A magical story.

The Garden Gnome is a beautifully story. I love the way that the lives of so many are interwoven and work well together. The blend of past and present, magic and science is perfect. There's enough of everything to keep everyone intrigued and reading but without being bombarded with too much if the things you wouldn't normally be into. The descriptive balance is also good, enough to build a picture but still plenty of room for your imagination to play with the carefully chosen words of Jeff McIntyre.
I'm pretty sure Jeff has some magical powers which he's used to created a cleverly refreshing story.

You'll definitely needs snacks for this one as you won't be wanting to put this down!

Magical! This is a bit of a fluff novel but it's really sweet. I didn't expect too much going into it but turned out to really enjoy it. I wish there was a little more character development as far as the major supporting characters but it was tidied all up in a bow. Do you believe in magic?

Absolutely amazing the author brings back memories the magical feeling of your childhood when you used visit the big toy stores at Christmas. He also gives the reader a beautiful love story and shows the tragedy of War. I would recommend this book as must read for 2018 and I for one will definitely be reading it again.

AT (1676 KP) rated InuYasha: Turning Back Time (InuYasha, #1) in Books

Sep 20, 2018

Book 1 of the InuYasha series was full of action from the start, but it was not confusing. InuYasha is a half-demon who is after a magical stone that a girl named Kagome had in her possession when she entered his time. Other demons are after her since they found out that the stone has appeared again.

I found this story to be really cute. There is just this innocent feel to it that I really loved about it. I also enjoyed Magical Realism elements very much. My one complaint is that I would have preferred it if she had ended up the man that she didn't end up with in the end.
