“Absurd,” Said Bird : A Fun Children’s Adventure About a Mouse Who Dreams of Travel (Mouse Traveler) by Tricia Gardella. – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

“ABSURD,” SAID BIRD.: A mouse plans a trip to the moon. by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mouse is an adventurer and he wants to go to the moon, he has heard it is made of cheese and wants to go and get some.

Mouse has an idea and he asks the other animals on the farm where he lives to help him, he promises them some moon cheese if they will help him to build an aeroplane!

So they all band together to help Mouse, but Bird thinks that Mouse’s plan is absurd, but who will be right, Mouse or Bird? This is a charming story of imagination, determination and perseverance for all ages, while also teaching about teamwork and kindness all at the same time.

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator Series) by Brooke May – Review by M Policicchio

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator #3)Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are following this series you understand that this story is all about Beth and Scott. If you are not following this series, you should first stop, step back and read Predator parts 1 and 2 to figure out who all the characters are. This novella about Scott and Beth is so emotional and filled with growth and laughter and second chances. It is beautiful.

Beth is following her dream of becoming a professional boxer under Chamberlain’s guidance and team. When K.C. gets pregnant, Chamberlain decides to take the season (not something I realized that boxers have) off and stay at home with K.C.. Scott and Beth head out on the road for the season and her fights. Between the bouts and the training and just the close proximity, Beth and Scott start to become frenemies. That eventually leads to them not hating each other and a friendship.

Through this time with Scott, Beth is slowly healing the wounds that needed to be healed on the inside so that she could figure out that she could, in fact, love again. Scott’s patience helps get Beth there. One night Beth opens up about everything, all the horrible-ness of her past and why she has been keeping Scott at arm’s length. Scott tries to help Beth understand that none of it matters. That he can love all the broken pieces of her until she is whole or put back together again.

Some big stuff happens (can’t tell you what, you’ll have to read the book for that). Beth finally tells K.C. all the dark and horrible-ness from her past. K.C. tells her that she loves her and that she is her sister because Beth loved her when K.C. didn’t love herself. It was a tearfilled moment.

Not sure where this series goes next but I am here for it. Love these characters. Not sure about everyone. I still don’t trust that everyone has the best intentions but we will see. Oh….If I hadn’t already said it, read this book. It is really good!

Wild King (King Brothers Series) by K.M. Scott – Review by Beverly Finnie

Wild King (King Brothers #2)Wild King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve been waiting for this book! At the same time I’ve been busy so I couldn’t jump in right away. Wild King is a great addition to the series. The author wrote an entertaining story that’s very enjoyable with some adventure now. A story that you won’t want to end.
A weekend getaway turned into their biggest obstacle. Kellen needed the time away. So when he decided to spend his weekend in a tropical climate, he knew he wanted to find some company. What he didn’t expect was his desire to keep that company around.
Salem’s vacation was coming to a close. While trying to enjoy her final night, this man crashes her party. He’s rude and obnoxious, but persistent which is intriguing to her. When she decides to take him up on his offer of a night of no strings fun, she agrees under one condition. They don’t share their names.
When their weekend is upended by crisis control back home for Kellen he never thought he’d see her again. Boy was he wrong. Salem is now the fixer that’s been hired to clean up his disaster of a life. Living together for 3 months will be no easy task but Salem is convinced she can keep things professional.
Does she cross the line?
How does Kellen come out of this?
He’s not happy. And she has a plan. However it will cause more questions but the author gives yoi the answers throughout the story.
Will Salem tame the wild King?

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception (Notebook Mysteries Series) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of DeceptionNotebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Art of Deception is the next in the Notebook Mysteries series. I have read them all, and love them. The author is also getting better at writing, as the books go on, which is even better. While the characters lives do evolve throughout the series, I think you could start anywhere in the series and enjoy the book. It is very untraditional, but action packed. Emma is a detective in 1800s Chicago, and likes to challenge the status quo. She is in a long term relationship with Jeremy, who have taken in a child Hen, but they are not married. Her family lives in a communal living, and their residents are like family. They don’t play much part in this book, as we focus as Emma and Jeremy try to solve the murder of one of their friend’s brother in law. There was a lot of character development in this book, so I really look forward to seeing what the author comes up with next.

