The Nutcracker adapted by Bethany Snyder

I 💕LOVE the story of the Nutcracker so much and this adaptation doesn't disappoint. It follows the original tale wonderfully and the ending is so romantic. I💕LOVE the retellings that has that ending, because it makes the story more realistic than just a dream like some stories do. I cannot recommend this enough and I got this one at Dollar Tree. So pick this up next time you are their or you will miss out on a romantic and beautiful story about loving people for the inside not outside. I VERY VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.

Hollyhock by Penny Zeller

This book is ADORABLE😍!!! I really felt for Naniekyns, because I have allergies also. Poor thing. I 💚LOVE how she prayed about her issues. She also had friends that helped her. I 💚LOVED how one stayed up all night to make her feel better and find something she could eat. This is such an informative book and teaches the value of patience and helping a friend in need. I MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Also I 💚LOVED the pictures they where so detailed and made the story more intriguing.

The Elf King's Sacrifice by Elisa Rae

💚LOVE the characters and storyline. Emyrs was just what Kate needed. She needed someone to care for her and be understanding of what she was going through. Emyrs needed someone with humor and relaxed around him. I💚LOVED when they met. I would of been swooning also from finding out that I was talking to the king instead of one of his guard. The grim dog never heard of it, but that is another thing to 💚LOVE!!! I can't believe who it bonded to. Also must say there was hints of Twelve Dancing Princesses, and my favorite Snow White in this book. Plus sooo many quotable quotes. I could go on, because their is so many things to 💚LOVE in this book. I MOST HIGHLY recommend it.

Dial E for Enderment by Heidi Gray McGill

This is such a beautiful story about finding love in the most funniest circumstances. 😂Everly and Cam where such a funny and unique couple. She had to always be independent, but with Cam she was able to be dependent on his love, humor, and mischievous dog. I just 💙LOVED the storyline and how everything worked out. I also 💙LOVE the faith filled and inspiring quotes. It was so hard to choose which quotes I liked best. I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is about making the best out of circumstances and letting God lead you.

Clan of Two by Brooke Vitale

Just read this book and it is a MUST IF YOU 💙LOVE the Mandalorian. Especially if you weren't a fan of the big chapter book like I was that combined all two seasons/ all episodes so far together.

The only problem I have is that I was hoping it would have the picture of a loth cat in it. Other than that I MOST Definitely recommend this book.

Freedom's Flight by Penny Zeller

The White Slipper by Brittany Fichter

ENTRUSTED BY Jody Hedlund 

Wow so much happened in this book. I ♥️LOVED the characters along with the returning characters. Birgitta and Kristoffer where so right for each other. They both are competitive, but also do what is right despite the hardships it may bring. I ♥️LOVED the storyline for not only the sweet romance and chemistry between the two characters, but also for hope in the darkness. It proved that the light within us can snuff out the darkness no matter how hard it desperately tries. I was excited for this book when Enflamed mentioned about Kristoffer's soon to be difficulty with family. That is another thing I ♥️LOVE about this story, because it shows how strong friendships can be. How we can make our own families or still remain loyal to blood relatives even when they don't realize it. Birgitta in the end did what she thought was best for her brother. I will not spoil it though. But this book had such a big message in it. Also the last thing I must mention is that I ♥️LOVED the inspiring quotes peppered throughout. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. 

Enflamed by Jody Hedlund

At first I thought this book wouldn't be very great, because it was slow at first. But it quickly picked up. Sylvi and Espen are so perfect for each other. They both care too much what people think, but are fiercely loyal to their loved ones. I 💙LOVED the mystery surrounding the holy lamp. The author was brilliant in creating it like she did. I also 💙LOVED how smart Sylvi could be when she believed in herself. Another thing I must mention is how Espen's father is so funny and sneaky. He was such a fun character in the story and helped bring Espen and Sylvi even closer together. I MOST Definitely recommend this book.

