Sharing His Nanny by Tori Chase
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have never read Tori Chase before.And I was hooked from the first page. I really love when an author has a good story to tell and gives you the proper amount of back story so that you aren’t left guessing about parts that you shouldn’t have to. Tori did just that for me! I will most definitely be picking up another read from Ms. Tori Chase!
Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet by Lois J. Wickstrom

Very cute book. Was a tad slow starting but after the first couple pages it was very exciting! And the craft project at the end I will definitely be doing!
Things are Shaking by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was so adorable! I read it to my 1 year old daughter. She really enjoyed the colorful pictures!
The storyline was a bit odd. I thought I was reading about 2 invisible magic wands but I think I was really reading about an earthquake? I was confused.
Regardless the book was entertaining.

I love Amaleigha books!

I don’t know that I would say small children are a good target for this one.
But the message behind this book is so beautiful. I really enjoyed reading it!

The Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book Four by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Upon reading the title and then seeing the cover, I expected it to be solely about a kitten sneaking around. I really enjoyed that it was more than what I thought. Lois always gives a good story!

If I had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Beautiful! BEAUTIFUL! B-E-A-UUUUUUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
This book hits me right in the mommy heart! I love how it pretty much says it all with hopes of how we all want our babies to be!
I also love the illustrations throughout the book! It shows us that even though parenting can be different standpoints we all want the absolute best for our babies. It doesn’t matter if you are black, white, purple, green, or even pink. It doesn’t matter if you are a single dad, single mom, or the Brady bunch. Wanting your child to be kind is the same from us all.
I would 1000000% give this book a 100 stars. 5 is just not enough!
I read this digital on my kindle, but I am going right now to order it in a hard copy so I can read it over and over to my babies!
Faultless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a very sweet story. I am a complete suckered for a 2nd chance romance. KG hit me right in the feels with this one. Ted is an admirable character right from the start! He took the fault for a crime he didn’t commit. And never once made anyone feel bad that he did. Robyn seemed like a very sweet natured woman that loved Ted more than she deserved.
I really enjoyed this book so so much.
Rainbow’s Red Poetry Book by Lily Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Deep.
So I am not the kind of person who is able to describe my feelings well. I truly feel like Lily reached down in my soul, and pulled it all out and gave it words!
I will be reading this again. This book is one that you will get something new out of it everytime you read.
Dream-Shifter by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a cute book! The story of Gwendolyn and her “challenging” events is very entertaining! It will keep you reading just to finish out your giggle.
Definitely a really good adolescent read!
Dwarves’ Dilemma, The by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book teaches a very good lesson. It really points out that you have to look at things from another’s point of view sometimes. Life isn’t always fair but if you can be fair you should. The Queen knew she wasn’t being fair and did what she could to right her wrong. Hats off to Lois for this one!
Pardon Me, Please by Lois Wickstrom

Lucas the Spy Cat by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is ADORABLE! I had a cat when I was small child and I always wondered where she ventured off to. This is so cute to see that I am not the only one to be so curious about where kitty cats go!
More Than by Diane Barnes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was so touching! Peggy had me laughing but still asking myself will I share her same feelings one day? I need more of this story! Part 2?
Grave Digger Academy II by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You always hear anything after the first isn’t as good as the original. Honestly that isn’t the case here. Entering into year two it just feels like the story is picking up where it left off. The way that Makayla has grown up makes you feel like you are actively in her life to witness it. I cannot wait for the next book!
Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book made my Mama heart swell up with happiness. It truly shows how selfless a mama can be. It doesn’t matter if you share the same blood when a baby needs you, you help. I really lived this book so so much.
Grave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book put me in mind of harry potter (which I looooove harry potter) and then in the very next page it put me in mind of divergent (again one of my favorite series). The way that C.A. writes truly drew me in from the very first page. The way that Makayla is portrayed as the main character is on point the entire book! I will definitely be reading the next book! I already have it in my library for kindle!
Stumble & Fall by Amy Rivers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wowwwwwwwwy WHAT A BOOK!!!!!
This is such a fast paced book. But I loved it! I couldn’t put it down. I read it in just a few hours! Kate and Tilly are characters that have the best personas. I definitely don’t want to spoil this one for anyone. However I will say I didn’t read the first book in the series but I was able to catch up quickly. I will be getting my hands on the first book very soon!
Moby Plays the Flute by Eeha Bhatt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I looooooove this book so so much! Typically I don’t really enjoy children’s books. But this one was more of a realistic situation. It had a couple lessons in it. Eeha really knows what she is doing! **lots of applause **
Hungry Business by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First word that comes to mind?
Odd.
This book was very unusual. It took me a couple minutes to really catch on. But once I somewhat figured it out, I really liked it.
If I could ask one thing of Maria, it would be to give a tad more detail in the beginning so that we can be on the same wave length as her from the start.
Overall, it was good. Short little story. Even with the small amount of detail we are provided. I felt I could still understand the main character’s emotions.
Dinosaur Friends: 2 books in 1: A Present for the Volcano and Saving Conifer’s Eggs by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
These are adorable books! I read them to my daughter (she will be a year old in a week). And she loooooved spike! Where I don’t really think the storylines make much sense, it is children’s books so it is ok I guess.
I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really liked this book. However I really feel like it should be read with the rest of the series. It wasn’t terrible read as a standalone. But if I could go back and make the choice again I would read the other 3 first.
The way that Theresa tells a story, makes you feel like you are part of it. I truly felt like I participated in every single word!
I will definitely read more of her books!
Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really liked the “flow” of his words. I only slightly got the “trippy hippy” vibe. For the most part I was able to just run with his words. It was like bouncing on a cloud.
Ryan has a way to make you just float.
Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Applause for Ms.Leslie. She definitely has a way with words. The way she is so descriptive makes me feel like I can smell the flower.
When the book opens you can immediately feel the dominant temperament of Dominik. The way he takes control but then melts is amazing.
Leah. Wow. Just wow. I have no words!
Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
To say that Shanessa Glumh killed it with this one would be an understatement by far!
The way the story line is written keeps your attention the entire time. One minute you are in the present (1991), and the next you are in the past! Throughout the book you have three different “mysteries” you are trying to get to the bottom of. But they interweave with one another, so you never get lost.
In my opinion the most intriguing thing was how Joel stayed so silent. He had so much he could have said. Yet, he didn’t.
I definitely look forward to reading more from Shanessa Gluhm.
