Do you love stories of hope, love, and second chances? Well, then you definitely should check out A Ranger for the Twins by Tanya Agler. It embodies Harlequin’s Heartwarming theme as it will surely be a sweet quick read that will engage you.

Both Lucie and Caleb have been through a lot in their lifetime, and it shows in their characters. They are not very trusting but they both have great growth in that area and many others in such a short time. I also really enjoyed the twins and their fun antics with their array of animals

"A novel that has as its main character an Old Lady who is liberated from the boredom of her secure life at an eccentric home for elderly ladies when given a hearing trumpet — and whose wish to go to the North pole before she dies comes true in the most unlikely fashion — has to be good. Even though she is better known as one of the best painters of Surrealism Leonora Carrington’s novels and short stories have had a strong influence on feminist and fantastic fiction. Constantly entertaining and unpredictable The Hearing Trumpet is infused with warmth and rebellion in equal measures."

"Bruno Schulz’s slim output of stories were all he needed to publish in his lifetime to earn his place alongside other 20th Century giants like Franz Kafka and Jorge Luis Borges. Not that he didn’t hope to write and publish more. The life of this Galician Jew was cut short when he was shot dead in the streets of Drohobych in a tit-for-tat between German officers of the occupying Nazi force. What survives is the people and other beings of the ghetto Schulz made eternal and universal in a text where everything has the right to respect, even a tailor’s dummy."

"Stephen King taught me how to suck people in. As a child, I spent about 85 percent of my time with my nose buried in a book. I remember spending most nights huddled under the covers with my flashlight, reading Stephen King novels and short stories. When I was 9, each night I would read as many pages of The Stand as I could until Stephen King had scared me too much. Then I’d lock it inside my closet so the characters couldn’t get me. Honestly, I feel like I learned some of the best storytelling rules from his books."

A interesting short history narrative for all ages.
I have always liked Mike Rowe. So one day while on a road trip I discovered the way I heard it. It made the several hour long trip go by quickly. The way I heard it involves true stories about people and their lives. He takes people you know and gives them a fun narrative. When he begins you don't know who it is, so along the way you hear hints/clues to who they may be until it's announced at the end. It's a exciting way to learn something new.