The Apothecary's CurseThe Apothecary’s Curse by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Barbara Barnett is a first time author for me so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I was surprised, in a great way! The Apothecary’s Curse combines fantasy, myths, science, and history into an fascinating story spanning centuries. The story follows Gaelan and Simon as they traverse the world, as immortals. Written from dual time periods, this book is well-written and seemed carefully researched. The world building is amazing, full of visuals of Victorian London and present day Chicago. The characters are realistic, believable, and oddly lovable. The connection between the past and present is palpable and engrossing in The Apothecary’s Curse. The story started off a little slow, but the pace quickly picked up and I couldn’t put it down. I cannot wait to read more by Barbara Barnett.

I have started to pick up more books by this author because my kids love them! This one has beautifully vivid pictures for the kiddos, and I feel that it adds more to the story. My youngest is 8 which is still in the target audience range. He loved it because he likes building things even when others don’t believe it will work. The rhyming throughout the entire story was really catchy as well! It’s a simple yet incredible book on determination, teamwork, and embracing your own unique thought process. This would be an amazing addition to your classroom, daycare, and even at home.

A three-in-one collection of short stories that center on BDSM in a Dom/Sub relationship setting. These books are guaranteed to pull you in and keep you engaged until they are done. Good stories that are all similar yet different in their own ways. Come along for the adventure and see what happens!

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate #11)Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Again the author continues to write a series that is completely spectacular and I was thrilled to get to read this next story in the series. While these are standalone stories all with HEA, because of the running storyline of the rogues attempting to take out the purebloods, it might be easiest to start at the beginning of the series, so you can personally get to know the other characters in the stories. Master Bistrita and Chara have quickly become 2 of my favorites together, I enjoy that he seems to be taking the dominance piece to a higher level than seen before in the other stories, but that Chara seems to make him break all of the rules he has created. It is interesting getting to see vampires, witches, werewolves, and humans working together to take down the rogues. I can wait to read book 12 and see how it all ends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author definitely knows how to pull the reader in! I was hooked on the first page as the world building started to take off. Kinda started to go more to a hover between 3.5/4 stars towards about 30% of the book- it’s a nuanced thing, but I felt like there was both too much detail, and not enough detail. We were getting a lot of important details about the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the characters, but I personally didn’t feel like we were getting enough detail about the world around us and around them. It felt very show-but-don’t-tell. I personally feel that with a little extra editing and pizazz, this would have made an amazing high fantasy-esque novel. I still really really enjoyed it, and I can’t wait to see what book two is going to hold!

The Rebirth Part 1 (Planet Amazon Series) by Crystal Dawn is a great sci-fi romance series

It resembled going into the rabbit hole. There was nothing on the other side of the entryway that was what she had anticipated. Instead of the modern society she had dreamed for, there was a medieval society where people fought with swords and staffs. She had no route home and was stuck here, which made things worse.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator Series Book 3)

I liked Beth from the very beginning of Katie’s story but getting to know her made me love her and brought out my strong desire to comfort and mother her.

Scott is always there to help Chamberlain and Katie , but he never took the time to live his life. It was all centered around training Chamberlain and traveling to the different fights, but Beth changed everything the moment he saw her.

The back and forth between Scott and Beth was entertaining. They made me laugh more times than I can count but there were also some tears shed.

I have the next book on my Kindle ready to read and I cannot wait to dive in.

“Falling for a Star in the City” by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a charming exploration of self-discovery, love, and the pressures of living up to others’ expectations. The novel beautifully portrays Paige’s journey of figuring out what truly makes her happy—whether it’s chasing her acting dreams or settling into something more grounded. Viktor, the college hockey player, provides a refreshing contrast to Paige’s world, offering her a new perspective on relationships and life choices. The story’s balance between Paige’s internal struggles and her evolving relationships keeps readers engaged, rooting for her to find both her purpose and true love. Hager’s writing is both heartfelt and relatable, making this a delightful read for anyone who’s ever felt a little lost in their pursuit of happiness. This is definitely a cozy book that allows ease of reading. So snuggle in and enjoy!

