BOOK REVIEW: PANIC PEAK BY WILLIAM A. LIGGETT
RATING: 📚📚📚📚 Panic Peak is a climate fiction (cli-fi) / thriller novel. I love a good thriller, but this is my first book in the climate fiction genre. Panic Peak was a great introduction. The book follows glaciologist (scientists who study glaciers and other natural phenomena involving ice) Kate Landry. Her research camp becomes buried under snow. It seems one glacier is growing at an alarming…

BOOK REVIEW: SEDONA BY KERRY FRYAR FREEMAN
RATING: 📚📚📚 I don’t know, but Sedona made me want to visit Sedona, AZ. According to Expedia, the area is known for its spiritual wellness due to the numerous energy vortexes said to surround it. The book plays into that. We have Cal, who hears about Sedona and its “magical healing properties. Being a journalist, Cal is intrigued, so she packs up her and her grandmother and heads to Sedona, AZ.…
BOOK REVIEW: THE SILVER FOREST BOOK TWO (THE WANDERER) BY J.D. RASCH
RATING: 📚📚📚📚 We are back with book two in the Silver Forest series. These two books are definitely on my kids’ reading lists. This is an excellent way to read about right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, and what you believe vs. what you are being told. The author does a beautiful job encompassing that while keeping the story entertaining. Asmar is still on his quest to defeat Malzus and retrieve the…
BOOK REVIEW: THE SLIVER FOREST BY J.D. RASCH
RATING: The Silver Forest is a book about ethics. What was interesting to me is that the author wanted to write an essay about Ethics but decided to write a fantasy series surrounding it. This book does an excellent job of that. The story follows Asmar, a young wizard from the land of Tulander who has been tasked with finding another wizard named Malzus. Asmar’s goal is to stop Malzus from…
RATING: This book hit so close to home. It opened up old wounds and made me face feelings I thought I had tucked away for good. It is about loss and grief. This book made me cry. This book is phenomenal. This book teaches that anyone can experience grief or loss outside of death. I will be the first one to say death’s version of grief I know well and carry with me every single day. Also, grief…
BOOK REVIEW: A CARROWS MURDER BY ANNABELLE LEWIS
RATING: 📚📚📚📚📚 A Carrows Murder Book 10 – The Carrow Family Chronicles. This was interesting, hilarious, and filled with drama. A murder mystery is my type of party, sign me up every time. The Carrows have a friend named Royal who has been going through it and has been feeling down and depressed. So, the Carrows have this “genius” idea to plan a fake murder and solve it with Royal to cheer him…
THE NEW ENCHANTRESS THE FRIGHTS OF FIJI BY SUANYNA PRASAD
RATING: 📚📚📚📚 This has been a long ride with Miss Alyssa. Every time she turns around, somebody is after her and giving her magical abilities that she does not want. To be perfectly honest, I think my favorite part about these books is that she doesn’t care for magic. It’s a refreshing take on what you normally read when it comes to fantasy books. Alyssa is now 14 years old and is dealing with,…

Alyssa is out of her Uncle’s and now lives with her godfather, Alex. It’s been a few months since her last magical excursion, when she wakes up one day with another message; “welcome back to magic”. I think this is the first book…

THE NEW RULES OF ATTACHMENT BY DR. JUDY HO
RATING: 📚📚📚📚📚 The New Rules of Attachment: How to Heal Your Relationships, Reparent Your Inner Child, and Secure Your Life Vision. I almost stopped reading this book multiple times. I did not like how it was forcing me to FEEL. I do not do well with emotions of any sort, so when they start to fester, my first instinct isn’t to treat it, it’s to do a quick patch job and forget about it. This was…

BOOK REVIEW: FROM TROPHY WIFE TO COSMETIC SURGEON BY VICTORIA JOHNSON, MD.
RATING: I will be honest, I have few reviews for this book. I got heavy and deep for a minute. Normally, when books cause a strong reaction, it’s an automatic 5 star. This is a 4.5 star for me. A few things I couldn’t get behind, and it dropped it half a point. The story was too inspiring to give it a 4, but my feelings on certain things won’t let me give it a full 5. I will explain why. This…

BOOK REVIEW: THE SECRETS OF THE HIDDEN WORKFORCE BY LISA TOTH
RATING: 📚📚📚📚📚 This was an inspiring read. This is Lisa’s story of how Rise Staffing Agency came about. What I love most is that the agency caters to those who are developmentally challenged or disabled in some way. She talks about the challenges they may face in the workplace, or how hard it is for them to find work. What I enjoyed most about this book is how she included some of the people she…

BOOK REVIEW: SQUIRRELS IN ANARTICA BY SARI KARPLUS
RATING: Squirrels in Anartica by Sari Karplus and illustrated by Todd Wilkerson. Squrriels in Anartica is a fun read. Basically, you take an animal and put them in a place you would never think to find. My daughter and I enjoyed this book a lot. The author even encourages you to think of your own wacky places that you might (or might not) find an animal, the crazier the better.My daughter and I…

BOOK REVIEW: LOOKING FOR A LEPRECHAUN BY RICHARD LOPEZ
Looking for a Leprechaun is the story of a boy named Rich who lives in a magical world, but everywhere he turns he hears people saying he doesn't belong. When a fairy tells him if he finds a Leprechaun it will help him find where he belongs?
RATING: I want to start by saying I have a love-hate relationship with leprechauns. They freak me out, but they also fascinate me. Remember the Leprechaun movies from the 90s to the early 00s. Yeah, that was the image I had of them as a kid, icky and ugly. The whole pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, or stealing a leprechaun’s treasure, always excited me. Irish folklore also fascinates me…

BOOK REVIEW: SAM SAYS YOU ARE BORN TO SHINE BY SAM HIRSCHMANN
RATING: Sam Says You Are Born to Shine by Sam Hirschmann and illustrated by Amelina Jones. Safe to say this book was a hit in my household. Sam is a nine-year-old girl who is sweet, bubbly, and carefree. She is true to herself and isn’t scared to stand out. I loved her confidence and positive attitude. She wears bright colors and colorful prints and loves to dance. Every day at recess, she…

BOOK REVIEW: ROSES IN DECEMBER BY MARK A. GIBSON
RATING: 📚📚📚📚📚 Let me start by saying I am so glad my journey with the Hamilton family is over. I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a book, but here we are. A Song that Never Ends and Roses in December are some of the best books I’ve ever read, but the Hamilton family broke my damn heart over and over to the point where I don’t think it even exists anymore. What heart, this book destroyed…

BOOK REVIEW: A SONG THAT NEVER ENDS BY MARK A. GIBSON
RATING: 📚📚📚📚📚 This is the story of Walter Hamilton and his family during the Great Depression and World War II era. . I like how the book was written. Each chapter is a certain time period of the Hamilton family’s life, from 1937 to 1967, 30 years. The book began in 1937, when Walter was eighteen years old. He got married to Margaret “Maggie” Butler, a preacher’s daughter. In the first few…
