My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Places We Call Home is a children’s picture book designed for kids between the ages of newborn to six years of age. It is a cute little book that talks about all the different places that people live. Some people may live in a big home, while other people may live in a small home. Some people may live in the woods, while some people may live in a great big busy city. Some people may live with their families while other people may live alone. Regardless of where we live, home is where the love is. It is where we feel safe and loved. This is a great book that teaches children about different living environments, diversity, community, and belonging. The story is told in rhymes, which makes it fun and entertaining for children of all ages. The bright and colorful illustrations really helped bring the story to life.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise – Review by Charlene Gonzalez

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake is my favorite character and Lauren is a crazy chick. I love how Jake shows so much interest at the beginning for this girl. Until density took a spin for both of them. He must train her and make her his, but is he willing to who knows? Like people say love has its own path for both of them.
Jake has trouble finding the right girl to be his submissive and for her to love him for him, not for his money. He sees love as a waste of time and his friends help him on a blind date.

Euphoric Wonderland by Ryan M. Becker – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the MindEuphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Euphoric Wonderland is an eclectic collection of poetry that delves into the world of mental health, tributes to rock stars, slam poetry, and even superheroes. With a flow much like listening to music this personal memoir was a delight to read. The raw emotions the author felt during the writing of each poem could be felt as I read through each one. Whether the author was feeling an emotional high or at an all-time low, those emotions were expressed so vividly that I felt and experienced them on a deep level.

As someone who has battled through mental health issues I could relate on a deep level and felt a connection with the author. I was brought to tears numerous times as I read through several of the poems. This book will make you laugh, make you cry, and will undoubtedly leave you feeling things while looking at the world through a different point of view. An uplifting and inspiring book that you will want to read more than once!
