Lois did another knock out wonderful book! This is aimed for I would say tween years but even as an adult it was super cute and really easy to follow.<br />Gwendolyn is an aspiring journalist, well when she’s woken up abruptly she changes into what ever she is dreaming about. Well suprise! She’s woken up and she’s an ELK! Now Gwendolyn has to figure out how to shift back to herself, but also learn how to be what she shifts into, but as an elk in hunting season this could be a little dicey. This is a journey Gwendolyn has to learn how to adapt to this new form.

I Love You Today (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2) by Julie Navickas – Review by Barbara Bohls

I Love You Today (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2)I Love You Today by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the second in the series and did not disappoint me at all. I fell in love with Austin in the first book and this book brought me more into the character that he is. There is nothing like living the dream you always wanted to have something go wrong and then trying to figure out what happens next. I feel that the characters in this book made that journey from what was supposed to be too what is to be, full of adventure, steam, and personal growth. Can love really make someone forget about what they feel is in their blood to do? This the main topic of this book. Don’t get me wrong there are tons of emotions and growth in this book that kept me turning the pages as quickly as I could. I fell in love with this story because everyone wants to believe in a love so strong that the other person would want to give up on everything just to make them happy. However, we all know that isn’t really how things go and this book covers that completely. I laugh, cried, swooned over this story and I highly recommend it anyone who just needs to escape for the day and be wrapped up in an amazing love story. This book can be read as a stand along but I feel for you to fully get the depth of the characters you will want to read the first book in the series before this one.

Dwarves' Dilemma, TheDwarves’ Dilemma, The by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was super cute!! I got this thinking that my youngest daughter (7) would like it. My oldest (10) also enjoyed not only the story but the fun illustrations as well. The Queen in this book is know as the most fair and honest person in the Kingdom of Aleta. Everyone comes to her with their problems so they can be solved fairly. She uses a mirror to help her with the harder problems. Looking for the sparkle of fairness in everyone’s eyes each time. When the dwarves bring her a problem where both sides think they are being fair the Queen needs her mirror. But there is a problem when the mirror shows her that SHE isn’t the fairest! Oh my! She entrusts Snow White to get to the bottom of the problem. Can Snow White find out where things went wrong? How is the Queen not fair? Will the poor dwarves’ problem get solved? What will happen to the Queen?! Such a fun book. In the back of the book it has information on how mirrors work and reflect. It’s a great way to help your kids learn about some science stuff while reading a cute book. I would recommend this book (and the other science books she’s written) for kids ages 5-10. I know my two kiddos have enjoyed them all so far!! Can’t wait for more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a very quick read. It is very well written. It also tackles things that are of heavy circumstances. It hooks you at the very beginning and keeps you attached to the book throughout the whole story. It takes you on a journey of jealousy too revenge. It won’t disappoint if you are looking for something quick that can pack a punch.

SoliloquySoliloquy by Janet Fogg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t read many books that have been based in historical times. I normally stick to supernatural, mystery, romance, and children’s (mom of two) books. But I am glad that I gave this one a chance! Erin has a passion for music. She’s a concert pianist and composer, but now she’s been slammed back in time to when Nazi held France! WWII is not where she thought she’d be at this point in her life!! She’s so confused with memories that aren’t hers and of course war time! She must keep up the ruse that she belongs there, while she figures out what the heck happened. And how to get back!! She slowly learns that she’s performing for not only her life, but the lives off all those who live with her. No pressure there!! She’s protecting them by writing music for a nasty German officer. She sees the consequences of creating wonderful music during war time when the German officer asks for more and more. She can’t keep up her lies for long. As Erin tries to hide a British pilot named Arick and help him evade capture and certain death, she can’t help the feeling that she knows this man from another life. And her future life! It’s like her soul knows his. As confusing as it is, she comes to grips with never seeing him again and sending him off with the resistance, but she is betrayed and they are caught. She’s caught in WWII writing music to stay alive, but the darkness’s of war are closing in on her to quick! Time is running out and she still doesn’t know how to get back to her own time!! The German officer is deadly. He also holds all power. He can send them off to a work camp or just kill them outright for anything he wants. As an enemy pilot, Arick can be shot and killed in an instant without another glance. Will she save Arick? Will Erin protect the members of the house? Will they find out she doesn’t belong? Or will they think that she’s gone crazy?! She has to figure out what to do quick, before it’s to late! You have to give this one a chance! You won’t be disappointed. If you love the jumping through time and the suspense of the story unfolding you will love this one. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read other books like this one now!! Thanks for a great read!
