Thank you to Bookinfluencers and The Wild Rose Press for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to promote and review as part of a paid promotion last year!!  

This was my first time reading a book by Lauri so i wasnt sure what to expect especially since this was only my 2nd time reading a Medical Mystery Novel but i have to say i enjoyed this one alot. 

The Characters were interesting to read about. Michael was definately my favorite especially how thankful he was after his donor surgery even tho the donor turned into a not so nice person. 

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

Overall a Good Medical Mystery!! I do wish this was part of a series just to see how Michael, Elliott and Catherine are doing now but i do want to read more by Lauri in the future!!

Thank you to Librarything and SheWritesPress for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway on Librarything Website last year!! 

This was my first time reading a book by Adele Holmes MD so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed reading this one especially since it was mainly about Natural Remedies to help heal diseases and illnesses long before Medication came to be. 

The Characters were so interesting and enjoyable to read about. Maddie was definately my favorite mainly because of her determination to show people how Natural Herbs help with illnesses and diseases. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Jamesville, near The Southern Appalachian Mountains, 1917 especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Historical Fiction Novel about a Herbalist Healer who is devoted to healing a town of many illnesses despite what people say about her!! Can't wait to read more by Adele in the future!!

This was my first time reading a book by Tyler even tho this is his DEBUT NOVEL so i wasnt sure what to expect but so many topics mentioned in this book drew my interest but also made it hard to pick my favorite part, quote etc in this book since i enjoyed so many parts of it. 

The Characters were so enjoyed to read about. I can't pick just one favorite character since i enjoyed all the characters. 

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

Overall a Good Fantasy Thriller Novel!! I do wish it was part of a series but will check out more books by Tyler in the near future!!

The Characters were so enjoyable and interesting to read about. Vanessa and Douglas Eagle Greyeyes were definately my favorites. 

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

This was my first time reading a Love Inspired Amish Mystery by Debby Giusti so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say it was a pretty decent one. 

The Characters were interesting and intriguing to read about. Sadly none of the characters were my favorites. 

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

Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to review for them last year!! 

This was only the 2nd Book in this Sci-Fi Time Travel Series by Jody Hedlund but i have to say this is MY FAVORITE Sci-Fi Series of all time. 

The Characters are so fun and interesting to read about. Ellen is definately my favorite mainly because of her determination to find out why Holy Water killed her father as she travels back in time to find out why. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was in The Middle Ages with Ellen, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall Another Phenomenal Book in this Sci-Fi, Time Travel Series!! Can't wait to read Book 3 soon!!

Review for The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by F Scott Fitzgerald so i wasnt sure what to expect especially since the reviews over the years are very up and down but i have to say i did enjoy it even tho the first few chapters came off as repetitive but overall the connection for the story comes together beautifully. 

The Characters were very enjoyable and entertaining to read about. Daisy was definately my favorite with her determination to stay grounded and go after what she believes in. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was in 1920s NYC while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Classic Novel about Life in 1920s NYC. Can't wait to read the other 3 books by F Scott Fitzgerald very soon!!

I meant to get to this sooner but time got away but im glad i finally read it and i have to say being my first Beach Thriller i really enjoyed this one.

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

Thank you to travellingpagestours and Ellen Dee Davidson for my FREE ARC COPY  to review for them for their Book Tour this week. 

This was my first time reading a book by Ellen so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i loved every minute of this book. It reminded me alot of Bridge to Terabitha meets Alice in Wonderland and The Muppets all rolled into one. 

The Characters were so enjoyable and entertaining to read about. Katie and Za were definately my favorites. 

The Setting was so beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book with the characters the whole time. 

Overall a Good High Fantasy Novel for all ages to read!! Can't wait to read more by Ellen in the future!!

Review for The Sweet Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher, (Cape Cod Creamery #1)

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE ARC COPY  to review for them earlier this year!! 

This was only the 2nd Contemporary Series ive read by Suzanne and i have to say this is definately a favorite of mine even tho its only Book 1 but could really connect with the storyline and characters. 

The Characters were very enjoyable and entertaining to read about. Dawn was definately my favorite. I could really connect with her character especially since May Dad's been gone for 14 months and how Dawn's Grief is explained exactly how ive been feeling the past 14 months. 

The Setting was beautifully described  which made me feel like i was actually in Cape Cod especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book 1 in this Series about Mother and Daughter going on a "Spur-of-the-moment" Vacation turned into a life changing adventure together by opening a Creamery together!! 

Can't wait to read Book 2 when it comes out this year!!
