Review for Christmas at The Cabin by Rebecca Boxall

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for sending me this FREE EBook as part of The Blog Tour earlier this month. This was my first time reading a book by Rebecca so i wasnt sure what to expect but i happily enjoyed this one so much since it reminded me alot of The Christmas Shoes Book by Donna VanLiere and The Song by Newsong. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Jed was definately my favorite by far since i loved how he went from Homelessness to a Blessed Life in a transformation kind of way. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was really in the book while reading especially when the scenery in and around the Cabin were mentioned. 

Overall a Wonderful Christmas Book!! Can't wait to read more by Rebecca in the future!!

Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for sending me this FREE EBook to Promote and Review for Melissa as part of The Blog Tour earlier this month. 

This was my first time reading a Medival Historical Fiction and a book by Melissa so i wasnt sure what to expect but i ended up loving it so much. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Lord Robert was My Favorite til Chapter 2 when he came off as Pushy to Lady Mairenn so she became my favorite throughout the book. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1100s London England. 

Overall a Good Book 2 in this Historical Fiction Series. Can't wait to read more by Melissa in the future!!

Review for Pass the Cyanide (Cooking with Cyanide #2) by Karmen Spiljak

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho this is only the 2nd Book ive read by Karmen, Im really loving her storytelling and writing style. I loved how this book picked up from where Book 1 left off without any unexplained cliffhangers. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. It was hard to pick just one as my favorite since i seemed to like all of them. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading. 

Overall Another Good Book in this Cozy Mystery, Short Story Series!! Can't wait to read more by Karmen in the future!!

Review for Add Cyanide to Taste (Cooking with Cyanide #1) by Karmen Spiljak

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a Cozy Mystery Short Story by Karmen so i wasnt sure what to expect but i loved it since it was abit different from Cozies i usually read. 

The Stories, Characters and Setting were all intriguing to read about especially since i couldnt pick just one as my favorite since i seemed to like all of them. 

Overall a Good Cozy Mystery Short Story Novel. Can't wait to read more by Karmen in the future!!

Review for Let Me Whisper in Your Ear (KEY News #3) by Mary Jane Clark

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was only the 3rd Novel ive read by Mary Jane so i kinda knew what to expect which i think is why i ended up loving this one so much. I loved how it was a little different from other Mysteries ive read before. 

The Characters were interesting to read about. It was hard to pick just one as my favorite since i seemed to like all of them even tho they made some not so smart decisions. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially during the rollercoaster scene. 

Overall a Wonderful Edge of Your Seat Mystery!! Can't wait to read more by Mary Jane in the future!!

Review for City of Ghosts (Cassidy #1) by Victoria Schwab

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading/listening to a book in a series by Victoria so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i surprisingly loved this one. I found it intriguing how a Haunted House Show is made. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Cassidy was my favorite by far. I felt bad for her when she was recovering from drowning. 

The Setting was beautifully decribed which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when Cassidy toured a haunted house with her parents. 

Overall a Good Bok 1 in this Middle Grade Mystery Series. Can't wait to read more by Victoria in the future!!

Review for Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham

  
Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading/listening to a book by Lauren so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i would of liked this one more if she hadnt spent 5 Chapters on her life history opposed to it being just about her Career as a TV Actress. 

Overall it was an OK NonFiction. I will read more by Lauren in the future but i just hope all her books arent like this one was. 

Review for The Betrayals by Bridget Collins

  
Rating: 2 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by Bridget so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i was expecting it to be so much better since the writing came off as choppy and didnt have connections between the characters. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. I didnt have any favorites since it was hard to connect each character to each other. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book especially when the flooring of The Castle was  described as "Like a Game Board". 

Overall An OK Fantasy but ive read better. I will read more by Bridget in the future but i hope her other books arent like this one was. 

Review for Must Love Flowers by Debbie Macomber

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Goodreads for picking me to win this FREE Hardcover Copy in a giveaway on their website a few months ago!! 

Even tho ive read many others by Debbie, i have to say this one is by far my favorite so far mainly because it talks about Grief after losing a Husband and Father since that's what My Mom and I have been going through for 2 years now. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Joan and Maggie were definately my favorites since i loved their connection to each other since Joan was renting out part of her house to Maggie who both needed help financially. I personally wouldnt do it cause its a HUGE Commitment. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall Another Good Contemporary Romance!! Can't wait to read more by Debbie in the future!!

