Winning glory by ann gimpel
reviewed by kaila for cbr
Wow, so this one I was kind of iffy about when I asked to read it, but wanted to give it a good try and it sounded interesting. I really enjoyed it.. the first like 10% went a little bit slow for me but then it picked up amazingly and everything got super interesting. The action, the love, the sadness and everything inbetween that happened had me up until 2am finishing reading it. Very good and I cannot wait to read the next ones. I am hoping there will be books for each of the ladies and the guys :) Very happy the author let me read it for review

Fright Train by Majanka Verstraete
Reviewed by Kaila for CBR
I read this to my 8 and 7 yr old girls and they loved it. We didnt have to read the first two to understand this one. They loved how scary and yet not scary it was. They are asking me to read the rest of the series with them. The characters didn't scare them enough to cause issues with them but scared them enough to talk about how books aren't real. lol They also loved the adventure in the story and the characters were very fun. We will recommend this author to our friends with kids. So glad the author allowed us to read it for review.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2357 KP) rated Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish (Mrs Pollifax #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Carstairs has doubts about the agent they are sending to Morocco to verify a network of spies, so he sends Mrs. Pollifax along to help smooth things over. But when the first spy is killed an hour after they identify him, Mrs. Pollifax realizes she's in deep trouble.
While the last couple of books in the series aren't quite up to bar, this is a return to form in most ways. Mrs. Pollifax is a resourceful and charming as ever, and the plot is as fun and fast paced as it is improbable. A perfect escape.

Review: Mr. Waldorf Travels to the Great State of Texas This is a great book for young readers. This is good for parents to help struggling readers with this book. It teaches about the places around the USA and the World.The pictures are done wonderfully. The author will get readers engaged with this set of book. I got the 4 books that's are out for this series.This is good for adventurous children. The pup in the book whose name is Mr. Waldorf seem to lose this reading glasses. Your children will laugh and learn at the same time. To me the age is good for children as young as age 3 to beginner readers.

I really enjoyed this book. It about life and it cycle as though Flowers. There are alots of lesson though out the book though followers. It teaches us that we must move on and keep going. Hulda had lost most of her family and she wondered why she did. Her children died before see did. That must be tough to do.
This books teaches you lesson though the way Hulda did it though her garden. It book that really hit home with your emotions. I suggest that you have a few tissues on hand or you may be wipe your eyes while reading. It was heartfelt in some parts in this book. To me it a must read.

Scythe Faraday
One of the best premises I've read
I'm a big Ya fan along with Dysatopic books so I was excited about reading this book.
The premise itself is brilliant if we irradiated death via disease and accident the general population would eventually expand so it couldn't hold everyone so the sytche where created taking as few people as possible to maintain order but like all things evenatlly power will seep in somewhere and corrupt this is a great story and I can't wait to see where it goes next.
THE lead charcter are Citra and Rowan selected by Scythe Faraday to become his apprentices however evenatlly only one can have the job.

Level the Playing Field: The Past, Present, and Future of Women's Pro Sports by Kristina Rutherford is a book that will inspire young athletes. It is a great book that contains information for all young athletes, male and female. It is a book that encourages an equal playing field for males and females.
This is a great look at the known and little-known names in women’s sports. With one-page interviews, historical glimpses and impassioned text this book is a must have for women of any age who have athletic dreams or just want to read about inspirational players.
I received this book from Owlkids Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lianne Moriaty is one of these rare but incredible authors that can suck you right into her books, to the point where you just don’t want to put it down, and this book is no exception.
It has friendship, hardship, love, sadness, and is beautifully written. It had me guessing about certain things, other parts I had an idea but wasn’t sure.
If you want to read this book (which I highly recommend) set aside a good chunk of time as once you start it you won’t want to put it down. I would say though I watched the TV series, and I didn’t think it was anything close to how amazing the book was.

What an incredibly fabulous book!! I devoured the first two books in the series and Alexei & Talia's story sucked me in from page one! My heart broke over and over for these two, both two haunted souls unable to move beyond their pasts. Struggling to feel worthy in anyone's eyes... Talia finds strength in his overpowering dominance and in her he finds solace. A dark yet incredibly beautiful book about two people who slowly come to realize that no matter how screwed up any of us are, we are all worthy of love and forgiveness. HIGHLY recommended book, series and author!! Five stars just aren't doing my heart any justice on this one!? ;-)

Have no clue how Ill make it waiting for the rest of this series..
My god, she did it again (although Im sure Ive said that before about Pepper's books!?)! AMAZING book! Dark, sick and twisted... just how I like 'em! ;-) I am a HUGE fan of Pepper's, love everything she writes and the Debt Inheritance series does NOT disappoint! I have been dying for months waiting for this book and devoured it in one day. All I can say is, "Thank god!?" Due to not wanting to share a spoiler- Ill just leave it at that.... Have no clue how Ill make it waiting for the rest of this series - I need it NOW!
