Finding Cheer by Heather Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finding Cheer: Paranormal Women’s Fiction Cozy Fantasy Novel (Magical Emerald Hollow Book 2) was a really cute book! I didnt’ realize when I started it that it’s a part 2, and I do wish I would have read them in order. Even though the author does a great job of explaining without bogging down the storyline, I do feel there were a few instances when the current story would have made more sense. Not enough to make the read less enjoyable though.
Almost love at first sight with a person who has a completely unheard (outside of the movies) type of full on amnesia and then finding out who both are individually and together. After coming together with the help of some Christmas magic (in the spring) true love is found and happy ever after achieved. Heavy on the romance, light on the steaminess. Would definitely recommend 🙂
Queen of the Fairies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really loved Queen of the Fairies! My girls (5 and 4) did as well. We love all things Lois Wickstrom, but I think this was our favorite so far. Such a cute story but simple and easy to read. Very good for a night time story before bed!
Nessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie’s Grotto) is the 2nd in a series about siblings Craig and Linda and their adventures with Nessie. This one focuses more on Linda, as Craig is growing up and seems to be trying to fit into a more mature world. Their family are back at Loch Ness and the 2 are of course on the water looking for Nessie almost immediately, this time with a new friend.
As always, a great read for younger kiddos as is anything by this author! I always have fun reading this one to my girls and they love it as well.
Holding Up the Sky by Lois Wickstrom

Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don’t normally read a lot of holiday romance, but I am so glad that I picked this one up! It was such an interesting read. There were themes and motifs I hadn’t read before. Like mail order bride with a twist, and trains, so exciting. I also rarely read historical romance; I just don’t normally like them. But I loved this one, it had my attention from the beginning. The holiday part was a real draw as well, I really wanted to read one in December and I am so glad I chose this one!

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve always wanted to use this saying now at last I have the opportunity to use it…… Maria DeBlassie definitely has a way with words.
From the cover, to the title, to every single essay, I was absolutely captivated by this book.
Maria takes everyday moments blows life into it and infuses it with a touch of magic.
Her talent with words makes you take a step back and reflect on small moments in your life that are truly special, magical and dare I say ENCHANTING.