Forgotten Memories by Penny Zeller

I 💖LOVED how the story played out.Annie and Caleb had their destinies intertwined from when they were little till they got to adulthood. When they met again it wasn't too nice either, but it sure was a funny picture about how his actual pet calf managed to go through the doorway of the school. I 💖LOVED the two main characters they where just so very well developed. Annie was in desperate need to let go of the past and Caleb was desperate for forgiveness in how he hurt her years ago.I also💖LOVED how their was always something to keep you turning the pages, whether a small twist to it or just an emotional scene about to come up. This book flowed so well and had such a wonderful message about forgiveness. It also reminded me of a Janette Oke book with the morals and Christian values it has in it. I VERY HIGHLY recommend

A Lonely Dance by Selina Gonzalez

Literally an enchanting read and a page turner. Just when you think it has slowed down something happens and you are compelled to read further. I 💗LOVE how
much mystery was involved along with a big reveal well two if you count the first. That second big reveal was AMAZING. I won't spoil it, but it is nice to know someone has family that will stand by him besides Alex. I 💗LOVED how much fantasy was involved in this and some of it I didn't know so I was surprised almost as much as Tristan. Tristan and Ilara are perfect together. Her strong will and he wanting to make up for past misdeeds make them a force to be reckoned with. I 💗LOVE how patient Ilara is with Tristan, and how much he encourages her when she needs it. Oh another thing I cannot not mention is Alex😍 and Raelyn are in this story. Alex makes such a great king. The only problem I have is the length, which for some reason seems longer than the first.
Other than the length thing I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is all about forgiveness, self-worth, finding yourself, and the power of LOVE.

Mandalorian's Quest

This book flowed so well and the pictures where spot on. I 💗LOVED how detailed the cartoon like photos where. This tells the entire second season of the Mandalorian so well. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this book, especially if you 💖LOVE Grogu. Also their are stickers😁.

Jason vs Squirrels by Jason Baugh

🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️I 💖💖💖💖💖 LOVE this book. I 💖LOVE the colors/illustrations. The pictures just pop out at you that you can't help, but be intrigued by the storyline. I also 💖LOVED the message of this book, which was that you don't know what people/critters are going through. Poor squirrels they just wanted food like the birds did and he had plenty of bird feeders. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!! It has a good Christian message to it, and it is soooooo ADORABLE😍😍😍😍😍

Enriched by Jody Hedlund

Wow their is a lot to say about this book. It has such a wonderful message on love and not letting your fears get the best of you. I🤍LOVE how Karina's personality meshed with Torvald's seriousness so well. She is a bright light to his darkness he had with him. I also 🤍LOVED how this series always has returning characters including King Ansgar. The mystery surrounding the jotunn I did not see coming. This is a must read if you 🤍LOVE the stories of King Arthur and his Knights. Torvold kind of reminds me of Galahad. So serious and yet so very brave. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

Ensnared by Jody Hedlund

This book was somewhat draggy at first, but it picks up by the middle of it. So much mystery dealing with the nearby forest that leaves you wanting to know more. I 💗LOVE how much better Gunner and Mikeala are off when they don't fight their feelings. They find out they are actually stronger together than apart. All in all I Most Definitely recommend this book. 

Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey

This was such an adorable little book😍. I just ♥️LOVED the sketched illustrations on the pages. They where just so detailed and eye catching. I also ♥️LOVED how the policemen helped the mama duck and her ducklings. I HIGHLY recommend this book, especially if you ♥️♥️♥️LOVE animals.

Splat the Cat Twice the Mice

So adorable!!! As usual with Splat books the illustrations are beautiful. So much color and adorable detail to the pictures that you just can't help, but ♥️LOVE!!! I also ♥️LOVED the storyline about Splat being excited to welcome a new friend. I MOST DEFINITELY recommend this book.

A Little Princess adapted by M.J. Carr

Finally got to this book!!! I love the movie and this book does it justice. The pictures where vivid and the story flowed together just like the movie. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this. 

The Shadow Elf's Rescuer by Elisa Rae

💚💚💚💚💚LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Casimir and Veta where soooo sweet together. Casimir's personality meshed so well with Veta's. They both reasoned out things along with being practical. I also 💚LOVED the more in depth look at what a shadow elf is. I have never heard of them until this series. I also 💚LOVED the adventure in this along with so much suspense. I could not put this book down. I VERY HIGHLY Recommend it

I'm a Unicorn by Mallory C. Loehr

This is a sweet magical read. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.. Especially if you are in need of a quick read. I 💙LOVE the illustrations and the storyline.The colors are fantastic and so are the different animal species. The animals are soooo cute😍. I also 💙LOVE the sweet little message at the end.

