3rd Book in The Green Princess Trilogy and More with a Linky

The Green Princess Trilogy:

Flourish (Book 3)

About the Book:

Title: The Green Princess Trilogy: Flourish (Book 3) | Author: H.L. Burke | Pages: 283 | Genre: Fantasy | Recommended Ages: Young Adult and up

Book Description:

Bryce and Kitrin defied kings and magic to be together.

On the eve of happiness, an act of dark magic creates a barrier between them. One too strong even for love to overcome.

A sprung trap separates Bryce from his friends and beloved Kit. Assumed dead by his allies in the flora magi rebellion, he finds himself at the mercy of his closest relative—and greatest enemy—Fire King Langstyn. With foul powers, the heartless king turns Bryce into a weapon against Kit.

Pregnant, alone, and believing her beloved lost forever, vengeance burns within Kit's heart. Langstyn stole the only man she'll ever love. Kit won't rest until he's paid for his crimes.

When the truth of Bryce's captivity reaches her, Kit's torn between standing with the rebel army and sacrificing everything to save her beloved. The flora magi need her as their leader. Her unborn child needs her care. But Bryce is her heart.What good is victory if it means heartbreak?

Purchase on Amazon:

Kindle | Paperback

My Review:

Flourish, the final book in The Green Princess Trilogy, is intense! Bryce gets ripped away from Kit at a time when she needs him most. She's pregnant with their first child when she hears the most devastating news that Bryce is dead. But there are some things worse than death as both Kit and Bryce are both about to find out.

Wynna, who we meet in Book 2, plays a key role in Book 3. I knew that I wanted to see more of her and so I was glad when that was the case. Regyn is just as awesome as usual. He gets a lot of good lines in this book and Wynna too. Sprout, the plant dragon, plays a very minor role this time. I would have liked to have seen the plant dragons being utilized in at least one battle. This book has a powerful final chapter with the epilogue being the icing on the cake!

Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Nyssa Glass's Clockwork Christmas

A Christmas Novelette by H.L. Burke

My Review:

Nyssa Glass's Clockwork Christmas is a stand-alone novelette reminiscent of O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi." I've always loved that story and this one won't disappoint. H.L. Burke's rendition is full of steampunk references with a few surprises and plenty of interesting characters.

Nyssa and Ellis are both good at tinkering and creating new inventions. They also have each other's backs. This will be their first Christmas together and they both want to find each other the perfect gift. Things don't always go as planned and things go downhill before they go up.

I recommend that you read at least one other book in the series first to understand the main characters better, but it's not completely necessary. Some of the back story is scantily explained to help the reader follow along, which is a good thing, because too much recapping can get tedious. This is an awesome steampunk Christmas story and I highly recommend it!

About the Author:

H.L. Burke

Born in a small town in north central Oregon, H. L. Burke spent most of her childhood around trees and farm animals and always accompanied by a book. Growing up with epic heroes from Middle Earth and Narnia keeping her company, she also became an incurable romantic.

An addictive personality, she jumped from one fandom to another, being at times completely obsessed with various books, movies, or television series (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Star Trek all took their turns), but she has grown to be what she considers a well-rounded connoisseur of geek culture.

Married to her high school crush who is now a US Marine, she has moved multiple times in her adult life but believes home is wherever her husband, two daughters, and pets are.

3 Clean Christmas Romances and a Linky!

All 3 Christmas Romances Are
Only $0.99 Each!

Christmas with the Recluse
by Victorine E. Lieske

My Review of
Christmas with the Recluse:

This is a wonderful Christmas romance with all the feels. This is not just a fluffy story; it's deeply moving and one point had me nearly in tears. If you've ever lost a loved one, then you'll identify with these characters. Alexander is rude and abrasive while Charley is a breath of fresh air. The limited staff at Alexander's estate and the UPS guy are also fun side characters. Something I would have liked the author to develop further was showing off Charley's skill as an antique appraiser either during the story or in the epilogue, since it is a passion of hers.

Purchase Christmas with the Recluse on Amazon

A Tree for the Billionaire
by Michelle Pennington

My Review of
A Tree for the Billionaire:

This is a "two weeks notice" romance with its own sweet characters and their touching story. It's a feel-good story and perfect for Christmas time. In fact, I think the title should have been "A Christmas for the Billionaire" since it's the holiday that makes the story more than an evergreen tree.

Kate has given her all in the past 2 years as the personal assistant to her billionaire boss, Christopher. She realizes that she can no longer work for him, since her heart breaks every time she sees him with a new dazzling girlfriend. When she hands in her notice, Chris realizes what he's about to lose and he's determined to change her mind. What he doesn't realize is that she is in love with him and he hasn't even had a chance to consider his own feelings for her. A Christmas holiday, something that he would normally never take, puts things into perspective. Kate isn't willing to play games - to be just a passing fling - but she is willing to show her boss, before heading home to her parents, that Christmas can be a special time of the year.

