My Review: What an amazing way to help kids understand controlling their emotions! This story was so cute! I loved meeting Flappy and Wrinkles! How To Save The Dragon is a great story to sit and read and then talk to your children or grandchildren with. Help them explain how it makes them feel when things don't go well or as they planned. Very well written and has a great message.

Review of Cupcakes and Casualty By Kat McGee
My Review: Cupcakes and Casualty is quaint and cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. While there were a few places in the book that I got tangled in what character did what and who was who. I still found the book enjoyable and sometimes comedic. I enjoyed the characters Aunt Cee Cee being my favorite. Even though she's not the main character she brings in some fun perspectives and is a true southern witch! The story winds around the murder of tour guide Lewanda Gail and spins it around everyone in town having you find out that Lewanda was not so liked by everyone. Then it leaves you trying to figure out if you really know who did it. A fun quirky cuddle up read. Give it a read.

Omen of Stones Cover Reveal
Title: The Omen of Stones
Author: Casey L. Bond
Genre: YA Fantasy
Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen
Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services
Publication Date: March 13th, 2020
Blurb:
Spirit and Stone. Song and Sky. Fate and Future all align.
On my seventeenth birthday, I finally heard Fate’s voice. He whispered to me again and again, insisting I find the Omen of Stones. Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise. Being surrounded by fellow witches worked my magic up into a powerful swell that crashed and churned within me. As the energy crackled through my veins, I shunned my royal duties to follow the call of my heart.
Venturing beyond the safety of the Kingdom’s borders, I felt Fate nudging me toward a destiny I was eager to claim. Confidence in my craft blinded me from the ominous clouds of danger that roiled on the horizon.
Captured by purists dead-set on purging the Kingdom of magic and witches, my salvation came in the form of a mysterious girl who wielded stones like daggers. Something about her called to me, whispering we were stronger together, strong enough to stand against the dark forces threatening to crush my kingdom. Trusting Fate could jeopardize my heritage and my throne, but defying him could cost Omen’s life.

When Wishes Bleed: https://books2read.com/u/m2r12d
I looked around at our house, then to the boy standing in it, into his honey-gold eyes. “I don’t regret saving you, and I don’t regret bringing you here, or making salve for you, or letting you stay. I don’t regret walking with you to see the flood. But if I had let those men drown you, or if I would’ve left you bound in the rope when I had the means to sever it, or outside without a roof over your head when I had one to offer… If I’d refused to ease the pain in your wrists, River, I would have regretted it. I would have regretted every second of any and all of those choices.”

Review of Ruby and the Beast
MY Review:
Ruby and the Beast has taken fairy tales to a whole new level. It's an adult love story that takes you through an emotional roller coaster ride where you end up on the edge of your seat. Ruby (main character) is going through heart break hell and she meets a beast that hurts so deep from a curse that he has carried his entire life. Can Ruby help the beast? Can the Beast help Ruby? Ina world where helping each other seems almost impossible, but maybe together they can see through the pain and come together. This story comes full circle and is amazing and I loved every page. Go grab a copy you will be glad you did.
