I won an Advance Reader's Edition of this book from the publisher, St. Martin's Press, via Goodreads giveaway. Thank you!

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. I've been reading Nora Roberts for what seems like my entire life, and she consistently creates stories and characters that I fall completely in love with. This story grabbed me immediately and wouldn't let go. I saw another reviewer use the phrase "heartbreaking and beautiful," and I could not agree more. The characters are complex and interesting, and interact so well with each other that you almost feel like you're eavesdropping.

Also: I want to live and work on the Bodine Ranch & Resort. :)

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by Joe Rhatigan is a wonderful and different version of the classic version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. This version involves cats. Twinkle twinkle is a star and her feline friends are trying to find a way to visit. But balloon, dogs, and even some cake can not help the cats get to twinkle. The upside we learn why cats “sing” at night. The illustrations are brights, colorful, and it's full of fun. It is an old book with a cute twist. 

I give this book 4/5 stars.

Landforms by Mary Lindeen is an easy to read book for young readers in the Earth Science series. This book teaches the reader about the science of landforms, and their shapes.  It has beautiful color photographs that help the reader to better understand mountains, hills, plateaus, etc. The book will help young readers learn about geography in a fun way in which they will understand. The vocabulary used in the word list is simple and perfect for young readers. 

I would love to add this book to my classroom library. 

I give this book 4.5/5 stars.

Sitting in traffic was never so much fun! The audio version of this book was just hilarious, and the narrator had all the right stuff to keep me engaged. The stories themselves are so amusing, I didn't want to actually get to my destination! This author has a knack for sharing her true stories, almost like meeting up with a long-time friend you haven't seen for a while and catching up over a meal or drinks. I laughed to the point of crying a few times, and I'd definitely pick this one up again when I ever need a good chuckle.

5 stars =)
