be a plus. This is my first time reading work from these authors and I’m glad I did. Although I have a hard time stopping myself from going to the end to peek at who did ( i may or may not have done it lol) I enjoyed the nail biting ride it was getting there. I will 100 percent be going back to reading the previous book.( even though you don’t have to to understand). The author did a fantastic job at keeping you intrigued while reading. Switching from multiple POVs, which furthers the tangled web of mystery and secrets like i said it will keep you on your toes. I Highly recommend you give this book a try, if you haven’t already.

After reading the Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate another Chapter Book by this author.( which the kiddos love ) I had to check this out. This is the first book from The Borosa Legacy following Amese who is 13 years old who’s trying to figure out her abilities and her destiny. We made quick work of this magic filled adventure, just like the other book. After the Cliffhanger we definitely can’t wait for this next part to come. What another great book from this author. I highly suggest getting and reading with the kiddos

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a cute, well written kid chapter book. I read it with my nephew over the weekend 🥰 and it was a quick, but still fantastic read. This is the first time picking up a story by this author and we’re definitely going to be reading the rest of Kris’s adventures. I loved the message of this story, because yes not every girl wants to be a princess and that’s okay(but glad she doesn’t mind it in the end from her dad). I totally understood her,I was that way, so I would’ve loved to have read this when I was younger. I also loved the fun adventure she goes on to save the prince and seeing all the cool friends she made along the way. I can’t wait to read the rest of these stories 🥰 ps the photos at the beginning of each chapter are awesome, they help with trying to picture the characters.

Hell in a Handbasket (Life is Hell #3)Hell in a Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You know after reading the first two I just had to run to read this one. The Life is Hell Series is getting so good! Just like the first ones this is a quick read but no less fantastic. So like MM romance isn’t my usual go to trope, but the way the author wrote this I couldn’t put it down. I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before but this author really knows how to write a paranormal book, really knows how to make the subject her own with her unique take. Teivel and Oren story was probably my second fave of the series of the series so far . Ohhhhh I can’t wait to see what characters Naomi Valkyrie writes about next. If you haven’t done so i highly recommend you go to the beginning of this series even if you don’t have to you’ll want too 🙂

Touched (Elemental Passions #1)Touched by Skye Turner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has a lot of authors. That’s what I found super unique. You know the book was gonna be good If all of them had to sign off on it. After I dove in, I knew I was right. This was the first book of Elemental Passions stories, and honestly it sucked me in from the beginning. I could not put this book down. I felt like I flew through this book, because I just had to know what happened next. Like with fae, centaurs, werewolves, drama, trolls, danger, adventure and elemental powers (fire , earth, air, and water) just to name a few what’s not to love. I also loved Aeris and Callums forbidden love at first sight lmao. The suspense and ups and downs in this story had me on my toes. Also it taught me something I didn’t know of before, a Sylph. So i highly recommend this reading this book
Omg and I can’t wait for the next books!! Bring them one I’m so ready to go back into this creative magical world these authors have built.

This book reminds me of the books I use to read when I was younger(the artwork style, even the story plot),very nostalgic. I loved it. We usually read this author for story time at night. Which we always enjoy tremendously. It’s always a fun learning experience for them. There is always something you can take away from reading the author’s stories. Like in this we got ‘’ keep trying til you find a the solution ‘’ but your takeaway might different from ours 🥰🥰 can’t wait to continue more of Lois Wickstrom stories

Having read a couple of books from these talented authors. I couldn’t wait til bedtime to read this book with the little ones. They enjoyed reading it and started asking more questions about our dog. I love that it explains to them that there’s more to having dogs than just loving them even though that’s an important factor. This book explains how and why having and caring for a dog as a pet is a big responsibility. One that you have to be ready for and learn everything you can to help you prepare for getting one and caring for it. As always I really enjoyed reading works from this authors, and I look forward to reading more🥰

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first time we have picked up a book by this author. The Author has developed a great mystery book for future super sleuths. It’s a quick chapter book for your not so little ones, about 80 pages. It took us a couple days but only because we read it before bedtime every night. My nephew loves that it wasn’t just a plain Chapter book. But one with illustrations in it to help with visuals and to help keep his attention.I’m definitely going to go get the first one to read. So we can see more adventures from Dylan, Emily and Theodore. Also I can’t wait for book number 3 to be released🥰 What I loved was that there was additional Resources provided at the end of the book for extra learning. I highly recommend reading this!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book of the The Olympic Peninsula Series. This release was much anticipated. I couldn’t wait to be immersed into this world again. Now we finally get to have Jake’s O’Connell POV. I was waiting to see if we’d get his redemption story. This one follows Jake and Chiara’s ups and downs through the book. And ups and downs they are lol get ready to feel the feels reading this. The author always outdoes herself the more she continues to write this series.i love that we got to see the characters from the previous books. I always love when an author does that, because I often wonder about them after their books end. Jake definitely has become one of my favorite characters and I can’t wait til I see more of him in the next book. Speaking of which The 5th book The Fallen Man comes out in june of this year and i truly can’t wait to see how Cat Treadgold tops herself 🥰

Before I Let You GoBefore I Let You Go by Kellie Wallace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So picking up author Kellie Wallace for the first time I didn’t know what to expect, but boy oh boy was I instantly a fan. This book was so well written that it truly kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out whodunit. Like I’m usually not a murder mystery person, but I said what the heck and picked it up and gave it a try(I highly recommend you do the same, you will not regret it). This book has a preternatural element to it. I think that’s why I enjoyed it soo much. This book will play with your emotions heavily and has some nail biting suspenseful twists and turns. With more and more danger from every secret that’s uncover.I now want to go check out some of the authors’ other books, especially the Earthbound Series, and Darkness Before Dawn books. They look super intriguing to read.
