Lindsay (1717 KP) rated The Berenstain Bears Learn About Heaven in Books
Jan 4, 2021
Some children might start thinking about what it's like after someone passes away. The Berenstain Bears Learn about Heaven can help your child or children learn about what Heaven is? It does it in a way that children can learn without having to make it too complicated.
I know adults might have this same question and do not know all the answers to them. This book talks about them as well. This one has geared children but who says we can not read it and make more sense of it. This book is done well with its illustrations.
Heaven can be different for everyone so there are no right or wrong answers. This one all starts with a few phrases that Lizzy says that makes Sister Bear start thinking. The way this book is done can help with asking questions about a big topic.
The pictures are wonderfully done. I was looking at the picture a bit more to just look at. There seem to be different explanations for what heaven looks like for each person that Sister Bear asks. This book is good for Sunday school teachers or even churches. Parents can have this on their bookshelves for children to read or to be read to about. If you are a Berenstain Bears fan, you will want this book in your library or bookshelves.

This has been borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited Library.
This is the final book and Basi has some serious issues to resolve. She gave the Fyrlia's information that could start the end game and leave Kyros and his family in jeopardy so she has to fix that. Then there's what she promised to do for the Indebted. There's also the issue of trying to stay true to her grandmother's memory.
Once again I don't want to spoil it by going into detail but whoa, this had a lot going on.
I enjoyed reading more of the growing connection between Basi and Kyros as they completed more blood exchanges. It was about time that they finally just told each other the truth and worked through the issues from their short past together. They really were super cute and extremely hot at times. I loved them.
As for the game between the two clans of vampires. I'm so glad Basi was able to come up with her brilliant idea to thwart the bad side from winning as, like Basilia, I'd grown to like pretty much all of Kyros' family.
I did like the ending.
At the back of the book, the author had a note saying she was working on a werewolf supernatural battle series too and I think I'll read that too when it's released.

This pretty much carries on from the last with Basi at her grandmothers funeral. Afterwards she learns some things about her grandmother and her estate that has her marvelling at her secretiveness. Basi also has plans for the Indebted. She wants to undergo the fourth blood exchange so she can begin to have a group of Indebted away from the tower so they can have some freedom but the fourth exchange has been given the no go by King Julian.
It does seem to be getting a little complicated this trilogy. There is so much going on at times that I get a little overwhelmed. I won't spoil it by listing things because I think you need to try this series for yourself.
All I want is for Basi and Kyros to get together because the tension and the emotions between them are so high at times. They've've both lied to each other at time so I really don't know if I get Kyros' anger at the end of this.
The game between these two warring families is very likely to destroy everyone if it keeps going for much longer. It needs to come to an end.
I need to finish this trilogy to see how it all ends.

Merissa (12038 KP) rated Eira in Books
Aug 5, 2021
EIRA is a standalone novella giving The Snow Queen a FF fairytale retelling.
The descriptions of the national park, the weather, the hut, all those sorts of things were absolutely brilliant. I could see them so clearly in my mind as I read, which is always a good thing.
What I didn't like so much were the main characters themselves, which kinda makes it awkward! I didn't really feel any connection between them, not helped by the long periods of time that slipped them both by without them being in contact.
The other thing was when Kay had been told about the curse. She goes to the library and searches out information on Gwyn, finding out she was a historical figure who just disappeared. Then she makes a connection to fairy tales and decides - with no real proof, just a hunch - that Gwyn is The Snow Queen and she knows how to save her. I love fantasy and paranormal but even I found this to be a stretch of the imagination.
Overall, this was a nice coffee break book that I enjoyed but it is a one-and-done for me.
