I was gifted a copy of this short story by the author in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

This short story was a deeply, powerful and meaningful story of the human heart and the capacity of the love it holds told via the use of Norse mythology. It was well written and I certainly did not see what was coming. I love a story that makes me cry upon revealing its most intimate secret. This is truly a must read.

A lot of the book podcasts I've seen are specialized, focusing on a specific genre or series. Annotated is a ranged bookish podcast, with episodes ranging from the stories behind specific books to the publishing industry in general.

They're currently in their second season, and if it's anything like the first, the run is probably going to be short. (Season 1 was only 6 episodes long.)

But they pack a lot of information and a variety of topics into the episodes that they do have.

This is the second novel in the "The Lawyer To The Doms" series. It was a short erotica book, and I couldn't get enough. I wish I got to know more about the characters and I was hoping the story would of been longer and with more depth. I'd read work by this author again, too. This book is definitely NOT fluffy, so I recommend it for the people who want to read a short naughty erotic book and are not afraid of rough language and BDSM scenes.

This is the first book I've read by this author. This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a very short read, about 65 pages. This book is full of hot and steamy scenes, fantastic banter between the characters and a hot alpha hero mixed with a sassy heroine. Fantastic story, there was a lot packed into the pages of this short read. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed and advance reader copy of this book

Inside Out...
With beautiful illustrations and interesting subject matter, this book is a win-win with curious children. and although it is quite short, it fills a child with wonder and lets them take in what they want before progressing to more challenging reading material. Welcome to the deep ocean and explore the life and surroundings of this fearsome creature.
I am reviewing this book for Luann Columbo, Quarto Publishing, and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

I loved this book!! It is heavily influenced by Sherlock Holmes (whom I love). Fans of Sherlock and classic detective books will love this book.

I love how short & sweet this book is, yet it is able to fit the full story in. Also, I am a big fan of books with short chapters. For some reason, it makes me read them faster, haha.

The plot and two main characters felt real.

I'll definitely be reading more of this author and this series. =)

Short gameplay
I won this game in a Smashbomb giveaway and m my family has really enjoyed playing it. It's easily adaptable between 2 and 4 players. We laugh about the cards and have a great time.
Gameplay is short enough to hold the attention of my kids. They don't even get upset when they lose like they do with other games. It's a new favorite for sure. The only down side is that i wish the deck was just a little bigger... but I can always buy the expansion.

Loved this book. So easy to get into and made me laugh out loud quite a few times! My only problem is how short it is! I know there are sequels which are just as good, but I still would love to read more of it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn’t have much time to read or anyone who just wants a good laugh. It’s been years since I last read it, I think it might be time to read it again!
  
I received this book for free for an honest review.

A collection of poetry, words of wisdom and short stories, all surrounding the subject of a relationship gone wrong, and through the healing process. After a short prologue poem the first item of prose is called “A Shiner” … a hard hitter in more way that one.

There was one or two small grammatical things I saw, but that's just me being a bit picky as it was not enough to take away from the heart-string pulling writing.

Well worth a read
