Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III. I’ll be completely honest I was a little surprised by this book I really got drawn in and I wasn’t sure if that would happen but I was so glad to take the leap. This is an author I’ve read before but this may be the one I’ve liked the most so far. The characters are complex and de well developed. The storyline had me on the edge of my seat more than once I wasn’t expecting the twist and turns and I loved every minute. The storyline is engaging and unique, I found myself completely hooked. It may be smaller in pages but there’s a depth to this book that makes it seem longer in a good way. Four big stars and highly recommended.

Is This Me? (Being Me Book 1) by Tricia Copeland. I’ve recently been introduced to this awesome author and I’ve enjoyed most I’ve read so far, but I have to say this is probably my favorite so far. The characters are complex and relatable, they easily pulled me right into their world. I liked getting lost in this story, it’s a wonderful coming of age story that kept me engaged the entire book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue by Laura Koerber. This book stole my animal loving heart. This isn’t my usually reading but I simply pass it up. This book was definitely well written. Daisy is just one of the many animals out there who have hard stories to tell. I found myself of the verge of tears more than once. As an animal lover it’s hard to hear or imagine what they can be put through. I found this book to be full of great information and that’s what the world could use more of. The cover is also another reason I picked this book up it’s definitely a beautiful cover. I’ll definitely be giving more thought to these types of books as we could all use more information in our lives. Four big stars and highly recommended!
