If you're a Berenstain Bears fan growing up. Then this book is a must-have for your collection or your child's bookshelves. This book deals with the Christmas season and the tradition of Christmas caroling. This one put the bear family on a sleigh and caroling of Jingle Bells.

Sister Bear seems to have questions about some of the Christmas carols that are sung. You learn about some sweetly. This book takes us on a journey through the neighborhood and sings songs. The pictures are done well. Quick and easy to read.

It is also good to add to your advent calendar if you open new books and old ones for your advent calendar. You can create a new tradition by doing so. You can just read it at bedtime. Children will learn new things throughout the book and teach a lesson differently.

The Berenstain Bears Go Christmas Caroling is good for the season and holiday. These books are best for teaching and just learn some lessons. Children will learn something from each book. The pictures are done well. They are cute and enjoyable. Parents will want to read these books to their child or children throughout the year. These books are classics and a favorite. They will become a favorite of your child or children once you get them reading them. They are a favorite of mine and still are.

Harry Potter - never will be another series Like this One!
Since the craze of Harry Potter fandom began with the books and streamlined along with the movie franchise, I was crazy about Harry Potter myself. I always pre-order the books as soon as they came out. I even went to a Harry Potter event at Borders in the OC. It was fun! I read all the books in the series and along with the films, I looked forward to the new one as they came out. Sadly, the franchise has ended. Once that book on the play came out, I grabbed that one too. Harry Potter will always be part of my life because I followed it as it came in book and film form. The first one was amazing and the movie was just perfect.

This is placed at 1.5 but I think it's more of a 0.5 or a 0.1 position in this series since its events take place before [b:Storm|28580871|Storm (Elemental, #1)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452964954s/28580871.jpg|15305022] and probably after [b:Elemental|13418864|Elemental (Elemental, #0.5)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387754610s/13418864.jpg|18769953]. It's a little complicated I guess.

I didn't enjoy this half as much as [b:Storm|28580871|Storm (Elemental, #1)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452964954s/28580871.jpg|15305022], which I read before this. Both have been on my Kindle for six years so it was about time I read them but this one didn't grab me. I found it rather boring and kinda wanted to punch Hunter's dad in the face a few times.

I'd still love to read the rest of the brothers stories though

So several things;

One: I've had this on my kindle for about 5 years and is one of the earliest books i downloaded as a freebie--back when i hoped i could get some good books for free.

Two: My tastes have changed in that time. Maybe it's my having read books 5-12 of Kim Harrisons The Hollows back to back, and currently reading book 13 but this just didnt interest me in the slightest.

Three: The kinda creepy Dorian character. The way he's described in this at the earlier points is some sort of sinister but very sexy looking guy. His name just makes me think vampire, and the initial description made me think weirdo so the fact that she's basically salivating over him..? Not working for me.

So all of the above combined? Yeah, the book is most definitely not for me.

So I read my first Jenn Bennett book several years ago, her paranormal Arcadia Bell series and devoured the 4 books in about a week, it was so good. It was then only last year I found her YA books on Amazon and decided to try them and they are so cute.

This must be my sixth or seventh and I've enjoyed all of them. Her YA/NA books are so cute in their romances with characters that you want to get together so badly and written in a way that even you feel a little warm and gooey after reading them fall for each other.

This one involves a nerdy stargazer and an emo-y outdoors fan who trek for several days through the wilderness that sounded pretty amazing apart from the bears and cougars/mountain lions.

I cannot wait to read more of her work

I love my kindle - it's my second after I dropped and smashed my first one - I have a whole wall of books in my lounge and couldn't possibly fit another book on there so now I read on my kindle and no longer have to take over another wall for books. I like how you can download a sample of a book I'm unsure about. Some books are free, some can be borrowed then returned once read and the rest are cheaper than a standard book. I like how it tells me what % I am through the book and how much longer each chapter is so I can gauge wether I have time to get another chapter in quick! Couldn't be without it now!
