The Collectibles

Review: The Collectibles - James J. Kaufman - 2011
Are you a fan or have you seen the movie or even read the book "The Ultimate Gift" , it's a christian film where in order for the grandson to inherit all this money he has to do a list of tasks and included in those tasks are strangers or how about the movie starring Haley Joel Osmett - Pay it Forward based on the book by Catherine Ryan Hyde. When reading , The Collectibles that's what it reminded me off. Our story starts with Joe Hart who is the type of guy to help somebody out when in need of dire straits etc Joe has always leaned on the motto of Do what the other fella can't , be what the other fella ain't and help the other fella . He sets out in life and works his way from the Navy to the best lawyer in the world. Enter in the second main character Preston, he is a trust-fund baby and has had everything handed to him on a silver platter. When a tragedy occurs which leaves Preston worried he is going to be penniless , he seeks out hellp from Joe. Joe decides to help him but with one condition - when Joe needs help , he will help and follow what Joe asks to a T. Preston, at his lowest agrees to Joe's requests. A few years pass and sooner than later Preston is called upon from Joe with his favour as Joe doesn't have much time left in the world. Preston must meet five people all of whom are part of Joe's "Collectibles" and earn their trust and care for them. Can Preston known for his selfishness , change his ways and honour Joe's request or will he find himself going back on his word ?
An amazing story which will see how one little action can change the whole world and those who follow.
The moral of the story - always lend a hand and pay it forward.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
