Be True with Me (Be with Me, #3)Be True with Me by C.A. Miconi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a quick romantic read but carried a big story line. Jake and Lauren dated in college but a misunderstanding that changed their lives broke them apart. These two found coincidentally run into each other because they are working the same case. Lauren is a social worker and Jake works for the law. They work together to try to make the best Christmas they can for the twins that are in Lauren’s care while their mother heals from her injuries. This story has romance, love, forgiveness, ups and downs, great characters and more. I enjoyed reading this story and seeing the character growth. This was a good read.

Woman Unbroken by Alexandra Fleder – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Woman UnbrokenWoman Unbroken by Alexandra Fleder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read by the author, and upon further investigation, seems like her first book. I have mixed feelings on Woman Unbroken. It is a story about not giving up on yourself, and restarting your life. Devorah has been dealt a bad hand in life, with her parents getting divorced, her father remarrying a much younger woman, and then going to jail. And her mother fleeing the embarrassment in Europe. Then Devorah finds herself in an unhealthy, abusive relationship. She finally works up the courage to leave, but doesn’t have much to run away to, in order to restart. We see her try to start over and pick of the pieces. I like that the author gave her the courage to leave, and the bravery to open herself up again, when she meets Andrew. I was glad to see how she handled that, in a mature manner. However, at the end of the book, I kind of felt… lacking? Like there wasn’t much resolution, or good for her, or feeling of contentment. The story just kind of fizzled out. Despite my feelings, it was still an enjoyable book, and I would read more by this author. She has definite potential.

The Ocean in His Veins
By: A.R. Hadley

What a journey… The author has written two books that are companions. The order in which you read them may skew your view of certain characters. I read this story second. So this was prequel, and my view of this character was already “tainted” by Where the Ocean Meets the Sky. This story is Cal’s story. I really enjoyed that this story as it gave insight into why Cal is the way he is. Cal’s mother has firmly shaped who he is and his belief that feelings are nothing but weakness. This makes Cal the man we meet in the second book – he desires power and physical attention without any feelings attached to it. He has only been in love twice in his life. This book gives Cal a fantastic character arc with development I haven’t really seen frequently. The amount of thought that A,R Hadley has put into her characters is apparent and for that reason I highly recommend reading both this book and Where the Ocean Meets the Sky. These stories are the kind that once you read them you look at the people you meet differently, with a more critical eye. I cannot recommend reading this book enough!

The Cannibal Caper
By: Rosalind Barden

This is the second book in the Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery series. This book (and the first in the series) is a historical cozy mystery that takes place in Los Angeles in the 1930s. Sparky is a tween who happens to be incredibly street smart which leads to her being an incredible amateur sleuth.
One thing that I have really enjoyed about both the books in the series is how different each of the characters is, they all are very quirky / eccentric and that to me makes the story unique. Also Rosalind Barden pays attention to the little details that make you feel as if you have traveled back in time and are experiencing everything along with Sparky, it really feels like no detail has been left out. I found this book to be a quick read that really kept me wanting to read more. I definitely enjoyed each and every word on the pages and I highly recommend picking this book up!

Murky Murder
By Hazel Smith

This is the first in this series that I have read, but I am definitely going to be getting the others. I love a good cozy mystery that makes you curl up under a blanket with something to drink and just read until the end of the book. Which in all honesty is what I did with this one. This book is set in a hotel in London and features Ivy and her family who seem to always be solving mysteries. Ivy is the best kind of heroine, one who finds herself solving mysteries but doesn’t let it interfere with the rest of her life. I definitely recommend this book and I am ordering the rest of the series right now!

Luna the Howling Husky Finds Her Howl
By: Samantha Shannon

This is such a sweet children’s book. It features Luna, who is a husky that enchants readers from the start. Luna is not ordinary and Samantha Shannon does a fantastic job exploring the difficulties in such a way that even the youngest of readers will understand. The illustrations are absolutely vivid and whimsical and add to the enjoyment in the story. I love that this story has a focus on social emotional well being of children, specifically with a focus on kindness. At the end of the book there are multiple activities for children that focus on kindness. This is a book that I will most definitely be gifting to the young readers in my life and that has found a featured spot in my classroom library.

