What Lies BuriedWhat Lies Buried by Leslie Kain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I must say this was a bit of a hard read for me because of the PTSD and it’s not a bad thing it’s because I get it and I feel sorry for involved because they’re all “ victims” to someone’s else’s abuse , does that make sense 🤷‍♀️

Gavin has a loving wife and she’s determined to love and support her husband through this hard and difficult time and it’s not easy ….

Gavin ‘s dad diesand he’s got to back to Boston to sort and settle the estate but his short fuse is going to get him into serious trouble especially with his newfound knowledge of his family history with the mob …..

Katie’s coping mechanism is set and she’s really good at it to and I’m so grateful for the person she is because it takes a strong person to carry another through their darkness and sometimes tough decisions need to be made for everyone‘a safety and well being …..

This is just a reminder that the past will haunt you as will trauma if not dealt with , one can’t just sweep it under the carpet and hope it goes away cause it will jump up and bite you in the rear end !

A hard but beautiful read for me and again keep a supply of Kleenex and emotional snacks 😉on hand .

Five Tries to Get It RightFive Tries to Get It Right by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars for a novel that made me laugh, smile and even tear up a little.

This book surprised me, because I was expecting a happily ever after with this book and it actually was one, just not the one I expected.

All Kate wants is to end the life she’s leading and all Lydia wants is to begin a new one. Best friends for decades, they are now two middle aged women at crossroads that neither one of them expected to be at. One divorced, one a widow, both with doubts about their past, present and future. When they were in their early twenties, they took an around the world tour and now they’re doing it again. Kate needs to figure her life out; Lydia wants romance. Neither one actually expects to get what they want, but they both do – in unexpected and really delightful ways.

Summer of MudSummer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scoob and RC are a brother and sister duo who have been through a lot, but they both get their therapy through music, RC with his guitar and Scoob with her trumpet. She is so good that at the tender age of twelve, she has an audition for a local band who plays in one of her favourite restaurants, it is somewhere she knows well and is more than excited to play there, but just as she finds out that her audition was successful, her brother has some news for her as well, unfortunately for Scoob, it completely derails her dream.

It turns out that RC has a gig, but it’s not in their California home, not that they have much of a home on the streets homeless, but at least they are together, but this road trip to a festival takes her further away from her gig and from the opportunity it would give her to play in front of a major producer, so Scoob hatches a plan. Once they are on the road and RC tells her she has no choice but to go, however, Scoob is not in the mood to hear, so as soon as she can, she calls to find out when she needs to be home so that she can play in front of this extra special guest.

Unfortunately, this road trip becomes a bit dicey as RC decides to borrow some items along the way, Scoob is appalled, but when she sees their next stop in a tiny town called Rexburg and this is where things get really interesting. As they become embroiled in the drama around a new dam and how safe it is, as well as keeping up their cover about why they are there, Scoob and RC drift further apart as she feels like he is hiding something and when it all becomes too much and she decides to go it alone, disaster strikes and the controversial dam fails, causing a huge wave to smash towards Scoob, will she be able to survive the watery onslaught and see what the future brings, or will she end up in a watery grave? This is an emotional tale of a sibling roadtrip, with a rollercoaster of emotions throughout as truth, lies and secrets create a web of entanglement which you will untangle along with Scoob in this book you will not want to put down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not my favorite Lois Wickstrom book, but definitely still worth reading. The story follows Soara, a young girl who has the extraordinary ability to fly at recess.

The story is beautifully illustrated by Ada Konewki, whose vibrant and whimsical artwork brings the characters and their fantastical world to life. The illustrations are not only visually stunning but also expertly convey the emotions and actions of the characters.

The story itself is charming and easy to follow, with a narrative that is both engaging and accessible to early readers. The themes of friendship, exploration, and overcoming fears are woven throughout the story in a way that is both subtle and impactful.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff was pretty amazing. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This story about a young girl and her brother’s journey from homelessness and barely surviving to finding family, friends, and home was written so well. The author did an amazing job capturing the thoughts and feelings of a twelve year old who had to grow up pretty fast. I smiled, I cried and I felt the emotions written on each page. So many aspects of life were captured in this novel. From grief and betrayal to community and hope. This is definitely in my top 3 books I’ve read so far this year. If you are on the fence, please do yourself a favor and read this masterpiece (yes it’s for 10 and up but I as a 30+ year old woman loved it).

This is the first book I have read by this author and so glad I took a chance, such a cute story. The writing style makes this story easy to read as well as fun to read. Looking forward to the next story in this Love Burns series.