Mr. DNA

This book is adorable I MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! It is just like the little video on the first Jurassic Park movie, but with details added to go along with Jurassic World's theme park. I ♥️LOVE the drawings/animation that is on every page. I also♥️LOVE the information on the dinosaurs it gives, because it is very informative. This book is perfect for all ages anyone who♥️LOVES dinosaurs should read this. It is soooo cool. Plus Mr. DNA is narrating it and who could not ♥️LOVE him.

Veil of Winter by Rachel Skatvold 

So much to ,🤍LOVE in this book. I know fall is my favorite season, but I 🤍LOVE snow and this one has a lot in it. I 🤍LOVE the adventure and the way the hero and heroines personalities go together.They both wear their emotions on their sleeves, but know better when times call for them to be stifled. I felt bad for poor Elyce on how she was being used by her family. I did 🤍LOVE how Gerard showed her that having emotions is a good thing. They where just soooo sweet together and you could feel the chemistry between them growing. I 🤍LOVE how the author incorporated the Sleeping Beauty fairytale into this. The sleeping potion and how the knight thought about waking her up do to a method he saw on a knight that was knocked out.
This book gives me strong Hagenheim vibes, so if you loved that series this book is a MUST. It mentions Germany more than once. I MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

Riona's Promise by Rachel Skatvold

This book has mystery, courage, promises, and adventure all in one. It also flows right along better than poor Riona's sea legs. She does get used to the ship though. Riona and Eamonn you could tell their is a magnetic pull between the two of them that they both try to ignore. But with Riona's compassion that pull finally pushes forward when Eamonn needs help. I 🤍LOVED how their personalities both meshed together. I also🤍LOVE that hers and Eamon's favorite season is fall. It is my favorite also. Eamonn reminds me of the kings of legend one that show's how fierce of a warrior he could be if his people are threatened. Riona with her compassion and other attributes she doesn't realize she has will make her and Eamonn brilliant leaders now both their people needs. There is an adorable fox in this book that you can't help, but just fall in love with. Plus I 🤍LOVE what he does toward the end, because it is just soooo cute. Another thing I will mention is that I really 🤍LOVED that this book is about God's timing for stuff and letting him lead your path. I Highly recommend it

Masquerade by Kimberly A Rogers

I 💛LOVED this one!!! The storyline, the characters, the faith, and romance was so brilliant on how the author wove everything together. I 💛LOVED Lisette and Merek's characteristics.They are a perfect match for each other. Lisette was starved for attention and yearned to be free of her father's choices for just a few moments. I 💛LOVED how she didn't see Merek as just a dragon, but someone who could also use some company. They both needed some company and someone that cared about them. Merek was tired of being lonely too and he did not know how to react to Lisette's courage. Merek was such an ornery character. I 💛LOVED how he told her the story about when a dragon gives someone something from his hoard, and then gave her something from his not too long later. It was so sweet and something Merek never thought could happen. I 💛LOVED the rose bracelet he gave her from his hoard instead of a rose. I thought it was such a neat touch to the story

I saw the complaints about her loyalty to her father. If you think about it and she did go against her father Merek would have an uprising to deal with. Her father would of ocaused the whole of Tannin to dislike him and it would of caused further strife. She did it in a smart way instead of one out of fear. Her bravery and Merek's strong will makes them a perfect pair. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Dancer by Kimberly A Rogers

This was a most interesting take on The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I 🤎LOVED the references to that story, which was peppered throughout the book. William and Imani did not seem like a good match at first, but the reason soon becomes obvious. William was hurt by someone and refused to let that happen again. While Imani did not know how to act around him, due to his strange personality. They make an unusual match, but it works. Imani and William are also both strong willed and stubborn, so it made sense they would knock heads. I 🤎LOVED the whole dynamic of the characters, because they became like a family. I especially 🤎LOVED the golden dragons personality. It was so funny and yet it hid his feelings that he had been hurt by humans. This book was hard to put down. When it started to slow down it suddenly picked up again, and it was enough to keep you reading till the end. I did 🤎LOVE how over time William got over his hurt and instead of accusing Imani it became more of a teasing when he called her viper. I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this book. What I would change was some of the bickering.