Raining Fish and Frogs
By: Lois Wickstrom

I want to start by saying I have really grown to love the books of Lois Wickstrom. She does a fantastic job of explaining the natural world to young readers. In this book young readers are introduced to the phenomenon of a water spout. It all starts with a young man who decides to go catch a trout for breakfast. While he is there the winds pick up and the fish and the frogs of the lake are taken by them. However, when the winds can’t hold any more it started raining fish and frogs. This was honestly such a great story and the illustrations (as usual) only add to the charm of the book. I definitely recommend getting this story for young elementary readers. It will definitely be finding a permanent place in my classroom library!

I’ll be honest- it was the hazardous hoarding that piqued my interest. I have clutter. Now I’m wondering if I should examine my motivation whenever I am tempted to keep something even slightly sentimental. Throw in a mystery, and a ghost- I’m hooked! The fact that the story is set in my home state of Kentucky is an added bonus.

Both of which turn out to be a struggle. The cafe is a lot of work, especially for only one person who was planning to be an artist, and the diary has gone missing. Everyone looks like a suspect, as Gigi was well loved and many people have shown interest in her diary.

A great book that keeps you interested the whole way through.

The Christmas Carousel (The Brass Ring Series, Book 2)The Christmas Carousel by K.L. Small
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in The Brass Ring Series. This book is a magical adventure for children although as an adult I enjoyed reading it to my son as much as he enjoyed hearing it. This is a wonderful magical adventure with a Christmas feel to it. The author does an amazing job of writing a story that is fun and engaging and captivating while also explaining the true meaning for Christmas and introducing children to illness such as Alzheimer’s in a way that allows the children to understand and not be afraid.

We are back with Rusty and his Grandpa. Rusty wants to get his Grandpa a special gift for Christmas after his Grandpa gave him a magical ring in the first book which allowed him to go on adventures. Rusty wants to get his Grandpa a gift just as special in return but with money being tight how can he get his Grandpa the gift he truelly wants.
When he is shopping with his mum for Christmas gifts he spots a Christmas Carousel. Would the magical ring work on this on?
What follows is a magical adventure where Rusty learns the true meaning for Christmas and gift giving all with the help of the animals on the Christmas Carousel.
Will Rusty finally be able to find the perfect gift for his Grandpa?
This was a really magical festive read that was enjoyed by both myself and my son it captured both of us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Ocean is His Veins was an interesting journey. Since I read Where the Ocean Meets the Sky first to me it was a prequel of sorts. Though the author description says it doesn’t matter which is read first it could go either way. This story specifically is Cal’s story. Gives one a better understanding of who Cal is and what he went through during his life. Cal was the character I loved in Where Ocean Meets the Sky, so knowing he has his own book describing his life’s journey right to where the next book starts. I was completely on board.
Cal loved his mother but she hardened him. That feeling is a weakness so you can’t show them. So he navigates life believing that. He craves power; he goes for it. He craves physical attention; he goes for it. Nothing is out of his grasp. He’s living the life albeit lonely at times, the life he wants. He can’t see himself getting married and having kids so the way he navigates it is ideal. During that time he fell in love twice. With other life experiences in between.
I loved that the author gave him a backstory. He’s such a complicated character, but one the reader loves. One you want to root for, to finally be himself and let go. Throughout the 25 year journey this book lays out there’s plenty of ups and downs, however I’m not sure there’s tons of growth. Just more of an understanding. The growth will come in time. Maybe once he meets that woman who will bring him to his knees.
Does that happen here?
Well you will just have to dive in and find out!

