Mateo really enjoys this book! He loves the vibrant pictures and the alien family in the story. This is one we read at bedtime and Mateo loves to describe what he thinks is going on within the pages. We end up making up a different story every time. It is really fun and easy to do […]

November 6, 2017 by ·
I am not a big fan of anthologies, they’re hit or miss with me but how on earth could I say no to Jane Austen’s Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues? Yeah, I simply could not! As a matter of fact, I don’t think I have ever turned down an Austen Anthology. #Austenite ♥♥♥♥ Well needless to […]
Together Tea by Marjan Kamali
November 5, 2017 by ·
Books like Together Tea make my heart happy. I loved the history and the culture so brilliantly displayed. I loved the characters, their quirks and their flaws written so poignantly. But most of all, I loved the the relationships, from the friendships, to the romance and the mother/daughter element of it all. It was a […]
A Most Handsome Gentleman By Suzan Lauder
November 3, 2017 by ·
I can’t believe there is a JAFF that makes Mr. Collins, the most handsome man and it’s good! 🙂 I dearly love to laugh so this comedy of Pride and Prejudice was one that was right up my alley! Suzan Lauder can write! She writes such wonderful prose, such wonderful dialog and such an exceptional […]
President Darcy by Victoria Kincaid

However, the next door opened easily, revealing a closet full of mops, brooms, and buckets soaked in the stringent odor of cleaning supplies. What a mundane thing to find at the White House. Elizabeth hurriedly stepped inside, taking care not to knock over any of the brooms, and pulled the door closed behind her. The […]
Team BFF: Race to the Finish! by: Stacia Deutsch
October 31, 2017 by ·
I love books that portray girls who are loyal to each other, friendly to one another and are genuinely kind. This is the kind of example we need for our daughters. Team BFF is an excellent example of female friendship. It is a refreshing change from the ‘mean-girl” mentality we see often in TV and […]
The Mortician’s Daughter by C.C. Hunter
October 31, 2017 by ·
I am not one for books about ghosts and spirits, they are just too real for me. The title of this book intrigued me because I loved the show Six Feet Under and decided to give it a try. Filled with suspense, chills and thrills, The Mortician’s Daughter is as creepy as it is romantic!
I Am Sacagawea by Brad Meltzer
October 18, 2017 by ·
I love Brad Meltzer’s Ordinary People Change the World Series, these books are informational and inspiring. Sacagawea lived an extraordinary life. As a young mother, on a quest with Lewis and Clark and did not allow herself to confined. This book is perfect for this day and age to teach young girls that they have […]
Dear Martin by Nic Stone
October 17, 2017 by ·
Sometimes a book needs no words…it need advocates, it needs book pushers, it needs people to put it in the hands of our youth. Dear Martin is one of those books. Let’s put it in our libraries, in our schools, and in the hands of our future.

Seventeen-year-old Tess Fowler has just dropped out of high school. She can barely function after learning of Jonah’s death. Jonah, the boy she’d traded banter with over texts and heartfelt e-mails. Jonah, the first boy she’d told she loved and the first boy to say it back. Jonah, the boy whose suicide she never saw […]
