This is a cute take on the three little pigs. But in this story the pigs and the wolf become a team and work together. The wolf helps to huff and puff on the windmill to grind flour, and the pigs make home made bread. Everyone is satisfied. So cute!

Queen Titania has a kingdom to rule, a husband to find. And evil to fight. Could Titania do it all. This story just keeps getting better and better as it goes on.

With this one you aren’t given any background context. But honestly for me I enjoyed it. Troy grew up in abusive household, his mom’s family tried to protect them but his mom insisted on marrying his dad. Veronica his ex winds up pregnant and wants to figure out the killer gene in troy’s family.<br />Again this is a dark and twisted story but ultimately it was a fast paced book which I enjoy.

Maria did a wonderful job with this book. I really enjoyed how she started the book, gave us background information on herself and her family. And as she guides you along the book, you get more information. Something’s I thought I knew but was way off and Maria really puts things into perspective. It definitely is worth the read.

Loretta was out collecting pine needles for her strawberry mulch, when she came across ladybugs. Her mother told her that ladybugs are friends and they will help with spring harvest. That year they had the best harvest, and as winter approaches, the ladybugs go and hide away to help again next year.<br />Lois did another amazing book! Between the descriptions of the story and the art of the book. It was such a cute and quick read. We really enjoyed this one.

Isaac is used to the open sea and the canvas sails, but he didn’t expect to find himself standing at the edge of the River from the storybook he had as a child. This book is full of laughter, then tears, it has all the twists and turns. It’s such an exciting wonderful adventure!<br />It was a fast paced easy read and really enjoyed this book!

While Lisa is swooning over a picture of this guy, Mindy and and Ruby show up for movie club.<br />Aaron is Tina’s fiancé, and Ryan is Aaron’s brother. They are hanging out in the garage at their parents house thinking of what to do for the bachelor party. Aaron doesn’t want to do any of the typical things. He suggests axe throwing, or golf cart racing, something fun. Aaron ends up showing a picture of the girls to Ryan, and He is stuck looking at Lisa. That’s when mom walks in with a box of cookies and tells the guys they need to deliver it over to movie club. While the ladies are in face masks watching the movie, all of a sudden the doorbell rings. But Lisa made home made pizzas, Ruby asks if Lisa hired a stripper and they all laugh. Lisa looks out the peep hole. It’s Ryan and Aaron with the box of cookies Tina forgot. Mindy and Tina run down the hall to the bathroom to wash off their face masks. Ruby doesn’t care, she opens the door for the guys while her and Lisa are still in their face masks. Aaron asks Lisa to show Ryan her apartment. She gives him the tour of her small apartment and tells him that she’s a YouTube blogger for her job. Lisa is a good blogger and got an award for it. Ryan asks Lisa to show him what she does for work. So he sets a date for Sunday for her to cook for him and she can blog it. After the guys crash movie night Aaron tells Ryan it’s time to go so the girls can enjoy their night. Lisa thinks nothing of the date, nothing has been long term for her, except her girlfriends. She worked at a coffee shop near campus when Mindy, Ruby, and Tina were attending school. They pulled her into their friend group and kept her around. They traveled places they had seen in their romcom movie nights to go try different places to eat. Romcom night was over, the ladies tidied up Lisa’s apartment before leaving. Lisa wakes up the next day with a wine hang over, and someone is knocking on her door, on a Sunday? Ryan he shows up with two coffees and a bag in his hands. Lisa invites him into her apartment. Ryan couldn’t wait a week to Lisa. They both chat for twenty minutes then Ryan leaves. Lisa was good at meeting people, she had been doing it all her life when she was bounced from one foster family to another.<br />Lisa picks up her phone to go through food options and decides to text Ryan to see if he is allergic to any foods, and they end up bantering back and forth and then Ryan calls. He asks Lisa to a baseball game on Tuesday! She says yes and tells him to be there at noon and she will have lunch ready before the game.