This was a good 4 star read. My emotions were all over the place with this story. To get away from an abusive ex, Devorah goes home to find herself. Devorah was a very strong woman, I really enjoyed her story. The whole time I was on edge wondering if he would find her, was she really safe? Would she finally be truly happy? There was so much going on, the author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I feel like there were several meanings to this story that made me think about where I am in my life. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

The Christmas Carousel is Book 2 in The Brass Ring Series and I just loved this story so much. I smiled, I teared up and I just embraced the true meaning of Christmas in this story. While this is a story for ages 8-12 years of age, I highly recommend this story for young and young at heart.

Christmas is approaching and Rusty is trying to find the perfect gift for his grandpa since he gifted Rusty a brass ring that brought lots of adventures in Book 1. The local mall has a Christmas Carousel that Rusty is happy to continue his adventures, and each ride continues to learn the true meaning of Christmas. Will Rusty find the perfect gift for grandpa for Christmas to show him how much he loves him?

This is a truly wonderful story. I love the adventures of the Carousel and this story really tugged hard at my heartstrings. Fantastic!!! I cannot wait to see what comes next…….

I am still in the midst of a book hangover here because this knocked me off my feet with such force, I’m not sure how any book will measure up to it! This story of Cal and the various people in his life will have you feeling every emotional humanly possible. The author has such a magical way of writing that pulls you in from the very beginning and places you in the spot of our main character, Cal. He can be a bit controversial and may have you flustered with some of his decisions, but overall, he is very complex and multi-dimensional. I highly recommend this book because it will definitely give you all of the feelings as you get lost in Cal’s world. Don’t pass this duet up!

The way this author is able to make you feel like you are experiencing the story firsthand is beyond amazing. From tragedy and grief to love and new beginnings, this book has a little bit of everything. Reading about Cal and Annie was absolutely addicting. You can feel the chemistry as soon as they meet and every moment in every scene was painted so perfectly. I’ve never read a book and came away with ZERO things I would change…then I read this. It is on the longer side as it was a combination of the author’s trilogy, but I still feel like it flew by quickly. I don’t want to give anything away so please pick it up because this is a must read!

Susan Specht Oram is one author that I am always excited to read. This is because it seems with each book she just gets better, just when I think that there is no way the next book could get any better it does.
Secrets at the Cafe is a book that sucks you in from the first sentence and leaves you wanting even more when you reach the last page. Karina is the main character and she is incredibly well written. She has just lost her grandmother and the death is taking a toll on her. She begins to think she is losing her mind, she is confusing people and as if that wasn’t bad enough things of her grandmothers begin to disappear. Karina becomes determined to find them, no matter what else may happen.
This book is absolutely filled with twists and turns. I definitely cannot wait to see what the next book Susan Specht Oram writes and how she makes it even better than this one. Definitely pick this one up!

Christmas Cove
By: Sarah Dressler

I love a good small town Christmas story and this is definitely one. It takes place in a small coastal town during the holiday season and it is an absolutely cozy read. One that would be absolutely perfect being read by the twinkle of the Christmas Tree.
This story is set in Christmas Cove which is a small town that lives up to its name. As it is where America (our main character) rediscovers the magic of Christmas. It isn’t discovered on her own though – it takes the charm of the small town and all of its citizens to help her find her way back. Sarah Dressler does a fantastic job creating the character of America as someone who is flawed yet isn’t too far gone. However, she does an equally fantastic job in describing and creating the charm of Christmas Cove. There were so many times where her descriptions made me feel like I was right there on those snow covered streets. This is absolutely a fantastic read that I highly recommend this holiday season.

Jamaica is on scholarship and needs to pass this English class. Getting paired up with the football player is not ideal. But, since athletes aren’t her type…she doesn’t have anything to worry about, right?

Callahan locks eyes with Jamaica on the first day of English class and he is hooked. As they spend time together for their project, he enjoys getting under her skin. Can he get past the walls that she keeps putting up?

The banter and chemistry between these two was fun to read. Both of them are driven to do well in school (despite Jamaica’s continual belief of him being a dumb jock when they first get paired up). Callahan’s persistence to show that he is worthy of her time was entertaining to read. There were many layers to the story that I think the author did a great job of intertwining. The humor and angst had me turning the pages til the end.