The Storyteller's Dragon by Kimberly A Rogers 

This story was beautiful!! The sweet romance between heroine and hero, the weaving of stories, and acts of courage makes this a MUST READ!!!! Marissa's character was such a well rounded character Her wisdom and love shines through, especially in her stories. I🤍LOVED the interactions between the characters. Despite the hardships they found ways to stay happy. I🤍LOVED how Alastair wished for Marissa to read the dragon lores to understand his and her heritage. He loved her and wished for her to understand. I also 🤍LOVED Marissa's determination and loyalty in keeping her vow to her husband. She had several opportunities to leave him and yet she stayed. Their 🤍LOVE was so great they where able to understand each other when she mentioned something in her stories that he needed to hear. He also did the same and it was AMAZING 😍!!!!! They where a great match and so glad they where in Cat's Gambit. I fell in 🤍LOVE with their characters then and even more with this one. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Lady Cara's Loyalty by Rachel Skatvold

This book is filled with adventure, legends, and some most interesting creatures. I could not stop wondering what would happen next. I 💙LOVE how this one delved deep into the legends of the land, especially on a specific relic that gives one the honor of having the loyalties of certain beasts. I also💙LOVED the faith based values, and trials that this book had in it. Lady Cara and Annan made an even match. Their 💙LOVE for each other was strong even when forces drove them apart. They still believed in the other, and kept going due to their love for each other. They both 💙LOVED the outdoors, adventures, and had faith. Lady Cara's faith though is what got a lot of the characters through the difficult times, especially when Annan's wavered. I 💙LOVED how relatable Annan was in his wavered faith and his self-doubt. Lady Cara was also relatable in the fact that she had so much loyalty, but sometimes a decision has to be made. Either loyalty to one or a multitude of people that needed her.
I also must mention more about the legends. It was brilliant how it was done, and in the way to clues were to the relic. I 💙LOVED the wolf medallion that they found in looking for clues, and could only be deciphered if you have the clue that is close by. It is like it was meant for two people to find the clues together. Which makes sense, because two sweethearts long ago started it to protect the scepter.If you need a book with legends, faith, budding romance, and creatures than you must check this one out. I VERY HIGHLY Recommend this book

Cat's Gambit by Kimberly Rogers

Helena and Reed make quite the pair. They both are stubborn, love making plans, and are smart. 😂They are so well matched. I 🤎LOVED their banter between them. Reed's schemes/ plans keeps you hooked and wanting to know more. Especially on why he is a cursed cat. I 🤎LOVE the interactions between them, especially after he is changed back. You can tell how much their 🤎LOVE was ready to blossom for each other after he changed. I also🤎LOVED mention of past characters and a scene that takes place in Dragon's Maid. Helena is so smart in restoring her husband's estate. 😂He loves her just not the sheep. However, his encounters that happened in the past I can understand being leary of them. There is so much mystery, action, and adventure along with humor that makes this book so great. If you need a book to keep you smiling and entertained this is the one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Panther's Bride by Kimberly Rogers

This one was first to catch my eye from this author, however, never having read her books I was afraid I would be disappointed. Now that I have read it I am glad I didn't read this first. I did 💜LOVE it, but not as much as the other two. Keturah poor thing was so desperate for love and acceptance, and it was hard to read how her husband's people treated her and him. The problem, which really isn't a problem was the villains. They where truly villainous, and I can't believe Tendaji wasn't able to kick them out.
The storyline is good and the sweethearts where so sweet together. Plus they really brought the best out in one another. Tendaji helped Keturah in her confidence and she helped him by seeing him for who he truly was. Which wasn't a monster like the others outside the clan believed.
I 💜LOVE how Keturah showed strength, and how Tendaji fell for her. It was so sweet and I 💜LOVED Keturah's courage when she was challenged for her place in her husband's clan. She made those horrible villain's mouths drop😂. Despite really loathing the villains and not being able to stand them at times I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this book.

