The Merchant’s Daughter Book Review

The Merchant’s Daughter is the second book in the Hagenheim series by Melanie Dickerson, and it is based on my absolute favorite fairy tale (ok, honestly I’ve never read the original fairy tale - I should though!!! I love the Disney movie - both old and new ❤️). The only obstacle I had to overcome was Beauty’s hair and eye color. It took me a while, but that did not take away from the story line at all. Amazing work done!

The Last Gasp Review and Giveaway

  When thinking of a Cinderella retelling, my mind certainly never went to the world that Chautona Havig has created. Havig has taken something “ordinary” and “mundane” and used her creative genius to form a world brimming with new possibilities. At the start of the book, Havig begins setting the stage with the main characters and we learn who is who. As the plot moves along, Havig does an excellent job of building the world and storyline. The plot moves along at a great pace and the character building is on par. But, this is what I have come to expect from a Havig book! Havig crafts great stories period.  While this is not a storyline I would have come up with, at the end, Havig will leave you believing that it is a wonderful real world. That’s the thing with great storytellers - they have the ability to take something no one else would dream of and make an amazing work of art out of it.  I received a copy of this book, but was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are

This is the first story I have read by Alana Terry and I was blown away! Alana Terry was able to captivate my attention from the beginning to the end.

Childhood Review and Giveaway!

In Childhood, we are able to see into the “beginning of the story” so to speak, and see where the main  characters in Greg Schaffer’s upcoming full length novel Fatherhood are coming from. I like the fact that we see into the backgrounds - a lot of times when we don’t know the background of someone, we are quick to judge rather than feel compassion. I’m looking forward to reading Farherhood when it comes out! About the Book Book:   Childhood Author:  Greg Schaffer Genre:   Contemporary Release Date:  February 10, 2020 Katie lived a lonely childhood, her after school time filled with responsibilities to her father and special needs brother.