I could feel Libby’s pain and confusion and even her frustration! Thankfully the “elusive toaster fire” brought the town fire department to her rescue. Zach being the main hero of the day and the story! These characters are real, down to earth and so sweet. The story is totally believable right down to that darn toaster! Glad there will be more for Libby and Zach and their friends!

Make Me Want To Love You: Love in Emerald CreekMake Me Want To Love You: Love in Emerald Creek by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shayna is struggling with life, leaving her abusive ex was only the first hurdle but moving to a small town well that is another kind of strength she will need to overcome the gossip and the stories. So, when her best friend’s BFF comes back into to town as helps her can she hold her feelings for him back as she struggles with life or does she deserve happiness and help.

Burke has decided to come back home, coming back is always hard but when he sees Shayna his perspective changes somewhat. He is fascinated with her and wants to help and be there for her through the tough times ahead, but the strength of this woman is more appealing to him, and he wants to see where this chemistry between them will go but there’s one problem, Shayna herself he must convince her that he is serious and wants to see where this leads.

I love this story, the way the story weaves through the relationship with these two characters is beautiful to read. I love a book where the main male character although a Alpha male has a vulnerable side and shows this vulnerability is lovely to read. Shayna character has been through so much but her willing to restart and in the end take a chance with Burke was brilliant.

The chemistry was off the chart and although this book was a slow burn this just added to the overall story experience. The secondary characters also added to the movement of the story which had me racing through to the end to see what happened in the end. Although this is the second book in the series you can read this as a standalone story.

I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely ate this story up. Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. This story was well written and put me through all the feels. It follows a young girl, Scoob, and her brother RC who lost their parents and are homeless in California. Scoob gets a gig with a jazz band playing trumpet but just before she’s due to play her first night, her brother whisks her away to Montana. The entire way, RC is acting really weird and obviously keeping things from her. They end up in Idaho and he drags his feet moving on until finally he comes clean and tells Scoob the truth about why they really ran off. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Despite it being geared toward a younger audience I, at 33, loved all of it.

Second Glance (The Serrulata Saga)Second Glance by A.E. Bennett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Second Glance is the fourth book in The Serrulata Saga by A.E. Bennett. It is an historical fantasy/romantic adventure with sci-fi and dystopian elements- with a MM romance (LGBTQ+) at the heart of the storyline. This opposites attract story is packed full of chemistry, spice, and passion as the characters embark on their forbidden romance, and all the adventure that comes.
The author weaves plenty of action, drama, danger, challenges, threats, mystery, tension, and intrigue into the story to keep things interesting.
A.E. Bennett has a very descriptive and detailed writing style, which really helps to paint a picture of the world, characters, and adventure- but still, I had trouble connecting with the characters, which made it hard to invest in them or the outcome of their story. I can’t really pinpoint why I didn’t connect the way I had hoped, maybe I was just having an ‘off’ reading day. So I might have to revisit this book again in the future to see if I still feel the same way or not. So stay tuned.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A.E. Bennett!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a prequel to the Crown of Stones Trilogy. I appreciated this perspective of Ian Troy as it helped to fill in some blanks that I felt was missing, but not necessarily required to enjoy the series. There is actually a bit of a different glimpse of Troy, as this story reflects his younger years. There is a lot of adventure, suspense, magic, and drama in this story as we’ve become accustomed to in this trilogy.

If you’re a fan of fantasy, be sure to grab this one up as well as the following three books!

This was the first book I’d read by this author, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was blown away by how amazing it was! I read this with both of my kids who are 8 and 12 years old, and they loved it as well. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and really add depth to the story. It helped keep my youngest’s attention as well. This is such a beautiful book about resilience and the turbulent times that children can encounter. I especially loved that this focuses on foster kids because they do see the world differently, but they still need love, care, and attention. Sometimes they put up that wall of isolation to stay safe, and this story really shows how to support someone going through that. I highly recommend picking this up for your classroom, library, or home to share with the younger ones in your life. It teaches empathy and emotions as well as different situations that others go through.

Both of these characters are alone because of their pasts that haunt them. Will they see what could be? This is a must read to find out what happens. I highly recommend this book.