******* My problem with the villains was their personalities would really clash with mine. I would not have the patience to put up with their trouble. 

Dragon's Maid by Kimberly A Rogers 

This is such a refreshing retelling of Cinderella. Damaris and Tancred are so humerous together. I just 🤍LOVE their banter with each other. It is funny, but yet it shows how much they had grown feeling for each other. Damaris is a force to be reckoned with. I 🤍LOVE her courage, determination, and bravery in the adversity she faces just on her lineage alone. Tancred has that same bravery which makes them such a strong couple. I🤍LOVE how the slippers fit into this story it is so magical and different. I also🤍LOVED the storyline. It was so different and the way dragons where interpreted as shape shifters was so interesting. This is now my FAVORITE CINDERELLA RETELLING. Followed by Beholden by @jodyhedlumd. They are actually in a close tie 😂. Mainly due to this being unlike any Cinderella story I have ever read also. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STORY!!!! If you 🤍LOVE dragons, fairytales, magic, sweet romance, clean romance, and mystery you HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK

😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

Voice of a Siren by Kassidy Kameron

This was a very good first book from this author!!! I 💙LOVED the storyline, pacing of it, and the sweet romance between Landric and Shae. They where such a cute couple. I 💙LOVED how Landric managed to get Shae to laugh even though she had no voice. I also 💙 LOVED the nickname he gave her, and how smart Landric was when something was bothering her. Shae was also smart in that way, and I 💙LOVED how Landric supported her.

I do wish that their was more inspiring quotes in this book. The quotes I found where near the end, but it still deserves 4 stars. I just think she could of stuck some more inspiring ones throughout. Other that that I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this book. It is a a very good Little Mermaid Retelling. I did 💙LOVE the map at the end also, and I must mention the GORGEOUS COVER. It is so eye catching and was one of the reasons I decided to take a chance on this book. I am glad I did and I cannot wait to read more of her books.

Clone Wars: The New Padwan adapted by Eric Stevens

If you don't want to watch the Clone Wars Movie then you MOST DEFINITELY need to pick this book up. It is the first time a now beloved character showed up on the screen. I have to admit I thought she was a wee bit annoying at first, but she sure changed. Ahsoka's personality is what makes her so unique, and it is her experiences that make her wise. So if you are looking for a good book on a cold morning and you don't want to watch an entire movie, due to the sun is rising in the sky pick this book up. 

The Gryphon's Sister by Kimberly A. Rogers 

So much mystery and intrigue awaits you in this book from the very beginning. I💛LOVED all the mythical creatures not only in this book, but mentioned as well. I💛LOVE the romance that develops between Sybil and Damian. Damien tries his best to keep away from Sybil even though they are stuck in the same place with her brothers till a storm passes. The mystery of the curse and how it eventually was broken was very brilliant. I 💛LOVED how Damian found new meaning in life when he eventually stopped fighting his feelings for Sybil. I also loved how brave Sybil was in not being able to speak. She sure knew how to get her point across though it was funny at times. Especially when Sybil was interacting with her brothers. Damian and Sybil both come from tragic pasts, but they each find a way to a brighter future together. Also I must mention the beautiful cover that I absolutely 💛LOVE. The griffon and the characters fit so well with how they are depicted in the story. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this book. I almost couldn't put it down. It was mainly due to the food sounding good I had to stop and eat something😂.

The Seven Years Princess by Brittany Fichter

So many emotions this book evokes in you like happiness, sadness, fear, and anger. This book keeps you hooked wondering what will happen next. I 💖LOVED Maleen's determination, personality, and dedication to her sweetheart and whomever she considers family. I was irritated at Rob thinking he did abandoned her, but this really shows you the costs of actions taken in anger and lack of thought. I 💖LOVED Rob's character from the begining and after the initial irritation it shows you how much he had suffered in the seven years also. Poor Maleen all that she went through she did it with all the makings of the queens of old. Maleen and Robert where such a well matched couple and I 💖 LOVED how they each where determined and fought hard for their love for each other. I also really 💖LOVED their motto and their kingdoms motto on "HOLD FAST." It is such an inspiring one to have and made their love so unbreakable. The villain in this story I don't want to give too much away, but boy where they spooky and so different. I have never read the story this is based on, but this one would be incredibly hard to beat. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. The cover I just have to mention is so gorgeous and grabs your attention just like the story.

