My Review:-My grandchildren and I did this book together. This is a lovely book that shows kindness, gratitude, and empathy. After each nursery rhyme there is six faces each on showing an emotion, with a few questions that there can point to what face they think is right or even how they feel. We all loved singing the nursery rhymes together. The art work is bright, colourful, even the three mice Brie, Cheddar and Goudal are so cute.

My Review:-Amanda moves to a new house in Longmeadow, New England. Amanda isn't like other children, she has a talent, she sees faces everywhere she goes...sidewalk cracks, brook stones, even trees. Daisy is Amanda's little kitten, that always sleeps with her, until one night Amanda wakes up with no Daisy next to her. Going outside to look for Daisy, Amanda makes new friends...Amika, Tetti, Connie, Melvin trees that can talk to her and she can talk back. There is only one problem Cronus, Cronus doesn't think the trees should talk to humans and tells the other trees it's wrong to talk to humans. This is a story that shows good and bad. This is a beautiful book with detailed drawings.

My Review:-This is Book Two in 'The Black Spring Crime series'. Jasper is now a trained assassin, he was trained by Foster, the man that killed his family. Foster kidnapped him and raised him. Jasper has followed  in the footsteps of Foster, not just a killer but also raising children of those he has killed. Jasper is telling his story in letters to Gulliver each one has a different date and name explaining how he came to be with Foster. This book had me hooked from page one, building a story in great detail, making it more interesting as you turn each page. It was a easy read that I didn't want to put down. Can't wait until Book Two is out. 

Let Them Float

 

Let Them Float
By Katy Wimhurst
Genre:-Short Stories/Magical Realism/Some Surrealism
Pages:-112
Publisher:-Alien Buddha Press
Blurb:-In these short stories, Katy Wimhurst creates off-killer worlds that illuminate our own. Apocalyptic rabbits invade a town. People overwhelmed by their lives float above an urban park. A woman turns transparent after a virus. The Messiah helps a grieving widow to garden. A retired man is desperate to see mermaids.
 The playful lens of magical realism and surrealism is used to explore physical and mental illness and our fragile environment. Most stories are set at a tipping point, just as change happens to a character or events escalate. Though-provoking fiction with a good dose of wry humour and whimsy.
Endorsements
"Kathy Wimhurst's stories are enchanting. They appear beguilingly simple yet contain layers of meaning and mystery. The author's inventive interpretations of familiar situations give any reader fresh insights into their own experiences. Even with dark subjects, there are always sparks of hope and humour.'-Dorothy Schwartz, author of Behind a Glass Wall.
 'Kathy Wimhurst combines charming whimsy with weighty environmental and psychological issues and, in the balance, she delights and surprises the reader. Rich imagination and fresh, clean writing.'-Petra McQueen, founder of The Writers' Company.

My Review:-This book is a collection of short stories. These stories are a mixture of magical and ones that we can relate to. I found 'Duskers' was so close to what a lot of people go through everyday, with chronic illness and trying to find someone that can understand just what it is like. I have chronic illness and like Helena in the book was gaslighted by the doctors. I also enjoyed 'Disillusioned by Mermaids', It was nice for a book to have stories about chronic illness as it's something that isn't spoken about as much as it should be, thank you for that.
There is a book that you can pick up and down. There is something for everyone.

Out of Oblivion
By Cathy Nortey

The book includes various Bible translations, reflection questions, and practical exercises to help you connect with God and experience His presence intimately. 

No matter where you are in life, you can experience a fulfilling and enriching journey with God. How? God is aware of every aspect of your life and invites you to step Out of Oblivion and embrace a profound Awareness of the Abiding Presence of God in Your Everyday
