Fall Forever by Susan Nickson

Healing series book 2 Genre - Women’s Fiction This was a 5 star read for me. It touches on a lot of different subjects that are very relevant right now. This is about Annie and her husband trying to find a way back together after the suicide of their son. If you have read the first book (and I do suggest you read them in order) you will know that Annie was just opening up to another man when her husband comes back in to the picture. Annie is determined not to break her wedding vows to her husband and works hard to keep working towards the goal of them settling down to a good marriage again. There are some anger issues both of them have to deal with. All the while the other man is trying to mind his own business and stay out of the way of Annie and her husband while they work things out. I really liked that Annie does everything in her power to stay with her husband and that there are no sex scenes in the book. I find these things a refreshing change of pace from most books. ...

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

The Selection by Kiera Cass Audible Edition

  Genre YA - Fantasy/Dystopian I am giving this book a 5 out of 5 stars. When I came across this series I didn’t realize it was a YA book and had never read a dystopian book before. I was immediately hooked. This book is about a prince that has to choose a bride from 35 girls from the caste system. All of this was a foreign concept to me until I started listening to it. Now after l have read it I realize how easily this could be our future especially some of the subjects she brought up. This book is told from a girl named America’s perspective. America has her life planned out already and does not want to enter the Selection as she has a secret love already. She is chosen to be one of the 35 girls and ends up meeting Prince Maxon and finding that this could be her new future. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book. Including the requisite YA love triangle. I found listening to this very enjoyable. I was although not very impressed by the narrator of this book. She ma...