Also it had my favorite characters of Brittany Fichter's in it that I thought my cheeks would fall off from smiling so much reading PAGES that they where on. Literally a whole chapter with them in it.😍😍😍😍

The Flying Flea, Callie, and Me by Carol and Bill Wallace

This book is so precious! It teaches you the value in friendship, dedication, and teamwork. I 💜LOVED this book and the perspectives of the animals in it. You really could feel what the cat was feeling and I agree rats are scary. I💜LOVE how are the end the car realized he made an unlikely friend. One you wouldn't think a cat could make, but he did. I just 💜LOVED this book 

Galaxy of Creatures by Kristin Baver 

I Highly recommend this book. I ❤️LOVE that the length was perfect and it flowed together well. I also ❤️LOVE the pictures from the mini series. They are so adorable and depict some of my favorite scenes in the show. This is a perfect introductory into the world of Star Wars Creatures or if you are like me this had very good tibits of information that haven't been mentioned. I just loved this book❤️. 

The Mystery of Mammoth Mansion

This was so adorable and reminded me of one of my favorite rereads Lost in a Book. It is a Beauty and the Beast book on the live action Disney movie. However, the difference is that they couldn't get out. They had to go along with the story. I feel bad for poor Barney in this book, because he didn't want to check out the place to begin with. But their job was to see how many books where in town, and that house is one you do not want to read the books. At the end I was even thinking maybe it would be better to burn all those creepy things along with the house. I 💙LOVED the illustrations in this and found some quotes also. I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND if you like The Flintstones, books with mystery, or just something different

A Love Like Ours by Anna Augustine

This book was captivating from the start with all the intrigue, action,and romance. I loved Thaddeus and Amirah's story. It was so beautiful and they where so well matched, because of their personalities. They also made each other better with all the hardships they went through. I 💚LOVED that this story took on a biblical retelling at least for me. It reminded me of the story of Hagar who had Ishmael and then Isaac came along. I 💚LOVED the artistic abilities of Thaddeus and Amirah. He made figurines and I wish he could make me a Noah's Ark thing. It sounded so awesome on how he was going to make it. I bet it was beautiful when he had the chance to finish. I also💚LOVED that Amirah had a special spot to paint like Thaddeus had a special spot to carve. Their story was so beautiful.

I did love Brylee's story with Lachlan, but Silas's one intrigued me more. Bridget was such a different character and Silas was so funny. I🧡LOVED his personality he was sarcastic at times yet he showed more than once how he cared for his family and friends. I 🧡LOVED it when Bridget finally spoke up. I hate it when characters don't speak up, and she did. She finally had enough and let her sister know how she felt. This one reminded me of a Robin Hood retelling both Silas and Bridget reminded me of the hero in that tale.

Like the first one I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR DYSLEXICS. The formatting was easy to read, and the book flowed so well together.

Over all I recommend this for anyone wanting to read an adventurous and unexpected clean romance novel. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

 Ezra's Gamble by  Ryder Windham

This book was full of adventure, action, and high speed chases. I 🧡LOVED that you got more than a glimpse into Bossk's personality. He was such a unique character and despite him working for the villains he wasn't too bad at times. I also🧡LOVED that The Ghost had a brief, and not specified cameo in this book. Another thing that made this book stand out it gives you a glimpse into Ezra Bridger's life before the Rebels Show. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The only thing I wished was for the loth cats to be in the background when they where speeding by on the plains of Lothal. However, it did keep mentioning loth rats. So theirs a native creature mention even if it is just calling someone that. 

