BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated A Rumored Fortune in Books
Jan 2, 2019
A missing fortune? A swoony hero? A dastardly bad guy? You can probably see why I jumped into this book without hesitation. This second book from Joanna Davidson Politano reaches new heights and, dare I say it, even better than her debut novel (which was exceptional).
Set on a beautiful estate with a winery, I learned a lot. Donegan's wisdom and passion are beyond compare. Tressa's determination and longing for love make them the perfect pair! Watching them fight through their internal struggles and overcome so many threats, is inspiring.
Set in England 1866, you will be sucked into the story from the first page. And make sure you pick up a copy of Lady Jayne Disappears while you're at it.
I received a complimentary copy of A Rumored Fortune from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Perfect for reading through advent
THE festive romance
This is one of my absolute favourite festive books out there. It’s warm and snuggly and it is so cheerful that it makes me smile as soon as I open the book.
Joe and Clara are both wonderfully developed characters who steal your heart from their first introductions. There were little moments that got me giggling, and plenty of times where the novel was just purely heartwarming.
To me, this is what every festive novel should be. It is so feel-good and I love the way that every chapter counts down until Christmas. If I had the self-control, I would read a chapter a day through December but I know I would never be able to restrain myself that much!
This is definitely a Christmas book you have to experience.

Interesting Plot
Love the Deeper Meaning
Beautiful Animation
Fun Filled Adventure
When I first heard about them makong a Lego movie I was worried. As someone who gre up playing with Legos and watching the previously made animated movies produced by lego, I wanted to make sure that if there was to be A Lego Movie that it would live up to my childhood dreams, this film did exactly that.
I loved the multiple worlds of lego as well as layering the film with deeper life lessons and meanings on what it means to be special anf different.
This whole film was beautifully done right down to the animations. The charactera really make this film and I can't help but praise whoever designed the script, both the dialogue and the execution of it is wonderfully done, I couldn't possibly ask for more.

Loved it
A poisoned bolt has struck down the Princess Anita on the day of her wedding to Prince Arutha of Krondor.
To save his beloved, Arutha sets out in search of the mystic herb called Silverthorn that only grows in the dark and forbidding land of the Spellweavers.
Accompanied by a mercenary, a minstrel, and a clever young thief, he will confront an ancient evil and do battle with the dark powers that threaten the enchanted realm of Midkemia.
I love this saga. Facing a new treat as well as fighting to find a cure for Anita we follow Arutha and crew. I just adore Jimmy his humour had me laughing out loud several times.it was great to see characters from the first two books, especially Pug. He travels back through the rift to find more about the new treat. Such a good read!

Excellent theme
This is a game I consistently come back to as a lightweight game to spice up a hohum evening. I love the theme of this game and how the cards that you are able to buy play so well into the theme and add tremendous amounts of replayability to it. The mechanics in the game are super simple and I have no problem brining it to the table for gamers and non-gamers alike. Pertaining to it's wide assessibility, this game scales so well for all of its player counts. I've even been able to play a four monster game with 2 and 3 people. Lastly, this game was one of my first Yahtzee style, dice manipulation games, but due to my fiance and my enjoyment of the game, we've been excited to try more with the same mechanism.