Each time I picked up a book, I enjoyed the story and learning about the different pure blood vampires masters and their mates throughout the series. The connection the couples have with each other and with the others in their master group is fighting the rogue vampires. I suggest the books be read in order as much as possible to be able to connect the story from the beginning.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Glass Houses by Sinister Styx. This is a super short dark romance but it does come with trigger warnings. Its a very dark story that will stick with you long after you’ve read it. Its the story of Falcon and Ivy who are married but are also aware their marriage is doomed. Seemingly very happy until Ivy accuses Falcon of cheating and he begins to abuse her to no end. Planning to ruin Ivy for accusing him, he plans his revenge and when he takes action he instantly regrets it. These two love each other so much but outside forces are always against them. Physical abuse, darkness and infidelity are all in full force in this short read. When they both have spies to spy on each other there is nothing but chaos that will ensue and then the plan for revenge almost always backfires. Read this short read that will stay with you a lot longer than it takes you to read but beware of the triggers. Its not a cozy, happy love story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Notebook Mysteries Art of Deception is another mystery involving the wonderful Emma and Jeremy. This is a part of a series and can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend starting with the first book in the series to fully enjoy the story. Emma is back and helping her friends after a relative is horribly murdered. Though this is a cozy historical mystery there are twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I enjoy this series because the author always brings in great historical information into the stories adding to the realism. Emma has grown a lot as an investigator through the series which is evident in the complexity of what she goes through in this book to get to the bottom of the murder. I enjoy the characters and always enjoy books set in the late 19th, early 20th centuries. I look forward to seeing what mysteries the author takes Emma on next.

As with all books in this series, family, (either born or chosen) features as an important theme.

Absurd, Said Bird: A Fun Children’s Adventure About a Mouse Who Dreams of Travel is the First Book in the Traveler Series. The author has taken her years of experience on a ranch as inspiration to write this entertaining story about ranch life and ranch animals. This delightful little story is about a Mouse who wants to build a plane so he can travel to the moon because he thinks that it is made of cheese. He convinces his barnyard friends to help him and tells them that he will bring them all back some cheese from the moon. The only friend who does not want to go along with Mouse’s plan is Bird, who thinks that Mouse’s plan is absurd. The ensuing story is a delightful little adventure about friends who band together to help a mutual friend. This book will surely delight readers of all ages with its cute story, colorful illustrations, and delightful characters. Looking forward to Book Two in this series!

5/5 ⭐️ but really it’s more like 100/10. This book was so freaking good. I read it in one sitting. I could not put it down. I love a strong female lead and Gillian measured up.

The best part of this story was the depth of each character. There was so much more to them than just good, bad. Getting to know and understanding each character was refreshing. Even the “bad” characters had you understanding their need, pain and loss.
I do not know if there will be a sequel or not but there are so many questions that I need answers too. The other witches who hid, do they know what happened? Can they feel the change? Is Marius truly the last dragon? I have a ton of other questions but they would be spoilers and I don’t want to ruin it for everyone else. But do yourself a favor and read this book!

***Side note****
This is indeed part of a series and I am ecstatic. Rushing over to read the sequel now.

Oscar and Emmy Visit the Vet is the fourth book in the Oscar and Emmy series by Terri Sabol. This was an interesting children’s story, not only with adorable illustrations- but with a valuable message about pet check-ups and the importance of preventative care- making sure your pet is healthy, and stays that way.
We all know the importance of having a regular check-up at the doctors- and it’s no different when it comes to your pet. Regular vet checks ensure that they stay up to date with their vaccinations, dental care, and other health factors. This cute book goes over what you can expect at the veterinary clinic, and goes over a little of what the Vet will do during their examination. Touching on topics such as vaccinations, nail trimming, dental care, worming etc. Then at the back of the book the authors provide some helpful advice on how to brush your cat’s teeth, the symptoms of feline dental disease, how to trim your cat’s claws, cat vaccinations (the what and whys), and how to prevent furballs/hairballs in your cat.

Another great instalment in the Oscar and Emmy series.
The Series contains (so far):
-Oscar and Emmy get rescued (Book #1)
-Oscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane (Book #2)

Oscar and Emmy Visit Grandma is the third cute book in the Oscar and Emmy series by Terri Sabol. It is a sweet children’s story that is woven around some really cute illustrations.
My grandchildren love Oscar, Emmy, CJ, and Lara- and all the ‘adventures’ they get up to in this series- while learning some valuable lessons along the way.
This time Oscar and Emmy go to stay at grandma’s house while their family goes on vacation. It takes them a little while to get used to being in a new environment, but they soon settle in and enjoy their new surroundings. What happens when a little mishap looks like it might put a dampener on their stay at grandmas? This is well worth the read to find out.
The story also provides information on what to do with your pet when you need to leave town. It offers the pros and cons of pet sitters, and also gives guidance for those who are not used to providing everyday care of pets/animals (such as a prospective pet sitter).

Happy Reading…