Bugs Bunny in The Stowaway

As usual for Looney Tunes it is really funny!!! Bugs Bunny just wants Yosemite Sam to drop him off somewhere, but he is too occupied with getting rid of him. Lol if only he would listen to Bugs he would of had the treasure and been gone. Instead he told him to save the treasure and the treasure to Bugs was... CARROTS. I🧡LOVED THE ILLUSTRATIONS, STORYLINE, AND OVERALL FEEL OF THE PLOTLINE. I definitely recommend this book 

The Furball Puppy and Me by Carol and Bill Wallace 

This book is so adorable!!! It is about a cat not only discovering the holidays, but how his actions also can affect him. He didn't think about his actions till it was almost too late, but boy that cat was so brave. He risked the consequences to find the real meaning of family. I🤍LOVE the illustrations in this page and the amazing details that went along with the story. It felt like you where actually the cat discovering things from a different perspective. I🤍LOVE the meaning of family and sacrifices along with love that comes from expanding it. I 🤍LOVE how the matriarchal cat helps Gray with the life lessons he needs and even helps him after he admits he made a mistake. This book I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It is funny, full of morals, and such a fun read for a cloudy day like today.

The Elven Spymaster's Thief by Elisa Rae

This is the fantasy book I have been waiting for!!!! It reminds me of the gargoyles show I grew up where Goliath is on Avalon. That Disney like magic that transports you to a different world. Where honor, loyalty, and friendships thrive. Where you only think about what is the next scene going to bring. I💗LOVE the different creatures this book had along with the vividly described scenery. I 💗LOVED the characters and not just the main ones. The side characters helped make this story what it is, especially Waldorf the brownie. I 💗LOVED his character and his cooking made me very hungry. The main characters are so funny, especially how Avril gets Ileron to lighten up by throwing peas at him. He has a hard job and she is exactly what he needs. She lightens his mood and he helps her enjoy things she hasn't had the chance to really enjoy. Their banter is so funny and changed the dark atmosphere that was their when Avril first came to the palace. The villian in this story is a mystery throughout. First you think it maybe one then another. It keeps you guessing and I 💗LOVE books with mysteries like this. I Highly recommend this book, especially if you want to read a clean fantasy book.

Monsters, Ooze, and Slime by Katie Cook

This book is sooooo ADORABLE!!! It is cute, funny, and full of interesting Star Wars facts on aliens and creatures I didn't even know. I have researched a lot on them, but some of these facts I have never even heard. The main thing I💜LOVE is that they have FYRNOCKS!!!! They are one of my favorite species Star Wars Rebels introduced us too.

This book also gives you information on Ewoks I didn't even think of and poor things. I just 💜LOVE how many creatures are mentioned in this. The one downside it could of left out Jabba the Hutt. He was never my favorite, but he is slimy even in his character. I Highly recommend this book, especially if you want quick facts on aliens and creatures. It also has information some of the other books don't have so another 💜BONUS!!!

This is full of history, redemption, and most of all accepting differences. Imogene and Jimmy made such an adorable and sweet couple. They loved each other so much and war almost tore them apart. Imogene learned so much from loving Jimmy and he her. She learned about differences and believing in those you love no matter how grim things look. This is also about faith and courage. Jimmy had such compassion and when he started trusting God that compassion he was able to finally put to good use. There was a lot of history in this book, and I didn't realize how horrible the Japanese treated their own people. Their is so much in this book it would take too long to explain it all. YOU MUST READ THIS FOR YOURSELF!!!! Jimmy and Imogene made me smile with their love for each other and put me on the edge of my seat when it was in danger. Their personalities meshes so well together. Her spunk and teasing mixed with his sense of duty to his family and compassion make them one of my FAVORITE COUPLES in a historical book
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book

Dark Side of the Sun by Rachel Druten

The Dark King and the Eternal Dance by Alesha Adamson

This story is beautifully woven together. It has romance, action, adventure, creatures, and magic. It talks about not only the Great Creator, but also has themes woven throughout. Themes like giving to others, giving of oneself, and following ones heart.
I💜LOVE how Rayna was so determined to help her family even if it meant sacrificing her happiness at first. I also💜 LOVE how Drake's personality fit so well with Rayna. They make such a perfect couple and team. Rayna is caring, but determined. Drake is serious, but caring. Rayna is the sunshine Drake needs in his life and he is the calm to her curious personality. I💜LOVE their banter and they put a smile on your face with their jokes toward each other. I also 💜LOVE how this story went differently than expected. I have never read a 12 Dancing Princesses story before, but I have to say this is my favorite. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. 

