Quick Affirmations for Children: A to Z of Easy Motivations for Creating Better days - Positive Affirmations for Happy ChildrenQuick Affirmations for Children: A to Z of Easy Motivations for Creating Better days – Positive Affirmations for Happy Children by Kim Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a super cute book that I love for my kiddos. The illustrations are engaging and colorful, but not overwhelming and, as said in the title, the affirmations are quick. Short little mantras for little people to remind them they are special, important, kind… all of the wonderful things that young children are! I read this for myself to make sure it was something I wanted to invest in, and not only do I want a copy for my own kids, this is definitely something I’ll be sending my nieces and nephews to keep at their bedsides to wake up and read a positive message each day!

Dark Moon Secrets (The Witch Moon Series Book 1) by Lilliana Rose – Review by Sharon Funkhouser

Dark Moon Secrets (Witch Moon #1)Dark Moon Secrets by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the second series I’ve read (well, started to read, this being the first book in this particular series), and Lilliana Rose is consistent in her character development and gradual revealing of storyline. I definitely enjoy the paranormal romance trope, witches and werewolves being the center of this dramatic storyline, and the battle between the coven and other supernatural creatures is definitely intriguing. Probably one of the best things Ms. Rose does is leave each book almost as a cliffhanger- you HAVE to read the next one to continue the story! I love the significance of the Dark Moon that she brings to the story, adding an extra layer of mysticism to an already intriguing storyline, and the forbidden love between Tanji (witch) and Al (werewolf) is steamy from the get go. Looking forward to book 2!