This book was impossible to put down! I lost quite a bit of sleep just trying to finish this book and find out what happened. The sheer number of emotions that coursed through me while reading about Scoob and RC is astonishing. There were several times I had to stop and reach for tissues because a moment caught me off guard and caused a few tears. It’s not all sad or gloomy as there are plenty of heartwarming moments throughout this story. I’m still such a band nerd for the trumpet, so this book touched more of my heart than I had expected. The flow of the story is magnificent, and everything unfolded so naturally. The relationship between RC and Scoob definitely exemplified siblings, and I truly loved seeing them fight together to make it through. If you are looking for an emotional rollercoaster with strong family dynamics, and yes, possibly shed a few tears, then this book is for you. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heartwarming and at times heartbreaking YA novel which kept me captivated throughout. The wonderfully detailed description narrative transported me back to the summer of 1976, making me feel immersed in the story. Twelve year old Scoob is a musical prodigy who dreams of becoming a jazz legend. Having lost her parents her older brother RC looks after her, but they have ended up on the streets and don’t even have money for food. Just as Scoob gets a paying gig and a chance of getting the attention of a famous band leader on tv, RC drags her off on a mysterious road trip. The siblings find themselves stuck in the small town of Rexburg, Idaho.
Within the idyllic farming community the residents are divided over the safety of a newly built dam. Meanwhile the well-meaning locals want to help Scoob and RC, but she just wants to return home and to her audition. Scoob is heartbroken when she learns that RC has not been honest with her. She decides to return home on her own, but then the dam springs a leak. Soon a wall of water is heading for the town destroying everything in its path. As Scoob fights for her life she has to decide what really matters to her. This story literally took me on an emotional rollercoaster and I found it was a real page turner.

Productivity is Power 2 helped to break down the barriers to being productive such as procrastination and perfectionism, which is defined as disempowerment. Hillary Rettig does an excellent job explaining how these bad habits effect the outcome of our work. There is a powerful uplifting message throughout to better oneself. After that there are many practical solutions that are explained such as empowerment and time management. There are many excellent examples and exercises to work through the book to help you further develop yourself. You can apply this book to all aspects of your life from professional to personal.

This book is a great tribute to Agatha Christie and provides an entertaining murder mystery story. I really connected with the characters of this book and for me, they are entirely what it is about. I loved watching them try to figure everything out and all of the references back to such a classic murder series.
The author has a great way of telling the story, of allowing it to develop in a way that seems so natural. I found the whole story to be intriguing and enjoyed trying to work out what was going on. The book caught my attention easily and held it right to the end. This is a story definitely worth reading.

Such a cute and interesting book, my two daughters and I loved it as our goodnight book the other day. We split this into two nights as they fell asleep.
We loved how it went through A-Z and had a pic for everyone to guess at first and then fun facts. Enjoyed the little facts at the bottom of the page that turned into mini side conversations with my daughter. Bella (9) loved the Hippopotamus one and we ended up watching a documentary on Hippos the next day. Book even had some Wacky Facts in there!!
Definitely a must read with the other kiddos when they want to read it and I am also thinking about using it for our homeschooling with the 2 little ones for their ABC’s

Thanks, Suzanna, for a awesomely cute book!!

Another wonderful story in this series. I was thoroughly enthralled with the trip this one took me on. Trying to keep my wits about me so I could figure it all out. The characters are plentiful. We get a large number we already know with some new additions. Some of them surprised me others I had figured out. We do get to see Madame Chalamet stretch her powers of deduction along with her ghost talking ones. I enjoyed getting more insight into a few of the personalities.

Overall this is another good story in this series. While I was not a hundred percent agreeable with the ending it still is satisfactory. Although a few things happen at the end that I can not wait to see more of in the next book.

This was an interesting YA read. It also has historical elements and the author does an amazing job of transporting you back to that time period. One thing I loved was seeing the growth of Scoob through the story. She seemed to develop from a child who was souly focused on her own wants and dreams to maturing and realise that sometimes things aren’t all about you.
This story is fast paced, and in parts heartbreaking.
Scoob is a talented young child. When she lands a job playing in a jazz band and a possible meeting with someone very influencel in the industry. It seems her life and dreams finally have a chance to come true, that is until her brother takes her away.
RC makes her leave to attend a music festival however that isn’t the real reason they are leaving. What is RC hiding.
When a dam breaks flooding the town they are living in it leads to chaos and heartbreak for everyone.
This is an emotional rollercoaster of a story. The love between the siblings shines through from beginning to end, even when Scoob was angry at RC you still feel the bond between them. When things go wrong does Scoob realise what is more important. Following her dream or her brother.

Are you ready for a hurricane? Do you have what you need for your pets during this emergency? That is the information you will find in this story of Oscar and Emmy. Abby and Charlie take their pets seriously. They love Oscar and Emmy and want to keep them safe as all fur baby people should do. The author has opened up ideas that even I did not know when it comes to pets. The story may be true but it has so much to tell. Your children will learn through reading. My family really enjoyed reading this story. The author also included a list of things to have ready at the end of the book. So much was to be learned as well as fun to be had. I look forward to reading and learning more about Oscar and Emmy.