Review for Bonfire Night by Anna Bliss

Review: 
Thank you to Kensington Publishing for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a Giveaway in their Email Newsletter last month. This was my first time reading a book by Anna so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i throughly loved and divulged this book so much. 

I especially loved how Anna did research on that Era before writing this book which made it feel like i really knew the Time Era and Characters Personally. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. I really loved and shipped David and Kate so much which made me feel like i knew them personally. I loved how despite their Religious and Politcal Views they overcame the odds to be together. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1936-1945 London and Liverpool England especially when the scenery was described since My Dad's Cousins live over there and My Grandma (My Dad's Mom) was born and raised in Liverpool from 1932-1950. 

I fondly Remember who telling me stories about growing up there. 

Overall a Phenomenal and Surreal WW2 Historical Fiction Novel about 2 Lovers who overcame their odds despite their different Religious and Political Background.

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Iris was definately my favorite cause i loved her determination to find out about her childhood since she mainly grewup in Orphanages.

Review for Reign Returned (The Felserpent Chronicles #1) by Katie Keridan

   
***TRIGGER WARNING: Parent's Death***
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book in a series by Katie so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really loved and enjoyed this one. It reminded me alot of Disney Channel's Twitches Movies meets The Nutcracker and The Realms and National Treasure. 

If it hadnt been for Bookinfluencers hosting a Paid Promotion Book Tour for Book 2 then i probably wouldnt of read this series til later. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Kyra was definately my favorite especially since i could relate to what she was going through. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading, especially when the scenery was described.

Review for Bared to You (Crossfire #1) by Sylvia Day

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
I normally dont read this Genre but since im doing a Genre TBR Challenge this month i figured i'd give this book a try even tho this is only the 2nd book ive read in this Genre but only my first time reading one by Sylvia so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i surprisingly enjoyed this one more then i thought i did. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Eva, Cary and Mark were definately my favorites since i loved their Friendship Trope. 

The Setting was wonderfully described especially when the scenery of the building structures and the City was described. 

Overall a Shockingly Enjoyable Book 1 in this Romance Series!! Can't wait to read more in this series and by Sylvia in the future!!

Review for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games #0) by Suzanne Collins

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho i was hesitant to read this cause of all the low rated reviews and because i didnt care for Adult President Snow in The First 3 Books of The Hunger Games, im glad i did cause i can now kind of see why Snow was the way he was in those books. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Lucy Gray was definately my favorite. I loved her sassiness at The Reaping, especially her speech which had me laughing so hard. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Panam while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

I do wish this was part of a new series about Snow leading up to his days as President cause im intrigued about how he got to that point in his life. 

Overall a Phenomenally Well Written Prequel to The Hunger Games!! Can't wait to read more by Suzanne in the future!!

Review for The Uninvited Corpse (Food Blogger Mysteries #1) by Debra Sennefelder

  
Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a Cozy Mystery by Debra so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say it was just OK could of been better since it started out with 2 sisters bickering which i felt took away from story. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Hope and Peaches were definately my favorites. I didnt understand why the other characters disliked Peaches so much since i thought she made some good points throughout the book. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Jefferson Connecticut while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall an OK Book 1 in this Cozy Mystery Series about a Food Blogger who solves Mysteries. I will read more in this series but i just hope the other books dont start out like this one does. 

Review for Any Dream Will Do by Debbie Macomber

 
  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho ive read other books by Debbie this one was abit different from the others which i surprisingly ended up liking more then i thought i would. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Pastor Drew was definately my favorite. I would of liked the main characters more if they werent so hesitant in the beginning. 

The Setting was wonderfully described which i wasnt too sure about because of the way it started since its alot different from the usual setting Debbie has for her other books. 

Overall a Good Contemporary Romance about a woman who helped her brother commit a crime, serves times then turns her life around for the better. Can't wait to read more by Debbie in the future!! 

Review for Rainbow Valley (Anne of Green Gables #7) by LM Montgomery

Per My Original Review, I still feel the same way about this book. 
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading this book in this series even tho ive read the other books many times. I loved how this one mainly focused on Anne and Gilbert raising and adopting children. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Anne is still my favorite. I loved how one of their daughters was named Shirley, after Anne's maiden name i thought that was unique. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Four Winds Harbor while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Book 7 in this series!! Can't wait to read more by LM in the future!!

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Lark and Emerson were definately my favorites. Even tho they went through hardships together, i really loved how they overcame it together. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when the scenery was described which made me feel like i was actually in 1783 Williamsburg Va since My Parents and I vacationed that area a few years ago.