Purchase A Tree for the Billionaire on Amazon

Taming Scrooge
by Sophia Summers

My Review of
Taming Scrooge:

Taming Scrooge is a wonderful clean Christmas romance with an interesting storyline. It's no wonder that Ezra Stone has been named Mr. Scrooge. He has bad memories of Christmas and only cares about making a profit with his new resort while Star Henley cares about more than just the bottom line. The two are pushed into working together on the Festival of Trees and sparks fly. Both Ezra and Star run hot and cold in this entertaining read. The chemistry between them was described simplistically. A clean read can still have good chemistry. It's a quick read and perfect for the holidays.

Purchase Taming Scrooge on Amazon

Match Me by Christmas and Never Say Match with a Linky

Match Me by Christmas

By Lindzee Armstrong

My Review:

This is a wonderful sweet romance that is perfect for the holidays or any time of the year! Lindzee Armstrong delivers compelling characters and situations.

Natalie is on an 8 day cruise to write an article about the matchmaking singles tour. She's a skeptic that people can fall in love in such a short amount of time. She crashes into Shawn who turns out to be the coordinator of the event on board and who has been working for the cruise ship for the past 10 years. She's almost fresh out of college and he's about 10 years her senior. She's young and energetic with a whole life ahead of her and he's mildly disabled with a desire to finally put down roots. Natalie and Shawn have great chemistry, but is the attraction for real or worth fighting for?

Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Purchase on Amazon

Never Say Match

By Lindzee Armstrong

My Review:

Cassidy Erickson was jilted in the worst possible way by her actor fiancé, so when a famous co-star named Jase Larson arrives on her parents' farm, she's livid. She still lives with her parents, so avoiding him will be impossible. The story unfolds in a natural way with great characters and fun dialogue. If you like horses, cowboys, cakes, and movie stars, then you'll enjoy this full-length romance novel by author Lindzee Armstrong! Each story in the No Match for Love series is a stand-alone, but this one follows after Match Me by Christmas.

Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Scavenger Scout: Rock Hound and a Linky

Tumbled Gemstones

We have a collection of tumbled gemstones, including Agate, Amethyst, Dalmatian Stone, Jasper, Snowflake Obsidian, Tiger Eye, and Unakite. Amanda chose most of them from the Scratch Patch in Simon's Town, South Africa. I'll be sharing more photos in detail of our collection on Tuesday, so be sure to visit!

If you want to introduce your children to the natural world of colorful rocks this Christmas, then consider getting them the Scavenger Scout: Rock Hound, a few semi-precious gemstones, and a poster of gemstones with their names. Not only is this a fun gift idea, but it's also educational!

Scavenger Scout:

Rock Hound

About the Book:

Title: Scavenger Scout: Rock Hound | Author: Shelby Wilde | Illustrator: Yana Popova | Pages: 22 | Genre: Children's Picture Book on Rocks and Minerals | Recommended Ages: 4 - 8

Book Description

Scavenger Scout is not an ordinary seven-year-old. She's a rock hound! Hunting for rocks is her passion and she loves to show and tell. The stories she tells are more fantasy than reality, but the rocks she hunts are real. Follow along as she haggles with a host of characters to add rocks to her collection. Follow Scout as she hunts for azurite, alexandrite and fluorite and find the rock on every page!

STEM-inspired story that encourages creative problem solving

Scavenger Scout uses science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) concepts to overcome the challenges she faces. Kids will delight in the real-life rock hounding tools Scout uses such as a crack hammer, chisel or a rock hammer. Kids can use their powers of observation to search for the rock on each page and come up with hypotheses for how they would get each of the rocks home.

Seek-and-Find Element

The story of Scavenger Scout will appeal to kids who love to hunt and who love adventure, so why not give them the opportunity to help Scout find the rock on every page? In each vignette, Scout hunts for a different rock and kids get to hunt with her! The difficulty level varies with each page so even kids as young as 2 or 3 will be able to find the rocks.

“Scavenger Scout: Rock Hound” is the perfect holiday gift or birthday gift, but would also be a great gift for when your favorite Scout moves up from Daisies to Brownies or Bobcat to Tiger Cub or Scout to Tenderfoot.

This book is the first book in a series and is crafted for ages 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, preschool and kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade.

Purchase on Amazon

My Review:

I love the concept behind Scavenger Scout: Rock Hound. This book introduces children to beautiful earth and space rocks as 7-year-old Scout goes on adventures to find them. She uses a bit of technology and engineering to retrieve them. The illustrations are gorgeous and there's also the seek-and-find element where young ones get to look too!