Olaf's Frozen Adventure Novel

I 🤍LOVED this!!! It was just like the holiday special, but better. It has a lot more detail and what went on during it that wasn't in the special.I🤍LOVED when these novels do that. I also🤍LOVE that almost all of my favorite scenes are depicted in the film pictures it has in it. If it had the kitten pictures with their sweaters on it would be even better. I HIGHLY recommend this book, especially if you 🤍LOVE Frozen Franchise and want a little more detail into this special.

The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming

So adorable!!! And I loved who the leaf thief turned out to be. It was so funny and cute. Especially at the end, because it was like here we go again. The poor squirrel didn't realize what was going on and the poor bird had to explain that his leaves weren't stolen. It wasn't until he told squirrel who the real leaf thief was he understood. That is until someone stole the grass at the end lol. I HIGHLY recommend this, especially if you are in need of a light and funny read. 

The Polar Bear Piper by Erica David

This is a perfect book to read on a snowy day like today!!! Mystery, adventure, and a little humor. This book is full of surprises. I🧡LOVE how the story Anna read was interwoven into the plotline in such a way you really don't think about it till all the pieces fall into place. I also 🧡LOVED not only the funny pied piper, but his unusual pipe was just so hilarious. The other thing I 🧡LOVED was the bits and pieces of information Anna and Elsa read about Polar Bears. It was interesting to know they usually don't go that far, which I didn't know. If you need a good read that is light and mysterious this is it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. here to add text.

Lucky the Squirrel by Jane Peacock

So cute, but it is still sad. So be warned their is a sad part in this story at the beginning. I did 🤎LOVE how this is a true story and how the poor little squirrel was saved. I also🤎LOVE how their is meaning to this story on how every little thing you do effects something. Like cutting down a tree or even taking care of a squirrel. If that little squirrel didn't have anyone to take care of him then he wouldn't of gone on to have little squirrels of his own. The last thing I will mention that I 🤎LOVED in this story was the illustrations they were realistic yet really cute and happy when everything was going right. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE

Anatole and the Toyshop by Eva Titus

 This book had critters, action, bravery, and more importantly is about family. I 💙LOVED how brave Anatole was, but I was also on the edge of my seat thinking his daring plan may not work. The author is a master at storytelling and I 💙LOVED that. You really felt for the characters. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.

A New Reindeer Friend by Jessica Julius

If you need something to make you smile or just a happy book I cannot recommend this enough. It is fun and full of surprises and the ending really puts a smile on your face. I🤍LOVED it especially since it was about spending time with family, getting ready for a ball ,helping a critter, and just having fun. I VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Seven Dwarfs Find A Home by Annie North Bedford

This is so adorable!!! It reminded me how Snow White found the house. I 💚LOVE how the animals not only helped the dwarves, but that they were good friends with them. This is such a cute tale and it is really nice to know that they cleaned at first, but of course working in the mines all day I guess they eventually didn't think it was a priority. I💚LOVED the illustrations and story. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CUTE TALE. 

Miss Suzy by  Miriam Young

This was soooo cute and such a sweet story. I🤎LOVE the illustrations, storyline, and the ending was perfect. I also🤎LOVE how this story has a meaning and it is if you be nice to someone else it comes back to you. Miss Suzy I just 🤎LOVED her character she was sweet, kind, compassionate, and carefree. The soldiers were so sweet too and they made me smile. I 🤎LOVED their personalities and how much they helped Miss Suzy, because she helped them. I CAN RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH. I JUST LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I VERY VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Better Together!

First book read of 2022 and it was adorable!!!! I 🧡LOVED how it showed not only sharing, but trying new things. The squirrels and chipmunks each did different things and in the end they decided to try what the other usually does for breakfast. I also 🧡LOVED the illustrations they were gorgeous, colorful, and eye-catching. The storyline was adorable and so sweet. The only think I didn't like was the end page I think it should of been written differently. Other than that I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!.