My 10-year-old daughter, Amanda, read this picture book to me. She enjoyed searching for the rocks hidden in the colorful illustrations. She looked for blue azurite in the cave, green and purple flourite on the ocean floor, the changing green and red alexandrite in Saturn's rings, and more! We both recommend this book for children 8 years and younger.

Disclosure: I own a Kindle version of this book. I chose to do this review with Amanda and this is our honest opinion.

The Mark by Edyth Bulbring and a Linky

Most of my regular readers know that I'm a volunteer reader at the Blind Institute here in South Africa. All of the reading I do is in a sound room and most is related to school. I just finished reading the book depicted below for Grade 10, which you can find on Amazon, but with a different cover design.

The Mark

About the Book:

Title: The Mark | Author: Edyth Bulbring | Pages: 237 | Genre: Dystopian | Recommended Age: Young Adult | Trigger Warning: Extreme Violence

Book Description:

In the future, the world has flipped. Ravaged by the Conflagration, the State of Mangeria is a harsh place where the sun beats down, people’s lives are run by a heartless elite and law is brutally enforced. A mark at the base of the spine controls each person’s destiny. The Machine decides what work you will do and who your life partner will be. Juliet Seven – “Ettie” – will soon turn 15 and her life as a drudge will begin, her fate-mate mate will be chosen. Like everyone else, her future is marked by the numbers on her spine. But Ettie decides to challenge her destiny. And in so doing, she fulfills the prophecy that was spoken of before she even existed.

Purchase on Amazon

My Review:

The Mark is a dystopian novel that takes place after the world has burned and the sun beats down mercilessly. It is hell on earth in more ways than one. The elite few have all the privileges and use their power to dominate everyone else. There are horrific human right's violations in every chapter. One of them is to discard people once they lose their usefulness.

A girl named Juliet, who goes by Ettie, is raised as an orphan and trained to do menial labor as a drudge. She has learned that to survive, you have to be a nobody and trust no one. She blends in so well, that people assume she lacks intelligence and has no feelings. She also pretends not to know how to read, since kids like her aren't taught that skill.

The story is told through her eyes and her thoughts are dripping with sarcasm. Ettie uses concepts from classic books and fairy tales to describe her world. She calls her handler, Xavier, a tricksy hobbit and the doctors in lab coats Frankenstein 1 and Frankenstein 2. She also uses lines from nursery rhymes, which point to happier times and which are in stark contrast to her harsh reality. It's her love of stories that helps her connect with one of the children of the elites.

Ettie, like everyone else, has a number on her back to keep her under the control of the elites. For years she has been trying to find a way to remove the mark, but without success. The Machine tracks her mark and determines what work she will do and who she will marry, but she doesn't like being controlled by the Machine or by a vague prophecy. She has a purpose to fulfill; a prophecy that is whispered by a scattering of rebels. No one believes that the prophecy is about her, except for the hadeda ibis birds. These are large ugly birds whose eyes have been cruelly removed to trigger their ability to foretell the future. Whenever Ettie is near, they screech at her warnings about her future.

This is a well-written story. There are twists and turns that will keep you guessing. The use of sarcasm is the right choice of humor for this hell on earth. If you're looking for a happily-ever-after, then this book isn't for you. It also doesn't have a complete ending. It's written for young adults, but because of the brutality, it should come with an age restriction of 16 and up.

Hide it In Your Heart in 2019

This 2019 calendar features a Bible verse for each week in creative fonts that can be colored in. A wide variety of holidays are listed, both traditional and unusual. (Do you know when Appreciate a Dragon Day is? How about Lost Sock Memorial Day?) You’ll have plenty of room to record your activities and appointments in the section for each day and week. After every month, you’ll find word puzzles featuring key words from that month's scriptures and holidays.

Prepare for a year full of coloring and fun that will help you hide God's Word in your heart in 2019 without even trying!

Purchase this calendar from Amazon now!

My Review

Hide it In Your Heart is a unique coloring calendar created by Annie Douglass Lima. There are 53 Bible verses and 24 word puzzles for adults and kids. We found the pages lots of fun to color and there's a variety of pictures to choose from. Some of the details in my picture were almost too fine, making it more challenging than I had expected. Other pictures have less details for the younger ones. Amanda's page was perfect for a 10-year-old and Samantha (age 18) loved her sea themed one! I recommend this calendar for the family. It will brighten your year!

Disclosure: I received a digital copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Here's a peek at some sample pages!

(In the actual calendar, each page is 8 1/2" x 11".)

Weekend Linky

How to use the linky widget:

First make sure that you load this page as http and not https if you want to see the linky. Type in the name of your blog or blog post under Link Title, then type in your email under Email Address (which I don't sell to anyone), then copy your permalink to your post (most link parties ask for blog posts and not blog homepages) and paste that under URL (make sure that you use http:// or https:// only once), then click Submit Link and that's it!
